and emolument emolu-ment I have been pondering over in my mind the advisability of the election elec-tion of George Q Cannon as senator from this new state Inasmuch as a Republican must fill the position I believe I be-lieve he is a good a man as can be found in the Republican ranks but should he be elected how is i possible I for him to accept Did he not censure the Hons Moses Thatcher and B H Roberts two better men for their i respective offices cannot be found inside the vales of Utah for accepting I the nominations one of them to fill the very position to which he now aspires as-pires In case he should be the chosen one to whom will he apply for permission sion Should President Woodruff and Joseph F give him permission what conclusions will the people draw I I would be the general impression that I It w either prejudice against the I Democratic nominees or favoritism for nomnees I the Republican candidate True Sir Cannons friends who are many will I sustain him and claim all is fair while the friends of Moses Thatcher and B H Roberts and they are legion will no doubt look at it in altogether a different light I the Democratic i I nominees were as proclaimed by George Q Cannon Joseph F Smith I I and others hirelings of the church I and could not be spared how much more impossible would i be to spare George Q In my opinon should he accept I will create such a controversy I contro-versy and difference of opinion that it will finally result In a serious split In the church We sicerely hope such results will not follow but there are many who feel that great injustice was done Messrs Thatcher and Roberts Rob-erts and any such steps taken by one of the main censurers of those gentle men will be attributed by many as a cut and dried job and cause contention conten-tion strife and likely a division of many from the church Tomorrow if the programme is carried car-ried out all the school children of Kamas and North Kamas schools will be furnished a free sleigh ride the whole to be led by the Kamas Brass band Appropriate speeches will be made after the ride and in the evening I a grand combination inaugural and I leap year bal will he held in the
