Do the people want Honest Joe''
Rawlins in the United States senate:
do they want Moses Thatcher: or do
they want Isaac Trumbo and Charles
Crane?
DO they want men who rely On their
mastery intenects and statesmanlike
qualities, or men who rely on money
and display and the fact that they are
smooth politicians?
These are questions that must be
brought home to every voter in the
state of Utah during the closing days
of this campaign. Every man who has
the future Of the state at heart, every
man who wants to feel that Utah can
produce as good men as any other
state, every man who wants to feel
that a nation can look upon the repre-
sentatives of his state as men who
speak with honesty and power should
shink the situation over soberly. He
must answer these questions 's-ss,@ s.
They have been brought home with
more force than ever during the past
few days. They will be brought home
more than ever during the next few
weeks. For Colonel Trumbo is about
to make the best fight that his ability
and money can make for the RESPONSE
BILE position one Of the highest in
she gift of the people. He Is about to
90 out through the territory making
lavish display, accompanied by a man
from abroad and by men from home
ready to sing his praises into any will
ing ear AS viii be seen below he is
about 10 make a speechmaking tour in
to the various counties Of the territory
in behalf of his CO paign.
But more than that, he has opened up
a literary campaign. During the past
ten days he has been sending out to all
parts of the territory a peculiar circu-
lar. It is written by Charles Crane, the
handmaiden of TrumbO
To Every Bishop.
1t has been sent out to every bishop
Of the Mormon church in the territory
With apparent good reason. For on its
cover is a telegram from the First
Presidency. Several copies Of it have
already been sent in to Democratic
headquarters, coming from Sanpete,
Cache and other counties, and it is be-
ing given a wide circulation.
The circular is made up Of fulsome
adulation of Colonel Trumbo. To read
st one would think that ali Utah had
attained had been the result of Colonel
great fetch which made smooth sail
ing for every thing good that has come
10 the territory. He rs given great
deal of credit for a great many things
that he did not do. He is held up for
reverence as a statesman, when he has
been a lobbyist.
There is another remarkable thing
in the circular however. For some
weeks past. in fact ever since his re-
hPnD
whispering statements told by Crane
AGAINST Frank Cannon Therefore 1t
is not hard to see the application Of
Cranes threats to expose certain Things
agadnst those whom the Republican
marty has delighted TO honor. 1t VIII
he interesting to note whether FRANK
Cannon win dare the proof on the
stories. If he is not open tSIhe cllarg-
es Crane makes he can deny. IL ne
Sc there is much to be saTd.
II is to be apprehended that this
means an opening of the old war be-
tween Goodwin and TTumbo as some
1-e,-v strong hits are thrown out in the
REGULAR. At any rate the Republican
party is pretty badly split UP.
Significant Telegram.
At the head of the brochure. in large
letters. are the words, Equal and
exact Justice to all men, OF whatever
state or persuasion, religious or poll
teal Thomas Jefferson.
There has only been one more TN
warranted thing in the history OF our
politics than an attempt to use any
thing from Jefferson to push the
claims of such a man as Trumbo, and
thai thing was to use the CARRIED
statements of Mormon leaders Of the
past and present 70 help such man as
Frank ]. Cannon
What has Thon.a as jefferson, the adj
vocate Of purity in politics. the advo-
cate of free principles of government,
in common with such men as Trumlbo?
Then comes a thing that will be
taken as significant in the present eX-
cited state of public opinion, a thing
thai has so far provoked the most
pronounced criticism, q thing worthy
to be printed by the author Of Mug
gets Of Truth, a thing opposed to the
very principle for which the Demo-
Gratis are now fighting. 1t is = pur-
ported telegram reading as follows:
Western Union Telegraph Co.,
Salt Lake City, Utah, July is, 1894.
Colonel Trumbo, The Shoreham, Wash
ington, D. c.:
