Show A HOT SHOT FROM HYRUM Man disgusted with I. C. Thoreson Takes a Whack at Olsen, too. Emiou Loha.v Kia-uiii.ruAN. Dear Sir. Pardon me for encioach-Ingon encioach-Ingon your valuable space, as I am notnowasubscilbcr. However, send me the paper at once; I want It because be-cause It is a defender of the people's rights. I am not a politician and have never mixed up In the political mire, but I have stood on the brink and seen and heard things that have made me sick at heait. When Oov. Wells and others held a political meeting heie.lt Is lepoited that one Hon.(V) ex-c. C. F. stated: "I wonder who was the author of the governor's speech?" Hy inquiry we lind that the same Individual who was the author of a paidon fiom the Utah State prison of a certain cer-tain honorable gentleman icsldlng within the confines of thli State was also the author of the governor's speech. It has now come to light how C. F. came to leave the g. o. p. Pres. I. C. Tliorcson wentafter him,saying:"Now C. F., vou have been an ardent and persistent vvoiker for your party, and what have you got for it? They have even dischaiged vou from being precinct pre-cinct chaiiman. Now take my advice and leave the party and join the democrats;! dem-ocrats;! will make It Interesting for you. I am going to receive the nomination nomi-nation and I w ill be elected to the office of-fice of Secretary of State. I will take you In and make of you my chief cook and bottlewasher In my suite of looms at the County and City building. You shall be my confidential clerk." C. F. bit, but alas, all hopes have explicd. The way Pres. I. C. T. is unholdltnr and defending caielessne.ss and possible possi-ble coiruptlon of public officials is a corker, and he, who should be a father of the people. The father who teaches teach-es the people such doctiine educates them for fiaud, dishonor and the pen-Itcntiaiy. pen-Itcntiaiy. Had Pres. I. C. T. received the nomination and been elected Secretary Secre-tary of State, he would have told Pres. Parkinson: "I herewith leslgn my position in the presidency of this stake. Henceforth 1 will be the Secretary Sec-retary of State, and my chum C. F. will be my chief clerk." You will also have to find another person if you can, to lill his place In the Sunday school. The same icmarks and leslg-natlon leslg-natlon would also be given to the boaid of directors of the business firm in which he is luteicslcd. The question naturally arises, docs not a person acting, doing and saying in public and private that which Is cieditcd to I. C. T., overstep his bounds, both in an ecclesiastical and a business way? Does he not care more for the honor of a political otllce than for his ecclesiastical position? Docs he not caie more for covering up faults of his political brcthicn than the success of the business Intrusted to his care? Of course ho will say, "It Is none of your business," and yet It Is; public utterances are public property. I have been taught to love, honor and respect those In authority over me, but when men stoop to such contemptible methods as referred to above I will have no moie to do with them either lellglously or coinmci-clally. coinmci-clally. If Pres, I. C. T. really was what people naturally look for in a person occupying such exalted position, he would have acted differently at the County Convention. Mr. N. W. Crookslon was placed In nomination for sheriff and Pies. Thoreson could have had him nominated just by ciooking his little finger. Hut no, it was ciooked for the other fellow. Mr. (Jiookston Is a man that would easily have been elected, becauso he has proved to bo capable, courageous, honest, hon-est, upright and strictly moral. Ho has been weighed in the balance and not found wanting. All loveis of older, molality and the strict enforcement enforce-ment of law would have voted for him, but that did not Milt Pies. T. who seemed to be the whole cheese at the convention. He prcfeied a pro-lesslonal pro-lesslonal baitcndcr and had such a person nominated for shcrill of Cache County. Yours respectfully, A tiuo friend to the people. Hyrum October 10, 1001. |
