Surprise.
GANG WILL DISCOVER
THEY ARE NOT SUSTAINED
If VIII Be Awful, but Drastic
Remedies Have to Be Ap-
piled Occasionally.

'lIuesdav viii be the FIRST real oppor-
tunity that the voters will have te
register in an effective manner their
protest against the federal bunch. y.
said the Prominent Politician TO The
Stroller on Sunday. "And while ! am

protest will be most emphatic one.
''And why should it not be emphatic2 2
Why should this bunch be sustained7 7

bunch has thumbs and fingers: Yet
this little coterie Of peanut politicians
assumes TO do your thinking and mine.
Who Leads the Bunch2
''Who are the federal bunch? The
leader is Peewee Thomas, perpetual
nfice- holder. whose mismanagement of
the Salt Lake postoifice has been and
is notorious, Pouches of valuable letter
mail have lain in his Office thirty-eight
days before being opened and .distrlb-
uted. Complaint after complaint has
been charged against him by your pa.
pei That they were true is beyond
question; otherwise he would have
brought an action for libel. He has
had such a tight grip upon the pub!ic
teat ali his life that he does not want
many years, always in Office, always
public.pap sucker What great enter

command Of his master. Will l sus-

Smoot the Real Master.

more woe, upon great state than any
other man or set OF men in it, This is |
The master Of the federal bunch. This !
is the man they all bow to and crawl |
serpept-like, upon their belly Will l !

the voting machine Tuesday. IN vote !

Mutton Bill' Jones is his friend. His
poor farm site purchase and his good |

AS to Curly callister.
"Another powerful factor in this |
federal bunch. who makes up tickets, |
and then, because you and | are Repub- !
Gcans. orders us TO vote them or else set
aside our choice for president. is Curly |
CaDister. Sweet-scented politician he !,
is. Never bad an original idea in his |
life. Sheepberder by profession, and
who from his study of the crosses in @ |
sheep industry has succeeded in produc. !
ing pretty. nearly purc goat. This is |
demonstrated largely because OF the |
manner IN which he makes prominent |
MS pr1nclpal characteristics- Yet he |
assumes to think for you and for me |
and make up tickets which he declares I,
yon and must vote. He is like Peewee |
IN what he. has done for the state of /
otah.nothlng. Will you vote TO sus- |
tain him? Well, you know.
49,. Another OF this delectable coterie, !
.nas h reoeraI bunch, is Kinky Booth,
than the real. in that he looks wise. |
