That S,erat-,- ,-,r..,. ~ .r5
Rhode Island, flushed with his victory
i'm the railroad rate fight. has now con-
tracted to keep Reed Smoot in his
somewhat wobbIy and uncertain seat.
Is a charge made by opponents Of
Utah's apostolic senator.
Several boastful kilograms from SEN
ator Smoot have been received i'm Salt
Lake during the past week. one Of
them read.
My battle here is won"
Another one from the senator de-
clared.

HAS AIdrich's Promise"
To know what Senator Smoot meant
by his claims. a telegram was sent
from Zion Friday to q man i'm Wash
IngtOn who has mis- own reasons for
keeping tab on the case inquiring the
status of the case and asking if Smoot
had any ground for his bu0vant con-
hdence- In reply the following mes
sage was received yesterday:
Shoots kilograms are premature,
but he has AldTich' s promise
The reply added that there was still
probably fair chance that 2 vote
would be forced both i'm the commit
tee and i'm the open senate before con-
gress adiOurUs.
Is Republican Play.
Notwithstanding this probably fair
chance however. the anti-Sm0ot people
in Salt Lake are more cast down now
than they have been AT any period du-
ring their long campaign Dispatches
to the Salt Lake papers yesterday morn
ing added To their dependency and
diSquietUde, for those dispatches con
CURED i'm stating that the Republican
congressional committee is cracking the
party lash to save SmoOt, on the plea
that TO Gust means the loss to the
party Of several congressman i'm the
lnteTmOuntam states this fan
The attitude of the Republican con-
gTeSSIoual committee is given as the
reason why Republican members of
the senate committee on privileges and
tlttlpiS dlr NolEluE jfe meetings Of
the latter committee and why Senator
DoIIiver Of Iowa. who evidently holds
the balance Of power on the commit
tee, found IL convenient to leave Wash
ingtOn for Atlantic City Thursday night
after he had been duly notified that the
committee would meet the next day
TO consider the SmOot case.
Are Playing for Delay.
