Causes of Trouble.
One Of the causes Of trouble Was FL.
trick attempted on Thomas smart t5s
biggest Republican Of Cache coI,n+-
Robert Murdoch, the Logan pos-Tsss,,
ter, hearing that Mr.. Smart had ssi5
he would duplicate any campaign ON
trfbutlOn Of any Cache county Renub.
lcan, framed up a scheme. it is ssg
TO skin the generous Republican. NJ
Murdoch told Law, chairman Of TIA
county committee, that he would girs
a check for $50, which could be flashed
on Mr. Smart, and thus he would sira
one like il. But the thrifty p0stmas-
ter wanted his check returned T5a
schene worked, and when Mr. Smsu
heard OF IL he became very indignant
But that is not all The county com
mittee and prominent Republicans En-
dor9ed George Odel for p0stmaster.
Mr. Miller turned him down, giving the
place to Murdoch. That made M
Smart very indignant again.
Mr.. Odel became a candidate for
the position of secretary TO the Agr-
cultural college board when J0ss0b
Wilson resigned He was as strongly
endorsed as he had been for the place
Of postmaster, f0r he is one of the mos
ardent party workers Of the county,
Then Mr.. Smart, the stalwart, ard
other stalWarts were indignant again
Their anger was directed against Act
ing Governor Hammond. who aided il
the appointment Of Peter W. Maughan
As the latter held the place Of chia
accountant for the state land board. il
was considered that he was ALREADY
well provided for.
Smart Is Smarting.
The aHtagonism Of Mr.. Smart and his
Immediate friends is q thing Of no
ment. How important it is may be t.
allied from the fact that he was 50
ardent a Republican in 1898 that be
paid a. poor county chairman, who
could not afford TO lose his time 8 per
day for his services. He has furnished
most Of the money on which campaigns
have been cOndUcted-and now he r.
fuses TO give anything because Of tns
in-treatment.
Prominent Republicans Of Rich C0u1-
ly-JOn W. DNkenS, VINO was en-
didate against Glen Miller for United
States marshal, and Isaac Suith-are
in rebellion against the meaningless
platform Of the Republican state con
Yer zion. They look upon Mr.. Nillers
efi-z.- as almost idiotic- II leaves
them Y the air and they don't know
where they stand on the issues Of ths
day. Being unable TO make any argl-
ment based on this platform. they are
doing nothing at al for the success o.
Mr.. Hammond.
Mr.. Dykens and Mr.. Smith in par
ticular have expressed themselves II
terms Of violent disgust
Thus fares the Hammond Campaign
in the north. No wonder Mr.. Walton
is nervous and is iabOring strenu0usF
to straighten out the kinks in the line
of battle. Add TO this the indiferel-s
in Juab county because Governor he-s
has turned down every Republican
who sought a place or asked favor
and ii may be seen that Chairna.
Walton is not reclining on a bed
roses.
