Show The Tribune, it is stated on good authority au-thority is contemplating going over to tho Democratic party. It Is a question whether it would bo a desirable acquisition acqui-sition or not, but If the paper Inlsts on becoming an advocate of tho Democracy Democra-cy what can the poor democracy do? The schemo is a creation of the brain of Furious J. Cannon, who has flattered flat-tered and "conned" Mr. Kearns to tho extent that tho latter thinks ho might make ' himself solid with tho democrats demo-crats for election to tho United States senate to succeed Senator Smoot, but Thomas probably reckons without his host. In caso tho legislature which will choose the noxt United States senator is democratic, It is thought by a good many peoplo who ought to know that Simon Bamberger would bo strictly "in It." & J Tho dally newspapers announced tho other day that Parley P. Christensen would not bo a candidate for Cougroas this year. Well, who ever said he would? The Kearns Idea Is that In consideration consider-ation of his throwing his "American" party to tho democratic party ho could mako a bargain with tho democrats whereby ho would bo sent to tho senate. sen-ate. Mr. E. A. Blunck, tho founder and principal owner of tho Inter-Mountain Republican has sold out his Interest in that paper and retired from tho management. man-agement. Mr. Blunk's stock was purchased by local peoplo of whom Mr. O. J. Salisbury Salis-bury Is credited with uoing tho principal' princi-pal' investor On Juno 1, Mr. Malcolm McAllister took tho position of business manager of tho Republican succeeding Mr. Blunck in that part of tho duties and responsibilities of tho paper. Mr. Blunck was very persevering persever-ing nnd tenncious in carrying out his plan to establish n Republican dally paper in this city and it is only fair to say ho has given tho public a good clean newspaper, that gives all tho news that's fit to print, stands on a high plain and in many respects is tho best paper and tho only rcliablo dally paper in this city. The way tho other dailies havo treated Mr. Blunck and tho Republican is an example of their narrowness nar-rowness and animosity, and at the samo time a sourco of amusement to thoso on tho Inside. Mr. Blunck did good work with his paper and caused It to cut into tho field of tho other dallies. That's why they don't like it. Tho Republican has nearly doublo tho number of subscribers of tho Tribuno or Herald. Tho Tribuno has left but a shade ovor 4,000 subscribers besides 2,000 it buncoed tho eastern women's clubs of which Mrs. Schoff is the head, Into subscribing for for a period of three years and which aro distributed In the east for tho solo purpose of kocking Utah. Mr. Blunck It is understood un-derstood will go to his former homo in New York state. Ho Is a newspaper man of ability and carries with him tho best wishes of all thoso who wore associated with him on tho Inter-Mountain Republican ann also of a largo number of citizens who mado his acquaintance slnco he camo to Salt Lake. There is n growing sentiment among tho rank nnd file of thoso opposed to tho "American" party for a fusion to prevent tho county being looted by the "American" grafters as tho city is bo-Ing. bo-Ing. Congressman Howoll Is a worker. Slnco ho has been in congress ho has demonstrated that fact In a good many Instances. His latest achievement achieve-ment is tho granting by congress tho use of surplus water to tho settlers on tho former Uintah reservation, and tho appropriation by tho government of $GOO,000 for Irrigation work in that locality. While Senators Smoot and Sutherland co-operated with Mr. Howoll in obtaining the result that was obtained, Mr. Howoll originated the plan and took tho initiative in putting It through. |
