Hannaites Are Sore at Cover
nor Wells.
DIDN'T GET ANY PIE
HAMMOND WILL BE MADE A
SCAPEGoAT.
Republicans of Juab Were Sighted
in Executive Appointments and
They Charge Their Nominee With
the Offence, Because He Was
Wells Confident.

There is strife and discord in the Re
publican party of Juab county and the
state central committee is so worried
over the trouble that it is growing des-
perate. Chairman Walton, who is run
ming this campaign with his son, on the
plan of a close corporation, just like the
other trusts. is wonderfully wrought up
over the matter. But hes not saying
word about it.
There is no harmony down IN Juab, es-
pecially on the Nephi side OF the noun
tains, where the county politicians re-
side. The trouble arises over the failure
of Governor Wells to recognize the eoun-
~ in making appointments when he be-
came the chief executive of the state
and during all the FIVE years that he has
occupied the Office. Republicans of Juab
worked hard for Governor Wells election,
and they did it unselhshly. They did not
get out and shout for the offices that
might come to them, and yet when the
distribution of the patronage began. they
did want something. Even Republican
cause are not averse to living off the
state pap. They were, however, over
looked like white checks on faro layout.
Said a prominent Republican of Juab
''Juab is the eighth county in point of
population and wealth. We worked hard
for Governor Wells and we pulled the
county through for him. He was very
those days, as nicely as he shines in a
parlor these days; but when he came
around to the business OF making SUBJ
stantiai rewards we were left out.
Won't Work For Hammond.
This county did not receive a single
appointment of any kind. 1 don't know
why No one knows the trouble, but we
do know that we haven't been recognized.
Under these conditions, it is hardly to
be expected that we will get out and
drill with all our force for Mr.. Ham
mond. l understand that Hammond and
Wells are political bedfellows and that
the secretary of state has, in fact been
the power behind the throne We have
been told on reliable authority that Gov
ernor Wells never makes a move but
after consultation with Mr.. Hammond.
Such being the case We hold Mr. Ham
mond partially responsible for our fail
ure to secure recognition. Is it not na-
tural TO believe that he will, if elected
and President Mckinley is continued in
office, have much to say in the distribu-
ton of federal patronage? We don't want
such treatment again OF course, we
cannot expect anything from Judge King,
but that does not make us very enthusi-
astic over Mr.. Hammond's election to
congress.
There is another thing. Glen Miller.
the United States marshal and the Pooh
Bah of patronage, had Charlie Andrews
appointed the postmaster at Nephi. No
one wanted him, except his immediate
family. Endorsements Of Republican
leaders were turned down. Why? Whyl
Andrews was personally satisfactory to
Mr.. Miller
These are the reasons why there is no
Republican work in Juab county, They
are the things that bother Mr.. Walton
more than many other seemingly more
important matters, for he sees in them
some of the chief reasons why Judge
King viii carry Juab county.
