Show UNTRUTH u NOT NOT ERROR It is a pleasure to note that the I Tribune Is a a. good deal troubled by The IheI I Republicans Republican's reproduction of oC editorial comment oi on the case cage of Senator Smoot The sentiment o of the Iho country at nt large larg-e is not at all what the Tribune has been telling Us Its readers and tho J publication of or comment comment In favor of or the Utah senator and against the contention contention contention conten conten- tion for his unseating particularly when that comment Is found in the tho leading papers o of the country has been disturbing to the Utah contingent ent devoted de lle- voted to untruth So that paper has sought to neutralize the thc effect of th the facts In the case so and to that end has hag been culling cullins- from a a very cr large larse ex exchange f ex-f change list the little Smoot anti-Smoot sentiment sentiment senti sent ment meat It can find An And 4 the Tribune has been commenting commenting- on the clippings as they arc are foun found In the course of or an editorial yesterday that paper said gald The intelligent judgment jug of oC the country is unquestionably an and almost unanimously against Mr irr Smoot And the urging of or and tho ho contention in favor of common anti and Irrelevant platitudes cannot possibly help him The Intelligent ent judgment of the by bythe bythe bythe country Is vastly misrepresented the Tribune and there Is no foundation ion tion In fact for the statement it makes to its readers The TIie Intelligent judgment jug judg ment of the countr country is opposed to unseating unseating unseating un un- un- un seating Senator Smoot Is opposed to the puling puling- effort to hang hang- up the nomination nom nom- of or Mr Booth Is opposed to the whole Tribune
