Show u ADLITIONAL POLITICAL MELANGE John A. Hendrickson of Logan is one of the first crop of candidates for the nomination for state senator from - his district. These early growths are tender things, apt to be nipped by frosts. At the present time, however, Mr, Hendrickson Is putting forth his buds. and soliciting,, aid from his ( frlends and neighbors lri furtherance ; of his ambitions. Ho may grow and ' spread his branches like a green bay I ' tree till othera who may In their l hearts cherish ambitions similar to i hismay. bo completely overshadowed, ' and yet It may bo that tho frost of early spring may nip tho tender buds nnd that when tho harvest comes, Billion Bill-ion or D. It. Roberts may be tho ones to garner tho wheat. Tho report printed in Salt Lake to tho effect that a sharp conflict con-flict exists between the president and tho Utah delegation over Senator Sutherland's Suth-erland's amendment to the Indian bill relative to water rights in Uintah reserve, re-serve, is erroneous. Tho president has not Indicated to any member of the Utah delegation that ho Is opposed to tho amendment. He has not spoken to Senator Sutherland at all on the subject nnd tho only reference mado to It between the president nn Senator Smoot was when the for mer In a casual remark to th latter said that ho hoped Congress would protect the Indians In their rights. Tho Sutherland amendment Is in as reported, and will remain there. The publication of a story of a controversy con-troversy Is in lino with several such publications apparently designed for tho purpose of creating the impression that a misunderstanding is oxlsting between tho president and tho Utah delegation. Tho fact is that there is no delegation In Congress whoso rein: Hons with tho Whito Houso exceed In cordiality those between tho president on the ono hand and Messrs. Sutherland, Suther-land, Smoot and Howell on the other. I " |
