Show H THE REPUBLICAN AND CUTLER. H It comes to us unotllcially that Sen- BBf ators Smoot and Sutherland, Govci- BBf nor Cutler and so mo otheis largely BBB intei ested In pushing Cutler's nom- BBB Inatlon are Indignant over Tin: Rk- BBB vuiu.icAN's arraigmciit of the (Jover- BBB nor for his treachery to the A. O. of U. BBB and his supporters In this county. BBB Their Indignation Is so great 'tis said B that they must needs have a victim, BBB and that victim is to be tho Hon. Jos. B As tho story goes, tho above named BBfl gentlemen, with Mr. Howell, arc in a BBB combine to control tho political deut- H . iny of the State of Utah, andasaiesl- bH I '-Ibb- H .flfflM Bk BVBWfjBV- dent of the northern part of the Statp, It falls to Mr. Howell's lot to Keep this part of the State in lino wltfr tho comblno's pleasure, especially Tun IIi'.I'Uhlican, which has been regarded regard-ed by these bigger fellows as the Con-gicssman's Con-gicssman's personal organ. Tiik'Rk-i'Uiimoan's Tiik'Rk-i'Uiimoan's criticism of the Governor's Gover-nor's action Is lcgardcd as something beyond toleration and Mr. Howell Is to be drawn over the coals. Whether there Is anything real In this Is a question. There has been much said of such a combination, and If perclianco It Is really In existence and Mr. Howell Is an active member, It Is but reasonable that his fellow members of the organlatlon should expect him to keep tho olllclal organ of Ills homo county well In hand. Any failure to do so must necessarily leact on his own head. In the Interest of Mr Howell, who has been In Washington all winter and who at last accounts was In Portland, Port-land, as well as for tho Information of any who may be Intcicsted, Tin: Hu-ruiiLioAN Hu-ruiiLioAN hcie gives utterance to tho fact that neither this paper, nor its publishers arc under tho control of lion. Joseph Howell, and that neither ho nor any other man or set of men could have prevented the lcccntout-bicak, lcccntout-bicak, or similar outbreaks within the coming two years, except during sixty das before any election. The Rr.i'itiiLioAN newspaper plant Is owned own-ed by the The Logan Newspaper Co., of which Hon. Joseph Howell and most other prominent Republicans of Cacho county are, stockholders. Tills nlant Is leased to Mooic & Turner for three ycais from Feb. 1, 1N04, with the stipulation that It bo a republican paper, and under the censorship of the County Organization only sixty days beforo any election. Under such arrangement Mr. Howell and anyone else Is rather "up against it" when it comes to controling Its columns. If the gentlemen lcferrcd to above want a victim, they 'should look no further than Gov. Cutler himself. He Is today tho object of tho righteous right-eous indignation of an outraged public pub-lic In Cache county and is regarded as the pcrsoniilcatlon of treachery. Gov. Cutler, when seeking nomination and election carno Into this county and gave most unqualified assurance of his friendliness to the Agricultural College of Utah. He placed himself on record with dozens of men In this county, and In some Instances went Into argument as to why ho never could do aught that would work to the- disadvantage of this school. In the presence of Hon. Joseph Howell In thlsoillce, Mr. Cutler was profuse In his statcmentt of friendship. In exact ex-act wording he said: "lK 1 AM HUCCJiSSKUL IN THIS KLIX-TION KLIX-TION Till: INSTITUTION HIIALL. NOT HUTKlill UNDKIt JIY ADMINIHTUATION, AND fillALI. ltKMAIN UNDIBTUItllEO 11 IT 1H IN .MY I'OWKIl TO SO HAVE IT." Gov. Cutler was elected, and how has ho shown his frlcndshipV Uv signing the bills calculated to deprhc the A. C. of U. or Its most popular courses! Mr. Cutler added Insult to Injury by signing those bills when he might have had the graco tolcfthcm become laws without his signature Mr. Cutler had nothing to gain by signing them. The commission for Invcstlga-sion Invcstlga-sion had been provided for and for him to havrt vetoed those bills and left the matter for further action until after that commission's leport would have been so fitting that the most ardent advocate of consolidation must have been satlsllcd Governor Cutler violated vio-lated every obligation of honor, his plighted word and Is deserving of the worst treatment possible at the hands of those whom he so foully betrayed. If It is any satisfaction to "his most distinguished worship." weare pleased to let him know that some few In this county do not endorse Tin: Knruiiu-can's Knruiiu-can's language In Its arraignment of him. However, wo have yet to hear of tho first man or woman who docs not endorse the sentiment of our criticism. |
