Show INDECENT JOURNALISM. Prior to his election as United States Senator, the Tribune persued Mr. Sutherland with all the venom of a baffled Boss. It was more on account of Senator Sutherland that the Tribune started B t 1 i.li its new party movement than lor any other one jHg i a J . thing. The hate of the Tribune chief owner be- K 111 'lii gan ong ago In Washington when the now sen- Bi I f Ifi ator was a Representative, Senator Kearns dl- j 1 if ! rectly interfered with the Representative's pre- Hftj V I S lip rogatlvos. He did his best to insult and humili t 11 ill1 ate hIm lie camo Dack ast summer determined B i I Iff jn' to defeat him for Senator if money and abuse HE I j!f f could accomplish that end. They both failed mis- H i I I j i " erably, but now the abuse goes on. The Tribune B ' I I U has begun to copy from the outside press opln- B 1 If; ions of Senator Sutherland, opinions formed sole- BB 11 ly on the Tribune's misrepresentations. It seems HHj all very petty to tlie disinterested reader, for it B A ' It not only cannot harm Mr. Sutherland, but it hurts B !' ' ' the cause which the Tribune seeks to advocate. E f! The marvelous part of all is that the Tribune Bj , ' ij does not seem to consider that people will com- E1; 'I pare the title which Senator KearnB holds for his Bl commission as Senator with that of Mr. Suther- Rjit I ' land, while the dullest man in Utah knows that K , i could Senator Kearns have won by any hook or Hjl i I:t crook, he would not now be worrying over trades H I or over church domination, or any other cause ot Hi ! 1 1 I friction in Utah. There is not one string on Sen- B ator Sutherland ; he has never made an expressed H E or implied promise which curtails in the least his Hi j I !' j actions' or influence for the good of Utah or the Mi! I country, in his high office; the state understands Hi'! I j H perfectly the animus of the Tribune in its per- H I 1 1 ' I suit and persistent abuse of the Senator, and H ; 1 1 i hence all that abuse amounts to is to serve a no- HJ ! 1 1 j tice on the state that the Tribune is not, anxious f fill to serve the state, or to conform to the limitations Bgj I 11 1 of decent journalism-, but merely to advertise the Hfi I I i f loves and hates and vagaries of a vicious hut baf- Hj I I lied Boss. |
