BILLS ARE AIMED
At AMERICANS

Candidates Chance to

Three senate Eills were passed in the
house yesterday whose aim is to clip the
wings of the American party in that

be placed on other tickets; neither need

all tickets If they decline to stand for
their nomination on ticket which is OBJ

some Of them. at least. and until that bill
comes from the senate the measures
should be held in suspension The effort
failed.
Two Of the bills provide that the name
Of a candidate shall not be placed upon
any ticket unless ne shall have been nom
mated By a regularly organized and es-
tablished political party. save that his
name NAV be placed on the ballot BY pc
tition. But no petition shall lie effectively

candidate on a ticket when he has already
been nominated on regular ticket
The aim Of the third bill is the solution
Of a question which arose last fall. The
candidates for Republican electors were
nominated by petition on the Taft-LiberaL
They declined to accept the nomination
made by the American party on these
tickets and resigned as candidates on that
particular ticket. Yet they maintained
that they were entitled to run on the party
ticket which was nominated in a regularly
organized convention. but repudiated the
nomination made by the politicians who
sought to put them on the ballot by petit
ton. The supreme court sustained their
contention
There is no inhibition against the nom
ination by petition Of any candidate, but
the name shall not appear more than once
on the ballot.

two hours and then some. the sum of s35
600 was appropriated for the entertainment
Of The Grand Army Of the Republic next
August Nearly everybody made a speech.
Those who were in favor of amending the
senate bill by making the amount s25000
instead of $4,000, told their fellow mem
bers how very much they loved the old
veterans, but they thought that S2j 900
worth Of appreciation would be plenty,
especially in view of the fact that a good
many bridges were needed, to say nothing
about roads in nearly every county in the
state.
Those who favored the bill in it's original
form held, c0mpositely, that the people
Of Utah, through their governor: the peo-
pie of Salt Lake county through their
commissioners, and the people Of the city
through their mayor had invited the old
soldiers. II state, county and city are too
poor TO make their bluff good" what
did they invite them for2 Hospitality that
is grudingly extended is no hospitality at
all they said.
When the vote was finally taken the
measure for the S35. 600 appropriation was
passed. the record showing that no one
