political encounter as a mckinley man they would have the call on the winner no matter how the election turned out well mark hanna won and thomas now tries to make people believe he was in earnest when be pretended to be lor mckinley getting back to rogers did you know that hanna sent him with which to reelect re elect brown rogers wanted but hanna said brown worth it so got when the campaign got hot ld john dooly got it into his head that he ought to have a wad out of that roll so be sent a request to hanna lor some of the staff hanna told him that rogers was the only pebble on the beach of salt lake and for him to tackle the national old john asked rogers to divide and rogers do a thing but give him the frozen face dooly got hot in the collar and threatened to have rogers removed from tho national committee lindsay told him to go up against it but to get his boots coppered if he stubbed his toes they pet hurt well when the campaign was over rogers paid he was the duck slated to succeed judge judd aa united states district attorney thomas remembered td how rogers and and charley crane cold decked him out of the chairmanship of the convention at mt pleasant and he proposed to dooly and pat lannan that they go after rogers toupee and what pat and pee wee have been doing at washington I 1 too swift for you no well I 1 get through telling you about rollers you know bow rogers pla s the game be goes down the line and there lent a trick that be trump but he overlooked a bet on that wad he cot from bianna ill tell you bow it was when press got hard up say I 1 dont think it was bard up I 1 think the press manager was making a play to set next to that bianna roll well anyway rogers let have out of that good republican money and he took a mortgage in not on your tintype it was in rogers name and eay that was what rogers and manager thomas of the press bad a row about you know the mortgage became due and rogers wanted thomas to renew it and thomas said he do it junices be could have absolute control of the paper told him be would cee him in arst and they bad a hot row finally thomas had to knuckle well pee wee thomas and dooly and pt lannon got onto the mortgage racket and then they went and copied the charges sidney stevens made against rogers and when they thought they had things fixed they went back to headquarters and filed a protest against rogers being made united states attorney and aleo asked that be be made to account for that they cut rogers trail pretty close but he was too smooth to get caught by salt lake politician he wired bianna that he would be on band to dictate the federal patronage of utah and if yoa dont think hell knock the spots off from thomas and trib gang ill send you up some seed in the spring may have gone
