In the first place and before tho the matter goes gocs an any farther let lel it be understood un nfl that the party organization and the men who control it are not at t all afraid of or the insurgents The latter have been treated with much fairness in the tho past because every possible opportunity was intended to tobe tobe be given them to correct the error of or their ways was get into inlo the ranks quit fighting Republicans and anti help conquer con quer the common enemy or enem or enemies as we wo happen to have havo them hero here in Utah 4 No one is afraid of them and they are aro ro going to find that that out all sum mer iJ r.- r. if I I NOT r A PERSONAL l IA MATTER jO I j I jI O 0 There is no personal antipathy to tho the men engaged in the insurgent movement They are for tho most part and with the exception of drunken drunk drunk- en spokesmen at the Saturday night meeting who put all of them on record rec rec- rec- rec ord excellent ord-excellent excellent fellows For the most part they are arc le of or controlling each his bis own vole For the most part they aro are able to earn carn their own liv liv- ings Some Somo of them never have bave asked for public office Others have asked I aud and have received it being supported In that desire by br the very men against whom the they now wage wago war war war-a a war that thatis is fur more harmful to themselves and more discreditable to the Republican party part than It possibly can be to the themen themen themen men the they assail They Ther have haye been making a good deal a of noise these

been voting oUng the tho Republican can ticket et all aU tho the time and others voted against Frank Knox and in more recent elections have openly I stated that the they voted the American I party ticket Their records are perfectly perfectly per per- known and tho the story of it will make mighty interesting reading through the rest of the summer Some of thorn them have havo private reasons for their action personal action personal animosities that never should bo be permitted to hamper the progress of the party Some with exaggerated opinions o otheir ol of their own deserts have hare not been able abl to convince any anyone one else of their greatness greatness great ness and that le leaves wes a n thorn to rankle in little minds u I I T THEY EY ARE ARC O ON RECORD I Ir I I r I IO Io O O 0 OThe The only thing new that the they have done dono is to go on record They Ther havo for the most part been for Cor years just whore where they are now And they have ha not riot grown an any stronger and the they are not going to do so They are capable of some little mOe injury to the party that has bas been good to them but they have I no political home bome The Tho Democrats wouldn't give gh-e a keg of beer for their entire vote yote and wouldn't trust them half a cit city block The American J crowd b by the mouth of the shrewdest man in it declares there is no room in the for the Insurgents Like LUte the Man Ian Without a Country the they have put themselves outside the pale 1 ale of political recognition and the they ar arnot are not nearly big enough to make an organization or or- of their of-their their own Their act of attacking the state Republican Republican Republican Re Re- publican committee is their open and overt act of party insurrection All their oral palaver of the Ule past might have been forgiven would would have havo been forgiven forgiven If if the they had bad evidenced the slightest willingness to be good But wh when n thoy meet In solemn session with witha a a prepared attack on the tho central committee of the state it is time to declare them Just what the they are are are- traitors to tho the Republican party Youcan Youcan You can read the names of them coupled with compliment In the Democratic and Kearns Kearus newspapers for the past five years You can measure the good they have been to the Republican party part b by bythe bythe the flattery they have received from opposition parties c t t p pI i I STATE CO COMMITTEE RIGHT I i iThe I IQ o Q p. p p 0 The state slate committee acted entirely within its right when it issued the call for fOl a S state meeting and prescribed pre- pre scribed the qualification of electors who should help belp select delegates to that meeting in May There is abundant abundant dant precedent for requiring that a aman aman aman man who helps helpa send a delegate to Chicago shall be he willing to support the entire Republican ticket If becan he be can not do that he should and pot not and if ii he be a fair man manwill will not not ask ask to take part partin in the tho primaries of the party The act of the tho S state committee was I I entirely right and proper I And if it were not IT IS THE ACT OF OP THE STATE COMMITTEE There is an allegiance owed by every Republican to tho constituted authorities author ties of the party No party part can succeed succeed suc sue if It its state committee is not to tobe tobe tobe be Indorsed in its actions Especially when that action is so eminently just and proper it Is the bounden duty of or every Republican lican to gi give it th th heartiest heart heart- iest lest aid and support That rhal Is denied by the insurgents They attack the orders of their organization or or- superiors and can no longer longo long long- o er or be he regarded as loyal to the tho party b because caus ibe they are i in a a state of Insurrection insurrection toward the party's qualified trusted and nd faithful directors The committee did right in issuing the tho call It did right In prescribing the qualification of electors who shall help send delegates to Chicago This paper Is the organ of the tho Republican party of Utah Wo Ve are bound in faith and loyalty to defend and sustain the state committee The Tho task is doubly certa certain n of accomplishment since every c action of that committee Is wholly and an entirely right and proper proper and and since nothing else would have haye been the part of at wisdom W WI I I I THEY SHIFT THEIR GROU GROUND D. D I IJ Id J d Tho The Insurgents are entirely out of their own record when they attack that portion of the state committees committee's call They didn't make any fight on I that passage in the call that phase of tho the state committees committee's call They from the first wanted the call to embrace embrace em em- brace a a. number of things not properly a part of the call caU and intended only to destroy an any semblance of party part integrity in in- in the conduct of ot tho the campaign rn They demanded that the call caB for the theMay theMay May 1 meeting be made broad enough I II I that 1 that Is 15 their own phrase phrase to to permit I I the discussion of any subject that any I delegate might want to bring brinE upon the i floor That was as foolish because the convention will discuss whatever hate topics top lea ics the tho delegates ates when hen assembled want to discuss and they will not give au audience ienco to any other And no call oC the el state te O P either e e ex extend tend tender or limit the tho range of or discussion by y the convention And the state committee com corn was aware of that even if tho tim Insurgents were not But Dut that was one of the demands made by 11 the tho Insurgents They wanted a resolution d declaring the tue congressional delegation delegation Senators S Smoot moot and andI I Sutherland and Congressman Howell Howell- Ineligible as delegates to the Chicago o convention con Tho They Thoy wanted to bring the I church question into discussion on the tho floor of or tho convention The They wanted to parade there the grievance of some members members and leaders of leaders of the insurgents insurgents insurgents gents against Tho Mountain Inter Re rio- publican I O 0 O OI I CO CONTENT TE T WITH ANYTHING J j jI I J Io I t tO 10 O O p pOne One by one the they were driven en from each ench of oC these positions and the they finall finally finally fin fin- all ally asked for just a semblance of recognition expressed in lu the assurance assurance assur assur- ance that the May Ia meeting would dig die cuss c an any matters that might properly properly prop erly be brought before it Tho They didn't want that because any improper matter mat ter would be forbidden on the floor of the tile May Ia meeting They knew every overy matter that might properly be bo brought before the convention could be brought there thore just as well without the use of those words In tho the call as with them But It had bad been a dr dry time timo with the Insurgents and they wanted some some- thing They were satisfied with yo very 1 little Ittle So the they pretend the S committee committee com corn made a concession to them in incorporating those words WONS Any matter that ma may properly be bo broughT before the convention The Tho truth ortho of or ho tho matter is they got there just what they are In the habit of getting b by themselves an and without the help of the men they are righting fighting NOTH NOTH NOTHING O H ING But if it comforts them let then them sUU claim had oven een a little influence with the state com corn And the patent all admission mission of the Insurgents In that tile tho they gained nothing by their long-heralded long case before the state committee Is the fact that hero bero in their public address they entirely abandon their original contention and attack the tho committee on wholly bolly new ground ground and and ground where the state committee is absolutely and entirely entire safe o O 0 t WHERE HERE DISCIPLINE FAILED I II I 1 O a 0 O Parties can not exist without or or- Tho The state committee is selected to attend to the business of the party part er E Every very member of the party is free to counsel and advise members of or the state committee Every Republican Republican Re Re- publican has a right to go before the state committee whenever it meets and pr present sent his case make such requests requests requests re re- re- re quests as in his judgment will be for forthe forthe forthe the good of the part party But no Republican Re publican alive aUe has bas a right to afterward attack the tho action of that committee AND NO REPUBLICAN WILL LL i As to the demand of tho the state committee committee com corn that electors eJectors voting yoting for delegates delegates dele dele- gates to o the Ma May meeting shall be willing to pledge the their r support to the entire Republican ticket the tho action Is both wise and warranted b by abundant dant precedent The call for a like convention in this state in 1900 contained con con- tamed a provision that those voting for delegates to the state convention which sent delegates delegate to the tho national convention must pledge to support the Republican candidate forthe for
