party-he he would accept acS ac ac- ac S S the situation without a struggle A seat in the United States senate I is a pretty desirable place for any man Mr Newhouse is fully conscious S of or the honor involved Why shouldn't he be acc accept pt an assured election at the hands of the Democrats and American party part party party-if i if they had any assurance to toS S give him I The Herald doesn't want Senator Smoot to be a candidate for re xe And while the disinterestedness and sincerity of that utterance from that source can not be at all gainsaid yet r one is not compelled to believe the Heralds Herald's assertions unless they are supported by reason For example That paper states that if SenatorS Senator S Smoot would retire from the race the dissensions In the Republican party would inevitably be healed and the 1 Republican party reunited and strong S would go forward to assured victory S Of course that is what the HeraldS Herald S wants but before Senator Smoot Is forced to retire for the Heralds Herald's accommodation accommodation accommodation ac ac- ac- ac let Jet us ask why the assertion as of peace Is made We dont don't at all nIl believe that Senator Smoots Smoot's declining to make the race I again will placate the faction that has bas been In arms against the Republican party o of Utah and the Republican party in the nation We dont don't knowS know S whether or not the senator Is going to toS tomake make the race again and dont don't greatly S care excepting care excepting that we know he has hasS S made an admirable senator In every way The Republicans o of Utah are choosing their own candidates and the people of ot Utah are electing their own f J senators Any Republican they select I Is acceptable I Our only point Is that Senator Smoots Smoot's retirement would make an end of tho the Kearn rebellion even eyen more difficult and more distant d than It Is now That action would be ho taken as asa as asa asa a concession to the power of or the Kearns faction It would be so 50 herald herald- heralded ed all aU over oyer the United States Staten o 0 0 o oI I I II I MAKE IAK THEM ARROGANT I 6 o Tom Kearns has finally put Reed Smoot down

rehabilitation of the Kearns crowd In control of the state and the domInation domination domination dom dom- of that outfit through Dubois and his kind over oyer Idaho and Nevada It would be bo a for Tom Kearns and th the next morning he would be in the saddle The Herald placidly Its estand vest est and remarks it was always opposed to the election of Mr Smoot believing that his victory would be the signal for all tho the internecine war that has been waged And the Herald doesn't believe beHove that nor anything like It The election of any man In Utah not subservient subservient sub sub- servient to Tom Kearns would have been followed b 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 oC tho the state Ho He would have fought anyone else just as bitterly It is folly to sa say there Is anything pe peculiar ulfar in the character character character char char- acter or personality of oC Reed Smoot on which this malignant fight hinges Tom Kearns has hag no Implacable hatred against Reed Smoot He was a n friend of or Reed Smoot before the election of the latter and at least pretended that he was getting Smoot delegates to the convention that nominated candidates for or the legislature that elected Smoot to o the senate He was really trying to give the double

PelT or Dave Keith The fight doesn't depend on the presence presence of Reed Smoot in the field and it ft would by no means be ended by his getting out of the field ThankIng Thanking Thanking Thank Thank- ing the Herald for its unselfish concern concern concern con con- cern in tlc the matter we dont don't believe its argument nt is good or Us premise sound i v v vJ J MAKES CURIOUS STATEMENT II I b 0 o Also we view with question the Heralds Herald's further statement that the Herald is glad to have Mr Smoot remain remain remain re re- re- re main before the tho people so that the slander and defamation of the state abroad may go on We e dont don't think the Herald approves that campaign of slander against Utah which has been the motive of life Ufe for the Kearns news news- papers That defamation would have I been started and would have been kept up just the same unless the choice of the defamers could be accepted accepted ac ac- by the people of Utah It is c clearly earl a case of the declaring declaring de de- claring daring they will ruin the state if they are not allowed to control to send their own choice to the senate and to fill fiU the offices with their pets Of or course that Is is' blackman blackmail pure and andI simple but it is the system on which the thc Kearns campaign campal has been prose prose- If If they are not allowed to rul rule the state they will ruin the the stafe And for four fur years the they have bave been trying to make inake that threat good Any I I state with less intrinsic merit than I I Utah would have been reduced to a condition of territorial government long ago n A 1 1 DESPOILER OF OP HIS HOME TI I Ii 0 i tt i iThe 0 I I The cause of the dissension in Utah is Tom Kearns The man responsible for Cor the loss of ot this city to the Republican Republican Republican lican party Is Tom Kearns The man whose efforts have haye resulted in Imparting impartIng imparting impart impart- ing a a. wrong Impression to the people of other states is Tom Kearns The of the people of Utah Utah Utah-as as good gooda a people as ever lived anywhere is Is Tom Kearns Ho He has done more to hurt Utah done more to defame the people whose money makes him rich more to prejudice the world against this state state- in which his home is safe than any other othel man and alive and probably probably probably ably more than all the rest combined The warfare did lId not come because of Reed Smoots Smoot's election and it would by no means abate by his bis retirement It began hegan before he came and it will continue after he is gone There are two ways either of which can stop stol the thc flood of harmful utterance from the Kearns agencies One is to surrender to Kearns and ask him graciously to take tale command of or the people rule them and pocket the thc profits The They could buy lUy silence on those terms In a minute The other Is for all the men who have been Republicans to be Republicans again and stop giving aid and ana comfort com corn fort to the enem enemy Stop making treason profitable profitable and and fashionable |
