F[OR|DA'S SENATOR
A VISITOR IN ZION
Is En- Route to the Pacific
Coast and Sound
Country.
HAS SPENT TWO WEEKS
IN YELLOWSTONE PARK
Charmed and Delighted With
His Journey Over the
Country.

Senator J. P. Taliaferro and party of
| Florida returned TO Salt Lake Tuesday
morning from their trip to Yellowstone
| park, and spent yesterday in Zion,
guests at the Knutsford. In a talk
with a Tribune representative the Sen
ator said their trip to the park was a
most delightful one. The wonderful
| works Of nature as pictured in Yellow
stone park and in fact IN all this Rocky
Mountain country, are marvelously
grand. Gas l said when heer two weeks
ago on our way up to the park, this
is our first visit to what is called the
far West, and ] must say that ] am
more than pleased with what I have
seen and the vastncss of it all, Here
in Utah you have beautiful city rich
valleys and grand mountains. A trip
through this grand country gives bet
ter conception of the laws necessary to
be enacted to aid in its development.
1t is impossible to get a correct knowl-
edge of this great and but partially de-
veloped empire by listening to lectures
or reading magazine descriptions Of
it" The Senator says it is the proper
thing for all in the East who can, to
visit this mighty West, and by the
same token he thinks the people of the
West would profit by visit to the
East and South, and see what has been
achieved in those sections of the coun-
Try, anu IN UnlS connection nc
all Westerners who visit Florida a
warm welcome and hos-itable treat
ment.
AS to Politics.
When politics werel mentioned, the
Senator smiled and said: Zone of the
objects 1 had in making this trip was
to get as far away from politics as pos
sible. Why,' said he, ~ haven't read
anything of the reception accorded Mr..
Bryan on his return from Europe and
know nothing of what he and others
said on that occasion. He thought,
however, that the election of the Dem
ocratic nominee for Governor Of Ar
kansas was a greater certainty than
that Utah would go Republican. Upon
his stop over here of a day en- route to
the park, two weeks ago, he became
greatly interested in The Tribune, and
commended the fearless plain, forceful
and explicit manner in which it dis
cussed the great issue which confronts
the people Of Utah and surrounding
States. He thought he could readily see
that in State and local elections here
there was more at stake than the tri
umph of party on political grounds
merely, and he admired the courageous
fight The Tribune was making,
Contest In Idaho.
In speaking of Dubois, the Senator
said in all sincerity that he hoped for
his reelection to the Senate. He knows
Dubois well, and knows him to be 4
clean, safe,> valuable Senator and pa
triotic man. No man, he said, in public
life was held in higher esteem by men
of all political parties than Fred T.
Dubois. Irrespective of party, and lay
ing party considerations aside, Fred r.
Dubois should succeed because of the
righteousness of the cause in which he
is engaged, the triumph of American
principles and proper regard for the
sanctity Of the home.
Senator Taliaferro and party re-
sumo their trip west this morning by
leaving for San Francisco, from which
place they will visit Portland and the
Sound cities, returning east via the
Northern route,
