The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1908-11-01
Chairman McGinty's View.


]. E. McGiuty, chairman Of the Amer
lean county committee. when asked for
a statement in regard 10 the election,
had the following to say:
"There is no doubt in my mind az TO
the results of this election if Ameri-
cans do their duty. The entire county
ticket will win from 1000 TO 5000 plur.
ality. We should also elect the Third
judicial ticket, including the four
judges and district attorney. The peo-
pie of Salt Lake county are wide awake
10 the situation. The methods of the
Republican party in Salt Lake county
in playing dirty politics will be resented
on Tuesday. The people of this county
are too intelligent 10 believe the false
hoods and outrageous statements that
have been made against the American
party In my judgment these have made
many votes for us.
"Tbe American voters should look
with great deal OF suspicion TO any
efforts that are made 10 induce them
to scratch a candidate on the Ameri-
can ticket. in favor OF q Republican
candidate. They should keep it well
in mind that IL is Of the utmost i'm
portance that the entire county admin
istration be American. Any person
crat for any county office is running
the risk of defeating the very purpose
Of his party. II is also imperative that
the county offices be administered by
American officials, in order that the
party may have the full party benefit
that attaches 10 every office In the
county. Any person who sympathizcs
with the American movement should
see to it that he votes the straight
American ticket. Any person who de.
sires the party TO have the full bene-
tit of his vote should see 10 it that he
votes the state, ludicial, county and
precinct tickets without exception.
Will Win on Tuesday.
"Certain candidates. in order TO de-
lude and mislead American voters, are
representing that they are as good
Americans as the nominees of the Amer
lean party A statement of this char.
acter is absurd and should mislead no
ono. There is 20 doubt that we will
win great victory, but it is impressed
upon all American voters to use their
every effort in behalf Of the American
ticket throughout, in order that our
party may have the full benefit and
advantage of their vote.
'We have indisputable proof that the
opposition is resorting TO the most des-
picable and dishonest methods TO carry
the election. They have colonization
schemes in the various districts, espe-
cially in those outside of the city, the
purpose of which is to have persons
living in remote sections Of the state
10 vote against US. We have informa-
ton 10 The effect that well known
residents of the country. a hundred
miles from here, are stationed in the
city for the purpose of voting on elec-
tion day. Church Republicans have
control OF the election machinery and
will not scruple to instruct their elec.
tion judges to prevent persons from vot-
ing whom they believe will vote tho
American ticket. For this reason, ii is
important that every American en-.
titled to vote go to the polls early on
election day and demand that be be
allowed to exercise his franchise. They
must insist upon their rights under the
law and use every effort 10 the end
that inscriptions election Judges shall
not disfraDchise them.
Should Vote Early.
"I cannot too strongly impress upon
the mind of the American voter the
Importance of voting early. We are
making strong efforts to poll an early
vote before noon on election day, If
possible. The advantage in doing this
will be apparent if the voters will stop
to consider that challenges to delay
the vote will be practiced in the dis
tricts, that are known to be strongly
American.
"There is absolutely no question but
that the American party will win a
glorious victory on the Sd Of Novern.
her, if tine American vote is polled.
This statement is based upon our knowl.
edge of the intentions of the good cit
izens of Salt Lake county. To vote to
place in power men who will work for
the Improvement OF conditions in the
county.
"All progressive citizens who have
interests in the county are extremely
anxious that the same progressive pol
