non and the Tribune.
While Trumbo has whipped the
Tribune into silence regarding his
personal campaign, he is not letting
up on the Tribune nor on Frank j..
/ Cannon. opposition candidates for SEN
ator In addition to his brochure, in
which Charles Crane threatens to
make some interesting revelations, pre-
sumably about Frank Cannon, he IS
sending out some curious circulars,
headed AN TNGRATEFUL SON"
and introduced with these words TO
illustrate to what Extremes an I'm
grateful Son may resort and what Dis
honora BILE means he may invoke, the
following Editorials from two Salt
Lake Dailies are presented side by
side
Then comes the editorial of Septem-
her Z 1895. in which the Tribune began
the attack upon Moses Thatcher, I'M
der the heading, NO Church and
State. but an Apostle" It will be re-
membered that the editorial insisted
that the candidacy of Mr.. Thatcher
was an infringement Of the compact
with the church. whereby the state
and church were to be separate. Side
by side with this is the following edi-
torial, furnished to the Salt Lake Star
by Colonel Trumbo and having his en-
tire approval. appearing in the issue
of Sent. 8, under the heading, Church
and State Again"
1.-The Tribune of last Saturday con-
tains an article headed mo Church or
State. but an Apostle in which Mo-
ses Thatcher IS condemned for allow
Ing his name to appear as candidate
for senator on the Democratic ticket
the reason given being that he is an
apostle Of the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints. The article is
well written. and the subject artfully
handled. but back of it all is a little
tale Frank J. Cannon dictated the ed
itorial. proof of which the Star is
prepared to furnish, and while Moses
Thatcher's name was used to make
the argument the dignitary who was
really assaulted was George Q. Cannon.
His son Frank is resolved upon being
senator, and to become one, stands
ready to flank the movements Of his
father by opening up the Mormon
question. or any other question. and
resorting to the columns of the Trib-
une to accomplish his clandestine
moves. Frank Cannon will discover.
when too late. that his COMPACT with
p. H Lannan. whereby himself and
Goodwin are to be senators. will avail
him naugft. but TO the contrary. this
unwholesome alliance will bury him
politically His father Will be one Of
the first United States senators from
Utah Notwithstanding this compact,
md it will not now he more necessary
for George O. to resign his presidency
of the church to become a senator
than when he spent his time in Wash
ineton for his neonla in the n"hlic
of preventing disfranchise-
ment and endeavoring 70 remedy the
wrongs of confiscation. The people Of
the territory did not then COMPLAIN Of
his public service. nor did the apostles
believe he was cOmmOnizing his stand
ing in the church, nor would they have
thought so if he +hus labored under
the title Of senator. IF the Tribune
and Frank Cannon are ready to reopen
the Mormon controversy, the Star Is
prepared for the challenge
1t may be renar ked anent this circu-
lar that the Tribune never dared the
proof. More than that. it suddenly
dropped all reference to the APOSTLE
ship as bar to political activity and
began to take the tack that the NOM
nation was not accepted in good
faith. 1t never has denied and it will
not deny that the statement above
made is correct. for Il is afraid to dare
