The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-02-24
That is the main reason? Yes.

ical reason why he should vote for him
he might consider it? Consider the pro-
position.
Did you give him any logical reason
why he should vote for him2 Only
what 1 gave this morning
Well, did you give what you consid-
cred logical reason? 1 think so.
What was it? That the Democrats of
Cache county elected him TO Office. and
that his constituency that elected him
would be better satisfied to have Mr..
McCune the senator Of the United
States than the man that he was vOt-
ing for
And that is your idea of a logical
reason, is it, why a man should vote for
certain person for United States SEN
ator? Well, that is the answer that 1
gave him.
That is the only answer you gave
him? That is it in substance.
He ran on the Republican ticket.
didn't he? Yes, sir.
Mr.. Law? Yes.
WHAT LAW HOPED.
He didn't run on the Democratic
ticket? Yes-Oh, Mr. Law in his public
speeches there said if he ever voted
for anybody but a silver man he hoped
that the people of Cache county would
ride him on a rail and tar and feather
him.
Yes. He was pronounced on that
question, wasn't he? Yes, sir.
And you thought it would be giving
a logical reason to ask him to vote for
a man whom you were favoring for
United States senator? 1 knew that the
people of Cache county would be better
satisfied with Mr.. McCune than they
would with Mr.. Cannon.
Did you say that: 1 am asking the
reason you gave him? No. don't think
those words were exactly used. but he
understood what I meant all right.
And then right on top of that ne said
TO you. did he, that if this contest was
in Montana or Idaho-those states
used? Yes, sir.
1t would have been settled long ago?
Yes, sir.
Well. what significance did you at
tach TO that? 1 didn't attach any TO it
right at that particular time.
You didn't attach any to it right at
ticular time; subsequently 1 did
At that time you attached none at
all? Not at that particular time.
And that is all he said to you. wasn't
it-what 1 have interrOgated you
about? No. sir; it is not all.
What else? He said. Why don't
they do business" or get down to
business" or something like that.
That is the legislature. you mean?
No, sir.
Whom did he say? I inferred from
what he said
Now. state what he said. have told
you what he said, and you asked what
he meant by it.
Now. you tell me what he said. He
said. why don't they do business" or
get down to business" now, one Of
those two phrases don't know which.
or something: the word business
was used; L am positive of that
You are right positive on that? 1
am right positive on that-that the
word business was used.
why don't they do business" or
why don't they set down TO bust
ness?" Yes, sir.
IF this thing had been in Montana
or Idaho. there would have been an
election long ago." Yes. sir.
And you attached no consequence at |
all to that2 Not at that particular |
time.
Whom did you first communicate /
this thing TO? That I can't tell.
When did you first communicate if? 4
Not until after he made his speech on |
the following Saturday.
ONLY USED PERSUASION.
Then you. as well as others. in the
interest Of McCune, were seeking his /
vote, weren't you? In q persuasive
way: there was no harm in it at all.
Giving as q logical reason for it that
you thought McCune ought to be
.lected2 When a man goes 10 the leg
stature he is TO consider the interests
If his constituency. The constituency
hat put him in there l know favored
.Ir. McCune above any other man.
And you regard it as a duty of Re
publican. do you, TO vote for a Demo-
ratio candidate for the senate of the
United States2 Just as honorable to
rOte for a straight Democrat as il is
or Frank J. Cannon. in my opinion.
Do you consider that honorable?
10.
SO you have no criticism to make of
lannon's fight, have you? l am not
lere to criticise Mr.. Cannon.
You think it would be perfectly prop
r for a Republican TO vote for DEM
'crat and to have Democrats vote for
silver Republican; is that your idea?
have nothing TO say on those mat
ers at all.
