Show THE KNOWING LOOK AND NOD. The Salt Lake Herald-Republican, organ of the pic-counter gang, with the cunning of a sneak, invents the following: We learn from the Salt Lako Tribune that Its "Independent political course has "prepared the way" for the Bull Moose state, congressional, judicial and county tickets in Utah. It therefore seems certain that the fatal affection of the Tribune is to be lavished upon this unfortunate com. b nation of bull mooso office-seekers whose budding ambitions are to be , Dllgutod by the indefinable but deadly effect which that paper has upon E those who bask In Its Medusa-Hke leer. I Common rumor has it that $10,000 of Roosevelt money drifted Into R Utah several weeks ago and that It found a haven In the capacious and tenacious pockets of a Weber county patriot Inasmuch as this particu- I ar enthusiast did not finance the Provo state convention, one may safe- j y assume that he still has the treasure trove practically Intact In the Interest of fair play alone, but with tho hope that he will not follow our advice, wo suggest that he devote tho S10.000 to buying off the Tribuno and directing its support to those whom tho Weber county patriot most Intensely dislikes. Without knowledge as ta who the Weber county patriot is, we venture the guess that the Herald has built the foregoing nasty I insinuation out of its own base thoughts, and nothing more. I Knowing that the regular Republican organization in Utah is a held intact by the promise of office or money, the organ of the Fed- " eral Bunch pretends to see the same condition in the Progressive ff part'. We challenge the Herald to produce any evidence that its slur jj is founded on anything other than the bearing o? false witness and I a desire to discredit the leaders of the third party organization in J Utah. , j The editor of the Herald displays the characteristics of a scan- i dal monger who, Avith knowing look and nod, insinuates what he dare S not openly charge.
