Republicans of Utah are properly grateful to enemies, under whatever name, for the continued Interest in the affairs of the Republican party.

That would be the first step toward the rehabilitation of the Kearns crowd in control of the state, and the domination of that outfit through Dubois and his kind, over Idaho and Nevada. It would be a horseblock for Tom Kearns; and the next morning he would be in the saddle. The Herald placidly smooths its vest and New York Office, 604 one Building, Opposite Waldorf- Astorib.

MAKE remarks it was always opposed to the election of Mr. Smoot, believing that his victory would be the signal for or "all the internecine war that has been waged." And the Herald doesn't believe that, nor anything like it. The election of any man in Utah not subservient to Tom Kearns would have been followed by precisely the same malignant and traitorous warfare as we have seen. It isn't a matter at all personal to Senator Smoot. It is a result of Kearns losing control of the state.

More than others the advancement of the state is grateful. More than other men such an one comes to love the Reporters tell of the organization of a club of native sons. One of the purposes of the membership is to "boost" the state of Utah, and the inter-mountain region. They have an especial reason. Other men may like the state. But it is home to the native son; and he will speak well for her even if he has to lie-which he doesn't.

And every year the circle of young human lives bowing in homage to him is widening. He has grown beyond the limits of the nation he builded, the continent) which gave him birth.

That defamation would have been started, and would have been kept up just the same, unless the choice of the defamers could be accepted by the people of Utah. It is clearly a case of the Kearnsites declaring they will ruin the state if they are not allowed to control; to send their own choice to the senate, and to fill the offices with their pets.

We are particularly amused at the Herald's assuming the position of councillor and adviser for the Republicans. In the course of its decorous but not deceptive effort, the Herald declares there is no foundation for the expressed belief that Samuel Newhouse will be a possible candidate of the combined Democratic and American parties for the United States senate; that such stories are ‘foolish.' We don't see the foolishness. When has a Demo-| erat declined to be the candidate of the two parties? When has a Demoerat acted as if he felt uncomfortable and away from home in the Kearns party? Mr. Bransford disports in that element as if it were his home. And he called himself a Democrat to the day of his election.
