Show Kt O H WAS IT PREMEDITATED? H In announcing the appointment of Mayor Thatcher Hi to the Industrial Commission, The Journal savored some-Hl' some-Hl' -what of an almanac. The Mayor received the appointed appoint-ed -anent soon after 10 o'clock Monday morning, and it was H imlletined in Salt Lake long before noon. It was current H on the streets of Logan all the afternoon, and was an-H an-H Mounced in the Salt Lake papers Monday evening, and H' the moniing papers, including The Logan Republican, H "TnesHay morning. The Journal came trailing along with H "it some thirty hours after it had been made, notwith-H notwith-H s standing it is the party organ of the administration, but B one hundred miles away from the capital, and on a pri- ! vatewire. It certainly received the message over its wire, H lience the question, was it premeditated? H Of course it is well known that The Journal was H -against the Mayor. It is well known that The Journal H was behind the call of the County Committee to endorse H a candidate, the call that was so thoroughly repudiated H by Governor Bamberger. But even that does not justify , H the party organ in suppressing the news. Any paper H ought to be above such petty actions. Perhaps sweating H tinder the sting of defeat and chagrinned at the governor -m his contempt for the party organization in Cache, it H simply couia not rise to the occasion and do the big thing. H .Oh well, "a little stream will drive a little mill." |
