Endorsed the Tribune in Meeting
For It's Reliable Church News.
People have long been recognizing in
this city that the Salt Lake Tribune
is the organ OF the church. 1t has
out-Heroded Herod. After saying mean
things for twenty years, after picking
up the slightest whisper Of anybody
in the Mormon church and gong into
a paroxysm Of rage over it. the paper
has suddenly turned around and is
ready to swallow anything that may
be done by church officials in the in
terest of the Republican party For
weeks its editorials have been teenl-
ing with seemingly authoritative dec
larations of church policy. 1t has
been outlining what should be done
by the conference and in various ways
attempting to cut out the Deseret
News. But it appears that the thing
has gone even farther than that, as
witness the following letter from
RichfeId. received yesterday. 1t has
a bearing on the present situation in
many ways.
RICHFTELD. Oct 15.-One Of the
most amusing things we have seen in
long time has been the bringing
upon the rostrum in a religious meet
ing of the political glee club, travel
ing with Wells, Allen and Cannon.
on Sunday afternoon Bishop Theodore
Brandley. elected last fall as Repub-
Ican member of the constitutional
convention anG running upon the Re-
publican ticket this fall, invited the
four members of the glee club to take
the stand, and, of course, invited them
to sing. which they consented to do.
Bishop Branaley introduced them as
the Provo glee club. visiting the town
with Brother Wells and the others.
They were invited to speak and bear
testimony that they We're Mormons in
good standing and believed in the
doctrines of the church.
After they were through, Bishop
Brandley spoke. He rehearsed the
news of conference, especially that
part of Joseph F. Smiths sermon
about home industries, saying we must
support them He also alluded to the
sugar factory and the Sugar trust.
Then he came to that reliable church
organ. the Salt Lake Tribune, and
was going to quote some items as au-
thor:ty when he suddenly recollected
himself and said he would not; but
he stated that the Tribune was more
! explicit in giving the conference news
than even the Deseret News. He said
the Tribune was really more reliable
and gave more news than the Deseret
News
Now. Bishop Brandley has been
agent for the News. and people are
wondering whether he has resigned
/ or whether the church has thrown over
/ the News and established the Tribune
as the official organ of the church. 1t
1 looked to us as though the Tribune
had repented and had been brought
/ into the fold.
/ Bishop 'Brandley said the people
must obey the leaders of the church
4 in temporal as we'll as spiritual things.
! After the meeting adjourned the peo-
/ pie had scarcely gone twenty feet
from the meeting house before a Re
| publican went up to Democrat and
said:
How do you like that for Repub-
! licanism?"
Say that the instructions of the
priesthood are not bearing fruit!
/ That circular of Trumbo and Crane
! Is making Democratic votes here.
Certain Republicans feel very sore.
! They are denouncing Trumbo as a
traitor to the party and are including
Crane in that They don't wear as
many Crane badges as they did and
