The Utah delegation was somewhat
stirred up today by a telegram FROM
former Congressman ". II. King. 60
his brother, sam King. in which Judge
King called for no compromise on tho
Idaho polygamy resolution and adde4
an Injunction for Samuel 70 see sen

COngressmeu Williams DeArmOnd ana
Champ Clark
The Judge might as well have urged
Sam to see Parker and Grover CieNe-
land and a. few other prominent Dem.

the Idaho resolution IN this conre1-
ton. and it would, have come in 1usf
