The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1906-09-16


the election of Senator Dubois. The
story, as all well know, was a canard,
but it was used by the Smootite organ
as u stop thief cry to cover the tracks
Of Its apostolic boss. Comes now the
Mountain Home (Idaho) Maverick with
the following;
An Interesting Talk.
"One day last week while Senator
Smoot OF Utah was issuing instructions
to Chairman Brady of the Idaho Repub-
lican Central committee, over the Rocky
Mountain Bell Telephone company's
wires, rather entertaining leak oc-
Cured Not being on the witness stand,
the Maverick will not give details as
to whore, how or why this leak took
place; but parties at both ends Of the
line will know that such was the case
when they read this statement.
f'Senator Smoot was over Salt Lake
way, while Mr. Brady was in Boise,
presumably at Republican headquarters,
There was also there Gov. Gooding, who,
of course made a remark or 80 occa-
sionally himself Another man was
present, at which end Of the line could
not be determined, nor could his name
be distinctly heard who butted into tho
conference now and then, They held
the line for, what appeared to the lis
tener, fully an hour, and grave affairs
of state were guardedly discussed Now,
this is what will convince the gentle
men who were parties to the conference
that this is no fake Senator Smoot
said TO Chairman Brady:
Dough in Plenty
&c Il am sending you $4,000 Of the
money necessary, and under no circums
stances must you let 1t get away from
you
"The 'it' IS supposed to refer to the
Boise Capital News, as it is authori-
tatiyely reported that the paper is now
controlled by the Mormons. The price
paid is said to have been $35, 900, and
the natural supposition is, taken In con
nection with this 1000 message from
the senatorial apostle to the Mark
Hanna of Idaho politics, that one-half
of the money was furnished by the
Mormon church direct and the other
nalf by its Idaho allies. Now, remem-
Der, no bluff at q denial goes; or else
the cat really will be let out Of the
bag"
Chairman Cunningham Of the church
Democratic County committee has ap-
pointed former Mayor Richard P. Nor
ris treasurer Of the committee. Mr..
Morris will assume his duties Monday,
when it is believed the tithing barrel
will be opened,
In its report Of the church Repub
lfcan primaries Friday night the Smoot-
ite organ stated that Myron Whitaker
presided in the Nineteenth district, Mr.
Whitaker did not preside at the meet
ing, he was not at the meeting, he was
home all evening, he Is not church
Republican, he Is an American and has
been for two years, Barring these facts
the Smootite organs report Of the meet
ing was correct.
H P. Mason of the Eleventh district
will be a candidate for Representative
In the Legislature subject to the de-
cision of the American convention
The American Drum corps was out
last night parading the streets, and
stopped and serenaded The Tribune
The corps presents handsome appear
ance in their new uniforms. Later in
the evening they visited the southeast
ern part Of the city, where they de-
lighted the citizens with their music
There viii be special meeting of
the Woman's American club held at
the home Of Mrs. J. Fl. Mellen, No. $40
West First North street, Monday after
noon at 2 o'clock. Mr.. W. A. Holman
will speak on the subject Of "Ameri-
Will sing solo. 1t is important that
the chairman Of each district be pres
ent.
The church Republican State conven-
tion will convene in the Salt Lake The
ater on Thursday. The Smoot slate will
go through like whirl
Complete returns Of all the districts
in Weber county of the primaries held
Friday night have not been received It
is apparent, however, that Howell has
carried the county, as we'll as the city.
While GlasmanD is not an elected dele
gate, you can be sure that he will be
in the convention, anyway. In the first
place, two Of his employees were elected
although he was defeated and he can
take either or both of their proxies
He prefers, however, to gather bunch
of proxies in the county outside of the
city, and will be very strong in the
convention, from Warren particularly
Another popularity of the Ogden pri-
-ea~ies is that Thomas H. Davis, the
present postmaster Of Ogden, who will
be succeeded by Glasmann under ap-
pointment by Joseph Howell, is a sup
porter Of Howell, and will support him
In the convention. There is no talk at
all in Weber county about Christensen;
Friday night the Howell support looked
to be about 60 per cent. Last night it
looked like 50 per cent.
Republican primaries were held in the
five wards of Provo Friday evening, and
in each case the Smoot machine con.
trolled everything, with the exception
Of the First, where Smoot resides. The
ring found some opposition to their
nominee for State delegate, but sue.
ceeded in naming their man. In order
to do this, however, it was necessary
to send three church Democrats, OF
men, whom, it is alleged, voted the
church Democratic ticket at the last
lated with the Democrats. The ole
party workers were given slap in the
face and told to go way back and sit
down The delegates to the Utah coun
ty convention are all for Robert Ander
son, the present incumbent, for County
Attorney, and against the present Sher
