Show 'THOMAS NUT IN IT." Tho Herald gloats over the fact that Governor Thomas is not included in tho board created by a late congressional congres-sional act to make a reapportionment of I'tah. At the risk of dampening the enthusiasm of our negative contemporary contempo-rary we desire to say that the governor did not wish to bo "in it." lie went to Washington to urge the reapportionment reapportion-ment bill, no matter who were to be the executors of it, while all the time Delegate Caine iusUted he was there to promote the tji'itt t.i.e bill. When linally our misrepresentativo is-covered is-covered his mistake ho at ouco opened war upon the governor in the hopo of defeating tho measure which the latter sponsored. Governor Thomas was quite willing to sacrifice his place on the board for the sake of saving the bill. Indeed, he preferred not to be "in it" from tho first and he would as lief have assigned the duty to the supreme court as to any other body. The main thing was to get the reapportionment made, and made fairly, realizing as he dues, and as all fair-minded people do, that it is ono of the most salutary steps in the progress of this territory. The mistake of asserting as-serting that tho governor was one of the board occurred through a misleading mislead-ing dispatch from an usually well informed in-formed correspondent. It will be comical, com-ical, however, to note the contortions of the organs which ins'sted that the membership of the governor was the one danger to a fair apportionment. What will they say now since t'ney discovered dis-covered that "Thomas isnotiu it?" |
