.'Well, my boy, see that Fussy jim
my has won the prize which he has so
long sought, the United States marshal
ship uf Utah. said the Prominent Poll.
tician TO The Stroller on Tuesday. "Do
you suppose that had the president OF
the United States ever had good look
at him or had even seen photograph
of him that he would have sent his
rame TO the senatef' continued the
Prominent Politician.
"This appointment is an awful blow
10 the younger element il the party;
it is a body blow TO the older. tt is
an open statement to all in the church
Republican party that the hierarch,
through the federal bunch, is the boss.

Fussy's Church Pedigree.
1.-The chief qualification Of Fussy,
alias Navajo Jimmy. for the place is
that he is devout churchman, who al
ways heods the Word of Wisdom; that
hc has been ordained a deacon, then 4
priest, was one of the seven presidents
of the second quorum of seventy. and
senior president of the one hundred and
tenth quorum of seventy; that he has
been a missionary in Salt Lake stake,
likewise il other lands. has been n
travelling elder in several districts iu
England. editor cf the Millen,al Star in
Liverpool, author of number of tracts
on Mormonism, and Mutual Improve
inent lecturer. These arc the principal
qualifications. he has for the position
of United States marshal. and You can
1eadily see from this church pedigree
why the herarch wanted him in the
marshal S office.
His Political Pedigree.
"In the church political world Of
Utah he has been the gumshoer and
principal whisperer for the church Re
publican party. He was commissioner
Of Salt Lake county one term, elected
commissioner that the celebrated Nav
aio blanket incident occurred wherein
nc acquired the sobriquet OF Navajo
Jimmy. 1t was during his term as com
missioner that he made a trip to Chi
rago Were he established himself as
up to date he has never been able to
eNplaiu an appropriation of 800 made
for that Irip frCm the funds of the
county lie was once chairman Of the
church Republican state committee of
Utah. i,a!teIly, he has been chief der
NY coneciof OF internal revenue Tor
tlE internal revenue district and the
S7a-ding hard OF the federal bunch
shaving. therefore, had pull at the
public teat. he has become so attached
10 it that ne cannot let go. and. like
Peewee Thomas, has a strangle hold.
To loosen hiss grip would mean that the
sun would stand still.
Difficult to Understand.
H1t has long been known that Apos-
J. Smoot intended to make Fussy
rqmmy marshal 1t has long been
Smoot for the appointment because he
had TO. But in view of the fact that
Sutherland had opposed the re-elec-
'tion Of Smoot and had said, il is stated.
IN letter, that 'at proper time and
place no would explain why ne opposed
Smoot's return TO the senate, / can
not understand how he came to give his
assent TO the appointment of Fussy
Jimmy. Possibly he has read the hand
~Titing on the wall, which, interpreted
means that he is TO be rclegated after
March 3, 1911.
But getting down TO brass tacks,
this appointment of Pussy Jimmy is an
outrage upon the real Republicans IL
Utah, the men who have always stood
at the front and borne the brunt of bat
tie. There are a hundred men in the
church Republican party who Tere en-
titled TO the position before Fussv
Jimmy. The man whom he will sue
ceed was more deserving in every way
than this servant of tho church. The
present incumbent was soldier in the
Civil war, fighting 10 preserve the
union, when the leaders of the church
60 which Fussv Jimmy belongs were
'denounclng the government, ac
eording TO an official letter from p
Edward Connor,. brgadier general
Vn1f faH Sfnt vol tpfo
district of Utah. with headquarters at
Camp (now Fort) Douglas, to the as
sstant adJutant general, u. S. A., San
Francisco. This letter, printed In Apos-
lie Whitney history of Utah, declares:
Denounced the Government.
That the tabernacles and places OF wor-
ship resound each Sabbath with the most
outrageous abuse of all that pertains to
tue government and the union; hence do
their prayers ascend loudly from the
h2usetops Tor continuance Of the war
Till the hated union shall he sunk.
'At that time Fussy Jimmy, ac-
cording 20 the Latter-day Saint Bio
graphical Encyclopedia, was member
Of the Sixth ward Sunday school and
n dlhgcnt worker. So a union soldier
q deserving man. the commander of the
department II Utah q. A. X. is bounced
IN order that Fussy Jimmy can have a
job. 1t is such acts as this that make
real Republican sick.
And yet the church leaders OF the
church Republican party are constantly
piating about men who differ with them.
%ao denounce such appointments as this
one OF Fnssy Jimmy, as being knockers
against Utah.
