IN WEBER COUNTY.

Among the important contests in the
state is the fight in Weber county be-
tween the Republican gang and the
Democratic party. The focus of this
fight is the candidacy of c. c. Richards
against Judge Howells, but the two
tickets represent in their entirety the
struggle between a corrupt administra-
ton of public affairs, as presented by
the Republicans. and the movement for
reform and clean politics, in which Mr..
Richards has taken the leadership.
Judging by reports which ought to be
accurate, the issue is practically set
tied now in favor of the Democratic
ticket and the housekeeping its success
insures in Weber county's offices. The
Herald believes the whole Democratic
ticket should be elected, not solely be-
cause the candidates happen to be
Democrats. but also because they stand
for the best in citizenship and govern
ment
Any community is fortunate when it
can secure the services of a man of c.
c. Richards ability and integrity on
the bench; Weber county is doubly for
tunate. because his candidacy is q
guarantee of efficiency in Office and a
high standard of administration in
county affairs by the men associated
with him on the ticket

TRUSTS SUPPORT TAFT.

Don't forget that the Standard Oil,
the steel trust, the paper trust and all
the rest of the unholy and Illegal COM
binations are supporting Taft for pres

subject to their bidding. The ArchboId
letters prove conclusively that men in
every walk of life have been "oiled''
for political purposes. The Standard
people had row with Roosevelt over
campaign contributions: they gave
100000, and CorteIyou demanded $780,
900 more. Taft and John D. understand
each other; there will be no future hag-
Cling over campaign funds.

SILENCE is CONFESSION.

In spite of the direct charge that a
syndicate of Americans profited TO the
extent of many millions when the $40,
100000 Panama canal money was ''cut
up. and Notwithstanding the fact that
the administration has been challenged
to tell the truth about the transaction.
a dense silence has been maintained at
the White House and all the depart
ments of the government.
This is tantamount to a confession
that something that would not stand

is accused of sharing in the spoils; the
Republican candidate for president was
secretary of war at the time the deal
was made; Charles P. Taft, brother of
the candidate, is alleged to have been
one of the benefciaries, and William
Nelson Cromwell, Sattorney for many
law-breaking corporations and one of
the chief managers for Mr.. Taft during
the campaign just ended. is known to
have been at the head of the con-
spiracy.
The people should have been informed
as to all the details of the transaction
before election day. but Mr. Roosevelt
has chosen 70 keep them in the dark.
But one construction can be placed
upon his obstinate silnece-the syndi-
cate got the money as alleged. and the
administration dare not tell the truth
about it. Can the voters of Utah take
chances on the election of Judge Taft,
who is clearly implicated?

SIzINe UP THE SITUATION.

On the morning of the most impor-
tant election held since Lincoln's first
candidacy, the outcome of the DAYS
voting is as uncertain as II was in
1854, when Cleveland carried the ma
ton by very narrow margin in New
York's vote. and the issue was in doubt
for some days.
This year the Democrats have every
reason to believe they will win, and
that Bryan will be elected by an over
whelming majority in the electoral COL
lege- They appreciate the enormous
odds against them but they also know
the currents in their favor and they
have facts that justify their confidence.
It is conceded in advance that New
YORK; and possibly one other northern
state may determine the final result.
Careful observers believe that some OF

it is no safe guide TO public sentiment

call il, and on form the Republicans
are naturally the favorites in presiden-

men in the various branches OF trade
will be cast for Bryan and against
Taft. These men know precisely what
they are doing. They have been dis
cussing economic questions in their
lodge rooms for years, and most of
them are extraordinarily we'll posted on
all matters affecting their own inter
ests- The Republican party has worked
its game to the extreme limit, and the
time has arrived when deception can
be practiced no longer. The bribery of
few labor leaders with promise of
office does not pull the wool over the
eyes of the great mass of toilers. Hon
eyed words butter no parsnips, and
President Roosevelt has been unable to
cajole or coerce the union men into
voting for Taft. They know better.
President Gompers has been accused
of saying he would deliver the labor
vote to the Democracy. OF course he
didn't say it. because he knew he
couldn't deliver ii. The laboring men
are voting for Bryan because they be-

the states which are not counted in the
Bryan column viii go for him in the
landslide that started early in the cam
paign, but il is probable that the En-
pire state will be the pivotal point OF
! battle. Indiana is counted in the Bry-
an column certainly; so is Nebraska
Colorado is believed to be Democratic
Montana likewise, and Nevada seems
safe for the Democrats. The more san
guine leaders believe Ohio will be
against Taft. but If it is the unbroken
record of presidential elections since
1852 will be broken. Counting the south
solidly for Bryan, Chairman Mack of
the Democratic national committee de-
clares Bryan will have 1893 electoral
votes. He bases his claim on advices
from every state, and the advices are
based on careful polls. particularly in
the doubtful states.
On the other hand, Chairman Hitch
cock declares Taft will have 325 votes,
and he counts in these Ohio, Indiana
and New Jersey. all of which are also
claimed by the Democrats.
The one doubtful factor in the stu
alton is the labor vote, which for the
first time in a national election has
been considered as a unit For ten
days the Republicans have been direct
ing their efforts toward this vote. Mr.
Taft's speeches, the presidents letters,
the literature of the national commit
tee and the money appropriated for the
crisis of the campaign, have all been
concentrated on the labor centers. This
are alarmed at the sentiment against
Mr.. Taft among the laboring element
If labor follows its leaders, the vote in
Industrial states, like New York, New
Jersey. Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, is likely
to be a tremendous surprise for the
politicians.
One complication that has disturbed
the Republicans is their inability to
gauge the sentiment of this vote ac-
curately. In every oCher class of voters
ii is not difficult to get an open express
sion of opinion; among laboring men
who value their jobs and have felt the
pressure of employers in behalf of Taft,
1t is impossible to get an outspoken
declaration that would serve as a guide
for estimates.
That is why there is such a wide diff
ference Of opinion as to the result, and
it explains why the Republicans have
exhausted every argument to discredit
Mr.. Gompers and convince the labor
men that Taft is their friend. The most
discerning newspaper men who have
studied the conditions in the doubtful
states admit they are puzzled by this
element, and the ablest of them declare
no man can tell what the labor vote
will do.
Yesterdays estimates in New York
brought no light on the situation. The
New York newspapers admit that the
state is in doubt, except that CHAMBERS
election seems assured. 1t is almost
certain, therefore. that the presidency
for the next four years will be deter
mined by New York. and that the re-
suit there hinges upon developments on
election day which no man can foresee.

VOTE FOR KNIGHT AND BRYAN.

In this campaign The Herald has laid
special stress on the candidacy of Jesse
w. knight for governor and the desir-
ability Of his election. not because of
the Importance OF the Office, but be-
cause his victory would be the triumph
of clean politics. and because it is the
one hope OF peace in this state
Mr.. Martineau for congress and all
the other candidates are equally well
qualified to represent the people in of
fee, and they are equally entitled to
the suffrages OF the people. Like Mr.
knight. they desire peace. the end of
factions and the restoration ofparty
lines Like him, they are identified
with no faction. committed to no dis
sessions among the people.
Mr.. Knights election, however. is the
best test of sentiment in the state at
large. because his opponent is identi-
fled with one of the two political organ
izations which is stirring up strife con-
tnually and profiting by the troubles of
the state. The two men present very
clearly the question whether Utah is to
gain peace by dismissing the disturb
ers. or whether the state and all its
people are TO be torn by faetionaI feuds
Tor at least four years more.
On this issue alone the Democratic
ticket should be elected. and when TO
this is added the desirability of a clean
slate. a new start in national. state and
local affairs, the outcome should be as
sured- II there is one place In the
Union where a new deal all around is
desirable. it is in Utah: and IL there
is one man whose election would insure
clean administration, the cessation of
Internal trouble. the inauguration of
peace and prosperity, that man is
Jesse w. Knight.
In the national field, Mr. Bryan is the
natural choice of Utah; and here again
Democratic victory would go far to-
ward clearing up the states difficulties

federal bunch would have to go out of
