Show THE KNOCKERS AT LOS ANGELES Tho Tribune Is very vehement in Its denials (lint the (wo of tho triumvlrato trium-vlrato who were in T.os Angeles with (ho Commercial club excursion inspired in-spired articles which appeared in (ho Los Angeles papers uncomplimentary to Senator Smoot. They may deny all they can, but it Is nevertheless n fact Senator Kearns wont, around talking about tho awful conditions In Utah and tho wickedness of tho Mormons in gonornl and Sonntor Smoot in particular, par-ticular, and Lippman followed tho ox-amplo ox-amplo of his master. When the excursionists excur-sionists wero In Los Angeles tho Trlbuno Trlb-uno gang injected tho religious question ques-tion into tho proceedings. This can bo proved from tho Trlbuno roports, oven If there wero no othor evidence of it. Kearns and L-Ipptmn attempted to divide tho oxcurslonlsts on Gonlllo nnd Mormon lines, nnd, according to tho Tribune reports, tho Gontilos stayed at one hotel nnd tho Mormons at another. This was falso, but It showed plainly tho trnil of tho sor-ponts. sor-ponts. Kearns posed as tho leader of tho Gentiles, nnd nothing was omitted by tho Trlbuno gang which would bo likely to stir up ill feeling and discord and nock Utah. Tho Gentiles must bo very proud of Tom Kearns as their leader. Tho effrontery of such a man posing as tho leador of anybody or anything unless It bo a pack of blackguards, black-guards, Is something wondorful. |
