Show SPRY IS BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND BEEP SEA Reorganization of the Several State Boards Causing Him Much Grief. Governor Spry is in hot water. In fact,- he is between the devil and tho deep sea, and does not know which way to turn. - The causo ijor his boing in this predicament is that tho outsido members of tho legislature!, that is, thoso from counties other than Salt Lake, aro demanding that tho royal families of Utah, who havo been bo'ld-ing bo'ld-ing down all tho officos ever since statehood, bo relegated and now blood infused. Jn other words, there is a demand for a reorganization of several of the stato boards, tho land board and tho board of equalization in particular and if tho governor does not do this there will o such a row kicked up that thero will be a rupturo between tho executive and the legialaturo that it will bo difficult diffi-cult to heal. The Salt Lako and Utah count fellows fel-lows have had all tho good plums so long, and tho other counties given the runts and wormy ones, that tho cow county follows aro wearied; hence they aro domauding a change. It is understood that a number of caucuses havo been hold by tho outsiders, out-siders, and that it has beon decided to stand as a unit for what they believe is right in a fair divy of tho offices. It is duo to this, it is said, that tho federal bunch has stationed Curly Cal-listcr, Cal-listcr, Tom JIull and Fussy Jimmv in tho governor's office, so iluit an espion-ngc espion-ngc can be had upon all who call upon his excellency. However, regardless of this, it is also understood that there havo been somo honrt-to-leart talks between legislators and Govornor Spry, and that the govornor has had tho law laid down to him in plain words: TIo has been told, so it is said, that pot measures which ho would liko to have passed will die the death in the hand of committees unless ho 'conies through on some of tho appointments on Iho several state boards. Uc ha? beon told that there aro other counties beside Salt Lake whom political promises prom-ises wore mado and whero political debts have to be paid. Thero is a, clamor from the rank and file who are hungry and anxious to partako of the sweets of offical life, and the- propose to have their claims not only considered but recognized, hence the governor is in very hot, water, with the chanco that ho will bo badly scalded unless ho is very careful. V.ift he has got to come through, or tho cow county brethren will turn on more heat. |
