In the first place. wherever Colonel
Trumbo has been, everybody with
Whom he has come in contact realizes
that the Colonel Trumbo who has been
mlsrepresented to them and the Colo
mel Trumbo they have had The
pleasure of meeting and hearing,
are two separate individuals, and
they undoubtedly have come to
the conclusion that he has been
unJustiy maligned and lampooned.
They recognize the fact also that men

mere are men who are now seek

given one dollar to the Republican par
tvs success. Not only that. but VINO
fought the Republican party until the
PUBIC crib was taken from them, and
who now seek to live upon the enolu-
ments that the Republicans in this
territory can give. There are others
whom | could name, one in particular,
who received the highest honors that
could be given by the people of this
territory, whose only contribution was
$40 in the campaign of 1894. and who
permitted his friends to contribute all
the campaign expenses, protesting to
them undying friendship, and then at
the first opportunity proved false to
every pledge and promise he made

How was Colonel Trumbo. yourself

The largest audience, without doubt.
that were ever gathered together came
to hear US in every county in which we
stumped. We did not seek to traduce
by personalities any man, and when
we would not speak we'll of a man we
refrained from mentioning his name.
We sought only to build up the Repub-
llcan party in this territory, to educate
the people whom we thought We're hon
est. and desired to do that which they
believed was right. We antagonized no
man. no element, and from the very
many pleasant comments we have re-
celved, [ feel confident our campaign
was productive of great good to the
Republican party of the state The
executive committee of the territory
did not pay one cent of our expenses.
nor did they contribute to make a sue
cess of our campaign in any way,
shape or form. In fact we were in
formed in Cache, Utah and Box Elder
counties that the territorial chairman
advised the Republicans to have moth
ing to do with us. But believing that
our Republication was too well known.
and the sacrifices we had been able
to make for the party in the past were
very much greater than that made by
the territorial chairman, we kept on
our way. We gave, 1 am sure. perfect
satisfaction to all the county chairmen,
and received the thanks of every Re-
publican in every county we visited.
Mr.. Crane then goes on. in an adroit
way, to show that Trumbo is right in
posing of that says:
Il have with me a number of tele-
grams received during OUT tour. indica-
tive of the good will existing towards
us. and OF the favor with which the
party was received. Let me read you

Logan, October so, 1885,
VIII you give us another night in Cache
county? Our people are clamoring for
you. Please make an extra effort in our
behalf Answer.
JOSEPH A SMITH,
Chairman.
Has the territorial chairman thanked
you and Colonel Trumbo for the efforts
you have made to elect the Republican
state ticket?'
II have not received, nor has Colonel
Trumbo. so far as l know, any commune
cation from George NJ. Cannon, or would
1t hardly be consistent for him so to do
If. as we have been credibly informed,
he: sought to throw discredit upon us
find it in his heart to compliment us
upon the work we did for the Republican
party
Naturally, this interview has caused
much talk and speculation. The motive
in publishing it seems to be first to
show that Mr.. Crane was not sore be-
cause he was turned down by the con-
vention. and second to put Colonel
Trumbo formally in the race for the
senatorship, as well. perhaps. as to take
a whack at the man whose political for
tune he made-Frank ]. Cannon.
