It is receiving no support from substantial citizens. The Tribune's boosting of its misshapen, idiotic, child is not succeeding. The movement is already on the wane. The party cant even secure enough men of even mediocre standing in the community to make out a ticket to place before the people.. Here are the names of the county committee which the Tribune says is a fine personnel, the very best material. in the state: George L. Nye, Writer of legal opinions to order and a disappointed Henry Heath, not Henry Heath; the old and respected citizens, but some unknown youth of that name; Sam McDowell, a nice old granny who never votes; George R. Hancock, well most people know George and how much or how little weight he carries; C. E. Offenbach, meal ticket rustler; J. J. Stewart, a Kearns creature; J. E. Darmer, Salaried Kearns agent, and disgruntled office-seekeThe whole eight of them pay an aggregate of about $20 a year in taxes. These are the men the the very Tribune classifies as state. in the material best g Then we have Sam Galeazzi, offic- e-seeker; r. re-elect- ed anti-Mormo- anti-Mormo- n n ex-do- catcher, at, etc., and Bill Shuwell of city scavenger fame. The respectable solid citizens with sense and business interests are either openly opposing the K. Ks. or leaving them severely alone. A ticket like this is about the one for the K. Ks. It would be fairly representative of the rank and file of the party: For governor. Bill Showell; for secretary of state, P. J. Daly; for justice of the Supreme court, Peter Lochrie; for state treasurer, Sam Galeazzi; for auditor, Gea R. Hancok; for superintendent of schools, Henry Health (not ex-Populi- st, ex-Sociali- st, the well-know- n Henry Heath) ; for at- torney general, Granny McDowell; for district judges, Geo. L. Nye, the writer of legal opinions, J. E. Darmer, J. R. Morris; for congress, Charles Mostyn Owen; for coroner, whose services will soon be needed for the party, C. E. Offenbach. There is a fine personnel for a K. K. ticket. J Jt Which of the K. K. magnates was it that tried to run a lodging house on State street but the venture soon needed the coroner? The same man made his headquarters at a cigar store on Main street below Second South and the business bust. He then transferred himself to a cigar store on Main street above Second South. It bust too. Then he was associated with another place where the weed is sold on Second South. It was a failure too. Then he branches out for himself in a club room. The club room soon was non eat His next venture was in the sporting room of a West Second South street cigar store. That pulled down its blinds also. He was elected to a public office but soon the office was abolished. He was a hoodoo at the headquarters of a recent gubernatorial candidate. He is now with the K. Ks. What can be? Only a job for the corthe result oner. " That is the kind of men that form a large, very large, percentage of the K. Ks. If the K. Ks. will only keep them for good, it will be a godsend to the Republican party. I have no use for a man who cares more for the defeat of a member of his party who belongs to another faction than he does for the defeat of the common enemy the Democrats. Theodore Roosevelt. The following named are just a few of the old stalwart Liberals, men of substance and standing in the community who are against this movement: C. S. Varian, M. H. Walker, Chris Diehl, O. J. Salisbury, Judge W. C. Hall, Judge C. S. Zane, W. P. have them, but it was no used. Jake doesnt belong to the K. Ks. He is too faithful a Republican to belong to an organization, the avowed object- of which is to defeat the party so dear to his heart. Not for Jake. He values the Liberal relicts too highly to allow them to be prostituted to any such purpose, and wasnt backward in saying so, either. & & Its nothing new for Kearns to be a bolter. He bolted the Republican ticket in 1896. So did Manager Lipp-maof the Tribune. - n. re-ele- ct a business trip to Idaho.' He says that state will go Republican by Dubois foolery is 10,000 majority. playing havoc with the Democratic party in Idaho. Such flocking to the Republican standard he never saw before. The judge also says in Cache and Boxelder counties things are looking bright for the Republicans. The people there have no use for the K. K. movement. The northern part of the state will, the judge thinks, give 2,000 majority for the Republican ticket. & The Tribune is making a bitter fight on the Republican ticket, especially on Mr. Cutler, the head of it. The editorial columns contain many mean flings at him and his business. We should like to known if in the estimation of the Tribune a woolen mill owner is not just as respectable as a miner. Mr. Cutler has built up a successful and very extensive business by his own ability and . hard work, while the owner of the Tribune accidentally stumbled on his wealth. Mr. Cutlers abilities transcend those of Mr. Kearns in every way and his char- acter and integrity are above reproach which is more than can be said of Mr. Kearns. Cutler stands well in the business world and there is no doubt he would be a good governor. The other candidates are men of standing and ability. There is absolutely no reason why any Republican should not vote the ticket straight. What a very ungrateful person this chap Kearns is, to be sure. After having been elected senator, an honor that would have come to him nowhere else; save in this state; after having been given a free hand by the president in the matter of appointments which he used to pay. his political debts at public expense without refe ence to the welfare of the Republican party, he abandons the party that made him and seeks to destroy it. Ingratitude, Tom, is the most base crime we have in the category. A man may do a whole lot of things that are mean and contemptible) but when it comes to smiting the hand that has bestowed favors, that is an offense most people will never forgive. To throw bricks at the person who has lifted a man up from the gutter and set him on his feet is about the meanest, most petty, dirty, contemptible thing a fellow can do. Why, Tom Kearns, you ought to pray without ceasing until death seals your eyelids, for those who made you a senator. Strip you of your wealth and what are you? Just a plain clod hopper with nothing but animal strength to7 carry you through. Dont you know it? Of course you do. You recall the days when you were broke.
