Show SMOOT AND SUTHERLAND MEET FOB ' FIRST TIME SINCE ELECTION; HERE IS WHAT THEY SAID AND THOUGHT Salt Lake Telegram, Nov. 7th. Apostle Reed Smoot and Congressman Con-gressman George Sutherland met for the first time since the election, yesterday. The meeting occurred on the corner of Main and First South streets and the greetings between be-tween the two rival Senatorial candidates can-didates were most effusive. Their conversation, which was carried on in an ordinary tone, was heard by a number of gentlemen standing near, one of which, who is something some-thing of a mind-reader, gave to The Telegram the thoughts which coursed through the minds of the two Senatorial candidates as they discussed the election. When the gentlemen met, Congressman Con-gressman Sutherland grasped A pos- (Maybe I won't hand it to him properly if my plans don't miscarry. miscar-ry. Guess he thinks he has a walkover, walk-over, but he'll find out before he gets through with this fight that Georgie is a few himself.) Smoot I guess the Democrats were greatly surprised at the result. (Their surprise wasn't a marker to what yours will be when I bump you against the caucus, though.) Sutherland Well, I should say they were. (I think you have one of about the same caliber coming o along in January.) Smoot I'm awfully glad to see you again, yold fellow. (What a nerve he must have to butt into this fight, when he knows that I tie Smoot firmly by the hand, and with his left hand seized the apostle's apos-tle's right arm just above the elbow. el-bow. The Congressman then gave the apostle the "pump-handle" shake for some time. What the gentlemen said to each other, and what they thought at the same time, is given herewith; the portion in parentheses is what thoy thought: Smoot WhyGeorge, old fellow, fel-low, how are you? You are looking line. (You won't look sofino when I get a crack at you in the Lcns-lature, Lcns-lature, though.) Sutherland Thank you, Keed. I'm feelingnll right. You are looking look-ing happy. (Wonder what he's chasing around here for. I'd like to souk him in the slats.) Smoot It was a great victory, wasn't it? (It was for me. So far as you are concerned, it's a cinch that you will never get within speaking distance of the money.) Sutherland It certainly was. want the job.) Sutherland Thank you; lam glad to see you again. (Why couldn't they have sent him on a mission to the north pole a few months ago? I'll give him a chill, thouo-h, before I am through with him.) Smoot Well, I must be going, as I have an important business engagement; good-bye. (lie is so easy that I feel sorry for him. It's just like taking things away from a baby. Wonder what he thinks of the guff I've been giving him.) Sutherland Good-bye, Beed; sorry yon are in a burn'. (Guess you are goinr out and dio- up a few of these Legislators here in the county and see if they will stand hitched, and support you as you think they will. But you will have to hustle, for you will need all the votes you can get, and then some. Guess he thinks the guff I've been giving him is all straio-lit goods. He isn't so very many after all.) |
