Show GOVERNOR SPRY'S SPEECH. Governor William Spry alwavs I'Crlvei home his arguments when he Ion the political stump Of this we ! are reminded by his r.pcech in Kav-Ivllle Kav-Ivllle laal nlfht, which was enthusi-laeQeally enthusi-laeQeally received The governor firr.t Fi'oke on the national issues. The cf.'ects of the Underwood tariff on tliC west erri what further damace i' will do were emphatically brought heme to his auditors as sufficient r"j-sor.s r"j-sor.s why Democrats should no lont-r be allowed to misrule the government. Ih injury which has been done to I'tch by the Democrats putting sugar in the free list also was brought out b? tjl governor ae further proof of the inability of tho Democrats properly proper-ly tc handle the reins of government. Governor Spry made an instant hit with hie audience the moment he mentioned the name of Senator Reed Snoot, which provoked loud and continuous con-tinuous applause. Senator Smoot's reputation outside of Utah was reft re-ft rred to by the governor "People of outside 6tatesi have told me that if Senator Snioot is not returned re-turned to the senate it will be a loss not only to Utah, but to the nation at large." he said The senator's thorough knowledge of legislative rroblems and his great rlaalm to heln Utah and the entire west the governor caid, were reason? v,by he should be returned to the 6enate. There is not another state In the union in which there would be a contest con-test to displace a man of the national na-tional standing of Senator Reed Snioot, and we agree with Governor Spry when he says the failure to return re-turn the senator would be a state mis fortune and a national loss. Why, In the New England states they never displace a senator or a congressman who gains an influence in Washington above the medloc-f, and a Senator Hoar Is kept In off Ire until death. Utah, regardless of politics, would be stupidly asinine, if it refused to s"nd back to Washington a man who is recognized as the leader of his party In the United States senate. |
