Show y WHIPPED TO ro A ST. NI STANDSTILL Have you ou ever over seen a paper more completely whipped than the Tribune hn has been In n the present campaign How utterly Impoverished are the makers of that sheet They have tried r to con conduct a campaign hn on the capital of or baseless accusation and slander af as n c their thell active force torce and on championing crime as ns their doren defensive lve tactics They have been en driven from both positions The They have havo been made madek t tt to o k shift their ground with er e every recurring day The They have been forced to confess confess con con- fess fE by h silence that their assertions were untrue The They have not ma made o good their threats Thc They have declared th they would reveal al astonishing Ir- Ir r- r regularities In jn the conduct of county affairs and havo have been compelled to quit h with no more proof than than that tho sheriffs sheriff's s ounce office lo lost t ono one dollar and twenty cents and cents and that cast case had to r rest st on the proviso that two or three or-three three of the were were believed bell n to be bo fictitious Utah people are arc er very much like ever every other people They Thy are fair air an and honest hone with honest wIth t with the few exceptions exception that the Tribune mistakenly believes belie stood a as representatives representativE's of or the whole And the Utah people have not approved of the Tribunes Tribune's campaign They have found foun tho the Tribune was a n conscienceless conscience conscience- less le slanderer and a n. limitless liar Da Day after aCter day brought to the tho renders readers of If that paper statements which succeeding days das proved pro untrue And when the Tribune finally announced announce In five column advertisements ad on its front page that It would blow the county counts I out of or water with the thun thunder er t of f Its great grat guns of or revelation and then failed to keep k ep the th pledge pl dge the patience patIence patience pat pat- of or the people was exhausted And the Tribune driven distracted d has hits Jumped from one position to another with the panic of or a 11 crowd and the nervousness s of or n a criminal trappe trapped Not a vestige of or Its plan has been preserved r r Ed Not a promise has b been lm kept Not a threat hn has been ma made e good And It has scuttled through the whole gamut of or It Its discarded ed Issues Issue has threshed ag again ln Its ol old an and must musty straw an and stands helpless before a people who have ha learned to doubt everything ever It says MY to discredit Its Us every e 1 statement 4 One of or the most illustrative of the Tribunes Tribune's moves was the Ule challenge of Tom K Kearns to a joint debate with Senator Smoot A bolder bid for or a better hotter recognition has never yet been made It was ba based etl on a statement attributed to lo Senator Sutherland Sutherland-a nl a statement Senator Sutherland never made And wh when n that that challenge was tossed aside scornfully b by tho the senior senator the Tribune sought to drag from the shout hout of derision some echo of ofa n a reply b by declaring that an apostle of or the tho Mormon m church had the t publication office of that paper r and asked tl on what whal terms the Tribune would cease Its warfare on th the Mormon formon people z Jf If the Tribune ne ha had never been caught In a lie lie that statement would woul to not have been believed Even with a record for veracity the Tribune could coul 1 not Wel ot have made that stor story bell believed ve ved veYe We Ye have ha not tal taken en the care of or the twelve a apostles But we assume a rume that they the are men of or some sense or they the could coul 11 not t hh have attained position In an any org organization 1 rell religious or or r other And 4 a assuming that we do not believe e that any apostle representative of or the Mormon Mormon Mor Mor- mon f church ever approached the Tribune and neither do the people T t. t Is the less Ihs like likely I because the Tribune Is notoriously treacherous It has haq nothing to deliver dell but abuse It could not make terms and keepIt keep them It Is depraved An Any one seeking It would woul go with the certainty certainly that nothing r. r but Insult would be offered him and that no promise of or fair tall dealing would o id be kept A visit Isit to that office b by nn any em emissary Issar of or the church w would uld bo bo be line t the very ven last thing Imaginable lI However we er there therea Is a one simple wa way for the tho Tribune to save some ome semblance sem sem- blance lof of credit from the wreck Its detestable cour course e has caused Let It name the apostle who made the visit who begged for tor terms from the Tri Tri- bune It would woul be interesting though Interesting though not nol particularly Important Important for for the ther public r to know if Ir there are two men In the state as big In la
