Show ; MR. WILSON'S WESTERN TRIP. We are told that Gov. Wood row Wilson ia about ; to start west and tht there is no political aignifl-: aignifl-: 'caac in his visit that he has received ao many in-- in-- - - itationa visit the- west that oa ia aimpljr. going to take an outing that way. ' It beats all how easy it is to frame an excuse for 'doing a thing at' the right time of life. - Now this ' professor and Governor Wilson has often been invited in-vited weat, but be never baa found the time heretofore hereto-fore to con. It is not a matter worth mention at all, except one wondere why, inasmuch as he is a . candidate for president, he tries to hedge himself about with excuses when be is going to make a little . swing around the eirele, the real object of which in 1 to introduce him. to. the people of different atates and trust to the impression he will make. But there in a funny feature to it. Why doea he avoid Utah! He eomee to Denver, then-, to go to San Francisco, he takes the long roundabout way to Los Angeles first, then up the Oregon eoast road to Portland and Seattle, and so on home. Why does not he come this wsyf Has he received the impression that tinder present arrangement Utah ia bound to be Republican until a new deal is madef Probably it ik mean to have a suspicion of that kind, but it is bard to shake it off. We would all be glad to see Mr. Wilson, as glad as we would be to see any other candidate, because we in Utah can judge dispas- ' hionately we know if we are on the wrong aide we : will fail, and if we are on the right aide we are go- ing to win anyhow; that we are just creatures of fate, and that the matter is all fixed op for us and we can afford to wait to see how the Lord's will jniiiia. because our Lord here changes his mind some-times for at consideration. '. And still we thick Mr. Wood row Wilson makes a mistake in not coming this way. It ia possible he w ants to go down through New Mexico' and Ari--' zona, that he may have a chance in some planes down there to explain to the people what an out-- out-- ratre it is to keep them out of the union on a mere ' abstraction. That might help him next year with . nix dole-gates to the national convention, whereas he could only get half that number from Utah. Privately Pri-vately we do not believe Mr. Wilson or Judge Harmon Har-mon will be nominated: they have sprung their hnrms too quirk. We should say, look out for Champ Clark or for William Jennings Bryan. When the south comes out and votes solidly for either one, it witl bave ita efrpet Tt ta rmitaih- that Mr Wil. son is counting on the same vote,' because he is southern born; but at thia writing the compaw points to elect either Missouri or Nebraaka. |
