Americans. the Herald will regret that 1t
recently turned its columns over TO its
sporting editor TO lambaste DoWse on
personal account. The Herald Is COM
mltted 10 q declaration that Sam Is
professional hlrellng, who was chased out
OF Goldneld because of his action In the
Carbon county coal troubles OF three
years ago, and had attempted to lntlml-
date its sporting editor at the saucer
track. 1t was the most savage attack on

one of the brightest young men in the
State. He is likewise a good campaign
er. His friends say that he could wnllop

drum corps.
Congressman HowelPs friends are un-
easy lest they be unable TO renominate
him, His support of the notorious Bill
Glasmann has put Weber county in a fer
ment that increases In activity with the
approaching OF the convention. And
Grand county is now bitter against How
ell for his recommendation OF Bishop
Johnson for the Moab postmastership.
Additional to this Is the fact that there
is none who can point 10 a thing during
Howells official career creditable to the
State. He has been a hgurehead. Even
members OF Congress do not know who
he is further than that he is the Utah
member. He is the tool of Smoot. moth
Ing more.
Constituents say he will not treat let
ters in confidence and point to the fact
that letters OF protest against Glas-
mann's appointment were turned over to
Glasmann by Howell This policy has
brought the Congressman into the su-

him letter or any subject they would
object to making generally public
The Americans will establish head
quarters within the next week Effective
work is doing In many parts of the coun-
ty. The number Of private assurances
that come TO the organization that Re-
publicans and Democrats who stuck 10
their organization last year will vote
with the Americans this year, encourage
the more enthusiastic ones In claiming
that the Americans will have a walk
away,
Smootites and Morrisites declared last

American victory. Have you felt It, Mr.

that is sweeping the Salt Lake valley.
The Tribune has expended and Is about
to expend nearly $500, 900 in Improve
ments and for new home This home
will be occupied during the present
month A troup of laborers and me-
chancs have been employed at good
wages in the construction work for more
dollars thus go into the pockets OF the
toilers.
Not knocking very much, is this7
Pretty substantial evidence OF faith In
the town, don't you think?
Fact is, do the hyenas who howl against
this great institution not look pretty
small In contrast with the enterprise
which The Tribune is showing?

Chairman Hammond is credited with
the directing Of the policy of the Smoot
appendix or "gutter-snlpe," as 1t is
generally called these days. 1t is said
the State committee conferred such pow
ers on him. II Jim really directs this
journalistic jackal contract with the
Smoot machine and ''Fussy Jimmy" has
contaminated the former Secretary Of
State he Is swifter than his friends be-
lieve 1t possible.

the grounds that Jody Eldredge has shut
