YES, MuLvEY plo-NoTl

Six years ago the Tribune declared that Martin
Mulvey was unfit TO sit in the council that he had
held the office. and had done the city good.
Now 1t declares that while he in the council
he forced the light company give the city better
service at lower price than had been secured be-
fore.
II the latter statement is true, the former state
ment lie. If Martin did what the Tribune OF
1909 says he did, it lied about him in 1863
But 1t didn't E. H. Callister was chairman Of the
committee which had the handling of the city lights
in the period mentioned. Martin Muivey fell
low member of that committee. but it E. H. Cal
lister. collector of internal revenue, who fought
for the rights of the city. and got the reduction in
price and the increase In light
1t is service perfectly recognized by every resi-
dent of Salt Lake at the time and which has not
been forgotten.
Martin Mulvey in 1903 just what the Tribune
says he was-a gambler a saloonkeeper, companion
Of disreputables the friend of the underworld and
unfit for public Office.
And he hasn't changed
The Salt Lake herald-Republican. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1909-1918, 1909-11-01
is MULvEY A GOOD MANI

Startled by the repetition OF its own condemna-
ton of Martin E. Mulvey, the Tribune is la
boring hard to convince the voters that Mulvey is
not the sort of man its paper has declared him
to be.
The Tribune is trying to get Endorsements for Null
vey from men who knew of his work in the city
council.
But the true test is this: Should man who keeps
two lawless saloons, who gambling house,
who is the friend of the underworld-should that
man be elected to any office?
Do the mothers and the fathers of boys want
those boys to understand that a gambler, a friend
of dsreputabIes claim their help to get ele-
walton to Office? Do they want the girls to see
that the parents care nothing for the vocation of
the candidate?
The fact about Martin Mulvey is that he is a
big, poce-protected saloonkeeper; that he is gam
bier; that he is immoral man; that he is the
friend of the underword-and part of it. That
and not any fact connected with his work in the
council, should be the thing to Judge him by when
it comes to weighing his claim to your ballots
man of such life is not properly to be entrusted
with the interests of the people. A with such
habits should not have even a small part in the
management of the city. A of such associates
should be clothed with the honor of public place
by the people in a city of homes.
The Fifth precinct do better than elect Mar
tin Muvey to the council. There are better men
than he. One of them is the Republican ticket
against him. Elect that MAINLAND don't send Martin
Muvey to the council.

BOYS, COME HOME.

All Republicans ought to be in the Republican
party
Some of them have been opposing the Republican
party with their votes They have been voting what
they call the American ticket.
They have. a political party. been out in the
cold. They have been out Of touch with the great
men Of the nation. They have been isolated from
the great political achievements Of the republic.
They have been sidetracked a little Tom Kearns
switch. pulling chestnuts out of the fire for Tom
Kearns, aiding IN the work of vengeance for Tom
Kearns.
They have unintentionally assisted in the organi-
cation of political machine odious that that of
Tammany Hall. They have, without meaning to do
it. helped to build up gang Of political bosses more
powerful in their dictaton than any other that
existed here elsewhere. They have made graft
possible and safe.
Don't work in that company any longer.
Boys, come home.
Women of the Republican party, come home.
Be members Of the party that produced Lincoln
and Grant. and Blaine and Taft.
Come into the company where your presence will
count for something beyond the corporate limits OF
the best of cities Be part of the national in
terest, the nationwide activities.
Take your place where you belong-in the very
front ranks of the Republicans of Utah II there be
things in the party that you don't like, help correct
them by being in the party-not against it, The
bigger the element of your kind the more the SEN
timents of your kind will prevail.
Neither for yourself. for your party, for the
city have you done any good by working in the in
terest of Tom Kearns Rise to the splendid indie
pendence of Republican, citizen of the nation
holder of the right of franchise in the splen-
did republic which the sun has ever shone.

THE FIRST SNOW.

People who went home after the theatre Friday
night remember the big and the fair Skies with
their galaxy Of stars. The air fine, and the night
breeze just added to the perfume that drfted down
from the mountains.
And they woke in the gray OF the dawn with a
shiver at inadequate covering. and the startle of
windows rafting and doors slamming. And they rose
to look out slanting hurrying blanket Of snow.
1t was the first of the season.
It comes at the close of the finest summer and
fall that people from other states have known;
and the most delightful that Utah has seen in
many years.
The has been peculiar; very, very dry until
nearly the middle OF July. and then abnormal fall
rain through the remainder of that month and the
beginning Of September Then there fair weather
again. not seriously disturbed by the usual CON
ference rain In october. Excepting the spatter OF
showers when the President here Liberty park
every public assembly has been favored with fair
weather.
The days have been so beautiful, the nights have
been bamy and serene the whole earth has seemed
so kindly and good. that the year nineteen-nine
will be graciously remembered And the first snow
simply accentuates the glory of the blessings have
enjoyed.

THE COUNCIL Is sAFE-NoW FOR
THE MAYOR,

There is doubt the Republican candidates
for the counc-the the Republican fusion
ucket-will be elected tomorrow.
The council will not be American after the first
of next January.
Give the council mayor in accord with it.
Elect James D. Murdoch. and let have city gov
united devoted to the best interests OF Salt
Lake strong for Improvement and equally strong
against graft
The council is safe. Now get Murdoch majority.
The fight is going right. The tide is all in favor
of the Murdoch ticket-with all the candidates upon
it. Tell that to your friends. Assure them that
only the activity of the voters is necessary to make
the city government from hate, free from
intolerance free from graft-and the fairest. the
most progressive. the happiest city in the world.
You have saved the council. Now make the vic
tory complete. Give your vote and your voice TO

officers badge. McWhirter asked him
IL the man were IN officer. and Sheets
said "No." The pretended policeman,
assisted by four others, had robbed Me-
Whittier of ten Thousand dollars in aash
an hour before. Sheets said he would
try and get some of the money back
again, but did not arrest the bogus
poIiceman-yvhO was net afraid in the
office OF the chief.
Sheets went into the hall, and re-
turned with the statement that he could
get seven hundred and fifty dollars.
McWhiFter protested. and the chief
went out again, and came back with a
thousand dollars. He gave that to sIe-
Whirter and sent him out of town. The
thieves resumed their protected In
dustfy. One of them Is now serving a
sentence I'm the penitentiary for his
part in tie transaction.
George Sheets ia today chief of de-
tectives and the actual head of the
police department OF salt Lake.
A vote for Bransford is a vote for
the stockade, for Mulvey. for Sheets.
Go into the booth tomorrow, and pull
the third lever from the top. That is
the Republican lever. II means that
you don't want the stockade. That
, means you don't want men of Martin
Mulveys stamp in the council. That
means that you don't want any more

in bunko games, and his ever-present
protection of crime.

SOLDIERS AND STUDENTS AT FOOTBALL.

We confess to a sensation of surprise at the re-
suit of the soIdierstudent game OF football
urday. 1t seemed certain the soldiers would win.
They didn't, and they didn't really come close.
But believe they have the making of much
more formidable team than the result of that first
game would indicate. Surely the superior Drawn of
the soldiers should count for something They
sblebodied fellows and out of the number at the
fort amazingly strong team certainly can be re-
cruited. They have the benefit of teaching by officers
who have played on the famous elevens of West
Point. They have, indeed, the advantage Of those
officers going into the game with them and plungng
with all the vigor Of the old military academy days

boys of the universty-some of them freshmen, and

BLAMING THE THIRD WARD.

People Of the Third municipal ward will hardly
relish that declaration of the Kearns gang that they
have themselves retarded" work on the west side
sewer, and other public improvements for that
ton of the city.
There is peculiar brand OF cussedness in the
Kearns gang stopping all that west side work. holding
it up for years stripping the funds for the fatten
ing of themselves, pouring money into the pockets
of favored contractors, patching before it is
competed-and then the residents of the dis
trct that they themselves have been retardng" the
work.
We shall be greatly surprised if the people of the
Third ward do not rebuke that insolence with their
votes next Tuesday.
They were promised the more than year
ago. It is not yet finished 1t has cost twice the
promised price. and is bunge from beginning to end.
And the long-suffering residents slapped in the
face with statement that they have retarded
the work. Let them that outrage at the polls

VOTE FOR THE NEW SCHOOL
HOUSE,

1t has been decided by the school
board to ask the people for half a mil
lion dollars, to be secured by the issue
and sale of bonds. the money to be ex-
pended in the erection Of new High
school building.
This is one of the noblest of move
ments. It is in the direction of need
ed work. Salt Lake requires another
High school building, to be erected on
the east side of Main street. With the
money asked-and it's granting is one OF
the things confidently to be expected
the city will have the best High schoo
of the entire mountain country.
The growth of the city demands it
The needs of the pupils makes 1t neces-
sary. And the future of the people oil
Utah warrants the expenditure.
No matter what may be the view Of
men and women IN reference to the city
campaign, every friend of the greai
cause of education will support tbs
board In it's move for new High
school.

HE MUST TAKE HIS MEDICINE.

The Herald-Republican has made a
clean campaign.
If it has uttered unpleasant words,
they are the words of the opposing
forces themseIven. We could not say so
harsh thing of Mr.. Bransford as he has
said of himself. He has claimed to be the
father of the stockade: that he used the
power of his official position to estab-
fish that iniquity, and to drive there
the white slaves Of the city. No power
possessed by any enemy of Mr.. Brans-
ford-if he had an enemy-could say a
harder thing Of him than that.
And If he has been blamed for hold
ing George Sheets in office. It is his
own fault. He should have driven
George Sheets from Office long ago.
And nothing that we have said of
Martin Mulvey is so cruel as the state
ments the Tribune itself made of him
and that concerning a time when he
had been in the council.
Mayor Bransford advocates the cleo
ton of Mulvey, and evidently indorses
George Sheets.
We very much dislike to seem unkind
to him. But he will have to take his
medicine. He claimed to be the father
of the stockade. and We violate no rule
of justice when we quote his own
words.
He indorses George Sheets. and we
have a perfect right to show how unlt
is that man for any mayors indorse-
ment.
He advocates Mulvey, and we will
have to show how improper is support
of Mulvey by any man-mayor or other.
Gentlemen who make such mistakes
as Mr.. Bransford has made. and who
go so wrong as Mulvey and Sheets have
gone, should not complain when their
own records are pulled against them
