IH BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE SHOULD SELECT DELEGATES II Would Also Relegate Utah Er- rand Boys, Known as the Con- JM gressional Delegation. :l "The plan proposed l)3r thc insut K'l gcnla. in the church Republican party of fI turning down the Congressional delega- 11 tion and flic Federal bunch as delegates irH to the Chicago convention will meet . with approval from now on our side- Isfl of thc house." said a prominent church MH politician to The Stroller, Prida3 after- fl noon. "Why should not this crowd be k'I turned down," he coutinued. Tho peo- v'M pie selected the Congressional delegation to enact legislation and to do their er- rNH rands ;n tho National capital. Neither UM of the two Senators nor tho Congress- W'M man can in the remotest degree be flhl classed as statesmen. Tn fact the- arc Ifl mediocre in everything. And as for the Kl Pcderal bunch, well one just laughs HFfl that all. ilfrH People Should Seloct. kS "But regardless of ability' the people ' i BB arc the ones to choose tho candidates for President and Vice-President. They jlfll have to elect them, hence I can see no reason why the delegates should not bo 'll chosen direct from the people. Tes. I know that the custom has been for the ' band of twenty-six, as you denominate ' jI them, to select the delegates from both the church Republican and church Dcm- ';- ocratic parties to the national conven- : tions, just as it has been their cuotom . to name the candidates upon the State ' K' tickets, but this year it will be different. i!- Thcro is a revolt. I for one am tired Kl of it, and 3'ou cannot class me with the Ol insurgeuts, either, and T know I speak .

No, no. The insurgent fH move to relegate them from the position fH of delegates to teh national convention fil meets with mj- approval. Federal Bunch After McCartv. lifl "Speaking of State politics, do you !j know that Chief Jusftico McCartv is 'tho , Jfl target at which the Federal bunch is Ifl aiming its guns for the reason that Mc- Carty has been too pronounced in his 'rtl views 'to suit that gang, but tho ."jurist rll will give them a surprise when the Stater fH convention is called. He is going into rrl the convention with a following that Ptl will astound the Smootitcs and the Fed- fcpfl oral bunch. All the south part of the 1 fl State is for him. and ho will have good rrl support, from Salt Lake county.
