Show I!! WHEN THE POLITICAL POT BEGINS TO BOIL. Yesterday, afternoon at Stimson's Cafe, Hon. A. R. Heywood gave a luncheon in honor of Hon. Georgo Sutherland. . ' ' Present at the affair were a number of prominent Republicans, and poll-tics poll-tics was touched upon by the speakers. speak-ers. A good word was spoken for Thco-'toro Thco-'toro Itdosevclt as a possible future andidato for President and a Repub-can Repub-can victory in Utah was predicted. Had we the power, there would be no strong partisan feeling stirred up at this time, for or against any party. Our first great duty is to establish unity of purpose during the war, with politics an afterthought, and" that tho Virtue of proceeding along those lines was even recoghized by those at tho luncheon is disclosed by tho comment thaj., regardless of political issues, winning win-ning the war is the paramount Issue. We take it that A. R. Heywood, our former mayor, is still in the arena of politics, as an aspirant for high hon- orB, and that oven George Sutherland, j our former United StateB senator, is not a has-been. Both are men of ability abil-ity in their chosen profession, but of lato they have gotten somewhat out of touch with the people. Surrounded by tho right kind of publicity, and properly groomed they should gain within their circle whatever political ambition has prompted a call to tho clans so early in the campaign. Of course, we are not full certain that this luncheon was ordered with political designs to be promoted. But this we do know: When the robin returns after the stores of winter, spring is approaching. approach-ing. When the swallow homeward flies summer is present. When political leaders begin to give luncheons, bees are buzzing, or soon rr will be. , 6 nn. |
