Show Hi u i Combine of Cutler and Ctttter Wm f UaRes JVine Uailors to MaKe Ngf j a -Wan Loofe JLt'Ke Bf t JTtear JVonsenfe. mWm i Kf Bftjpilj With burnished helmets and clanking armor, H$fki! t the tailors of Utah have invaded the political Hff '"' field. All the old guards are aghast with amaze- BEL L ment and terror. The premiers of the shears H 'j p and thread propose to plunge into the turbid Hilf U J water of the political Yalu nd omarge with one HJg of lelr nuumber triumphantly enthroned as gov- Bi ernor. Hf' i At a meeting of the Amalgamated Army of Hll l ( Cutters, John C. Cutler, of tho Cutler tailoring in- Hji !l stitution, and Paul Smith, of a popular cleaning Br I company, were each nominated for governor, and n ! a violent and vituperative contest ensued. Cutler P Anally won, after his supporters had graphically B pictured his superior talents over Smith in the B ' adroit manipulation of unfractured English, his BL , flner suavity of manner, his staunch union sym- B ji; pathies, and the general superiority of his make- B (i, up, which was looked upon as a strong argument Hk in favor of the predominance jt tailors in the ,B i ' Republican politics of the state. WM$ Ip Mr. Cutler was nominated on a platform lH!i B' l i strongly denouncing Hart, Shaffner & Marx, the B eastern tailors, who have recently invaded the B local field and whose competition is threatening B the financial ruin of the waistcoat makers of local renown. B The full scope of the movement of the Amal- B i gamated Tailors has not yet been learned, but H the great favor with which Senator Smoot ap- H pears to greet the political aspirations of Mr. Cut- B, , ler has led to a strong sentiment in favor of plac- Hj1 fa ing an entire tailor ticket in the field. If this Hlri i , be done, it is thought that Paul Smith will be the Ci 'Hi unanimous choice for Secretary of State, on ac- B ii'L count of tht brilliant warfare he waged for Mr. wM Cutler's place at the head of the state ticket. B Wells & Stone appear to have a long lead in B the race for the nomination for State Treasurer. BH As they are close personal friends, members of B the Amalgamated Tailors' Society have suggest- B ed that the question be decided by a cutting con- B test, the winner to take the state treasurership B and anything else connected therewith that ap- B pears to be to his liking. The above has no refer- B once to cutting into the grape. B Friends of Ben Lobbenberg see in him the B ideal qualifications for State Auditor, and unless H the foot of this famous architect of masculine B ! attire happens to slip, it is probable that he will B be chosen for the place. They insist that in the BB matter of cutting down the state's expenses he Bfl would be vastly more successful, if possible, than BHh !' as a cutter in his present vocation. H There appears to be practically no opposition HB ' to John Dubei for State Superintendent of flB Schools, except in the country districts, where HHl l this distinguished sartorial artisan is not known. BB Had they been able to get into his debt for a HB ,j; few suits and then fled back to the suburbs, it is BBR ' I thought that this sentiment would be different. HHk I 1 Many other tailors of fame are being men- Hb ' tioned for various places on the state ticket, and flQ l it is believed that when Governor Cutler appoints (BBR1 ' V i as his staff a bevy of tailors, they will be the " HBB I most magnificent appearing body of officials who q8h til ever threw out a chest expansion under a militia B8Hk 'fl uniform. BflBB i Great anxiety is being shown among the Dam- s-s- $ ocratic politicians since the inception of this ' movement, and it has even been suggested by Wm some that it will be necessary to bring F. S. nnH i Ferns trom forward as the Democratic nominee TOiB j for Governor in order to split the tailor strength BBBB and stem the tide. It is not generally believed, jBB however, that anything so desperate will be re- bHBM ! sorted to. n i rpfAtoMnHMH ynBH |
