Show :o: ANOTHER CONGRESSMAN. As another evidence of tho growth of Utah comes tho news that our stnto may have added to Its representatives 'n Washington another member. Utalms will then bo nblo to say with other states, "Hon. So-nud-So, one of bur Congressmen," when speaking' to lnibllc bodies away from homo. It will bo much moro cosmopolitan, than to, say merely "our Congressman," ns though thero wero but ono man In the Btato worthy of the title. For this very reason, we welconio tho, news that, our present Congressman will ptobnbly have company In tho great halls of Congress. However, beforo wo arrive at that distinguished position, wo miiBt first get tho Congressman. In order to get him, the futuro Congresses must have 13a or moro members. Many states aro averse to having such a big body for ones of tho houses ot legislation. legis-lation. It Is too lnrgo and unwieldy, thoy say. Thererore, wo can expect considerable opposition from somo of the states. Tho ono redeeming thing in our favor Is that some of tho states which would object to tho In-cieaso, In-cieaso, will lose a representative It their objections should bo successful. Ah they ure averse to any such a reiidjilstment of things, wo enn reas-orittyjy reas-orittyjy expect that thoy will favor thu, largor Congresses which aro os-sonJIal os-sonJIal to our success In winning another an-other Congressman. Lot us hope good foituno will bo ours thnt wo may go forth with inflated breasts, breathing breath-ing tho excellent nlr or our sisters who say "our Congressmen." TIs a consummation dovoully wished tor. |
