This underground organization ther meet during the forepart of the week, in a down-tow- n ilding, at which they claim there was a large representation ithful and at which several new members were admitted to ight of the inner circle. anticipated that the Parkis is willin personnel of Utahs cy will listen to some glorifying orations and do some anat its annual Jefferson day function. Also it is freely pre-the Democrats are framing for a most intensive feeling that they have a grand opportunity to win igressional and senatorial seats at Washington and pos-spl- it the county vote to such an extent that some of their ;s will secure official plums in the city and county edifice, .me to The Citizen first hand, the other day, from the usual lean source, that among those who are being favorably men-- ; successor to the King senatorial toga are Aquilla Nebeker, hates marshall for Utah for the past eight years, and one lost worthy Democrats of the west, with a large political r at his beck and call. Other prominent Democrats mcn-- r the senatorial seat include such well known men as W. W. ldemar Van Cott, W. W. Armstrong, W. R. Wallace, W. J. , Judge S. W. Stewart. Frank Nebeker, Ashby Snow and oylance of Provo. With such a formidable array of willing Dcmo-- y rkers to choose from, it is opined that thcjmti-Kin- g trip over a few political snags before they can concentrate actions on anvy one of the readvy to serve crowd. lay particular stress on the fact that Senator h is in the past shown himself rather recalcitrant and has of his time at Washington to personal aggrandizement. nt to his obvious attempt, at the present time, to remain in .ight and to have his name appear as often as possible in press. In this regard they also point to the fact that he tyfstently advocated opposition to and personally opposed the it conference, in the success of which, they claim, the Demo-frt- y is as much interested as are the Republicans, if it means of the mad race to prepare for a future war and will de-- e general tax load. g the faction recall the efforts of Senator King to ie nation into war with Turkey and thev claim he has been jgly to sacrifice the young men of the nation in a clean-u- p i aimed against our sister republic, Mexico. They the nnot forget, much less forgive Senator King for his slight of President Wilson on the occasion of his at educa-mpaig- n, anti-Kingit- es de-lc- anti-Kin- m evi-r-iieditat- ed visit to Salt Lake when the League of Nations was the 'great issue of the impending national campaign. They claim King was peeved because he was left off the peace delegation that crossed the seas to attend the Versailles fiasco and that he took drastic action, at all times, following that event, to oppose the president and even to double-cros- s him as they term it. Since W. H. has worn the senatorial toga of Utah, the claim he has inflicted various slights and unwarranted treatment e Democrats of the state that cannot be easily conupon doned. They point to his slam at Judge S. W. Stewart, his evident dislike of David Evans of Ogden and also the terrible manner in which he dealt with a certain federal officeholder of this city, then and now accounted one of the best party workers in the state. Another phase of the anti-Kin- g campaign that is being shunted about, is a contemplated house to house canvass to acquaint the mothers of Utah with the alleged war ambitions of their junior anti-forc- es old-tim- senator. The antis claim that a large number of boys, who arc identified with the party, will go actively into this part of the camare said paign to oust King, once the word is given. The to be surfeited with war and declare, most vehemently, that they will oppose any candidate with a war voting prerequisite, who is at all favorable to another international melee. These boys, say the antis, arc quite familiar with Kings former desire to knock the star out of the Turkish crescent and make the Bosporus sea a summer bathing resort, and want to get into action against King at the earliest possible date. Here endeth the first lesson it is opined future announcements will be of a more definite character. ex-sold- ier ex-soldi- ers ex-sold- ier The difference between Article X of the dead League of Nations and the five power treaty is this: In the former we pledged ourselves to saw Europes wood and use none of it. In the latter we saw our own wood with the help of France and England. If the Democrats happen to think that the treaty ties us up snug and tight, like Article X would have done, they will vote to ratify. The people should worry what thev think or sav they think. And there is still another difference between Article X and the new live-pl- y treaty that should be told the public. Article X would have made the United States responsible if any of the Ralkan states decided to go on the warpath and invade neighbor states. The new treaty makes Great lritain responsible if Japan ever concludes to hop the Philippines or Hawaii. A reversal of form, so to speak, which nnv serve to keep a naturally predatory and ambitious Oriental nation lashed to the mast. |
