Show wsiwi m i im ii mmiii wi iMii w I niwiiiiinj fn UTAH REPUBLICANS AND TJHE PARTY NATIONALLY, Utah Republicans wllj not Und anything any-thing jchoertng in tho romurks of ex-Senator ex-Senator pubols of Idaho made lwforo the silver Republican cbmtnlttoo In Ogdon SAtuulny. Mr, Dubois said in part that It was: "Dishonest trickery for them (Utah j Republicans) to assume that tboy could bo for sliver effectively, with tho party, natiomilly, committed against It. A Republican, If olected from Utah, would havo no standing In national councils unless ho stood ready to nblde by tho party paucus, and his parly's caucus would undoubtedly blud him to work and voto against silver." If Jt is "dishonest trickery" for Republicans Re-publicans to claim to bo for sllvor.tlion tho Republican Stato platform adopted In Salt Lak.o last Saturday must bo dishonest dis-honest and a trtak to catch votes of former Republicans who bellevo In bimetallism. bi-metallism. Do our Republican trlcnds believe with ox-Senator Dubois that "a Republican, if elected from Utah, would luivo no standing In national councils unless ho stood ready to abldo by tho party caucus, and his party's caucus would undoubtedly bind him to work nnd voto against silver?" If thoy do bellevo thlu statement then they must olthor bollcvo that tbo silver sil-ver plank In tho Stats platform was put In only a9 a trick to catch votes, or ttiat If a Republican Is elected ho must rcpud'ato tho platform as soon as ho gets to Washington. Tho Republican Republi-can party Is committed to tbo St. Louis platform nationally, and tho fact catinot bo dodgad that all Republicans' Repub-licans' aro committed to that samo platform. An attempt to ovado or dis-gulso dis-gulso that fact cannot bo regarded as othcrwlso than ''trickery." |
