precaution taken by the fire chief.
one thing Chief Vail wishes TO i'm
press upon the principals of schools IS
that at the moment fire is discovered
an alarm should be turned into head
quarters. Through a mistake, a state
ment was published q few days ago to
the effect that some OF the principals
had said they instructed the teachers to
not turn in an alarm until all the
children were out Of the building. Chief
Vail says that this is mistake, and
that an alarm should be turned in the
first thing.
Chief Vail has not visited all the
schools as yet but Those that have

BIG EXCURSION PLANNED.
Commercial Club Committee
Meets This Afternoon to
start the Ball Rolling.
niscusses Ways and Means to Send
one Thousand People to Welcome
The Pacific Fleet.

The Commercial club excursion COM
rlttee of which w. L. Bailey is chair
man is meeting this afternoon, to dis
cnss ways and means for the Inaugural
tion of the largest excursion that ever
went out of this city, to go to San Fran
cisco MAY 8. and witness the arrival of
the great American war fleet. Moreover,
the Commercial club itself will take an
active hand in arranging for the not
able event and with the committee on
excursions get things moving bright
and early. 1t is proposed to send sew
oral long excursion trains from this
city and ogden westward, carrying over
n thousand people, so that Utah and
contiguous territory will he well rep
resented.
SPECIAL TESTIMONIAL.
But this is not all. Manager Harris
OF the Commercial club and others are
proposing that some special testimonial
shall be presented to Vice Admiral
Evans from salt Lake and Utah citi-
zens. inasmuch as he resided In this
state when Capt Hooper appointed him
"A
this commonwealth is peculiarly in
terested In the admiral's success
and personal welfare generally.
That this testimonial shall be
suitably pretentious and worthy
Of the occasion is the determination of
those having the matter in charge. The
proposition is to raise $1,000 for the
purchase OF a badge, or souvenir to be
presented the admiral by IA committee
rom the Commercial club shortly after
the arrival of the Utah excursionists at
san Francisco. He will be invited
to one of the larger hotels in whose ro-
tunda the whole delegation can gather
TO witness the pleasing event, where
the formal presentation will be made
with the usual fluctuations, and where
every Utah person present can have
chance to shake hands with the former
naval cadet from Utah. 1t viii be u
great occasion. something not to be for
gotten in the history of the state.
DIR. SNYDER STARTS 1T,
According to expectations. there Will
be great rush into San Francisco
from all parts of the west by special
trains as well as the regular service,
so that the maneuvers of the fleet In
the bay will be witnessed by over a
million people. The excursion from
this state will be "the talk of the town"
from now on. DR.. j. w. Snyder has
sent Manager Harris of the CONNER
cla club his check for 500 as a starter

phe radical steps heretofore advocat-
ed by him and adopted as a part of
the Democratic program of Idaho did
not seem to meet with that cordial re-
ception that the advocates thereof
hoped for.
Victory that seemed so near was yet
so far and now 1T seems further off
than ever under that sort of regime.
PROGRAM TOO RADICAL.
This is strongly indicated by the re-
volt in Democratic circles against this
radical program and the formation
of q program to unite the Democratic
party on broad Democratic lines and
to make paramount in this campaign
the election of Bryan, national issues
and an assault upon the present extra
VACANT and incompetent administra-
ton of state affairs by the Republicans.
BACK TO PRINCIPLES.
In nearly every county in the state
prominent Democrats express them
selves as favorable to this view and
will no doubt secure sufficient delegates
to control the coming Democratic state
conventions. cutting out entirely the
so-called Mormon question and bring
ing the party back to broad Democrat
is principles. The viruent attack on
prominent Democrats made through
Senator Dubois paper, in which he
likened them to the Indians who were
the Mormon allies, as he alleges in the
EDITORIAL, in the celebrated Mountain
Meadow massacre, and even reflected
upon their ancestry, has proved
boomerang and hundreds of Democrats
who were in doubt as to what ought
to be done are now lined up with
such men as j. II. Hawley, X. /. Perky,
George Ainsley, John Nugent, Karl
Rice, and others. In grim determine
ton to carry both the conventions in
favor of their proposition.
MORMON QUESTION.
As a basis for their contention they
hold that this question, to wit, the
Mormon issue, is now in the courts,
which alone can determine the facts in
the case and when so determined by
the courts the so-called Mormon ques-
ton will be settled and settled in the
only way possible.
There is a systematic organization
among Democrats in this behalf all
over the state md 1t Is altogether pro-
bable that they will control both con-
Ventions.
