PROVO. Aug. 22.-"Well. what do you
think of that?" CALCULATED Col, Loose Ed
when he picked up The Tribune
this morning and read the resolution
against the Smootite organ, adopted by
the Republican State committee Tuesday.
The gall Of them fellers! What do they
want. anyway? Here they gets in and
elects Jimmy Hammond-Hebe Wells's
man-chairman OF the committee and
then to rub II In they wants Jimmy TO
run the whole blooming shooting match.
That's what I calls nerve.
Here, me and Reed and Sutherland
goes out and put UP our good coin TO get
Blunck to come out here and start a pa
per. Well Blunck comes across all
right and starts the paper and what he
did to me aud Reed and Sutherland was
plenty. You know 1t, boy. Huh. but
that fellow skins us to a frazzle Well.
as soon as he gets his we'd he ducks for
the East and leaves me and Reed and
Sutherland a-holding the sack. OF course
we has TO keep Armstrong and his fam
lily, for We can't git nobody else TO do
the kind of work we wants.
Gives Provo Man Pain.
But It shorely does give me a pain
the way them fellers handed 1t into the
organ Here me and Reed and Suther-
y
the past six months-and say, boy, If
you think its q sinecure edith that pay
roll you can have another guess. It's
just a plain case Of dig all the time.
When we puts McAllister IN as business
manager we thought that the church
would come over in run, But IT didn't.
I was agin Mack, but Callister and
Fussy Jim said as how he'd been writin'
ads for the q. C. NJ. l., was a returned
n1ios hul Cd nj
for two weeks once and was the very
man for the place and me and Reed
knocked under. Well. we puts Mack In.
and say-but excuse me, for ] don't want
TO say anything about a returned mis-
sionary, except that l wish they'd a
kept Mack over there for few more
years.
But. that resolution: Just let that fan
around in your attic awhile till you get
thoroughly acquainted with it. Amt 1t
a peach? Here's what / want to know:
Where does me and Reed and Sutherland
get of II Jim Hammond Is a goln' to
dictate the policy. Its '23 for us and
you know It.. In the first place, Jim
wants 10 be candidate for Congressman.
when everybody knows that me and
Reed and Sutherland has promised the
place to Joe Howell Joe's our kind Of
people and we are agoin' TO stand by
him. or course. we puts up Farley P,
20 keep Hammond out OF II. but Parley's
made such mess OF everything that you
cant mention his name no more without
a-gettlng the laugh.
But the Resolution.
But that resolution. That's what IS
a-stickin in my craw. and It's there for
keeps. Bullen was the only man we had
on the committee as had the nerve TO
vote against 1t. but what was one vote
against thirteen. Say, don't tell me any
more that thirteen amt unlucky num-
Der. Me and Reed and Sutherland knows
II a-plenty. We's up against 1t and
that's all there is to II. telephones Spry
and Callister and Hi Booth and 'Fussy
Jim today and ! gets no consolation.
They all says We are II and that We got
TO let Jim Hammond run things. Reed
and Sutherland says the same thing and
I knocks under again. But, say, boy.
let me Just git this under your hat; If
Jim Hammond and Hebe Wells are u
goin' 10 run the paper. you can just bet
they will be comm across with the ma
yuma. for me and Reed and Sutherland
don't propose TO put UP and shut up at
the same time. Hull"
