Show MAY BENFER, THE SOCIALIST, BE MOSf SUCCESSFUL IN UNLOADING. More than two years ago one C. H. Stevenson, then ns now chnirman of the "bull moose" organization organi-zation in Carbon county, Price nnd the Twelfth senatorial district, threatened the owners of Eastern Utah Advocate that if they did not espouse es-pouse the progressive cause he nnd his party proposed to have o newspaper of their own that would. Stevenson's proposal being ignored, his nnd his party's next successful move was to purchase pur-chase Bcnfcr, the socialist, with the promise of "bull moose" and democratic pntronno, which brought to them such support ns the Carbon County News could give. Things went on smoothly for a time, but it being be-ing difficult to work n socinlist in democratic nnd "bull mooso" harness, n change is now desired, de-sired, nnd Stevenson nnd his political hermaphrodites hermaphro-dites have evidently nriivctl nt the conclusion that it is cheaper to buy out Bcnfcr, the socialist, nnd be rid of him than to hnvc things go ns they are. Hence, the option on the plnnt of the News-Advocate News-Advocate nnd the effort to orgnnizc a stock company to tnko over the concern. Up to dntc but one sucker Is known to hnvc been caught. This is Joseph Bnrboglio, member of the county consolidated school board, saloon-ist, saloon-ist, bnnkcr and owner of Helper's Times, who hns confided to friends that he has put a hundred dollars into the News-Advocate, but with tho expectation of losing the hundred. Persons who were duped n few years ago in the original Carbon Car-bon County News (corporation), nnd there were-many were-many of them, have not forgotten their experience experi-ence nnd nre not cutting "cross corners" to buy News-Advocntc stock. In the meantime, Bcnfcr is so sure of unload; ing his junk on to the proposed stock company thnt ho is beginning to inquire nbout locations fdr n newspaper in Idaho nnd clsowherc. Tho Sun, nlwnys wishing members of the fraternity the best that is coming to any of them, trusts Bcnfcr will be successful in his snlc. Any man that Is able to put up with a crowd such as the local "bull mooscrs" nnd democrats that dominate Bcnfcr Is surely entitled to tho best that may come from if successful unloading of n distasteful business nnd political alliance. If tho crowd that proposes purchasing tho News-Advocate News-Advocate Is nblc to hold together six months it will be n surprise to thoso who ought to know them best. |
