Show "They Failed." i 'in Its Saturday's edition the democratic demo-cratic 6r(?nn sald"the only elfort made at the democratic state convention was one to Kcta plank against consolidation con-solidation Inserted in the platform. That effort failed." If Heed Smoot and the republican ticket are the only enemies of the Agricultural Ag-ricultural CollcKC, how does It come that that effort failed? What was the matter with Barber the all powerful, power-ful, Ncbcker the spieler. Mousou the manipulator, Owen the Spartan? Where weic those other forty-seven democratic stalwarts from Cache county? Why did the democtalic legislative bunch fall when among their own friends, members of their own party? How does It come that the Cache demouiatlc quartette among democrats, "hundreds of whom were filendly to the A. C," failed in their efforts to get into the platform a plank favorable to the A. C? Were the distinguished Cacheltcs suddenly palsied? Old anyone hear any thun-derutis thun-derutis roar-fiom the wise men from the nortli on democratic state convention conven-tion dav? The democratic organ sajs an cffoit was made to get into the platform a plank favorable to the A C. Who made the effort? Is thcic any record of any great tight made by the demo-ciatlc demo-ciatlc delegation fiom Cache? Did Mr. Barber make one of those spellbinding spell-binding speeches? It certainly did not appear in any of the Salt Lake papcis. Did Hon. !'. K. Nebcker make one of his incomparable pleas? Did he thunder, roar and bulldoe the delegates? Is there, any evidence at all that the Cache democrats, either one of 'em or all, went down there to light for the college, first, last and always? al-ways? No. there Is not And rogaid-less rogaid-less of what they went to do, Is there any evidence that they accomplished anything? Instead, they failed. According to the ncmocratlc organ, hundreds of delegates weic friendly, a friendly resolution was Introduced, and there were present to champion the cause tho four extraoidlnarlly able men whom the Cache democrats desire to send to tlie legislature. Yet "the effort failed." Doesn't It seem queer, Mr. Voter? Under the circumstances doesn't It seem peculiar for the democrats demo-crats to claim that the salvation of the college lies only In democratic hands? In fact, doesn't the result of the democratic state convention Itidl-Ue Itidl-Ue that DK.MocitAcv, rAther than re-pubi.:anism, re-pubi.:anism, Is agalnstr the college? Doesn't It appear that If the democratic demo-cratic legislative tiexct was unable to accomplish anything with democrats in convention, they would be far less likely to accomplish good in a legislature legisla-ture that is certain to be composed largely of republicans and Americans? Think it over, Mr. Voter. |
