made, the first sentence reads: There
is just one more thing that would con-
vince the editor OF this publication
that church influence. .is being
exercised in this county" etc. Tues
day mornings Tribune takes up this
sentence, and utilizing the word
more" as a theme, makes Of our
article an argument justifylng their
own daily cantankerosity. The Tri-
bune urges that the word more" In
the sentence referred to indicates that
the editor is familiar with many
actions that might indicate "the
church IN politics, and then the
Kearns organ delivers sermon.
THE REPUBLICAN will not attempt
to deny that The Tribune's article is
consistent and warranted by the sent
ence in question, but TIE REPUBLl-
CAN editor does deny that it was his
intent 10 use the word more" In that
sentence. When he read the Tribune's
article, he was convinced that the
Tribune had deliberately inserted the
word more" in order to have a found
alton for an article such as was writ
ten. However, the editor got copy
of Saturdays issue OF The REPUBLI-
CAN and there to his surprise found
that the sentence read exactly as The
Tribune had it.. He then chased red
eyed to the compositor and had him
dig up the copy from which the article
as set.
That copy as written reads: There
is just one MOVE that would con-
vince the editor" etc. The compost
tor offered the explanation that he
mistook the word move" for more"
and he then added the word "thing"
In order that the sentence might read
well. The proof reader failed to catch
the change and The Tribune's article
is the result.
The courageous editor of this
paper not only denies that it was his
intention TO use the word more" in
the sentence qnoted in the Tribune,
but he is courageous enough TO say
that in five years in Cache and in clos
est touch with the political workings
in this county he has not yet found a
single evidence ofrthe church in poll
tics" lie has heard democrats out
Of Office claim that the church was
doing various stunts, but when asked
for proof they have never given it.
They invariably refer to some stunt
they say was done some considerable
time before The REPUBLICAN editor
came to Zion. We have heard cantank-
erous Gentiles talk about church in
nuence' until their combs turned red,
but never yet has one of these given
this Gentle single piece OF tangible
evidence TO verify their statements.
The editor Of this paper didn't come
from Missouri, but he asks TO be
shown when Gentiles and democrats
rant about the "church in politics" il
Cache county in the past five years
The editor of this paper is no church
serf, and you can bet your life that ht
Is no hireling of the dsreputable ganl
that manipulates the un.Americau
organ in Salt Lake city. The editol
OF IHE REPUBLICAN has had M
string on him since he was thirteer
years of age, when death broke up tn,
family and he was forced to dig fo
himself, He has no string on hin
now and were he to meet "the church
in politics" in Cache county today NJ
would have no hesitancy in denounc
Ing 1t in terms more severe than TIT
Tribune uses daily.
However, because disgruntled poll
ticians and Office seekers continually
carp, and honest but terribly warped
and badly prejudiced Genties who
still live in the times that passed with
the 6fties and sixties insist that tn,
