Show A PROVO HOT BLAST. The Provo Enquirer says of Judge O. W. Powers, democratic nomi nee for Congress: Orlando Powers, Pow-ers, onco tho leader of the old Liberal Lib-eral party, now seeks the votes vot-es of the people he so bitterly rought in days gone by. He threatens, In his speech In the democratic convention, that If they fall to elect him to Congress Con-gress Utah will have a constitutional amendment passed against It, notwithstanding not-withstanding the state normally Is republican. In his creat speech In Sunday's Herald ho again comsumes about seven columns in covert threats, that If a republican state does not elect him, a democrat, as its representative, repre-sentative, he will go back to tho old Liberal party and cause all sorts of evil to come upon the people. The fight that Kcarns and Dubois arc making Is an honorable one compared to the threats and Intiendoes that their partner Is making. For would it itot be safer to Know that a serpent was going to make an attack on you than to be compelled to hug one to jour breast to keep It from raising Its head to strike? "The night before Judge Powers received re-ceived tho democratic nomination for Congress he was In consultation with the leaders of the so-called American party until after midnight. This Information In-formation comes from his official organ, the Salt Lake Herald. If 'ho was not giving these leaders advice and helping help-ing them to plot for the new movement, move-ment, could he not have told them In a few moments that he would have nothing to do with It? Hut the contrary con-trary is suggested in all of his speeches, speech-es, if, Indeed, a reading between the lines of his speech, as reported In the Herald, docs not go so far as to say that the movement will have his open support after election, provided he is defeated." |
