FIGHT DISCUSSED
Chicagoan Says Sullivan Has
Better of the Con-
trOversy.
IDOL OF DEMOCRACY
in THE SUCKER STATE
Situation in Idaho Also Dis
cuSsed From American
Standpoint.

~ j. Gravity OF Chicago is in the city
on one OF his periodical visits. Mr..
Gravity is O close observer and shrewd
business man. In conversing with
Tribune representative at the Knutsford,
Mr.. Gravity said that his business
required him to traverse the entire West
ern country. and while he found busi-
ness conditions everywhere prosperous
beyond anything heretofore experienced.
nowhere in his travels has he found
city which gives greater evidence OF
prosperity than Salt Lake. improvements
are being made and projected here far
In advance Of any city OF its Size
with which he Is acquainted. He notes
greater business activity than at any
time during the past ten years OF his
personal knowledge of the city.
1t is evident that the American party
administration is a success greater than
even It's friends anticipated. The growth
Of Salt Lake now cannot be stopped
The railroads, already here and projected
and those which must center here, In
connection with the hundreds of millions
Of wealth in the vast expanse of
country tributary which will require tens
OF thousands of people generations to
develop and bring forth insures future
for Salt Lake not enjoyed by any other
city in the country.
Mr. Crawly's attention being called to
the Sullivan Bryan controversy. he SAID:
Roger Sullivan is near neighbor OF
mine, and about as bright and shrewd
man as Illinois can boast He Is n sue
cessful business man, prosperous, genial
clever, and carries around with about as
much what do you call 1t? Suaveter IN
modo. as any clever Irishman In Chi
cago. He is the idol OF his party,
and Bryan, with all his ancient contempt
for crosses OF gold and horror Of crowns
min M
in which Sullivan is held by the Demo-
Gratis OF Illinois. II is the general opin-
ion that Sullivan has the best OF the con-
troversy up to date.
On Idaho Situation.
Mr. Gravity keeps himself well in
formed on conditions In Idaho. He says
that the fight being made there by Du-
bois is becoming interesting TO the
whole country. "Why is it," he says
that the Mormons of Idaho are unwill-
ing to live under the same laws, rules
and regulations that are prescribed LOT
all the citizens of this country in what
ever State their home may be- The
very fact that they soldly. and with
absolute unanimity, abjure and abandon
their political party affiliations, because
the candidates OF their party stand on
q platform of principles pledged TO the
enforcement of law and punishment OF
otic citizens OF Idaho to rise In their
sovereign power, irrespective of party
and by their votes give them 10 under
stand and realize that never in this
country or any political division OF it,
there shall be one line OF conduct for
the Mormon and another and different
one for the Gentle.
ANY political party that will truckle
to self-styled religious organization
for preferment, the principal stock in
trade OF It's leaders being the blighting
of the life and breaking OF the heart
OF innocent womanhood, ought to be
beaten. They are UNANIMOUSLY wrong and
their defeat should be commensurate
with the enormity Of the crime they are
seeking to placate.
why the way they look at this mat
ter back East is this: Idaho is fast
settling up with class OF people whom
they feel assured will esteem It high
privilege TO assist by their votes to elm
mate the Mormon church from partlci-
patng as a body. by direction of the
priesthood, In political affairs"
