Show THE REAL CAUSE. i!fl The Impression is quite general among politl- 9 clans that the nomination of John C. Cutler in the fl Republican convention was the occasion for the fl Tribune's bolting the Republican party. People fl who are more acquainted with the Inwardness of M Tribune affairs, however, know that the bolt had 'H been pending for some time and the Tribune jfl would alive slipped the Republican leash even If 'jfl Wells or Hammond had been nominated for the M governorship. jjfl Two weeks before the Republican state con- ' ','M vontlon Manager Joseph Llppman had written an ' jfl editorial bolting the Republican ticket, and was j H only restrained from publishing It at that time at '9 the earnest solicitation of prominent -Republicans. j fl The nomination of Mr. Cutler merely furnished t j fl the exouse the Tribune had been waiting for to fl break away from its Republican moorings. The fl real oause for tho bolt was the defeat in Sanpete m and Millard counties of Mr. Kearns' candidates jH for the legislature. That reverse obliterated Mr. fl Kearns' hope of returning to the Senate, so the H great patriot, apostle of Americanism and politi- fl cal purity, decided to reap a sweeping revenge by H using his organ to defeat the Republican noml- Ifl iioos. HH These are facts which Gentile Republicans i MM should ponder over before casting their ballots for H the nominees of Mr. Kearns' American Adjunct to fl the Democratic party. H Before his rebuff In the two counties to the H south, Mr. Kearns' was very magnanimous on the ,B subject of the g6vornorshlp. To two gentlemen ,' fH who approached him in the interests of Secretary ( flH Hammond, Senator Kearns stated that he consld- j H ered it the right of the churoh to name the gov- ' H ornor, and that he would support any man for the 9H position whom tho church desired. IH And this Is the man who, according to his own 'fl organ, is the "head of the American party" the wH membership of which pledged its life, liberty, prop- H erty and sacred honor to forever fight Mormon H church Influence .In politics Bfl How do Republican Gentiles like the Ameri- Jfl can party banquet when they catch the echo of 91 the snicker behind the scenes from the Machiavel- jnfl llan chef who prepared It? wfl |
