SOME AMERICAN tNHARMONY.
The American party dates were set
At meeting Of the state committee
this morning. but there was little else
discussed There is not the harmony
IN the American party that might at
first appear to one not close to its
councils. Cannon and Kearns are be-
ing used by large wing Of the party,
indeed the larger portion Of Il. because
they are useful In furnishing party
organ. but this same wing would hard
~ like TO see the editor grace the
Junior senator's seat, or Thomas back
again in the senate Therefore they
are looking cautiously at the list ~
eligible colts for the running Of the
grand futurity legislative race. Some
candidates are seeking admission to
the American party ticket for the leg
islature. who are notorious Kearns
men. and who. n elected, would vote
for either OF them Unfortunately for
the senate. Such a candidate Is Doug
las Rodeback reported TO be.
hODEBAAh JlM fS IN
Rodeback has been a trouble maker
in Utah for many moons. and has
shown qualities that would place him
In the running along with the class OF
d. Musty owen. His occupation has
been manager Of the Gentle informa-
ton bureau. sometimes reported to be
secret ally Of the Ministerial associ-
ton
It's work has been so raw, and SO full
OF apparent ISLANDERS and lies that no
man seeking honestly any good end
could afford TO be It's friend. and even
the Ministerial association has risen
with a disclaimer Of afiiliation with IL.
Even IN the National Guard he was a
strife breeder When Col Geoghegan
resigned, court martial charges were
pending against him. and these were
dropped IN the change Of administre-
ton. During his service IN the guard
he carried its affairs and struggles
20 the Tribune Office with a view OF
keeping In harmony with the papers
policy as a state wrecker. R0deback
is young man. He was formerly a
student at the University OF Utah, His
card announcing his candidacy carries
his own name In printed script, fol-
lowed by the statement that he Is out
for a nomination 10 the seventh legis-
lature on the American ticket
ATTACK on WELLS.
For the present American organ at
tack on Wells there is a reason. IL is
that Kearns once counted Wells
among his friends. This was before
he began his career as a state smash
er. and when THAI commenced Wells. OF
course, did not follow. When the
American party was formed, wells
went on the stump for the Republican
party. In the convention Of which he
had Just been defeated. Wells has new
er been accused Of being clannish
man. His personal friends are counted
among old residents Of Utah, and new
residents who are OF religious faiths
far different from that which pioneered
Utah The knockers now fear that a
gentle constituency 20 whom an &C.
clesiastical party leader II only less
distasteful than a party control by sill
yer king dollars. will swing 10 his Ia
vor. Instead OF taking up an Insured
ton strong enough TO land the state
wreckers hack into political harness.
Gov. Wells has made his denial that |
he wants any Office. He has told his |
most intimate friends this. and his po- |
litical associates as well
