Show o . TRUTHS. The "American" city committee which controlls each and every officer in the city administration is composed of a number of known grafters and thieves. There is not a man on it who has any standing in the commun-nity commun-nity or could be elected to any public pub-lic office by the people. Yet they control the board of public works, the city council and all the officials. Chairman Snow of the democratic committee to anxious Inquirer Everything Ev-erything is coming our way. I feel greatly encouraged. We'll elect every ev-ery man on the ticket. Chairman Snow sixty seconds later lat-er to Mr. Richards Arv you coming I to that meeting tonight? Mr. Richards No I can't possibly , i be there. Chairman Snow, Well I'm badly discouraged. Everybody's going back on us. I feel like throwing up the job. w m The Tribune last Sunday published a story replete with details to the effect ef-fect that A. W. "Ivins recently elevated ele-vated to the apostolic quorum of the Mormon church was a polygamist and had entered into the polygamic relation since the church put its ban A, on polygamy years ago. The Tribune Trib-une also said that Mr. Ivins' daughter had become the polygamous wife of another prominent Mormon. The Tribune well knew when it published those statements that it was published pub-lished lies made fromi whole cloth, milicious, willful downright lies. It has done the same thing about many other good people. It's Sunday edition edi-tion has considerable circulation among certain classes in the cast. It was to deceive those people in the east and blacken the Mormon people "A in their eyes that the Tribune published pub-lished the lies. Two or three days afterwards it published a complete retraction in the regular daily edition which circulates practically only in Utah and even there to a less extent than any other daily paper in the city except its understudy, the Telegram. Tele-gram. Such is Tribune justice. The Amcrikearns organs show a very vicious disposition in references they make to the editor of the Inter-mountain Inter-mountain Republican. Supposing ' Coycottc Scafrit, Old Grouch Nelson, Nel-son, the Jew batcr, and some others on the staff of Ex Senator Kcarns, the arch criminal of U'ah and the cx-scnator himself were lined up with the editor of the republican before impartial judges who of the bunch would they pick out as criminals? cri-minals? The lot would certainly not fall on the editor of the Republican, "not by a jugful" or even more. A more vicious looking "ornery" gang than the others would be hard to find even in the penitentiary.
