AMERICANS ALL
SHOT TO PIECES
Sheets End of the ts-kearns
Party Have Their Toma-
hawks Out.
WHILE DARMER RETALIATEs
He Has No Use for "the Old Guard
Including the Members of Ig-
nored City Council

That 1t is Il very Ill wind which
blows through the American" party
ranks Is every day becoming more and
more apparent. When Chief of Police
Geo. A. Sheets first found his name
linked with that of thugs and gamblers
there was nowhere so staunch defend
er of that official as the Salt Lake
Tribune.
Today there is nowhere SO loud a
fighter against the Tribune G. this
same man--George A. Sheets. sheets
has massed behind him all of the
Sheets end of the Shects-Kearns party,
and there is on all sides rumble
against the American" organ which is
accused of clawfishing and desertion
Of n comrade when there was no call
to desert him.
On the other hand the American
party hackers under Jerry Darmer
have no use for Sheets, or Tor Kelsey
or for Raleigh, or for the city council
men whom they recently heaped with
insult by passing them completely over
In making the invitation list to eau
Gus that was to decide who these Same
councilmen were to vote for for mayor.
MAD AT MULvEY.
The campaign committee under OAR
mer Is mad at Mulvey because OIL tne
tenderloin odor attaching to him and
his business, and because he has proven
that he cannot be trusted as orig
able balloon Mulvey is mad at the
campaign committee because IL mas
demonstrated that 1t Is practising Win
it's whip hand to keep the couneil III
ling, and perform the duty OF puppet
instead of that of a real ring master.
Davis always did like to be ring
master If ring master there must be
the council members want TO be II
For that reason the breach between
Darrner. heading the Halloran forces:
and the insurgent councilmen, heaueu
by the Mulvey- Martin Black-DaVis
combine, is becoming more marked.
DEADLOCK ON MAYOR.
II Is now so definite that it is entire
lv probable that no mayor Will be elect
ed Monday evening In case OF IAN,
ure TO make a choice. A. j. Davis VIII
become acting mayor through senior
ity of position in the council he
has been acting mayor before ana likes
the place. III the Mulvev~Martin-
iacklDayis combine is not strong
enough to elect Davis mavor. 1t feels
at least strong enough to prevent the
election of Halloran. At present this is
the plan, and then II the worst comes
to worst, Davis can be kept in ONCE
ex-officio, wearing the mayors title
only with the one little disparaging
word of acting before It,
PRETTY FIGHT.
IF those Democrats" said one
American party councilman today,
will only keep out of this hght, anu
mot mix in it in way to drive the
.American" councilmen together LOT
the good of the party. they can sit on
one side and see the prettiest httie
fight that every was"
TRIB TO RESCUE.
That the Tribune is beginning TO
scent the trouble that Is not coming
from afar, but is very close at manu-.
Is evident from an editorial appeal iol
party fealty, printed today. With
blanket charge that everything printed
against the "American" party Is nase-
less rumor, surmise and impudent ~,
ing the paper hastens to urge az,
,Americans" to stand together, ana
threatens those who leave the party
with the charge that they VIII thus
nrove themselves towards.
