Show FRANK J SCORED REPUBLICANS SAY HE BROKE FAITH WITH GOODWIN Claim That After Getting the Tribunes Trib-unes Support Ho Switched to BroTrn Promised thc Long Term For His Action HOTT the Deal Was Effected and Who Did I There are great splotches of gore on Republican moon I appears that within the last two days several members of the grand old aggregation have been doing some investigating with a view of ascertaining ascertain-ing how the election of Arthur Brown was accomplished Late yesterday afternoon the plot was discovered and now all that remains to be accomplished accom-plished is to denounce Frank J Cannon as a traitor to his country his party and his friends Whether this will be done or not depends de-pends in a measure upon the paper which Is not an organ simply a calliope cal-liope because it was the sufferer I will be remembered that just before be-fore the battle the Tribune editorially I urged the election of Cannon the younger a against the selection of Cannon the elder In stirring tones the Tribune sounded the rally by fours for the salvation of the party a against the defeat which would fol which be low the cavalry charge was ing made by the enemy Of course every Republican in Utah knew that an ulterior motive prompted this display dis-play of solicitude for the welfare of the aggregation Every Republican realized real-ized when this was done that Frank J Cannon and Judge Goodwin were a team This state of affairs was made known four days before the caucus I was feared by Arthur Brown on the eventful event-ful pvpninfr Tvhpn hp rpppivpfl the votes of the twentyfour members in n caucus He dreaded what was to follow the election of Cannon for he believed that an adjournment would be taken and Goodwin stock would rise on the following fol-lowing day He said so at the time Browns hope was to keep Goodwin out of the caucus This done he could work enough Bennett votes for his safety with the arrangements he had made with Cannon through the efforts of Allison I appears that Cannon was playing a double game Thoroughly Thorough-ly alarmed by the gains his father was making he determined to make a big bluff at the party and is alleged to have formed a coalition with Goodwin by which he received the support of the paper I kept its agreement but from the results achieved he did not Allison to whom Brown owes his election had ample opportunity for working a deep scheme While Cannon Can-non remained in the background he did the work One by one the Good win men were approached and pledged pledg-ed if their man did not receive enough votes on the first ballot to give him a fighting chance to switch to Brown The ice broken in this way the next step was to keep Goodwin out of the > I race entirely Cannon said nothing but kept quiet Allison did all the work He succeeded Cannons friends do not care a snap about Goodwin They are satisfied now their man has been chosen But there are a whole lot1 of kickers among those who voted for Brown under false pretenses I will be remembered this paper stated that miny of them voted for Brown and Bennett believing that 32 votes were necessary to elect with a view of giving each a complimentary complimen-tary ballot adjourning and looking I around to see where they were at Cannon was voted for by acclamation acclama-tion not because those who voted for 1 him loved Caesar less but that they loved Rome more None were more surprised at the result than these selfsame self-same men When they left the hall they were dazed as they were unaware un-aware of what they had done As stated Cannons men did not care a cent for Godwin Neither did the others Goodwin was never in the fight Browns apprehensions were groundless Had the caucus adjourned adjourn-ed it would have been neither Bennett Ben-nett or Goodwin either who would have grown But under the agreement Cannons men should have worked for the Tribunes Trib-unes candidate In boosting for Brown they broke faith All this trouble is causing heart I burnings What the result will be no man can tell at present There were several war talks yesterday and I the question of reconvening the caucus cau-cus was discussed I appears that when the 42 adjourned they did not adjourn sine die and a call can be issued is-sued at any time Still it is not at all likely the caucus cau-cus will reconvene unless the Tribune sounds the tocsin In that event there would be skurrying among enough to make the action of Tuesdays meeting nil Whether this will be done the next few days will determine I is understood that Brown has agreed with Cannon that he shall have the long term which means that Brown will be senator eight months Then he can come back and work allover all-over again al While the two will have to draw lots in the presence of the sergeantatarms such matters are easily arranged Besides Be-sides those who are in a position to speak by the card say this was the bargain between the two that Cannon Can-non should have the long term for his support of Brown And this is the way the matter stands Only the future can tell what will result tel |
