Show A PALPABLE FAKE. Apostle Smoot, in Thursday's News, tells in public letter how good a man he is, how disinteA ested, how he hajLJiever used his apostolic influ-weeto-jrowxtfown any one or make one one throwytfp 1ft was adroit In the Apostte to wait Hflifalhe eyr?? the primaries before he became inulgnanXenough over the slanders hurled at him o becofeoexcited and to rush Into print. He declares de-clares that he is not a boss, that he has never sought to dictate nominations. ' He should put a muzzle on his friends. They are proclaiming that he found and made Mr. John Cutler a candidate for Governor; that he did It, too, not as plain Reed Smoot on a rustie for his friend, but as Apostle and Senator Smoot, to do so both from God and through virtue of his exalted office. When this is denied, and the question is aaked, "Who evsivthought of John Cutler ior the Governorship until the Apostle found him?" the defondors of the Apostle become dumb. Go to, Mr. Smoot. You held the hope to Mr. Canister's lips until you saw it "was too much for tho people, then broke it to his heart and named John Cutler. And not the least paltry of your acts Is the coming out on the evening of the primaries in Mr. Cutler's interest and in a tone of simulated sonow explaining: "Thou can'st not say I did it." |
