Show DRYAN COUID'NT, KING CAN'T. It. should be remembered that while Cache county can be represented In tho State legislature, It can not be represented in Congress. As icpre-scntatlvc icpre-scntatlvc In Congress Mr. Urvan may have made Lincoln, Nebraska, famous; but that was Ihyan. Then, while Lincoln obtained more prominence as Mr. ltryan's home town than it had as the capital of the state, wc have jet to learn that ho succeeded In causing the establishment of any government institution. Logan Journal. Vcaie willing to agree witli overstatement over-statement made in tho above, and beg to suggest that the article is one of tlic best arguments that could be made in behalf of Hon. Joseph Howell. If Mr. Uryan with all his superloi eloquence, elo-quence, political popularity and untiring untir-ing energy could not as Democratic representative In Congress bring to Lincoln and Nebraska anything moie substantial than piomineiicc, what is it that W. 11. King could do foi Utali vvero lie elected as representative'!1 The Demociats as a whole will concede con-cede that their party contains no gicater oiator, no greater political schemci, no man of gicater piomi-uence piomi-uence than W. J. llryan; jet thcie Is no recoul of gicat speeches lie made; no recoid of great things said or done; he Is not the author of great bills calculated cal-culated to lighten the buidcii of the people whoso cause ho claims to be championing; there Isnotliing to show-that show-that he was accorded any lccognition that the humblest In tho House could not have had for the asking. Still the Demociatlc picss Insists that W. II. King's mediocre ability as an orator will enable him to repiescnt the State of Utah better than any other man. The Insistence is so ildlculous as to be sympathetic. llryan couldn't secuie Recognition simply because ho was on the wiongsido of the fence, and for the same icason W. II. King, in this ovoiwhchuingly Republican Congiess, would bo "small potatoes and few in a hill." The votcis of tho State of Utah can better afford to send to Congiess Con-giess a man who undeistands the needs of the State fully as well as W. II. King and at the same time a man who can command tlic ear of the ad-luiuistiatlon'. |
