Show j Parley P. Christenscn j Who Was Decided Upon as the Allies Choice for Speaker and Afterwards ..Thrown Overboard for David H. Morris, Democrat. Parley P. Christenscn, Is an old Cache county boy, nnd his many friends In this locality will bo sorry to learn of his treatment nt tho hands of tho allied politicians. As Parley looks back upon tho wreck ho cunnct help but see that It was nover intended in-tended by tho allies that ho' should bq speaker. Thnt ho was put mr. ward to wecr himself out In tho pre-llminary pre-llminary skirmish, nnd then be olilo tracked for David H. Morris, Dome ctn, Is e dent. For six ballots 'bo allies stood by Mr. Chrlstensen, nnd then uecumo nervouB nnd wanted to caucus. Sufficient prossuro was brought to bear to hold thorn for six moro ballots nnd then tho c'lmax camo nnd he wns supplanted by David Da-vid II. Morris, democrat. No wonder he left tho caucus, and no wonder ho refused to tnko part In tho organization organiza-tion of tho house tho noxt day. By I that tlmo ho could sea tho gamo of politics, and the loss of the speaKer-ship speaKer-ship was not all. From tho fact that tho Republicans won tho speakership under tho ngrcoment tho' n'lles had tho first cholco of committee choir-men. choir-men. Naturally tho Judiciary com-mlttco com-mlttco would ho chosen nnd ns Parley Par-ley had been decided upon for jpnak-or, jpnak-or, somo good democrat must ' chairman of tho Committee on Judiciary. Judi-ciary. If thero Is any ono commtttoo In tho legislature that Parley would prefer, and nny ono committee whore his abilities as a lawyer could bo used to tho advantngo of tho state, It Is ns chairman of this committee, but In tho gamo as it was ptayod by tho nllles Parley has apparently been trumped out of both places. Is It any wonder ho snld as quoted "I was elected on tho Progressive ticket and I will not vote for a democrat." i m |
