Show , "WISE JIMMY" TELLS "NEWSY" WHAT'S WHAT IN PROVO POLITICAL GAME Special to Tho Tribune. PE0V0. Juno 25. WLilo "Newsy" was on his rounds the otlior day, in search of "dope," ho met "Wiso Jimmy" and touched him for a little political gossip. "Wiso Jimmy," aside from his profession as a ward neeler in the party of tusks and looso skin, was Cull to the back molars of political pabulum, which ho dispensed with a relish and satisfaction that was gratifying grat-ifying to behold. " 'What about the State ticket 7' you say. Well, I think T. may safely say, without .ia-ring the truth ono whit, and not mentioning our excellent Senator, who, wo are proud to say, comes from our town, that Provo has more good candidates for office than any other ten cities in tho State. Now, for Governor Gov-ernor there's Colonel Ed Looso, wliilo for Socretary of Stato thero is our ablo postmaster, Jim Clove, who would fill tho chair as well as it was ever filled, nud a littlo over. For State Auditor we havo our worthy bank examiner. C. A. Glazier, brother-in-law of Apostle Rood Smoot. We hardly know whether to run Andrew Holdaway for Stato Treasurer Treas-urer or not, sinco ho got rotten-c- cd over in Eureka tho other day; wo may hold him for the Governor's privato secretary. sec-retary. You sec, he'd bo a good hand in suppressing tho news that wo didn't want to qet out and become public. Yes, T think wc will resorvo him for that placo and give the Treasurership to our Senator's brother, George M. Smoot. "Referring back to Charles Albert Glazier, ho deserves something. You soe, ho bus put up with that miserable bauk examiner job and mado no kick about it. and tho boy deserves something better. bet-ter. "Taking up the subject of Governor again, vou see, ' Nowsy. ' it isn't so much that we wunt to run the colonel for that place, but the question is what ill to do with him. Vou sec, ho discovered 'W-l MMM Senator Smoot when he was nothing but I. H a measly wool picker in the Provo f 1 woolou mills, was tho first to perceive nUI his special qualifications, so to sa" and "rl tho first to give him a boost for Wash- , V -iH ington.
