The hardest rap yet handed to William

Associate Apostle Sutherland IN Weber

day afternoon at n meeting held In the
office of the Smootite organ, in this city,
for the purpose OF organizing what is
TO be known as The Utah Republican
Editorial association" LIE Roy Arm
strong. the copperhead Democrat editor
of the Smootite organ also was turned
down for the presidency, but was made
vice president. Under ordinary circum-
stances no one would have thought for
a moment of turning Glasmann down for
the place. But, then, the circumstances
were not ordinary. The fact is that the
revolt against the Smoot machine has
reached such proportions that the men
opposed TO the dlctation and domination
OF the apostle. do not propose to ele-
vate any man who wears the Smoot col
lar, and, especially, no man who exhibits
his badge of serfdom with such enthu-
siastic eXultation as that exhibited by
Glasmann. From every point of view,
under ordinary circumstances, again,
Glasmann should have been made presi-
dent OF the association. Glasmann is
State organizer for the so-called Repub-
lican party of Utah; Glasmann is act
ing for the National Republican organ
ization; Glasmann sent out the invita-
tions and notices respecting the organ
izatlop OF The Utah Republican Editor
ial association" In fact, Glasmann was
the whole thing-the moving spirlt-in

In spite OF all this, however a handful
OF decent men, who still call themselves
Republicans, refused to swallow the nau-
seous dose. and had so we'll done their
work against Glasmann that his fellow
Smootites did not dare present his name.
Instead, they presented the name OF LIE
