Show Bj ' ' K Strong County Ticket. H It Disturbs the 'Bolters. J Lippman9 s Hobgoblins. Hi 4 The Childish Tribune. B. if, ii,' The ' oung Sir Galahad who loads the forlorn HpljiiH hope of the legion of the lost ones sees in the fi'lfU nominations of Thursday's convention triple-dyed K ; : iniquities, grinning spatters, and looming over all Hlrji j I the awful silhouetted figure of Senator Smoot. If Rjff jj his nights were as darkly infested with night- Hfi mares as his days, Sir Galahad Lippman would HL! ! soon be patrolling the dreaded streets of Zion like Biijj y a haggard-eyed Diogenes. Ki nil P ''h It is a marvel in qerebral idiosyncraoies that Hff i anyone could conjure up so gruesome a spectacle HIjm out of the wholly peaceable and orderly conven- j i tion of last Thursday. Everything was conducted jHfif: in the most placid manner, and when the function Hfij !' was over, there was no sign of revolt or any indl- K I cation of serious dissatisfaction. In fact, Mormon HI Til and Gentile alike, and they were there in about !ii equal proportion, were enthusiastic over the work 'r)i of the convention, and strangely enough, none of J . them saw any of the hobgobblins which appeared HgSh ! to Sir Gjalahad Lippman and his watchful sleuths. HL ;! In reality if there was ever a convention held ';i; in the state which was practically free from ec- HL I ; clesiastlcal influences, it was the late county con- Hri vention. H'? i I The Tribune's wall to the contrary Is all f raud- Hjjij? i ulent, and indulged in to hide its chagrin over the K 1 I fact that the gentiles in the convention worked Hfy I hopefully and enthusiastically, and showed clearly MjjNlij their determination to be unaffrighted by the HfJ:f Kearns-Lippman scarecrow and to remain loyal to Hfijfk the regular Republican organization. Hijj The sheet be-slurs in school boy fashion the Hrf personnel of the ticket, the general excellence of which fills Sir Galahad with gloom. B.D.Miller, B ,,j; a strong and consistent Gentile, and whose only H ::v, offence, from the Tribune standpoint, is that he B ' was not fooled by the. Kearns-Lippman plot to Hqj: shatter the Republican , party in this state, is re-H; re-H; ferred to as a "pliant tool of the Smootites." The Mfe' office of county auditor, for which Mont Fisher Hjpl was nominated, was found to be purely clerical; H. I Percy O. Perkins, nominee for recorder, was Hi J merely nominated for a clerkship; the office of H county treasurer, for which W. O. Gorbis is the HujI nominee, is discovered to be "in no sense ad-H ad-H Jjj j ministrative." All of which Is a withering rebuke M j. to the Republicans, who of course should have de-H de-H j mandefr an extra session of the legislature to en-H en-H large the sope of these offices before -holding H I their convention. The offices of county attorney jlj and surveyor for which P. P. Christensen and J. Hj II B. Swenson, both Gentiles, were nominated, ar H rated so insignificant that the paper, to be con-Hill con-Hill sistent, should have recommended their abolition. Hff And then Por oW, honest Angus M. Cannon, of all B the prominent Mormons the most honored by Gen-M Gen-M tiles, )s represented as a towering and masterful HI incarnation of pent up ohurch influence. Hfi The spectacle of tit Tribune descending to I such pettiness is a mournful and pitiable sight, H d shows how childish Sir Galahad and his Hit hlred minlon8 Rre oncoming in their specialty of If chasing the phantom of a forlorn hope. |
