| Show WHAT DOBS IT MEAN this morning the salt lake tribune published the following editorial it is an unique editorial it willbo seen all the way through that judge goodwin when he wrote it was in his hap blest mood it shows that while he talks of weeping he Is really laughing that while be talks ot danger he Is actually welcoming it people just read the editorial through study it as you go along and then think a moment then answer what does it mean DANGER AHEAD SURE we suggest to judge powers judge king hon A L mccune hon fisher harris hon moses thatcher judge henderson hon aquilla and other gentlemen who have had dreams that their shoulders have about the right curve to cause a senatorial toga to hang gracefully from them to keep a weather eye on the hon frank J cannon his cloud may not at present seem larger than a mans hand but there are flaky indications around the border which indicate a possible rapid expansion a it breaks our heart to say anything which may cause gentlemen unnecessary ampre elon but this s a peculiar year and borne ot its peculiarities may possibly run over into next year 1 the sentor some advantages in going into the fight none or his opponents can charge that he Is not as good a silver man as the best ot them in deed he has done what not one ol 01 them ever would do he bolted his party tor silvers eaic then ho refused to vote for the tariff which ought tc endear him to all democratic hearts then since ho has been in this campaign his speeches have been calculated to allay any impression that possibly he la too respectable to wear the robes of democracy gracefully ho has kept up with the finest of the democratic orators at least all except elder penrose ln denouncing the utter want of principle which attaches to ahls opponents ana assailing the tribune tor stirring up old issues by hinting that the laws on the statute books of the state should at least have a semblance of obedience on tha part of the people we tell the other aspirants that he Is a right dangerous combination to run up against we should cry our eyes out it be were to be elected there would be something so grotesquely wicked about it that we could not it we would restrain our tears just think ot it the democracy refused all fusion lest he should draw the big winning card they have made a mighty fight they have been filled with apprehension and sometimes with despair and the senators pity for them was eo great that he went on the stump and whooped up their cause if now it should transpire that he all the time had a machine up bis sleeve tor tho best ot them whelp evil people might laugh we in all our tenderheartedness could only weep on their account see how they bavo tolleiv tol leil fee bow much they have been obliged to swallow see how judges henderson and powers had to reverse former opinions and go back on their own rulings how ex district actor ney C S varlan had to revise bis tor mer indictments and think how batth fully they all have worked tor the cause what it B H roberts should fall to obtain bis scat and frank J cannon should retain his how would our morning contemporary feel then it Is painful even to anticipate the possibility lity of a catastrophe like that but the news hayg there is a power su perlor to that of human sagacity and beyond human calculations that dl the affairs of states and nations and races toward komo ulterior end and none ot us can tell have you thought just a moment well then follow these bev lines and then tank again inthe salt lake tribune has opened 11 iia up the old fight on congressman elect roberts it has again raised the old fight on polygamy the tribune knows that on the issue of whether Jl oberta shall live with hla wives and support them congress will decide against it but on tho issue of electing frank cannon by the members 0 a legislature that are elected on a distinct pledge or understanding that they would NOT vote tor him would be a question that would cause the whole nation to rise up against the people 0 bath and that would just suit the tribune and all those who are coaxing the old aught on there are only two ways that frank cannon can be elected to the united states senate by the present members elect of ane next legislature one is to buy the members of the legislature with money or tor other valuable considerations side rations the other Is through church influence the first proposition to bribe the legislature Is not probable as wo believe there are too many men in the legislature that money can not reach therefore frank cannons only hope for election reelection re is through his fathers influence as a member of the first presidency it through church influence frank cannon is elected reelected re and he can not bo elected reelected re through any other influence what will the people of the nation say about the old conditions prevailing again in utah the support ot plural wives will be brushed aside by congress when not accompanied by the charge of church influence but for the church to use its influence to cause a legislature to vote directly opposite to that on which the people elected the legislature would bring on the old fight again and that Is what the tribune is getting ready to inaugurate the people of utah should go slow before they decide to turn the wheels of time back 20 years and leave us with the old conditions on our hands read the tribune editorial again and see it the old fight Is being anticipated by that paper |
