The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1908-10-30

Why does not the church Republican
party send John c. Mackay out in Salt
Lake county 10 make speeches for the
church Republican party and for him
county commissioner OF course be
would not tell the people anything
about the personal graft which the
taxpayers put up for him. He would
not tell anything about the improve
ment he has made in his own locality
and ignored all other parts OF the
county. He would not say anything
about how, as chairman Of the farmers
committee, be forced the closing of
the valley smclters in mid winter, re-
sulting in 1000 workmeu being thrown
out of employment. These are just a
few things that he would not mention.
But he could whisper. He could say
that all Mormon Democrats had been
commanded to vote the Republican
affiliations, and that is all he could
or would talk about. People will not
forget him next Tuesday, and he will
be the worst beaten man on the church
Republican ticket.
Now that Chairman Jody Eldrcdge
OF the church Republican county com
mittee has given his estimate Of the
number of voters registered in Salt
Lake county. be mi ght give out an
estimate of the number Of fraudulent
names which the church Republican
gang had placed upon the books.
Americans caught registration officers
who were registering the names of
young men who were under age with
without their presence and who had
not voted for three years, knowing
that they intended to attempt to vote
the church Republican ticket
In one district In the Second ward,
where over 500 voters are registered,
prominent elder in the church and
member Of the last Legislature, busted
himself Tuesday and Wednesday in
bringing others up to the registra-
ton office. During the two days he
succeeded in registering thirty aliens,
all members of the dominant church.
These thirty aliens are aliens in every
sense OF the word, never having been
naturalzed, and n number not having
resided in the United States long
enough TO obtain their first papers
They are all known, and should they
arrest will follow at once.
Mr.. Eldrcdge and his gang may as
well understand now, as they will upon
election day, that if these fraudulent
voters attempt to cast q vote next
Tuesday that they will certainly be
arrested, This is the year when
Americans propose TO have square
deal at the polls. and they will have it,
regardless of the army of deputy
sheriffs which the church Republican
crowd viii have al the polling places;
regardless of the fact that IN many
districts the Judges of elections all be-
long to the church Republican party
Every man who is entitled to vote
on Tuesday can cast his votes but the
thugs who have been fraudulently
registered by Mr. Eldredge's registra-
The church Republican gang arc
fraud in registration, but they
make the charge simply to cover their !
own frauds. In one district Ameri- |
can workers found twelve voters who |
had voted in that district at the last !
but whose names were |
omitted from the registration books. |
All the twelve were Americans.
