much cement to take. No one tilted the transit to
an inspired angle and for the confusion of the en-.
gineer.
And yet because Kelsey, an accomplished work,
man, declined to bow the knee the bosses of the
American party, he is thrown from Office in such
disgrace as bounce by bosses can imply.
For four years they have made his policy their
own. They have Endorsed him by every session
OF their Juggling city council. They have claimed
the benefits of his achievements for their party They
nave lauded Kelsey to the skies-and never uttered
word against them till their demands upon his
manhood grew too great for Kelsey to standard he
revoted And at the very first sign of independence
of that independence they declare their party was
organized TO secure-they cover MIN with newspaper
abuse assa his personal credit and drive him from
office
Gentlen en- it is not an American party that is
controlling the destinies of Salt Lake, and dealing
out rewards and punishments. 1t is the most ma
lignant and selfish and arrogant crowd of money
hunting bosses that pretended to citizenship.

A LIFE.ANp.oEArH STRUGGLE.

People of Salt Lake it is not the American party
that is struggling for victory in the coming cam
paign. 1t is the BOSSES the who have abandoned
the principle on which that party founded, the
men who have set up political slavery more bitter
merciless. cruel more nearly perfect than
any that you honorable and patriotic men and women
of the American party ever rebeled against
1t is not a movement for the advancement of Salt
Lake. 1t is a life-and-death struggle of the inner
circle for the spois of office. There is no longer
high and noble principle in their fight. 1t is simply
a demand that you help them still further to loot
the city.
In the past four years they have had the spending
of ONE MILLION SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS in bond money-in cash derived from the
sale of the securities which rest on every foot of
property, every stick personally in the city OF
Salt Lake
They have had in addition more than SIX HUN
DRIED THOUSAND DOLLARS year from taxes
and ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
year from licenses of various kinds.
That taken together with the revenue of the
water office and other sources-not forgetting the
license of crime exaced through the police depart
ment-has raised the cash handled by the bosses of
the American party to than five million dollars
in the past four years
They have spent every dollar of it, and have run
the city in debt.
They have overdrawn almost every fund in the
city. They have issued warrants that today
discounted from to 10 per cent because there is
money available in the city treasury with which
TO redeem them-AND THE CITY OFFICIALS
THEMSELVES CANNOT TELL WHAT Is THE
AMOUNT OF THESE DIsHONORED WAR
RANTS.
They have not laid foot of street paving or of
sidewalk, of sewer. of water main, which the
property owner himself has not been compelled to
pay for. And there are unbuilt crossings between
completed sidewalks in every part OF COMMISSIONING
the city has failed to complete the work It's citizens
have been forced to pay for.
They have hired army of employees whose ser
vice the ring in control and not to the city.
They have raised the pay of these hirelngs and con-
santly added their number until every city office
is crowded with incompetent help, and every pay
roll bulges with the of appontees who do not
have Is report excepting to the party bosses.
They have looted the city of millions and they
fhnd it rich. They demand another term the pub
lie rib They try to make you believe they fight
ing for a principle-but they have abandoned the
honest and of the American party. and
are concerned about nothing but the money
they get out of their deceiving you.
The American party is not in the field 1t is the
League Of the Looters demanding your aid.

CAN NOISE CONVINCE your

Most people have read Mark Twain's book The
Gilded Age Most of them remember the character
Of Colonel Mulberry Sellers-the man who had no
more conscience that mink, and more patriotism
than a rabbit: The who forever yelling
Tor the old flag and appropriation"
John 7. Raymond made the part famous in his
acting. People laughed at the bombast and the bun
combe of the nsncere old reprobate who was for
ever trying TO fatten himself at the expense of the
public.
But they didn't permit themselves to be fooled
by him. They knew he didn't care a cent for the
old flag. They knew all he wanted was the appro-
priaton. They saw through the transparent sham of
the typical TOUGHER Of treasures.
Here is a modern reincarnation of the Sellers
character in the bosses of the American partv in
Salt Lake. They wear the symbol of the flag and
boast the name of American. They pretend IN he
working for purity. and their methods rival the nm
speakably monstrous offenses against liberty that
have ade Tammany Hall a stencil in the nostrtIs
of all mankind They declare themselves disciples
freedom in politics, then crush every honest
and capable man who daTes to have a mind Of his
own.
They pirate of their high and holy mission, and
swing the lash of political slave drivers till their
victims either in abject submission or stag
bleeding and ruined-out of the sight of men.
They fill the day with clamor and the night with
noise They hire bands and boosters. They drown
every protest with rbald indecent They are
trying TO stampede the town with uproar.
Can the good people salt Lake be fooled with it
Can they be convinced with noise?
We don't believe it. The day of deceiving the
people with a shout for the flag and shove for the
money has vanished never again to return.

IMPROVEMENT WILL GO ON.

only the purposely blind believe that public i'm
provement in Salt Lake depends on the election Of
the American party candidates.
Only the determinedly uniformed believe that
party is responsible for the progress and improve
ment that has been made
Fair and honest men and women know that the
movement for improving the streets of this city be-
gan in the Republican legislature of 1901. There
enacted the first law which provided for scrip. Be
that time any piece of public Improvement had
be paid for in cash, and at once The burden
so heavy that only in exceptional cases could the
improvement be made No general movement to
beterment of the city could be taken until the peo
pie of Salt Lake were given by the legislature the
same privileges extended to property owners in
eastern cities
Under that law, the people began to prepare for
Improvement. The law amended in 1903 and
again in 1906, and the people, without exception to
party, prepared to vote the great sum of million
dollars in bonds for the public work upon which they
had determined.
AND THERE WAS NO AMERICAN PARTY IN

Louis Kelsey is responsible for whatever is good in
the actual administrative work of public improve
ment in Salt Lake since the American party came
into power

work well If the sidewalks of proper material,

CHANGES PLANNED
IN HAWAIIAN LAWS
Governor Frear Would EncOur-
age HOmesteaders and Dis
courage Speculation

OAKLAND, Nov. Ex-Governor w. F.
Frear of Hawaii arrived today on the
steamer Lurline from the islands and
is at the home of his father, Rev. Wal
ter Frear, 1861 Tenth avenue, East Oak
land, where he will remain until Fri
day, when he will continue on to Wash
ington.
Governor Frear's object in going to
Washington is to urge upon congress
the advisability of making changes in
the laws of the insular territory. Con-
corning these he said:
"At a special session of our legis-
lature, called by me this month, resolu-
tions were unanimously passed request
ing congress to make certain altera-
tions in some of the laws now in force
in the islands. The most important
changes asked have to do with the land
laws We desire these so amended that
they will offer every facility to the gen.
uine homesteader and at the same time
prevent the practice of speculating in
and monopolizing public lands We
want to encourage industrious settlers
to come to the islands, and to do this
we believe that the amendment of the
land laws will prove a great induce
ment"
Governor F'rear while east will invite
Secretary of the Interior Ballinger to
visit the islands. The governor is also
to make an effort toward securing a
Carnegie library for Honolulu.
