THE SAME OLD THING MASQUERADING
UNDER A NEW HEAD.

After weeks spent in fruitless search for
candidates who would be willing TO permit their
names to 20 on a bull moose ticket, Boss Balm
ger and big Stick" Stevenson were forced to-
petition ticket in the field for city offices.
On last Friday evening cdll went forth from
the county treasurers office that I'VE must get
busy and get n ticket in the field or II would be
too late" A few responded and the following
morning Ballinger and Stevenson, with the as
sistance of lobe fman Friday, began operations.
All day Saturday the hum of the Maxwell car
could be heard making the rounds for sufficient
signatures TO petition for citizens ticket with
III. s. Robinett for mayor; Frank Crosse, George
Fausett. John Redd and o. T. Harmon for coun-
cilmen; Matt Gilmour for recorder, and Samuel
Williams for treasurer.
To the old timers of Price this is very familiar
since great many of them know that Ballinger
can never fly his colors under the same name
more than once. People realize that with him in
office he must be the big boss or things don't
CO. Many will remember years ago when he was
deposed as ruler Of Carbon county, his last stand
was made mt Price, and his attitude Is still fresh
i'm the memory of not few, but for the benefit
of newcomers The Sun calls your attention TO the
fact that II one Of rule o. ruin, and any time
he can't be boss he won't work.
This remark woke the people up and they pro-
ceeded 10 snow Ballinger under so deep that he
forgot TO come 10 light until the election of the
bull moose commissioners, who in order 10 make
room for him forced the regularly elected treas
urer 10 resign and forthwith appointed the gen.
tleman TO the office of treasurer.
Stevenson. the big boss of the county school
board. which under the law Is supposed 10 be
non-partisan, has secured an insurance agency
In Matt Gilmour's name. IL Is understood all In
surance Is 10 go TO Gilmour
These gentlemen above mentioned as sponsors
for this movement dared not come out under
their old colors They realized that II was use
less TO attempt 10 thrust on the people OF Price
another bull moose proposition. And leave IL 10
Balnger for cunning. He can make the dope for
the other fellows 10 shoot, while he hides behind
them and the skirts Of the women who go from
house 10 house making promises 10 the good
ladies of Price, while the men make promises Ia
another class of n different nature.
We know that the people Of Price will not be
fooled again in voting for this class Of men. We
have nothing against the candidates on this
ticket, but II is the influence behind them that
makes them dangerous men 10 be elected TO any
office.
Have the women of Price forgotten the cam.
pagn of last year. when certain speakers fol
the bull moosers. bringing their fists down or
the table, said: Elect our ticket and the lid will
go on in Price so tight that II never again will b.
raised" In the face of this these same parte:
promised others conditions will remain as they
are. You have nothing TO fear from our crowd
All we after Is Braffet We are satisfied with
conditions, but this man must CO.
Fortunately however, they overlooked the fac
that their candidate for sheriff was honest. anC
figured that when the time came he would ge
into line. But having failed 10 take him int
their confidence before election as 10 the prom
Uses made on the side, they ran UP against rocl
wall when they went TO him with proposition
TO open things up. We admire Sheriff Henry
He is giving the people what they thought the,
were voting for, and refuses 10 be stultified by
the bunch now in office in this county.
