Judge King's talk seemed to be about the most popular with the crowd present. The house may have b en packed or it may not. Indications Indica-tions arc that Tommy Keams hai 1 HI several friends there mostly for re- R2s venue however. That is where the rVffiC hi S anomoly of Judge King's speech ap- ' I HI V pears. W ILJ Yfl A number of years ago, which a 4 Tri&S 111 cw us rcmem')er Jdge King was """Slr 111 Congressman for this state and a . fyTk!vV' verv a'J'e' ant ,nost creditable repre- Id V v-sJ scntative of the state he was. When SJLlSlTnl '"s congiessional term expired he re- 7-v fused the nomination 'jr re-election, I II I refused it absolutely and unqualified ly, although he could have had it I tendered him on a silver platter with- 111 II out the asking. k IB His ambitions werc higher. He y IB wanted to be United States senator, f tB and, from his life long fidelity to hit Xy ll party and his ability and good worlc A II for his state, for all the people of fl ! the state irrespective of party affili- jfl ations, he had a right to expect re- S I cognition and advancement. N. v H But what happened? A jackanapes, fl who by mere accident happened 10 Pu H have somc money who had never rr fl 'done anything for anybody, who had V fl no public record good or bad, not ' fl good at least, came in desiring thai fl his nakedness be clothed with a fl senatorial toga and he was prepared fl to pay a high price for the clothing, I fl rag, we had almost said. His money, I fl while not succeeding in obtaining I fl for himself the aforesaid toga or rag, I fl whichever you prefer, was sufficient- I fl ly potent to prevent the election pf I H Judge King or any other worthy can- I H didate. Judge King knows the in- J 2EjJ fl side of all this business. He knows 5) fl how he was sacrificed and given the fl I I "double cross." ,JLI fl History repeats itself. A few year.-. If (gOV B afterwards there appeared another II 2vi fl Croesus covetous of a senatorial toga IV$9lV fl or rag as it in a good many instances l"""5cCjYI JR fl has descended to. According to IffllCr I Judge Goodwin then this aspirant IVsX I was very, very, much less worthy of I " V H I VI Hl senatorial honors nnd less capable ol PPJ, I crforming senatorial duties than the Hl) former senatorial humbug who di- PPP fented Judge King. Judge Goodwin PPP was then right' in his distinction he PPJ tween the capabilities of M'cCunc and PPP Kcr.rns, but or sonic incxplical)lc PPP reason or another, Judge Goodwin PPP has changed his mind and for scv- PPP oral years apparently thinks that Mr PPP Kcarns is par excellence, the kind of PPP timber from which United States sen- PPP ators should be made. But that's PPP another story. The second Croesus PPP wh.o made his assault on the doors PPP of the United States senate was mort PPP successful than the first. He ap- PPP plied the golden wedge more ad- PPP roitly (having a cunning manager; PPP than the other one and gained en- PPP trance for a short period, but PPP was ousted.

H, There is a determined effort by the PPJ - president of the alleged Comincrcia' PPJ club and other henchmen of Croesus PPJ the Second to help him to gain re- PPJ entrance to the senate, but Judge PPJ King notwithstanding his own bitter PPJ experience apparently joins hands PPJ witli the henchmen of ex-Senator PPJ Kcarns and eulogises Mr. Kcarns as PPJ a benefactor to the state of Utah. PPJ Anything and everything that Mr. PPJ Kcarns has done has been from, a PPJ selfish motive. He never invested t PPJ dollar unless he expected to receive PPJ therefrom two dollars in return. He PPJ and some of his associates in the PPJ Silver King mine attempted to do- PPJ initiate the entire state of Utah iu- PPJ eluding the judiciary. His present PPJ aim is to be again a United States PPJ senator and his object through his PPJ henchmen the president of the Com PPJ mcrcial club and others is to make PPJ the club one of the tools for the ac- PPJ complishmcnt of his purpose, and PPJ Judge King apparently falls in to the PPJ |
