matchless resources of Utah. But I
think the chief executive of the re-
public. we'll beloved as he is, exceeds
The bounds of authority and prnpriety
when he presumes to advise the legis-
lature Of Utah as to whom il shall
send to represent the state in the up
per house of the national legislature"
Dr. a. 5. Condor, state representa-
tive from Weber county and one of the
leading candidates for speaker of the
house, spent the day in adroit
maneuvers to avoid changing his
candidacy With the new issue that has
been raised. His headquarters in the
Cullen hotel were crowded and little
else was spoken of than the message
from Washington.
you may quote me as politely, re-
spectfully and smilingly, but none the
less emphatically, refusing to have
anything to say on the subject" said
he between handshakes.
Senator Love Would Wait.
Senator S. H. Love turned back and
forth several times in the leather
seated chair he occupies as traffic man
Rger for the Il. c. NJ. l. Finally he
spoke
81 have no means Of knowing wheth-
er the president has been quoted cor
rectly," said he. las a matter of fact,
7 have strong suspicious that he has
been grossly misrepresented, or, at
least, that his attitude has been ex-
aggregated or misconstrued. Until it is
certain just what the president has
said, 1 should prefer to withhold COM
ment."
Mr.. Love stroked his mustache
thoughtfully for a moment Then he
looked up with a twinkle in his eye.
Did you ever hear the old say
Ing" he asked, that only stockings,
fools and children rush into print?"
And ne would vouchsafe not one
word more.
Senator Hoyt Sherman aligned him
self with the mum majority"
u expect I shall be about as COM
mUnicatiVe." said he, ''as the small boy
who was found in the pantry with his
face and hands daubed with JAM"
What did the young man remark"
the senator was asked.
He had nothing whatever TO say"
responded the uncommunicate Scion.
Then he chuckled softly and stepped
away.
Brigham n. Roberts Smiled.
Democrats went around all day yes
terday with broad grins at the con-
fusion in the Republican ranks. Among
the men who smiled quietly was Brig
ham H. Roberts.
The Republicans ought to be sat
isfied." he commented. This is a
beautiful example OF the principle of
centralized government The result
will undoubtedly be to strengthen the
opposition in the east among the pur-
fly leagues, etc. and to add TO Shoots
strength at home. The natural tend
ency will be for the members of the
legislature to resent any outside inter
ference of this nature"
Governor Heber NJ. Wells became
busy. very busy. extremely busy, yes
terday. when his opinion on the sub
ject was sought.
I'm too busy to be interviewed" he
said, and then spent some little time
explaining how busy he was.
Secretary OF State James T. Ham,
mond said: Il do not think this viii
affect the result"
Others Smiled, Too.
w. S Mccormick smiled benignly
when the subject was preached. Il
don't think it would be becoming in
me TO criticise the president he
said.
Joseph Lippman. the principal rep
resentative in salt Lake at present of
the Kearns machine, smiled and smiled
and smiled.
Il don't think 1 have anything to
say he declared
Then he took to smiling again. In
fact, the expression which told of in
ward chuckling never left his face.
Willard Done Was Mad.
Willard Done of Salt Lake, one of
the SmoOt members of the lower house,
was mad all through and he didn't
hesitate To say SO.
I'm for Smoot first, last and all the
time, he declared. Il don't believe
the president has any right to inter
fsre, and I do not believe he would
have done so if the situation had not
been misrepresented 10 him. We ought
to settle this thing right now, and 1
think we'll do it,
That expresses the sentiment of
practically every one of the SmOot
men in both houses. Some men are
more cautious than others in express
ing themselves, but they all appear to
feel the same way. And the easiest
way 10 make q SmOOt adherent briStle
up is TO mention the Kearns- Roosevelt
Interview.
Senator W. n. Williams of the SmOOt
cohorts was Chary about going IN rec
ord. but NJ did say: L don't think
the Roosevelt Interview viii affect the
result"
\. z. Nelson of Sanpete county. Con-
gresham Sutherland's private secre-
for sutherland, questioned the reliabili-
~ of the interview.
at is safe 20 say that the statements
are exaggerated - per cent" be said.
''iB keeping with the other reports sent
out By Tom Kearns. The president
may have said that it was unfortunate
there should be nght of that kind.
Doc Jones Of kearns' literary bureau.
took this statement. clothed ii and sent
II out here as Il was received.
The result Of this will be that Reed
SmO0t VIII receive votes he would not
nave received before, While It is the fin
ishing touch which forever seals Toms
doom
Pussy Jimmy's'' Opinion.
II don't think the president has been
accurately quoted This was the re-
mark OF James II. Anderson. chairman
of the Republican state committee.
when asked his opinion Of President
ROosevelt's message TO Reed Smoot
Mr. Anderson was at first disinelined
to express himself on the matter at all
but was finally induced to break forth
with the above statement He con-
tinued by saying:
