Show 1 i ; GET TOGETHER. H Tiik HnruiiLicAN believes that this H i Is hardly the time for newspaper hag- H I i gllriR about the Howell attitude, or H the "Smoot-Cutler machine'' attltudo H i toward thoAcrlcultural College. This H I is the tlmo to net together to pull for H that college. Tine Rei'uhlican pro- H scnted Mr. Howell's expression and If H when he comes homo ho shows ad Is- H. I position to back up his words, that H ' ought to bo sulllclcnt for the present. H' In view of the doubt of Mr. Howell's H -j attltudo heretofore, however, wo may H reasonably expect of him that ho shall H be aggressively rather than passively H interested In the wcllfaro of the col- H As to the so-called machine being in H J control of tho Republican party In H Utah, hide, hair and britches, as tho H Democratic organ would have tho H public believe, It may bo cited that In H tho last stato convention that com- H blnatlot) won out by less than ten H votes. Also that the delivery of H Cache votes was accomplished only H alter tho iiufjual I fiecl assurance that H the Agricultural College should not H ' sulfcr as a result of that delivery. H ' Tin: Rkpuiilican has oiTcred no H word that could be construed Into any H expression of doubt or criticism as to H ' the Cache Democratic attltudo toward H :j the college, and In a "half-hearted" H defenseiof Mr. Howell we only desired H I to make It understood that while Mr. H 1 Howell's Judgment may bo questioned, H there may bo a very largo rcasonablo H- doubt as to any disposition on his paro m to surrender to any comblnatlun to H tho extent of not resisting a movo H aimed at tho school Itself rattier than H its management. H This is hardly tho tlmo for rccrlm- H lnation among ourselves the wasting m good ninmunltlon that might bo H tired at the enemy to good ellect. m There U need of organization, of ac- H tlon, of tosterlng a determination to 1 win In this light waged to down the M Agricultural Collego as a separate In- m stltutlon from tho Stato University. M Business men of this city and county M must unlto and stand ready tp go to M any limit necessary; politicians must H necessarily be measured by their M friendliness to the college; Individual B men of Influence must Join In perfect- M lng plans of procedure. Only In un- 1 ity Is there strcngtli. H This Is to be a tight to tho finish, H not again President Kerr, not to cur- B tall courses at the collego and cripple 1 it beyond repair, but to removo tho H institution to Salt Lako city, which H in tho languago of tho Hon. R. W. M Young, "must now become a greater H Salt Lake." Tub Ukpuiiucan H would far rather sco this matter dls- H cussed calmly, honestly, fairly, and H the dlillculty settled on Its merits, but H tho Salt Lake contingency has mado H it so evident that it is merely a mat- H, ter of securing onomoro addition to- i ward a Greater Salt '.Lake, that the H peoplo of tho stato of Utah, whoso M institution to Agricultural Collego is, H must become aroused to tho situation. Ht What assurance has 1'rovo that Salt H' Lako will not want tho state Instltu- H i tion located there? What assurance H has Ogden that Salt Lako will not try H to wrest from her the Institution lo- ; cated there? H 'j Let us pass up any contentions H, t about what may have been and faco H ' conditions that are. If any forces H ' supposedly or really recalcitrant hre- H yjl tofore give proper evidence of being H S ' on tho rigtit sido now, lot us accept; M , this Is no tlrao for haggling. |
