" chances uv my succeeding myself into a cocked hat? I never done Smoot nor his dirty church no harm till they begin ter do me an now Im after em. S. F. I notice that Mr. McCornickj I confess, Senator Kearns, that I can not understand you; I can net fathom your mode of reasoning. You say your American party is not opposed to the Republican national ticket and yet your party has not even endorsed the states Republican electors; and, on the contray, is fighting them in every possible way. If you are not opposed to the ticket you are certainly not doing anything to help it on. S. D. What I would like to hear is one sane reason for the existence of American party. this S. K. You gents dont comprehend the signification in the Mormon church in politics er youd say me little American party is all right. S. F. Will Senator Kearns go on afld give us a statement? .S. K.

Why, ever since I bought er, I mean that is ter say, Ive oppositioned the Mormons ever since I cum ter the d state. S. D. If I remember rightly. Senator Kearns, ycu had a good word for the Mormons about four years ago. S. K. Hell! I should say I did! But how was I ter know that Smoot was goin ter turn to and knock the 0TR dont call If he haint a mon hes pretty d d near bein' one, and the same with the other fellers youve mentioned. I want ter say weve got every reputable Gentile but Powers in Utah in our ranks, an hell be with us in ten minutes after he is defeated next month. Hell! McCor-nic-k a Gentile! Why, dammit, his place of business is just across the street from the Deseret National bank an the president of that banks a Mormon with seventeen and a half wives. S. F. Well, Senator Kearns, we will be jn Evanston in a few. minutes now, and so we will be compelled to discontinue for the time being this very interesting conversation. Before we do so, however, I want to tell you candidly that in my opinion you made the mistake of your life when you bolted and formed your new party, and I can assure you President Roosevelt feels the same. You have, not advanced one sane nor sound reason for your party's .existence. Smoots a Mormon, an he cant do a d d thing without his church tells him to go at it, and in the second place he baint fit fer a senator no how, an he couldnt a been elected tiil helld froze over if the d d church didnt take up the matter and force it his way. S. F. and S. D. I hope you S. K. so-call- ed ator. Suther- land and other prominent Gentiles are not in sympathy with your new party, but are standing firm and true in the Republican ranks. They are certainly opposed to church interference in politics; why do they not join your Jt.jt But say, Senator Smoot, it was really too bad. You should not have acted so, for you know as well as anybody how sensitive and refined our senior senator is.
