Show HERALD ATTACKS CUTLER. Insidious Assault Upon tho Church Candldato in Icicles From Logan. "It was the chilliest reception ever accorded a trio of political speakers In Logan," ls the way the esteemed Herald describes tho visit of Gov. Heber M. Wells, John C. Cutler and Judge Ftlck to the county scat of Cache county. The meeting was held In a cold-Btorage cold-Btorage warehouse, and tho polar-bear candldato of tho church was brought to tho platform In a patent refrigerator refrigera-tor which he has leased for the campaign. cam-paign. Cracked ice and frozen platitudes plati-tudes were distributed during tho proceedings, pro-ceedings, and the audience was foip-plled foip-plled froo with overcoats, ear-muffs and arctic ovcrahoos. Not satisfied with throwing out an impression like the foregoing, tho esteemed es-teemed Herald nays that tho epench of the Governor, advlplng the citizens of Cache valley to obey tho orders of the ApoBtollo Smoot, conveyed to them through their bishops, was received re-ceived like a funeral notice. Of course, this might have been due to the ear- muffs, or the chattering of teeth In tho congealed atmosphere of the hall may have made it impossible for the audience au-dience to hear the sonorous voice of the Governor, or perhaps they had already received Apoatle Smoot's orders from the bishops and the well-meant ad-vico ad-vico of the Governor was superfluous. Anyway, they didn't show any more animation than bumps on a log. Wor, and more of It, the esteemed Herald says that John C. Cutler, the church candidate for Governor, but better bet-ter knovn as the human Iceberg, "Joggled "Jog-gled along through his speech like a man walking on peas." Now, any person per-son who has ever seen a candidate for Governor "Joggling along like a man walking on peas," knows that this Is the deadliest Insult of all. No wonder the editorial "apostolic liar" of the News has been throwing fits ever since be heard of It. Information comes to us on "reliable authority" that the editorial edi-torial "apostolic liar" has been going out of one convulsion into another ever since the Herald printed the horrifying horrify-ing Intelligence. Following this deadly Insult with on effort to givo artistic verslmllltud to the bold nnd daring narrative, the Herald asserts that the speech of John C. Cutler "had evidently been prepared for him," and that "John wasn't familiar fa-miliar with the handwriting." Overlooking Over-looking the Impertinent familiarity of calling the polar-bear attraction John, Just as If some one had been close enough to him to get acquainted without with-out freezing to death, the Herald attempts at-tempts to make one believe that Apostle Apos-tle Smoot wrote the speech and that the citizen from Provo can't write legibly. legi-bly. Such an affront to tho boss Apostle Apos-tle of the church would have called for Instant decapitation at any other time, but now the Herald presoimos upon the enlightened condition of public pub-lic sentiment due to the efforts of the American Party of Utah, and thus escapes es-capes with Its life. The Tribune Is disposed to bellevtf that the Herald has all6wed the partisan parti-san rancor of the campaign to prejudice preju-dice Its views, and that if Senator Smoot wrote Candidate Cutler's 5peech it was written on the typewriter, and that if Candldato Cutler failed to read it with the easy fluency so characteristic character-istic of the properly coached automaton, automa-ton, It was because the light was poor, or frost obscured his glasses, or, with an unexpected gleam of intelligence, he realized that any speech prepared by Apostle Smoot wasnt worth reading, and was quite enough to make anv man Joggle like he was walking on dried peas without shoes. Under the circumstanced he ought to bo excused. We must Insist that It Is extremelv reprehensible of the Herald to dilate upon the frostbitten enthusiasm attendant attend-ant upon the Cutler meetings, and that It really deserves the castlgation that we feel sure it will receive when the editorial edi-torial "apostolic liar" comes out of his flti. In the meantime, may the Lord have mercy upon the Herald's soul If it has any. |
