CANDIDATE F. c. GOUDY ISSUES
AN ADDRESS TO REPUBLICANS

in human nature, and feel l am justi-
fed in relying implicitly upon the
friendships of twenty years standing
No one can convince me that any or
those gentlemen would Intentionally
dishonor himself and his constituents
by deserting me, but | believe that
they, and each of them, were so misled
by Misrepresentation, as they know
that at least ninety per cent. OF their
respective constituency favored, and
still favor me for the senatorship, and
they must remember that they pledged
their word of honor to me as well as to
their constituents, or many OF them,
that they would support me in this
contest.
Some of my friends in the Legisla-
ture, who have stood by me In this
fight, have been approached by corrupt
propositions.
81 believe the present contest is one
of the strongest arguments ever pre-
sented to the people, unless 1t Is In the
case of the state of Delaware, that
United States senators should be elect
ed by popular vote, as this would
strongly tend to eliminate from Ameri-
can politics one of the most dangerous
elements the people have to deal with.
81 have implicit confidence in the
people, and to the people such matters
should be left, and the constitution or
our country should be amended to that
end as soon as possible.
II have no i'll will toward my oppo-
nents, or any of them. and | believe
that time will justify each and every
act of mine in this contest. If we can
honestly secure a Republican majority
on Joint ballot. of course | would like
to be the favored one. but whether
personally successful or not. | want to
see a Republican senator from Colo
RADIO, as well as solid Republican
delegation in the lower house of Con-
gress. f, C. GOUDY.

Mr.. William Stapleton, care Denver
Republican, Denver. Colo:
I'VE in common with all the friends
of the Republican party here deplore
the conditions now existing in the
Legislature in your state. Anything
that will destroy the prospects of elect
ing Republican senator is deprecat-
ed to the utmost degree. If a remedy
can be found we most earnestly appeal
to those Republicans controlling the
situation to make an effort, consider
ing above all else the interests of the
party.

APOSTLE SHOOT
STANDS FAST

Salt Lake, Jan. 10.-Apostle Reed
Smoot last night bade defiance to Pres
ident Roosevelt.
Backed by the Mormon Church.
the members and officials of which are
furious at the Presidential interfer-
ence, he announced that he was in the
race to stay, his support was solidi-
fed, and there is every indication that
the Mormon Church. in the face of the
warning of the administration at
Washington, will force the election Of
Smoot to the United States Senate and
make test case of the right of an
apostle to election to that body.
Wild statements of defiance are
heard on every hand from the Mormon
members of the Legislature, and to-
night it is agreed that unless there
should be sudden and altogether un-
expected change. in the situation the
apostle will be chosen by an over
whelming majority at the Caucus of
tne Republican members next week.
The whole state is in commotion over
the unexpected interference of Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
When Apostle Smoot first read the
Kearns interview he said: This is un-
precedented. In any otner state in the
Union such action on the part of the
President would be resented"
Later he went into conference with
President Joseph H. Smith and his
counsellors, John r. Winder and An
thon II. Lund. Still later he spent sew
eral hours with State Senator C. E.
Loose, his friend and political manager.
AS result of these two interviews, he
stated late tonight: Il do not believe
that President Roosevelt intends to
mix in local politics. l am still a can
dlaate for the United States Senator
ship"
Ihe legislative senatorial caucus
Wnich was to have been held tonight
was postponed until next week.

In the evening went to hear DR..

such a thirg as political pulls there as
here. 80 that the best of service is had
ou; of every official, thing worthy
of imitation on this side of the line,
one thing noticed especially by a
preacher was that in every prayer
for King Edward and his royal wife
and the law makers. and that they
might lie impressed with the sacred
ness of law.
By the way | did not notice any
police in Minnepeg, but 800 miles west
of there on the cars saw two mounted
police. as they are called, with the
government furnished uniform of red
jackets, high boots, blue cap, a spur
on each heel, with a ruwhide in hand.
with revolvers chained to the body,
and a belt of cartridges, they had a
thief in charge, tthey said he was an

One thing noticeable about the Cana

kind, they take lie easy. and enjoy it,
and il a man was seen hurrying along

can, that could not walk out of the
world quick enough.

we're ready to give one. soon We
arrived in Minnepeg one of the most
beautiful cities Of Manitoba, of some
