Show . GOODWIN CONSISTENCY. On Wednesday an article on thr editorial pogo of tho Telegram, writ ten by Judge Goodwin, says that thr appointment by President Roosevel' of Mr. Spry as United States marshn' . for Utah was tho carrying out of a- agreement mado between tho Mor Imon leaders, prominent Republlcam here and some one who was acting lr tho Interest of President Roosevelt and that tho agreement involved thr election of Senator Sutherland, tho re appointment of ex-Governor Thomar as postmaster, tho sacrifice of United States Marshal Hoywood for a Mormon Mor-mon and tho giving of tho electoral vote of tho state by tho Mormons to President Roosevelt. This, tho editorial edi-torial in question says, accounts for Senator Sutherland not using his Influence In-fluence to keep Marshal Heywood in ofllce "docs not lessen the shamo and tho wrong of tho misorablo business- In tho least, but accounts for It all." If Judge Goodwin's, statement that such an agreement' was mado he must have been a party to that agreement agree-ment or at the very least an accessory after the fact, for Goodwin's Weekly was, In the election of 1904, as strongly strong-ly as It could bo in favor of George Sutherland for tho United States sen-atorship. sen-atorship. If such a shameful bargain was mado why did Mr. Goodwin in this paper help to carry out that which ho now calls a shameful bargain? bar-gain? Ho must have approved of the agreement then. Why does ho now characterize it as a shamo and a wrong. Is his change of front for money or for what? Tho Telegram editorial is a direct Insult! to Presl- i dent Roosevelt and Is falso from beginning be-ginning to end. Why should Senator Sutherland want to keep Mr. Hoy-wood Hoy-wood In ofllce? A renegade Republican Republi-can who did all ho could to defeat the party that honored and fed him? Senator Sen-ator Sutherland has too much character char-acter and stamina to bo either bulldozed bull-dozed or cajoled by either the Telegram Tele-gram or the Trlbuno or tho KoarnF gang, of which Judge Goodwin is now a member, or nil combined. |
