INCITiNG TELEGRAM.
The Publication of Which Caused
Congressman Sutherland to Talk.

Following Is the Washington special
whlc happeared in this mornings Her
aid which caused Congressman Suther-
land to talk:
Washington. d. c., July THE
nomination and confirmation of Thomas
ii. Davis as postmaster at Ogden gp-
parently has not settled the controver-
So which arose over the selection OF a
man TO MI the place. g.
The Salt Lake Herald published a
dispatch from Washington 10 ths efec.
chat Representative Sutherland APP
peared to be losing his grip at the
White House, because he had endorsed
Hanson for the Ogden place and
kearns man was nominated instead,
when almost universally postonice
nominations are the prerogatiye Of
members Of the lower house
This statement Mr.. Sutherland and
his friends here resented. 1t being the
province of the congressional commit
tee TO look after the election of lndi-
vidual Republican members in the COM
ing campaign, and statement OF this
nature having a tendency TO injure the
Republican candidate, several prom-
nent members Of the congressional
committee, including Chairman Bah
cock, took the statement TO the White
House. Whether they requested Presl-
dent Roosevelt 10 deny the statement
officially, or whether the president acted
upon his own volitlon, one thing is GER
tain, he sent a message to Sutherland
TO have the Washington representative
Of the Salt Lake Republican newspaper
call at the White House for an inter-
view.
The correspondent of the Tribune was
summoned by Mr.. Sutherland and called
upon the president, who assured him in
no uncertain terms that he was friend
~ TO Representative Sutherland, and
that he held high opinion Of his abll- |
ty, etc.
AS II is the unwrltten rule that the |
president cannot be directly quoted. the |
interview with him was sent by the cor !
respondent as having been held with !
"a prominent western member OF the |
house who Is very close 10 Mr.. Roose- |
Welt" but the dispatch, as sent, IL is |
said, did not appear in the Tribune. the |
paper simply printing an Interview |
with Mr.. Sutherland to the effect that
he had the utmost confidence IN Mr.
Roosevelt. and considered him one OF |
the ablest men the White House had
ever seen.
A cory OF the dispatch, as tele-
graphed to the Tribune. was. at his re-
quest, furnished the president, who also
requested that the dispatch as II ap.
peared In the paper should be shown
him when the paper reached here.
When the president sees copy Of the
Tribune containing the dispatch in
question, Il is believed oil will be poured
not upon the troubled waters. but upon
the smoulderlng embers. and that the
Ogden postoiiice matter will afford ma
terial for stll more interesting news
