Did.
REWARDS HIS ENEMIES
PARKINSON WAS SHEEvED BY
APOSTLE sEToOT.

Having recovered from the first
shock -occasiOned by the news that Ed
ward II. Callister had been appointed
collector OF internal revenue for this
district, the politicians put IN some
time yesterday figuring out low It
happened. In well informed circles the
story was that p. H Lannan had
scored a. victory.
It was stated that Mr.. Callfster was
Colonel Lannan's candidate an the way
through, one reason being thai if Cal
AsJer was appointed, Arthur Pratt
would be chief deputy. The FIST serious
h1tch occurred when Senator Kearns
positively declined to endorse the state
chairman. Before he went to Europe.
he is said to have declared to more
than one man that ne never would en-
dorse Calilster under any CIrcum-
stances.
About this time it looked very blue
Tor EDWARD Kearns had not only re-
FUSED to recommend him, but he had
endorsed another man, William G. Par
klnSon OF idaho, and so informed his
trends. For some weeks il didn't
seem possible for anybody except Par
k1nsOn on. the present collector, Mr.
w ehster, to win. In fact from the
DIVISION in + tab, the machine being for
Calllster and the senator standing out
against him, IL was almost Z certainty
Montana man would be arrived at.
30 matters stood until a very short
time ago Perry Heath was enlisted
on the Calister side, and Apostle Reed
SmoOt, one of ParkinsOn's hackers, was
prevailed upon to see things IN a Gif-
ferent light 1t was seen that the col
IectorshiD would remain in Montana.
unless the Utah factions got together
behind GallisJer, and the LannaE-Cal-
lister crowd took advantage of this
phase Of the situation Apostle Reed
( SnOOt and other church politicians
were prevailed Upon 20 3nelve Parkin-
/ son, in order that this cat ol.ice might
be brought 70 Utah. The result was
/, that APOSTLE SnOOt i1lucrd ParFin-
son to withdraw from the light Incl
dcntallys Parkinson was promised Il
] deputyshjp for Idaho. This, however.
IS mere mater of datari. He WOuld
have withdrawn" just the same,
whether he had been promised the dep
utyship or not.
1 With Parkinson OUT, Perry Heath.
Apostle SmOOt and the I.d1naa forces
set TO work upon Senator kaarns and
! persuaded MIN to do what he h1C de-
clared ne never would do. He endorsed
Callister. one of the men wno opposed
his election as senator. The appoint
ment followed.
This is the story that is being tod
among the politicians. The parties
chiefly interested deny is accuracy, nut
men of undo lDtad reliability VOuCh for
| its accuracy. The latter declare they
know what they are talking about The
course OF the senator, in diStri DutiEg
the best Offices among his enemies IS
sharply criticised by some OF his former
supporters we may nov eX9cct the
postOfice to go to Hewlett, said one
OF them yesterday.
Mr.. Callister received a telegram of
: congratulations yesterday from Jesse
NJ Smith, George Sherrard and Ed
j Kearnes, who are at Soda, Springs, in
speeding the shearing Of their sheep.
/ The message was a joint one, and ex-

/ he viii allow the present force 10 run

I quaints himself with the duties of the
