Wallace is mcddcsomc rcformcr, who,
like Frank B. Stephens. believes that
there IS no government on earth guile
Us good rs they have planned hut have
not tried. And If he were elected
mayor he would attempt to work his
fool ideas into law and douhtlessly
would involve Salt Lake in 4 mess
that il would take years before the
city could discntanglc itself,
Wallace dreams by night and medi-
tatcs 10y day on some fool system of
government that would bo as imprac-
ticable rs arc a lot of the schemes of
the Socialists
In fact, it, is doubtful which would

with his reform schemes, or Murdoch
with his dry.rOt ideas. Both OF these
men ought moi 10 receive the vote OF

ball and Knight, the devil would be
to pay for the next two years.
1t is a serious matter for Salt Lake
City, and especially serious because OF
the fact that I'm almost united effort
is being made by the mossbacls 10
bring about the election of these melt
The more people discuss the candi,
dacy of Martin MuIvcy and the record
ne made while in the council, the more
friends arc enlisted IN Mulvcy's ranks.
1t was Martin MuIvey, who, while
trying TO beat down the price of street
lighting eight or ten years ago, forced
the city in darkness for two weeks I'M,
til the old light company came 10 time
The price charged for electric light
then was Sl2 n month. MuNcy be
licvcd that that was holdup. He
would not stand for renewal of the
contract, and the company put out all
Of the lights, with the expectation OF
gaining public sentiment against the
light committee in forcing Il renewal.
For two weeks the people went about
the streets of Salt Lake carrying Ian
terms and wadiug through the mud and
slush of the. carly spring.
But the people stood by Mulvcy and
tho company had TO come to time. The
price was cut from Sl2 to $6 per month
and the city soon cot double the nam
Der of lights at the price that it had
been paying for very inadequate ser
vice. An attempt was made TO brlbc
Mulvcy into submission, but, rs he has
always done. he stood for the public s
welfare and won a great victory.
In securing water for the Cotton
wood conduit Mulvcy is credited by
knowing ones with having saved the
city from $4,000 TO 100000. This
was during his term rs councilman in
l905.07. No man can point TO a single
misstcp of his as an official And the
people of the Fifth ward who know
him best arc as certain TO rc-clcct him
next Tuesday as they arc 10 rcclcct
John Bransford for the record he also
has made.
There is not Il man in Salt Lake
more generous according 10 his means
than is Ed O'Donncl He always has
his hand in his pocket helping those
less fortunate than himself, In sor-
row s bitter hours, he has gone 10 the
rescue of hundreds of citizens of Salt
Lake at great sacrifice 10 his own
best interests. He is the soul of per
sonal integrity. and yet, some of those
whom he had aided, arc joining in an
o .
by installing in the place he has filled
during the past two years man named
Eckman. who doubticsslv received his
nomination because il was known that
he would stand in with the church poll
ticlanS against the progress of the
CITY
Ed @ Donucll ought TO be reelected
by an overwhelming vote. His record
is absolutely clear and nc is in every
sense worthy.
Not many persons know that John
=. Morelon is local representative of
the Equitable Life Assurance society,
which is planning to invest hundreds of
thousands OF dollars in Utah Sccuri-
ties during the next few years. This
decision IS said 10 have been arrived
at by a personal visit of the company S
president some time ago. At this time
he was convinced that Salt Lake had
a great future and that loans made on
Salt Lake real estate and buildings
would be a safe investment. so long as
the cnterprising men and women have
charge of the city's affairs.
1T would be worth 4 great deal 10
the business interests of Salt Lake ii
the Equitable people could bc given the
assurance that the progrcSsiVcs had not
only triumphed at the polls, but had
cast vote of confidence for their local
representative,
a bctter official more painstaking
and careful man never held Office than
John g. Moreton He has almost
brought the administration of the re-
corder Office 10 a state Of perfection.
Aud' his connection with the city for
the past four years az recorder ospc-
Gladly fits him for the important dulics
as n member of the council
Elections are ofttimcs lost because
OF The stay.at-homc vote-thc voter who
believes that his party is sufficiently
strong TO succeed without his or her
help. II is feared that there arc sew
cral hundreds of Americans who feel
this way this year. But all of these
should take the fact into consideration
thar the couDcilmanic campaign is AN
unusually close ono, owing TO thc fusion
Of the church Republicans with the
church. Democrats. Every vote should
be pollcd. There arc none to lose. III
is not worth while 10 rc-clcct John
Brausford and pcrmit Il council To he
elected tllat ia not in harmony with
him.
