Gov. John C. Cutler admits at last
that he knows that Adl-Gen. RAYMOND
Z. Naylor of the Utah National Guard
mas resigned. Apparently the Governor
was late IN finding 1T out, for Tho Tri-
pnnS last Saturday morning printed ex-
ciusiVeiy copy OF the letter of resigna-
tion which Gen. Naylor had mailed to
the Governor fully three days prior to
the time of publication.
because The Tribune published Cen,
mayor letter, in which the writer
hatly accused the Governor of break,ng
a solemn promise to reform and revivifv
the guard, Gov. Cutler now tartly de-
mands that Gen. Naylor complete his
plennlal report as early as possible, and
noithWith Vacate his office-a request
with which Gen. Naylor will be exceed
lngly glad to comply. Incidentally il
may be remarked that the biennial re-
port VIII cover the acts of three adm.
tants-genernl. the Governor having
quarreled with that many incumbents
of the office in two wears.
