PEOPLE FAIL
TO HEAR BILL NEWTON
Chairman at American Meeting Gets
Warning and Prevents Speech
Being Made.

A few hundred colored citizens of
Salt Lake, comprising the better class
of the negro population of the city, and
who. incidentally, will vote the Repub-
ncan ticket, were entertained by the
American party at Labor hall last
night. Speaking lasted until nearly
II O'Clock. The feature of the meet
ing was the refusal of the committee
OF cOlored men to allow Bill Newton,
an alleged attorney, to address the
Lawrence Marsh, a negro attorney.
who has been in Salt Lake only a few
weeks, and Archie Brant, another re-
cent addition to the negro colony of
salt Lake, delivered long Orations, that
OF Mr.. Brant being well received. At
about 10 o'clock Mayor ]. s. Bransford,
Bill Newton, H J. Dininny and E. A.
Rogers appeared. Bill Newton, official
representative of the city adIninistra
ton in collecting the blackmail from
the women Of the underworld and act
ing city attorney for Belle London and
Mayor Bransford In procuring and then
defending the inmates of their west
side stOckade, had been advertised as
one of the speakers for the evening,
but the respectable negro men and
women in the gathering had decided
beforehand that, although they would
appreciate any entertainment the Amer
lean party campaign committee decided
to provide, they would not permit a
man OF NeWtOn'S stripe to address them,
especially in view of the fact that
there were women in the audience.
Bill Newton entered the hall on
Mayor BransfOrds right and took his
seat beside the mayor in front of the
audience, apparently anxious to earn
his fee Of $3.50 for delivering the ad-
dress. Mayor BransfOrd was called on
first and the mayor began by saying
that he was no speaker and then kept
his promise in about ten minutes. H.
]. Dininny took up a little more time
in telling what fearful things might
happen if any Mormons were elected
to the city council, and then Bill New
ton prepared to deliver his speech.
Bill started to rise as the city at
torney finished, but before he could be-
gin his speech the chairman announced
that the remainder of the evening
would be taken up with dancing and
refreshments. Just then the orchestra
began a two-step and the mayor and
Bill Newton marched out.
The attempt of the Americans to
hold a smoker at the Building Trades
council headquarters resulted in a fiz-
zle.
A horde of city employees and work
men for p. J. Moran gathered last
night at MOran's warehouse in the Sec
ond precinct and listened to some i'm

RULES ARE VIOLATED
City Recorder Takes Orders and
Makes Unfair Arrangement on
Voting Machine.

In arranging the ballots on the vot-
ing machines the city recorder has viO-
lated all rules of fairness by placing
the American party ticket at che top,
with the Socialist ticket next and the
Republican ticket third. The recog-
nihed order of the tickets should be
that the ticket which pOlled the great
est number of votes at the last preced-
ing election should be first and the
other tickets follow in the order of
the number of votes cast at the last
preceding election.
With This custom observed, the Re
publican ticket would come first and
the American next, with the Democrats
and Socialists following. The arrange
ment of the ticket was a compromise
how ever, between J. B. MoretoE, city
recorder, and J. Z. Darmer, city chair
man for the American party. DarmeI
and some of his gang insisted that the
fusion candidates for the city council
be left off the ticket on account of
alleged technical irregularities and
when Moreton refused to play their
low style of politics he agreed TO tire
plan for placing the American and So
cialist tickets above the Republican
ticket

The War of the Roses. or the struggle

the throne. broke out in England in 1455,
and lasted for thirty years. During this
time many mobiles were killed.
The War of the Roses" that is to begin

like the war in England, centuries ago.
But one of the captains in the Salt Lake
war is a direct descendant of one of the
English generals who participated in the
Old-time war.
The Young Women's Christian associa-
ton, which will carry on the War of the
Roses" here, Will tell the public about 1t
tomorrow. Many of the Salt Lake min
listers will have something to say on the
subject ana will suggest that many mem
bers of their congregations will take up
arms and enter the conflict The Y. w.
c. A. women declare that the war will
be fierce" while it lasts. but they de-
clare that none will be hurt, while on the
other hand many will be very happy.
Each day the Young Women's Christian
association members continue to perfect
their plans for the big war, but they are
still reticent as to it's exact nature. They
have promised, however, to tell the public
all about il tomorrow and will also name
those who will take an active part in the
battles.

sible part of the county and late tonight

preached the house in which the ballots
are held they were covered with sixty
guns in the hands of raiders. Then the
sheriff and his men decided to return TO
Jackson.
Later A II. Hurst was arrested on a
warrant charging him with having fraud
ulently removed or permitted others to
remove the ballots. He was released on
s., 500 bail

REFUTE ISLANDERS
OF KEARNS ORGAN
MurdoCh'S Park City Friends
Point Out Glaring Mis-
statements.
Especial to The Herald-Republican)

Park City, Oct. 29-Residents Of this
place generally object TO the article
which appeared in the American party
organ in salt Lake Thursday morning,
rejecting on the ability of James d.
Murdoch, Republican nominee Tor may
or of Salt Lake, while he was a resi-
dent of this place. Mr.. Murdoch is well
thought of here, and the people OF this
place repudiate the statements made
against him.
The article set forth that Mr., Muir
doch, while master mechanic at the on
lfario mine here, was employed to in
stall the city water system. The work
of installing the system was in charge
iof J. W. Moody The three reservoirs in
Empire canyon, which Mr.. Murdoch is
lcredited with having established, were
placed by Colonel William NJ. Ferry.
At the time they were placed it was
ipossible for all the residents Of the place
to get water, but some people later in
sisted on getting up on the hills, where
ii was impossible to get a water supply.
The statements made concerning Mr..
MurdOch's lack of ability at the time
of the big fire in 1898, when he, as pres
.ident of the council was acting mayor,
in the absence Of Mayor ]. H. Deming,
ARE also without foundation. Mr.. Muir
doch at that time saved the Marsac
mill and prevented the men employed
there from being thrown out of employ
,ment. He received many compliments
on account of his efforts on this Occa-
sion
At the time of the fire Mr.. Murdoch
was heavy stakeholder in a Park City
store. and without a thought of his own
personal interests, Mr.. Murdoch, in di-
lrecting the fight against the fire, in
sisted that the MaTsac mill be protect
ed while his own property was allowed
10 burn. AS long as there is a man in
Park City who remembers that fire, the
excellent work of Mr.. Murdoch on that
occasion will not be forgotten.

me and my children, could expect the
worst" she admitted naively.

witnesses arrested for perjury and that
this is what she meant by her remark.
She admitted having gone 10 court lasI
week with a gun in her satchel but SAID
she carried il for safety
Why She Carries Cum
Il simply couldn't stand seeing Mr..

She said her husband and tough char-
iaacters watched for her, so she carried a
gun. Her husband told her several times

anyway. because he would kill the chill
.dren before he would allow her TO nave
them.
A s Barlow. the deputy sheriff at the
Utah Copper plant at Garfield, who ar

About four months ago, when the

American party councilmen promised
that the sewer begun a few years ago
would be completed within two weeks.

laundry company was arrested for al
lowing water to run in the gutter, and,
in the meantime, no one will hazard a
guess as to when the sewer will be
completed.

Intent on making the taxpayers of
the First precinct earn their victory
over the American party, the city ad-
ministration has picked out a shanty
in the middle Of the block and mac

picking the place was to slip a little
easy money to Abe Little, a city en-
plOye, who will get check for rent for
the polling place.
Men are deserving the American par
