Show AN UNCERTAIN FEELING Yesterday President Taft absolved the Insurgents of sin. Now It is in order fcr the Insurgents to decide whether they can forgive the president, Locally, the Regulars had been informing the mayor that he was beyond the pale of Republicanism, and that he could not hope to be a delegate to any of their conventions. Lately they have modified modi-fied their views as to the mayor's Republicanism and have told him ho is eligible to a voice in the affairs of the party and they have been condescending enough to invite him to participate in any ratification rati-fication jubiliation they might call. Today it looks as though there has been quite as great a change in this state as to the relative importance of Insurgents and Stand Patters, as Taft has been confronted with in the nation, and, when the crisis is reached in Utah, it is just possible that instead of the Insurgents Insurg-ents being invited as guests of the Regulars, to enjoy the political festivities fes-tivities of the fall campaign, the Regulars will be hanging around, waiting for a beck and a nod which will pass them into the inner sanctum of the party's high potentates. As an old-time Republican warhorse and ''Stand Patter" said when he heard of the news from Maine: "Say, I don't know where I stand. Things politically are transpiring trans-piring so rapidly that everything seems in a whirl. I can't locate myself." There are several Stand Patters in Utah who have the same feeling. A dizzy sensajjon has crept over them within the last few weeks. |
