Show WHO ARE DEPUTIES? H In its, shamoloss warfare upon Mr. Sutherland, H the Tribune counts upon the forgetfulnoss of Its H readers. When Mr. Sutherland was in .Congress, H Senator Kearns continually went out of his way to H Insult him and to neutralize his influence It is H an understood prerogative of Representatives to H name for the President's consideration candidates I for the sost offices of the states. Senator Kaarns H interferred in this and the Tribune exultingly pub- I lished that Mr. Sutherland's candidate for the Og- I den postofflce had been turned down and Mr. H Kearns' candidate had been appointed. It was so H through all Mr. Sutherland's term. Mr. Kearns H was determined to be the political boss of Utah H and that only his appointees should havo any H Utah office. And no matter what excuses the I Tribune now offers for its opposition to Mr. Suth- I erland, it is moved by no more honorable devices I or de:igns than to gratify the hate of Senator H Kearns for one who seems to have interfered B with effect in curbing the boss inclination of I the Senator. Willi every issues comes the asser- H tion that Mr. Sutherland, if elected, will owe his I election to Apostlp Smoot and be but a deputy H Senator. Now we happen to know that Mr. Suth- H orland has done quite as much hi the political field H for Apostle Smoot as tho apostle has over done I for him. H Runnlg the matter down, from the Tribune's H reasoning, then Mr Joseph Lippman is not United I States attornoy, but merely a deputy attorney un- I dor Tom Koarns! Mr. Hoy wood is not marshal, H but merely a deputy marshal under Tom Koarns, I that in fact neorly every federal office holder in I the state Is but a creature of Tom Kearns. One would think that Mr Lippman would see I that the paper under his management would fight shy of arguments of that knd, lost tho people I might conclude that no man in the state ever re- I ceived an office through Mr. Kearns' rocommen- I dation, that had not first pledged his fealty and his I manhood to the service of that same senator H |
