Show If this judicial scandal has no other effect, I however, it will probably prevent, to some extent I at least, the efforts of the machine to make the judiciary one of Its cogs-. In other state except I I Utah, where anything that happens in politics cremates crem-ates scarcely a thrill, the expose of the Spry-Bree-den-Hovell incident would have resulted in a wave of indignation which would have swept out of office of-fice every man connected with it. In 1894, when David B. Hill made his last race for Governor of New York, he was overwhelmed with a landslide of votes cast by people who were outraged by his attempt to foist onto the bench one Maynard, who had given evidence that as a jurist he was subject to machine control. This, too, in a state where public sentiment is not supposed sup-posed to be particularly high-toned. In ' Utah, while it will be condemned for the moment, and may make those who perpetrated the offense more cautious In the future, it Is likely to be condoned con-doned at the polls, because it is the "Lord's will." It will not, however, be condoned in Salt Lake county. |
