OLD SOLDIER BOUNCED:
TITHE-PAYER GOES in
Selection of Fussy, Alias Navajo
Jimmy, Ordered by Hierarch
and Federal Bunch.

Again does the iron hand of the
hierarch, through his plant tools, the
Federal bunch, show that he dominates
absolutely the politics of Utah, This
is shown by the following special dis
patch under date Of July l2:
James il. Anderson will be the next
United States marshal for Utah Son
ator Smoot today filed with the presi.
dent the formal recommendation Of the
Utah delegation IN favor Of Anderson
This appointment of Fussy Jimmy
will mean the greatest shakeup in the
church Republican party that has oc-
CURED since the formation of the party
in Utah, when with wave of his hand
the hierarch. who designated the APP
pointment Of Fussy Jimmy, set apart
one-half of his followers to be Repub-
leans and the other half Democrats.
Worst Possible Selection.
The selection of Fussy, alias Navajo
Jimmy. is the worst possible selection
that could have been made. His record
in Salt Lake county is of kind TINT
q man is not proud of. There were
large number of aspirants for the
place, men who were qualified in every
| particular and who would have re
tlected credit upon the national admin
istration. but these have all been set
aside, turned down for the tithe payer
Anderson, this absolute servant of the
church
That Pussy Jimmy was the man
whom the Federal bunch desired is be-
yond question. He has been the brains
of the delectable gang of pee wees and
kinllies and curlies. and apostles and
elders, and this bunch has at last pre-
vailed upon Sutherland to stand III and
indorse Fussy Jimmy for position

best one IN the gift Of the president.

are deserving the so-called Republican

Present Incumbent a Soldier
The present incumbent Of the United
States marshal 5 office, Lucian H.
Smyth. has held the position since Oc-
tober 20. 1905. He had been chief dep
uty for a number of years prior to mis-
appointment as marshal by Judge Mar

Is no question as to his qualification for
the position. During the nine months

Will Fight Confirmation.
In view Of the fact that Fussv Jimmy
has been recommended by the Utah del
egation there is little doubt that the
president will announce the appointment
within day or two. so that the appoint
ment can be rushed through the senate.
1t is probable that n snag will be struck
in the senate and that confirmation
will be DELAYED, if indeed il is not de-
fcatcd, for there will be n bitter fight
made against the confirmation. as Fus-
sv Jimmy and the federal bunch will
discover.
F'ussy Jimmy is at present chief dep
utv collector of internal revenue. He
will, if confirmed as United States
marshal. step from the place of playing
second fiddle to Curly Callister to
that of boss of the federal bunch, and
those who know Fussy, alias Navajo
Jimmy. know that when he is boss that
he drives. IT VIII be tough on Kinky
