Show SENATOR CANNONS FOOL FRIENDS there waa a time when senator cannon was surrounded by arienda rienda who were not boly loyal but who always did and said the right thins at the right time but lately the senator baa taken anto himself a guardianship which is placing i him in a moat unenviable political position ae sponsor tor him they have given utterance to political doctrines which no sensible or thinking man cares to espouse first came ben rich who passed through the state making the statements that he was the personal pe representative of the senator and that th e only object of fusion was to reelect re elect senator can non but for tho statement of ben rich undoubtedly fusion would have been a reality in utah next came the leader of the national silver republican party who insisted that senator cannon must be returned I 1 to the united states senate by the dear i ot utah and in bis speech gave the public to understand that the only object of the silver republican party was to make democrats that the silver republicans who could not remain republicans on account of principle really were tricksters trick deceivers and had no principles now comes senator pettigrew of south dakota who gave the following j interview in this mornings salt lake herald TALKS OF GETTI Kd EVES 1 I cannot see how men can be so blind to their own interests as to refuse and make silver the sole issue until the fight is won and I 1 say this to you that we are watching utah and these other states and we propose it our frienda are slaughtered out here in the west to get even you want to elect a president in 1900 and with I 1 believe it can be done the result was very close last time and I 1 think this time we can win hut back on us in this and we will yon you shall not slaughter our friends because you have the power so to do and expect to reciprocate with kindness think of a man who espouses the cause of silver because it is to the peoples interest and then tells you that if from all the silver men in utah one certain man is not elected to office that he will smash the silver question in the nation that Is just exactly what senator pettigrew means when he talks about getting even these silver men prate of principles 1 bah I 1 they have none office office 1 and for me as all the principle they know senator cannon is fortunate in one thing namely that hie sponsors do a hesitate to give the coblio to ander adanti that the only thing wanted ia the senators election reelection re but THE STANDARD cannot commend the fool method adopted to bring about the result if senator canpon had sent out A statement to the thai bis ra election was not essential to the maintenance ot the silver question that he was ready and willing to step aside for the accomplishment of a union of the silver forces in utah fusion would have beba successful and ninety nine chances out of a hundred he would have been the benator elected but when the senator and hie friends give the public to understand that they will emmeh the dilver question and force the people of thie state and nation to serfdom junices they send one certain man back to office they mistake the independence of the people of utah the people of utah will do much for love honor ana justice but through fear nothing I 1 thy people of utah are americans and patriots every inch ol 01 them nod aby know no tear senator cannon had better his plan of campaign and that quickly if be wants a re election |
