LINING UP CROWD
CHURCH POLITICIANS
SmOOt and PenrOse Will

Week.
SM00TITE COMMITTEE

Martineau Committee on Fri

Leaders Must Work.

church crowd of politicians this week
with the meeting of the Smootite and
Martineau committees. The first men
toned incorporating under the name
of Republican, will meet Tuesday
morning in the office of the State Land
Board. AT this meeting United States
Marshal Spry's resignation will be
acted upon, While ostensibly retiring
from the Craftsmanship of the commit
tee and from the committee, he will
not retire at all, but will still keep his
hand on the gun. The hierarchy Know
Spry too well to permit him to step
down and out. He was placed IN the
marshal s Office by the hierarchy to do
their bidding, and he was placed at the
head of the committee for the same
purpose. The band of twcnty-si1 de-
pend upon Spry; they have moro con-
fidence In him than in Curly Callister,
hence, while his resignation will be
accepted by the committee and Spry
will thus evade the executive order,
the Tooele member of the committee
will, as said above, still keep his hand
on the gun. Another resignation will
be that Of A. Fred Way. The genial
hotel man Is tired of politics; rather
he is tired Of the crowd which is in
control In Utah, Every indication is
that Judge Morse will remain on the
committee. As to a successor TO Spry,
Maj. Myton is the most talked about.
True, the Major is not n member Of
the State committee, but he will be
made a member Teusday and, then his
friends will push him to the front
Bill Lynch, erstwhile Chief Of Police
now chairman of the State Land
ship, but he win be relegated.
As to the Martineau committee, Mar
tineau being the head of the city and
county church Democratic committee,
and also usurping the functions of ST.
mon Bamberger, chairman Of the Dem
ocratic State committee, will meet on
Friday Mr.. Bamberger will retire
from the committee at this meeting.
He has had to bear the burden for the
Democracy, has raised the funds to
meet the expenses Of past campaigns, in
fact has been the beast Of burden.
But when the dress parade act is to
be done MIR. Bamberger is crowded to
the rear and n churchman pushed to
the front. No wonder Mr.. Bamberger
is tired, No wonder that he wants to
retire.
The orators for church Democratic
day at Saltair on Thursday have not
