Show H THERE IS A DIFFERENCE. H 7 & H For twenty years past the publisher of this paper, every other H ytar, has been called on to stump the state for the Republican ticket B Only four years ago he closed the campaign in Provo and the lead- H ing paper said, "The Honorable William Glasmann, the Republican H party's champion, will address the Provo voters." H The last issue of the Provo Post says, "That would-be notorious H mayor of Ogden is the principal man in the state for the Progressive H principles." H The editor of the Post would be hurrahing for the mayor of H Ogden tomorrow, if the mayor saw fit to praise those whom the Post H is obligated to praise. Hi The Post sa's: Hf "With the arrival of the many campaigners who arc most indus- H triously opposing. President Taft, the people of this state will have H an opportunity to hear the big questions of the coming campaign B discussed from all sides, and will undoubtedly have a better oppor-. B tunity to find out that the policies of President Taft have been of H more value to the pcopfc than all of the new-fangled ideas of LaFol- B lette, Clapp, Champ Clark and the rest of the would-be leaders, who H are racing up and down the country in a futile effort to head off B the nomination of a man who has weathered one of the stormiest B terms encountered by a president in many years." H Classing Champ Clark as a Progressive Republican provokes a H laugh. What are the new-fangled ideas of LaFollctte and Clapp? H Inasmuch as Moses E. Clapp is the only Progressive Republican H campaigner who has ever spoken in Utah, by what stretch of the H imagination, Mr. Provo Post, are 3011 able to speak of the "many" : . ...i. 1 :..j : ii.:. i.. 4... 0 h uttuijjaiucia www uuu uinvuu m uiiw Hiaiu i H President Taft is rushing up and down the country in the un- H dignified task of winning a crowd by virtuo of being president, H and then addressing them on political issues. When McKiuley was Hl opposing Bryan for the presidency the Republicans said Mr. Mc- Hl kinley would not so lower the dignity of his position as to go out H stump-speaking, and the great McKinely, holding-to the same views, H remained at home. The. Post, owing allegiance to the same party, B should lecture Taft for his shortcomings iu this respect, instead of H striking blindly and wildly at the Progressives. |
