Iron County record. [volume] (Cedar City, Utah) 1893-1982, 1907-07-12

Lake City is soon to be left without
newspaper organ; that is. il the
Tribune owners carry out their pres
ent design, which no doubt they will,
in part, at least. The part that may
be regarded as settled upon is the de
se1tion of the American" party by
the Tribune.
You members of the "Americqn"
party who lay claim to fair amount
of decency, Truth gives you this
tip that you may get in out OF the
wet before being thoroughly soaked.
You know that in the past Truths
tips have been absolutely square and
this one is perfectly in line.
We will give few reasons and
facts, some of which you are unao-
quainted with, aud others you may
readily recognize as within your own
recent observation.
The Tribune will, in the near flu
ture, if, indeed it has not already
done so before this paper comes from
the printers hands, make PROPOSE
tion to leaders of the Mormon church
tending toward peace. If the propo.
sltion is accepted, that paper will
cease abruptly its campaign of Stand
er and abuse. This may seem start
ling statement, in view of the depths
to which the sheet has descended but
the statement rests upon substantial
facts.
The Tribune will not ask the church
to do much; in fact, all it wants is
an excuse to flop over into the repub
lican ranks. 1t is looking for an
easy spot to alight upon, and If pos
sible to claim that the Tribune has
accomplished it's mission of reform.
You know that Frank Cannon
marched the Tribune shoulder to
shoulder with the democratic party,
and even under its protecting aegis.
But it's owners now realize that all
prestige the Tribune aver won was
when it was the representative in this
state of the republican party nation.
ally therefore they want to get it
hack there. Frank Cannon has not
done any writing on the Tribune for
months, and Is not likely to ever
write for it again. He is physical

readily some further reasons why the
Tribune wants peace. They may re-
call the statement that Kearns intends
to leave Utah, and take up his resi-
dence in California, his wife having
decided to remain there. 1t may be
understood that of late Kearns and
Keith have lost large number OF
their financial friends; Willard Sny-
der, Frank Knox, Mayor Thompson,
Gus Holmes and Jack Lynch have
parted company with the unsavory
pair. There are others, and the
breach is wide.
= The Silver King mine, too, is mer.
ged with the Heinze interests in this
State, and large smeter is to be
built. Heinze doubtless will assume
control of the new concern, placing
Kearns and Keith on the retired list.
Kearns has not much of an income
since the bottom fell out of the orig
inal Silver King mine, and cannot
afford to run the Tribune long at
loss. He knows that his paper is in
bad condition, and cannot survive
long unless it changes front. The
american party is on the rocks,
and cannot possibly last more than
another campaign, even with the sup.
port of the Tribune.
Tom doesn't want his paper to go
down with the american" party.

now where the Tribune has drifted to.
lie secs that Cannon, being a demo
crat aud some harder things az we'll,
took it clear out OF the republican
ranks aud committed Il to Democratic
policies. Through It, President
Roosevelt aud leading United Stntos
Senators were aasailed, and called
traitors, bribetakers, and almost ev-
erything vile. The few Subscribers
which tho Tribune has left are main
ly OF the republican faith, and cannot
be switched into the democratic rank.
A presidential campaign will be on
shortly, and tho Tribune will be
forced to take sides between the ma
tional parties. The place it occupied
for more than score Of years, as
