There is column of smoke and when it clears away there stands out in bold relief the figure of United States Marshal Spry, lie is the political ecnii. He is the creation crea-tion of the hierarch.

'Tis done. Bill Spry is tho chosen one.- fIsTow tho only thing that remains to be done is for the stato convention to ratify the nomination.' This it will do. TTyrum Spry Joseph will make the motion mo-tion in convention to nominate Spry by acclamation; Major Hcber Pratt Myton will second this motion; Joseph F;ld-redge F;ld-redge will put it before tho houso. Presto. The whisper, will do the rest. Old Soldiers Against Marshal. "But Spry will have to face many, many problems that he win find difficulty diffi-culty in answering. Old soldiersf Grand I Army men. veterans of the civil war, 1 will ask him to explain why he removed re-moved John Alvos, a wounded veteran of the war for the Union, from the position posi-tion of bailiff of the United States court; Alves had been appointed to the position posi-tion by Ben Heywood when he was t United States Marshal. Alyes made a ; competent official. His appointment was a recognition of a worthy man and of the Grand Army of the Republic. All this, however, did not figure with Spry, for when he came in ho dropped John Alves from the roll. "In place of Alves Marshal Spry appointed ap-pointed Sol Kimball, who for years had been jailer at tho police station. Kimball Kim-ball had boon relieved at the station, and. having, like Peowco Thomas, held office all his life, could not let go. lie had to have a job. Then, too, he wore the puckering string about his neck. This was sufficient. Alves was bounced. Kimball succeeded him. In making the change Marshal Spry violated the spirit of the civil service law and directly violated vio-lated tho executive order of President Roosevelt regarding tho retention of old soldiers. He did this, no doubt, in view that the baud of twenty-six daily violates vio-lates the law and as this, band is tho law in Utah he had to stand in. Whisper Will Work. "Tho platform upon which he will stand will no doubt contain a plank expressing ex-pressing the great love of the church Hepnhhcnn party for the old soldiers, the veterans of the. civil war. How well they aro loved is shown by the actiou of Spry in tho case of John Alves. " But the whisper tho gum shoe tactics tac-tics will push Spry through." |
