"Soy. haven't, you overlookqd a befc an your rumbles about town," said the Prominent Politician" to The Stroller on Thnrfiday. "You liavo apparently aorgptten thnt there is :i church Democratic Demo-cratic parry here, whicli is dominated exactly as is Hie church Republic party. Kipp Joe rules this side of the house just as he docs the side where the Federal bunch are allowed to sit. His l orders count just the same with tho church Democrats as thoy do with tho church Republicans. "Of course, ho has not yet had n revelation reve-lation in which he has boen told to set apart certain persons for certain places because tho church Republican Stale dclogatc convention has not yet been hold. After that occurs then tho trance act will bo done-. Tho revolation received re-ceived will bo edited by Lho authorities before it is promulgated. "Ponding this, however, tho hiorarch will hnvc received some information from Eldqrd Richard Morris. William K. King, Ashby Snow, Richard V. Young and Judge Rolapp. Theso gentlemen, gen-tlemen, all of whom belong to tho priesthood and therefore aro enabled to talk with King Joe, aro desirous of representing Utah at the Democratic national convention in Denver. "Of course thero aro others, liko Roylanco of Provo and Hardin Dennion of Uintah and Quil Is'cbekor of Cache. Judge Powers, John Dorn, and Simon Bamberger of Salt Lake, who would also like to put their feet under tho pino eoats in the Denver Auditorium, but the last four named aro 'outside- tho priesthood. That queers them at the start. When Delegation Is Choson. "Then again, Lew Ivorson, brother of the bishop, and BrigEam H. Roberts would also like to attend the convention. conven-tion. "When the dolegation is chosen you can count the Gentilo delegates upon tho lingers of one hand. Apostle Anthony Y. Jvins is looking look-ing after this end of affairs. Of course, it would bo the right thing to do to send Orlando V. Powers, who has devoted both time and 11101103' to further lho hiorarch 's causo in Democracy; Democ-racy; and then' there is Prank B. Stevens, who testifiod in behalf of Smoot in "Washington, hence should bo rewarded. But both are Gentiles. Whilo fhoy aro close to the throne the puckering string on their underwear is absent. This settles their dough. John Dcrn is going abroad, hence he is Btruck out-, besides J10 objects to church interference in politics and thercforo is marked for destruction, and this leaves nobody but Simon Bnniborgcr. Bui Simon won't do, for, regardless of his nationality, he is a Gentile, hence he is barred, and the Ogden tools of the hiorarch hio-rarch will opposo him. "So that the question of a delegation delega-tion drifts back where? Bill King, Ashby Snow, J. F. Tolton, Judge Rolapp. Ro-lapp. Mayor Roylanre of Provo, and L. R. Martincau. All these belong to the priesthood. The hicraro.h knows that no mistake will bo made in sending them, for his word will be as the word of wisdom. It. goes. See! Rovolt Is On. ''But behind all ihis there is a revolt re-volt on among the .younger element in tho church Democratic party. Thov hnvc tired of Bill King, as he has ha'd honors enough heaped upon him. as Delegate and as Representative to Congress; Con-gress; they havo tired of Dick Young: they havo tired of Dick (Morris, and as to Ashby Snow well, what has Ashby done, thoy ask? Do vou kuow? Of course you don't. Nobody docs. But then, Ashby is wise. Ho shows "it in his looks. Ho .iust saws wood. Mnrk you. now, Ashby is likely to be one of the delegates, because he is liko a. clam no talkeo. Seel "Tho younger clement in the church Democratic pearly would like lo send Sam Nowhouse to Chicago, but, Samuel is not in the swim. The representatives of the French syndicate whom - Sam represents in Ziou .know who the hie-rarcli hie-rarcli is. The offer to lend him a big wad of money to help build tho skyscraper sky-scraper on tho old Dcseret News corner was regarded as in tho nature of a bribe and while. King Joo would like to have had the money his counselors thought it would savor too much of a bid for the United Slates Senatorship, so Sammy is to be turned down. Groat Country This. "This is a great country, this Utah of ours, politically. You pay your money and .you take your choice, when the baud of twenty-six determines what that choice will be. If a church Democrat Demo-crat you bow lo them. If a church Republican Re-publican you bow likewise. But if yon aro a Democrat, or a Republican from principle, before you participate in primaries or conventions you are catechised by agents of the band of twenty-six before 3-011 can enter tho portals of the convention hall, and if you intimalo or suggest freedom of speech 3-011 aro thrown out. "The church parties must be sustained, sus-tained, and the3f will bo in convention." |
