Show E. Ptenmrer for the Pall Guy Smoot and Morris S-ome Elders arid Councilmen. & ' t fiilir wfltiiig Dr. Charles G. Plummer is rilfefotf fdr fftfe etfttft Honor of a Sriiootlte nomina-tfolf nomina-tfolf for nfdySr". ilhbltion plays strange tricks frff inWis rjotf&rS of reasoning and deduction, ijbffotless ' Dr. Ttffnrheri vrtio In ordinary matters Is sane and I6vel-headed, has been bamboozled Into the hallucination that he can and will be olSoEtfu. Any victim of a stark, raving delusion llf d fit object of public sympathy, and Dr. Plum-ifleY Plum-ifleY IS particularly so, for he is an average good cftlfecTn and man of standlrig in the community. D?! Plummer will not be elected. He will not be second in the" race. The despicable federal rntfdftrfe1, which has tricked him into making a fiffroflSal' race, does not Intend that lie shall be elected. It intends to exert every influence in Its fftJWeT" fdr the election of Richard P. Morris, the l5erBbCtatlc nominee. In doing so it will be caltfylfrg oiit the orders of the Brlgham street p'rlftta. jfftfn' Bfalfirortf, the American nominee, will be dlctfetl. "Dibit" Morris; by virtue of the chutiSlt support' wHlCtt bre Will' get, will take second sec-ond nTSney. Df. Plummer is fated for the tall end for the same inglorious position which W. J. Lynch found himself in when the votes had been counted in 1905. But when the political microbe gets into the brain of a man, there is no use reasoning with him. Dr. Plummer has lived a long time In this corifni unity; he ought, by this time, to be acquainted ac-quainted with the desperate, unscrupulous and ftteacli6rous ways of the Mormon church in poli-'tfctf; poli-'tfctf; and, if he cannot grasp the logic of the present situation, it would be worse than hopeless hope-less for ariy friend to attempt to point it out to Kim He is twenty-one years old and possesses more than ordinary intelligence. There Is no statutory enactment to prohibit him from making a monumental monkey of himself. The Inspired idiot Wlio occasionally brays that "Reed Smoot Is taking no hand In this light," has beon forced to take a vacation. The Provo apos-. apos-. tie Is sftfevnu1tfg nluch1 of ' his time in Salt Lake, and, whtsh' ho IsnH hero, lid is close to a long distance dis-tance telephone wire, over which ho communicates communi-cates several times a day with the "fussy" aggregation' aggre-gation' off paCPlOts in the federal building. Smoot didn't take kindly at first to the proposition propo-sition that the church should support "Dick" Morris for mayor. He is sore at Morris for the result two years ago, and it took considerable" reasoning on the part of the Lord's Anointed In the Beo Hive house to convince him of the ne-, ne-, cessity of getting in bed with Morris this time. Last Friday afternoon a week ago yosterday J ' It has been reported that Smoot stood on Second South street and, to a group of Mends, aired his grievances. "If it hadn't been for the d d Deseret News," there never would have beGri ahy American party." If ho blasphemed the inspired organ of the LoM It Atfas because of its attitude two years ago, When Apostle Penrose, then its editor, put an everlasting crimp in W. J. Lynch. But Smoot now, In common with the rest of his brethren, sgob the logic of supporting Mr. Morris, which adds to the prospect of Dr. Plummer's undoing. The Democrats of the Third ward have re- Frank R. Christtnsen, Secretary American Party nominated Councilman F. S. Fernstrom. If reelected, re-elected, he will be inflicted on the city for four more years, for he has been nominated for tho long term. A more servile church jackal than Fernstrom novbr sat In the olty counoll. So long -as" thjt church interests are not involved, he regards any j proposition which may come before the council as legitimate prey, and any interest which has business to do with tho council must reckon with Fernstrom. |
