THE COUNTY TICKET.

wv \ 4lAnILls
II there ever was a ticket which de-
served the support or every Repubi-
can in Salt Lake county. and OF all ths
people in Salt Lake county. irrespec-
tive OF their party afiliRtions il is the
ticket named by the Salt Lake county
convention yesterday. Every candi-
didate on the ticket is the free
choice OF the delegates in the conven-
ton. II may be taken as the free ex-
preston OF the Republican voters OF
the county. AS their free expression,
II is up 10 the Republican voters or the
eou~ =. and the party workers. TO get
out 'eet tho ticket.
1t ca. . said withou, fear OF oon-
tradictioh. that every delegate in the
convention voted his personal choice
when it came to a question OF candi-
dates. There were rumors OF states for
several days before the convention, but
they did Tot materialize IN the pro-
ceedings. II was plain from the outset
that the voters OF salt Lake county
with Republican amliations we're
there to see that they had a free and
open voice, and there was no attempt
anywhere 10 prevent them from work
ing their will
The manner in which the Repubn-
can county convention was handled
yesterday is in strong contrast 70 the
conventions Of the two opposing par
ties. and especially to that OF the party
which takes the name OF American"
but which Is un-American in every one
Of its principles. Instead of an adj
Visory committee. which named the
ticket IN advance and forced it upon
the delegates. as did the American
party. there was a lively contest yes
terday. and there was full and COM
plete opportunity for every delegate TO
rise on the floor OF the convention and
name any man in the county for any
Office in the convention.
The Republican county COMMITTEES
had no advisory committee and no
steering committee. The position of
Fred c. Loofbourow as presiding Of
dcer OF the convention was always
fair. No delegate was denied the
floor. AS a free and open meeting Of
the representatives Of every Republic
can in salt Lake county. Chairman
Loofbourow permitted the widest lati-
tude. There was no man in the con-
vention who wanted 10 be heard that
was not given the chance. Uniformly
fair and courteous, Mr.. Loofbourow
only added to a reputation long ago
establighed in his acts as chairman of
the convention yesterday.
The active contests at the primaries
on Friday night foreshadOwed the
earnest interest and the careful work
Of the convention yesterday. Every
Republican voter in the county feels
that the election on November Will
be merely ratification OF the action
OF the convention yesterday. Conse-
quentIy. the fight was made at the pri-
maries last Friday night. The contests
were more vigorous than they had
been for years. the interest taken was
more widespread than it had been for
a decade, and the result was a more
energetic and active convention than
there has been for years.
That every candidate nominated
yesterday will receive the earnest sup
port OF every Republican in the coun-
t. goes without saying. The defeated
candidates yesterday FASTENED 10 get
into the hand wagon. They are all
loyal Republicans. and they will be
round working loyalty for the ticket
II is a strong ticket, and II will be
elected on November 8.
