Let Magistrates be Elected il
Primary This Year.

A meeting of the County Democratic
Executive Committee has been called
for the first Monday in June for the
purpose of considering a petition ask
ing that magistrates be elected in the
primary this year.
AS the action of the convention in
suggesting that the election of magis-
trates be taken out of the primary was
hasty, the matter not having been con-
sidered by the township clubs, and
was only brought before the conven-
ton incidentally, it is believed that a
majority of the committee will favor
the election of the magistrates in the
primary this year.
Lett be borne in mind that the ac-
ton of the convention was only a sug-
gestioh to the executive committee,
and even that suggestion was made by
a verysmall majority, 80 to so, indica-
ting that the sentiment of the conven-
ton itself was not very decided. 1t is
very probable that had the matter
been discussed by the township clubs,
a majority of the delegates to the con-
ventioar would have been instructed to
oppose such action by the conven-
ton.
Should the committee fail to heed
the suggestion of the county conven-
ton, its action would not violate the
spirit or letter of the constitution. On
the contrary, such action would be en-
tirely consistent with the provisions of
the constitution, which distinctly
states that, t'The County Executive
Committee Of any county shall be at
liberty to order a primary election fol-
Magistrates"
Technically, the county campaign
does not open until the county conven-
ton is held, but in obedience to a long
standing custom, amounting almost to
an unwritten law of the party in this
county, ~aspirants to office launch their
candidacy early in the spring of each
campaign year." In obedience to
this custom, a dozen or more men who
aspired to the Office of magistrate en-.
tered the campaign in good faith, new.
er dreaming that steps would be taken
to deprive themof rights and privileges
that were granted to aspirants to this
office two years ago. These men have
laid plans, which have involved more
or less effort, time and expense, to the
end that the Office be flledby a pr.
mary election, and, now, at the eleventh
hour, to deprive them of this privilege
is, to say the least of it, not dealing
justly with them. 1t is for justice
that The Advertiser pleads.
The executive committee can grant
the petition, and a very reasonable one
it is, without ~subverting any Democrat
ic' principle or party rule. On the con,
trary, to refuse to grantit, in the ligh'
of all the circumstances, will be dis.
tinctly In Democratic.

Decisive action in the movement 10

minont as the matter mas been
brought before the salt Lake CONNER
cial club and referred 10 the WAYS and
means committe Of that organization.
NJ, Il. Burgess, a well known local
engineer and director of the Iron
Mountain, st. George q Grand Canyon
railroad, which proposes 10 build into
the southern country, appeared before
the meeting OF the board OF governors
of the Commercial club held Thursday
afternoon and asked for the support OF
the Commercial club in constructing
the line. Mr.. Burgess presented some
strong arguments in favor OF the build
ing OF the line, and since IL was Inn
possible for the organizers OF the road
TO construct the line without the sup
port Of the Commercial club. lie said
that the field was ono OF the best Ia
the country FOR tho building OF a rail-
road, aud one which would guarantee
the doubling OF the money invested
Inside Of two or three years after the
railroad WAS completed lie said the
proposed line would start from the
main linc Of the salt Lake Route az
Thermo, between Milford and Lund,
and extend southwark To Cedar city
be run, one extending southwesterly 20
St George and eventually to a con-
nection with the Santa Re at King
man Ariz.; the other branch EXTEND
ing through the Virgin oilfelds to the
Kaibab plateau, reaching the heavily
tlmbered districts Of southern Utah
and extending on TO the Grand Canyon
Of the Colorado In Arizona.
Mr.. Burgess said that railroad
through the country named would
bring the tropical and scmi-trupical
products now shipped I'm from Califor-
MIA ana Florida within a short dis
lance Of salt Lake, To be had at con
siderably less cost and OF an Increased
quantity. Fruits OF all kinds. and early
vegetables would be at the city's doors,
and country would be opened up
which for winter resort purposes Is not
eXcelled In the country. The country
through which the road would pass Is
rich In Agricultural. horticultural,
timber and mineral resources, and the
completion OF a railroad would open ny
vast empire which would be Inn
mediately tributary TO salt Lake city
and assist wonderfully I'm building up
the commercial interests Of the state
OF Utah.
