Show POLITICAL I JIGGERETTES I J G Cutler follows I Hammond to -Cache I And Goes Away as I Well Satisfied. I iron. John C. Cutler the most re- I cent candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor came to Lo-I Lo-I (,riiu Tuesday night and lemalncd until Thuisday morning. Mi. Culler was shown mound by Congressman Howell I and other prominent Republleans.and had theoppoitunlty of meeting most of the "lluenees" which mold public I opinion In this vicinity. He oxpiess- L cd himself as being fairly well pleased 'W with the outlook that he is ceitaln I to gather up at least a few crumbs dropped by the other fellows. Mr. Cutler says that ceitaln friends of opposing candidates arc baldly fair in their representations, and was particularly par-ticularly Indignant al a icport circulated circu-lated to the elTect that the A. C. of U. must suffer In case of his nomination nomina-tion and election. TlicA.C. of U. Is lather an acute tiling in Cache valley -and any suggestion that any candidate is not inclined to treat the school fairly fair-ly Is calculated to work to his great injury, hence Mr. Cutler's deslie to get fiom under the charge. In speak-ing speak-ing of the matter he said: "The question of the futuie of the Agricultural College has never come up for consideration and if, perchance, the matter had been broached I must have scouted any suggestion of antagonism antag-onism to an Institution so worthy of the heaity suppoit of the State. 1 have never thought of being antagonistic antagon-istic to it, nor have I Intimated hi anyway any-way anything that could be construed Into an adveise expiesslon. In fact I feel (llffeiently from that." Mr. Cutler visited all the stoics in Cache county twenty-seven years ago as agent of the 1'iovo Woolen Mills, and in speaking of eailler days said: "That year Isold the Wellsvllle Coop Co-op the laigest bill of woolen dress goods that 1 ever sold to a single stoic." This candidate Is identified identi-fied with the sugar Inteiests of this state and of Cache v&lley. Me was one of the first donators to a fund gotten got-ten up to send Ellas Morrison Kast to Investigate the possibilities of sugar in Utah. Mr. Cutler is a clean-cut, nicely appearing ap-pearing gentleman of evident capacity 4iih1 dignity to hold down the guber-uatoilal guber-uatoilal chair in case of nomination and election. From other soiuccs we aiu led to believe that Mr. Cutler has -a rather strong following in Cache county. "Wcllsville Republicans are entirely unanimous In their effort to secure a place on the county ticket," said a gentleman fiom that burg. "They will go to the county convention as a unit with the request for a nominee to the legislatuic. Two names hac been prominently mentioned in this connection con-nection vl. W. II. Maughan .lr. and Dr. Phillips. Both gentlemen have a large following and the local primary fJ will bo asked to declaic its choice. "n A very ill-advised attempt Is being made by certain parties having for Its object the Iwycottlng of Wellsvllle at the coming county convention. Such a course will be suicidal of the best Interests of the party and ought not to bo entertained by Republicans who desire a victory in November." "Why don't you boom Tom Irvine for tho legislature Instead of Commissioner," Commis-sioner," said a prominent Republican tho other day. "So far as tho Senatorial Sena-torial light, or factions Is concerned, 1 do not believe anyone knows where Tom stands, and he Is a man we can elect. Ho Is a stalwart Republican who fought in the good tight long before be-fore these stilpllugs thought of It, and ho Is rightly deserving of some honor. I would like to see Tom on the legislative legis-lative ticket, and I wish you would say that for me. 1 believe many of tho boys will echo the sentiment." Tiik RuruiiLiOAX Is pleased to mention men-tion Mr. Irvine's name In this way, but not having had the opportunity to consult him Is not prepared to say whether he would consider the matter. mat-ter. Mr. Irrlnc has many friends and would ccitalntly go Into tho conven-v conven-v a tlon with a strong backing. $v The latest name mentioned In con- I K nectlon with the Democratic nomination nomina-tion foi governor Is that of W. J. Kerr of Logan, ptesldent of the Agricultural Agricultur-al College. Mi. Kerr is a man of btoad educational attainments and a life-long Demociat. It Is undeistood that he was Mist suggested by Moses Thatcher foi the governoishlp and If Mr. Keir concludes to enter the race, It 's conceded that lie would bestiong-ly bestiong-ly supported in tlieconventlon. -News. Despite the unkind things that have been said or Senator Kearns by those who choose to take his Hist campaign speeches as lellecting the geneial woith of tho man, It must be acknowledged that he has a considerable consider-able following in Cache county. Many who deplore the fact that he Is not able to make a billliant appeaiaucc wlien befoie Hie public, acknowledge that he Is unquestionably doing for Utah all that It is possible for any man to do. Senator Keains's llnati-clal llnati-clal position places him before the bigger men of the nation in a most favoiable light, and he Is sinew tl enough Jo be diplomatic to a degiee. That he has ,i standing at the seat or government Is haidly denied by his enemies, and man fonneily red-eyed against him aie at least much milder In their opposition. |
