they control, SANDER the city, the
state and the people, injure business
and retard progress, Truth believes
the public should be informed of the
characters of the men who are doing
those things. There is no political
party question in this thing. Truth
mas nothing against anyone because
he belongs to this party or that party
and the TACT that the Tribune and its
owner, manager and editor are the
leaders of particular party has moth
| ing to do with the structures truth is
laying upon them. There are good,
conscientious people in the "Ameri-
can" party and others VINO are SYM
pathizers with it in a more or less de-
gree. But none of them approve OF
the methods Of the Tribune ana the
triumvirate in working great and IT.
reparable injury to the state In
scourging a whole community tor the
qualification of personal spite born OF
disappointment. What good thing can
a political party accomplish with suc1
leaders as Kearns, Cannon, ct al?
If there is any need for an "Ameri-
cam party here, at least halfway de-
cent people should be at the head OF
it, people whose aim is to promote tie
welfare of the state, not to injure it,
Truth has no use for knockers. It
will combat them to the end.
The unsavory and unprincipled
triumvirate, composed of an Irish
Mick" renegade Jew and a rene.
gade Mormon, who for many months
have been scourging this city ana
state, keep up their dastardly work
from day to day in the columns of the
, Tribune and it's two satellites, the Her
aid and Telegram. They have set
themselves up as dictators and to
crafty their base spites have infiict
; ed incalculable injury on the business
, interests of Salt Lake in particular
and the state in general. This un
clean combination of moral lepers
which has set itself up as censor Of
}. public morals and everything else, is
: composed of about as immoral ant
= unprincipled gang as could be founC
in the nation. Ex-Senators Cannon
. and kearns are VIGOROUSLY and open
3 ly unclean. The third member of the
!, triumvirate is sly, foxy and crafty. II,

9 The triumvirate, as Henry Water

Ex-senator Thomas Kearns, tn

mines and was known under ina

Williams, rich. The lapse of time an
