Show ; r TRUf tt. 2 Itself after all not the body blow which knocked the senator out. It appears that a few days before the convention Kearns went east and : renewed his former efforts to induce President Roosevelt and the national committee to bring pressure on President Smith of the Mormon church to use his influence in favor of Kearns. Kearns long ago boasted that he didnt care a damn for the people of Utah, that when he wanted anything politically, all he had to do was to go up tef church Well, headquarters - and buy it Kearns failed in his mission east, and also failed to induce the national committee to make, him ' its ' disbursing agent of campaign funds in Utah, and also failed to persuade the national committee that it should interfere in the quarrel between the Utah senators. In fact, Kearns was turned down on. every proposition. Then he came home, bolted the Republican ticket and started the K. Ks. . The K. Ks. meet tonight in the Grand theatre. That great and good statesman, George L. Nye, says the K. Ks. should nominate J. D. Wood for governor and Judge Hiles for congress, and let the balance of the offices go. That other and equally great and good statesman, H. J. Dininny, differs from Mr. Nye, and thinks a full ticket should be put in the field. One objection to that, however, is that there will scarcely be enough K. Ks. for. all the offices. At least of the ninety who were present at the first meeting have been apologizing ever since for being there. The K. Ks. have also lost their mascot, J. J. Meyers. Meyers says he has no abiding faith in Kearns,, the prime mover, the great mogul of the organization. one-thir- d . says .Meyers, we fellows might join the movement in force enough to line up from the Brigham Why, Young monument to Ensign peak, and Kearns would sell' out every mothers son of us the moment he succeeded in making terms with President Joseph F. Smith. Daniel Dunne says he dont want anything more to do with the K. Swenson says he is Ks. Frank them. M. H. Walker, with through name the Tribune used to give whose some cast to the movement, is out of town, but wrote declining to be a K. IC or to. have anything to do with them. E. B. Critchlow is said not to favor putting a ticket in the field at this time, but only perfecting an organization for future service and to raise the devil at the coming school board election. Kearns will use all his efforts to defeat George Sutherland for the senate. Next to being elected himself, his heart's dearest desire is to defeat Sutherland. He doesnt love Sutherland, and there is no evidence at hand that Sutherland loves Kearns. The K. Ks. should not be allowed to participate in the Republican primaries for the county convention. The K. Ks. are not Republicans. They have bolted and started a new party, and have no color of right to take part in the Republican primaries. The county committee should put in force the law governing primaries which provides ner does not make him a Kearns man by any means.
