Show H "o B - " B E - H ST"- ? I 1 MR. MORRIS RECONSIDERS 1 H 3 Hi ;3 H S Lasl week this paper announced that an article by Mr. Nephi L. Morris, on the subject: -g B E "Why Can Not the Republican and the Progressive Parlies Get Tooclher?" would appear in 2 B sE today's issue. That statement was made because of Mr. Morris's acceptance of the invitation, 3 H gJE and his promise to submit the copy in time for today's Weekly. Evidently he prepared the or- 2 B tide in accordance with that promise, because lie repeatedly so slated to the editor of the 3 M E Weekly. 3 B S But he has changed his mind. Just why may bo gathered front the following lcller: 5 B TZ2 - s 3 H sE Mr. Lolloy Armstrong, 2 H eE oaro of Goodwin's Weakly, 2 M Salt Lako City, Utah. B 5 Doar Mr. Armstrong: S B. S .Wo have mado four or five attempts to reach you over the phono this after- ii B S noon but "could noL got a response. t' B S The rnoro I think of writing the article which ydu have asked mo for, tho mord zZ Hr SEE I bocomo convinced that the time is not opportune for opening a discussion on this jJ H HE subject. jS M E Thoro is no occasion at present for such a controversy, espooially in view of tho S wM 2 fact that tho fall campaign should bo, in my opinion, conductod on strictly noii- H E partisan linos. A discussion of national politics would only widon tho broach bo- H 2Z. twoon partisans and that should not occur just now. :2s H E I am also convincod that I should not bo drawn into a political controversy for iEi H 2 several roasons. Thoro would be two or thrco nowspapors who would take up the E5 H ZZ. other side of the quostion, providing it proved to bo worthy of thoir attention, and Ei H sE I bavon't tho time, evon if I had tho medium through which to spoak, to enter into Ei H IE any suoh discussion at present. Eg HI E I thoroforo most respectfully doclino to accept your vory courteous invitation 3 H( E and rogrot boing responsible for any disappointment which might arise becauso of 3 Hf E this declination. :S B, gE With kindest personal regards I beg to remain, :5 H 2E Yours very truly, ' Es I N. L. MORRIS, H H sE - I ' sE 'l is to ',c I'cgi'ollod. A calm, reasonable discussion of live topics by informed men always Es H should be encouraged.
