THE SPRINGVILLE
SUGAR FACTORY

For the past year a man by the
name of Ward barley has besn
working up the farmers of Spy q:
vile and Spanish Fork, and he
spent some time in Pleasant
Grove in the interest of establish
ing a sugar factory, promising the
farmers much higher prices for
sugar beets than had heretofore
been paid. After much skirmish-
ing Mr.. barley got the necessary
acreage signed up and left, pro
missing soon to return and erect
the factory.
Wise ones had many misgivings
regarding Mr.. Darley's ability to
make good, because of his record
in other places. The Springville
committee evidently got tired Of
holding the sack" and wrote him
a letter, the following being an
answer thereto:
Mr.. M. o. Packard, Springville,
Utah.
My Dear Mr.. Packard:
l do not wonder that you are
anxious to hear from me, and |
must beg your pardon for not
writing the letter of explanation
OF which l spoke in my telegram
of June IS.
l have been working for many
weeks upon a statement which
will show up the sugar business in
such a way as to dispel the fears
which investors generally have on
account Of the tariff legislation.
| have worked day and night at
this and am just concluding my
researches and will have the state
ment in print very soon. After
that | will be ready for active
work in financing and feel conf
dent of success, but it is absolute
ly necessary for me to overcome
the false Impressions created by
our newspapers at the instance Of
the Sugar Trust, and l feel that
the statement / have worked out
will do this.
l did not expect any such delay
when / started in; in fact, had no
idea to where my investigation
would lead me, but as l say, the
information l have acquired was
necessary for a foundation under
existing circumstances.
/ have no visible evidence to
give to your people at this time,
but can assure you that l am ac-
complishing what / set out to do
and that in the end your people
will have a sugar factory which
will pay them at least so per cent
more for beets than they are get
ting now.
Trusting that you will continue
to be patient with me, and with
best regards to the committee, ]
am respectfully,
WARD BARLEY.

A Texas Ranger.

"a Texas Ranger" Walter Arling-
toms fine four act melodrama, we'll
deserves the credit and attention it is
receiving, from the fact that the play
itself is one of more than ordinary
merit, and the company presenting it
is strong and capable. The entire pro-
duction, including scenery and mechani-
cal effects, is fresh; and every device
within the power of stage mechanism,
is employed in this production. The
author of IA Texas Ranger" has
worked out a most thrilling story; at
tractive to all Americans because of
the obvious truth Of all IT'S conceptions.
The character drawing is almost perfect.
and totally unlike the overdrawn types
that frequently occur in the average
production of today. The story told is
founded on facts; and while it abounds
in sensation and intense interest, there
is no straining for false effects. or
absurd situations. At opera house,

10. At the organization of the state
central committee, at Bismarck, Sept.
2, 1908, Johnson's chief advisors and
friends worked hand in hand with
Mckenzie and against the progress
sives:
a. On the contest from Ransom
county between a stalwart and progress
sive, in which to man they voted, or
lodged voting at all for the stalwart.
And the action taken by the committee
in this case has been we'll denominated
by many stalwarts on the state ticket
and off as disgrace.
b. On the selection of an executive
committeeman from the 4th district,
where the notorious Jim Shea, without
consulting with the committeeman,
named man whom the committeeman
|, refused to stand for. On a roll call
Johnson's friends together with the
McKenzie-Shea forces upheld Shea's
action.
c. On the selection of an executive
committeeman from the 9Th district,
where the committeeman named w. L.
Neussle, of Washburn. Mckenzie
hearing of it, ordered them to name
another man, and part Of them did so.
Taken to the floor of the committee,
the johnson men again, almost to a
man voted for McKenzie's man and
against Mr.. Neussle, who was de-
feated.
d. In the selection of committee
from the 1st district, where c. N.
Erich, Johnson's closest political ad-
visor in his home county, was named
as committeeman against the vehement
protests of Congressman Gronna can
didate on the state ticket. Erich was
McKenzie's man for that district and
that settled it.
e. In the adoption of a platform
where Johnson's friends with Jim Shea
and others opposed the progressive re-
publican planks in that platform which
the other progressives and both Con-
igressmen Gronna and Mr.. Hanna advo-
Gated.
+. In the selection Of we'll known
NJ. N. johnson man for chairman Of
the committee who makes no pretense
Of conducting the state campaign but
has turned it over .''body, mind and
breeches" to James Kennedy, the stall
wart national committeeman.
II. Jud LaMoure, next to Mckenzie,
the most prominent stalwart in the
state. and the political agent for years
of the Great Northern railway, sup.
ported johnson in the primary fight and
is still supporting him. He was his
avowed candidate from the start. AND
LaMoure and Mckenzie never work al
loggerheads, although sometimes on the
surface it may 80 appear.
Il II. The Fargo Forum, the notorious
representative of McKenzieism, which
never takes a stand politically until
orders come from headquarters at St.
Paul is openly supporting johnson, and
the latter's campaign managers are
using the paper to circulate matte,
which they have not the courage to cir.
culate from their own headquarters.
