| Show senatorial PROBLEMS the struggle for supremacy among republican publican r te senatorial aspirants continues many are the combinations proposed and varied are the means emp employed loved to bring about the most desirable results As to the outcome no one knows as yet but with others ni ne e venturie e an opinion the way matters stand frank cannon has probably the tha bes show but should his father enter the race in earnest franks show ehoff will mil be slim the tribune and others have been urging frank from the start for selfish reasons not because they wanted frank but in order to keep his father out of ortho tho race men may ask aek why they wanted i to keep geo Q ca cannon non from bel 1 coming a candidate simply because he had bad long ago formed a combination ditl with h col trumbo whereby the latter was to bi reward for the work he be has been credited with doing for utah by members of the first presidency and such a combi combination nat ion would w shut abut out al of the tribune favorites for second place there are those however who think that geo Q cannons candidacy is a fake that he be has no intention of running but allows his name to be used now to prevent any other TA mormon lormon republican from going against frank this view of the case does not seem to be a fair one inasmuch as the main supporters of frank are actually hostile to geoa lt it might be possible for some such unde standing to exist between father andson and son but the tribune arthur brown J E dooly and others who are urging the younger cannon are already y fighting the alie elder we are more inclined to the opinion that geo Q cannon is in the race of hib own volition and very much against the wishes of his son naturally he hates to come out in OP opposition poston to a member of his own family as who would not but lie he feels that frank should respect his wishes enough to stand out of his light there are many reasons why geo Q cannon would like to V go to the senate of the united states I 1 lie he i v like the honor and glory r of if it lie he would like the vindication of sitting above the ody from which which he be was once expelled because of his religious convictions he be would like the prestige and influence of such a position added to aho power he be has already besides he is getting old arid and cannot afford to walt wait for opportunities tuni ties us its frank can moie iloie than that he has made it possible for frank to rea roach eh his eminence hr he has bas made it pos giblo lor for the republicans of utah to control legislation by reason of his equal division policy which has been rather tco much of a good thing frank ought to consider well before ho be crosses crosses his father and the republican party ought to think twice before it decides to throw the old gentleman overboard both cannons cannot go that is is settled in a few years when they fill most of the important positions in the young state there may be two can cannon non senators and one cannon congressman but the people will have to be educated no up to that they are not prepared for it yet speculation is therefore rife as to a a 11 suitable running mite for george Q the only logical applicant for the honor is col isaac Trun trumbo ibo lie ile has done more for the people of utah than any other republican in the state according to presidents woodruff cannon and S smith iab they all deprecate the attempt of any one else to share the credit with the colonel then how can they endorse any one besides col trumbo for this position ile he was in washinton washington ton working ll 11 with george Q cannon and bi bishop shop calason for the when arthur brown pat lannan judge goodwin C W bennett and 0 S varian were working hard against them only one thing will prevent cannon smith et at from showing their gratitude to the colonel and that is fear of the tribune speaking of the tribune reminds us that pat lannan is ore one of the most remarkable characters in utah politics lie ile is a hard man to handle as he generally manages to direct the movements of both contending forces that he controls the action of local republicanism no one will gainsay except through gh ignorance of his methods the tribune is his mouthpiece and goodwin his employee when the tribune endorsed F rank frank J cannon that meant that some kind of a bargain had bad been entered into between pat lannan and frank J cannon it meant possibly that frank and editor goodwin were wera matched for the race it may have meant that frank and arthur brown were the tandem team for pat to drive to washington it may have meant that pat in view of t the he growing browin 0 a age of goodwin and the changed condition of things in in utah had decided upon a change in his editorial staff and that frank with liis his brilliancy his family prestige here at ho home eabe the additional prestige that a united cited states slates would give iv him everywhere had been se selected by the ever wide awake pat as his editor in chief in place of goodwin win i 0 grown too old but r ut whatever may have h ave been the deal or the motive or the intention I 1 rest assured that pat lannan knew what he was doing za when he be made the trade we learn that pat has likewise a wonderful influence over judge powers that it is his desire to keep democrats caucus bound because there is better chance to elect frank cannon by so doin doing the democratic members of the legislature have been playing into hannans Lan nans hand so far instead instead of naan managing aging their thair own caucus they ara an letting powers do it for them As a result no one cares to consult democratic members about anything as it has gone out that they aie held in leash by judge powers he is ia therefore enjoying himself at the expense of the caucus bound members for what is the use of talking to men who acknowledge the absolute control of a master ben rich is using all his idaho tricks and tactics in favor of frank JC joannon J cannon annon this of itself is enough 0 to defeat him it defeated sweet at least that is what mcconnell says ben has opened up commodious in headquarters at the templeton and his hii guests are legion lindsey roo rogers gers is at the cullen working the country members for arthur I 1 brown and frank J other headquarters abound in various rious hotels and business blocks whiskey and cigars are arc disposed of in wholesale it is ia hard to predict the outcome it will be frank cannon and arthur brown or geo gen Q cannon and isaac trumbo at vt present the odds are in favor of the former combination but if geo Q makes the proper effort he be and the colonel will carry off the coveted persimmons prominent among those working for geo Q I
