TRIBUNE MASK REMOVED.

! TRIBUNE MASK REMOVED.
! Now that the Salt Lake Tribune
has thrown off its mask. one would
wonder what argument it is going &c
use with the Republican voters OF
Salt Lake to induce them TO vote the
Tribune ticket. SO long as the Trib-
une pretended TO be an advocate OF
+ Republican principles in national af-
| fairs, it could go with some grace To
/ the American" party voters who fol-
low the dictation of the Tribune in To-
cal affairs. 1t was able to say here
tofore that the Tribune party was or
/ ganized for the purpose of purely
/ local achievements. Now il cannot
give that excuse. since ii has come out
I openly for a Democrat for United
States senator and the Democratic
candidate for Congress.
On Tuesday morning the following
appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune:
Either refuse TO vote for members
OF the legislature who Will vote
10 return Sutherland TO the Sen
ate, vote against them, or vote
AbL ulcABCfH OF the leElSlaLu
who viii not support the man
who has betrayed you.
Cast your ballot against Howell or
refrain from voting. A vote for
Howell is a vote 10 add 70 the
burden or life for yourself and
for everyone else. He has done
absolutely nothing for Utah.
OF course, the Tribune editor who
wrote that knew he was uttering a
falsehood when he published it. He
knows just as much about the record
Of Congressman Howell as do the
others Of Is. and he knows that Con-
gresham Vowel has accomplished
much for Utah during his tenure Of
service in the lower house Of Con-
gress. and he knows that Mr.. Howell
is better equipped than ever before
to continue that work.
This appeal. OF course. is made as
a part OF the deal that has been made
by the Salt Lake Tribune with the
leaders OF the Democratic party in
Utah. Ii is done in support of Fer
dinand Erickson. the Democratic
candidate for Congress. and in sup
port Of a Democratic legislature, which
viii vote for a Democrat for the
United States Senate, this Democrat
TO be named by the Salt Lake Trib-
une. This Democrat will be a man
OF the leanings of John S. Bransford.
or o. ". Powers. Each is a Demo-
crat In national politics and viii sup
port the free trade policy of his
party if he should be chosen by the
Tribune to represent the people Of
Utah in the greatest lawmaking
body in the world. the United States
Senate.
Bransford has been under the
thumb OF the Tribune ever since he
first took the oath of office as mayor
OF Salt Lake. and he could be depend
ed upon If the Tribune sent him TO
the United States Senate TO do ex-
actly as he is told. o. W Powers IS
the attorney for the Tribune
Powers could be depended upon by
the Tribune as an absolutely safe
man in the Senate. and with his in
huence here in Utah. and the Demo-
cratic leaders could depend upon him
as a free trade Democrat TO oppose
the Republican principle OF protec-
ton to the American workingman.
Fred T. Dubois. the Democratic
ex-senator Of Idaho. and the political
partner Of the management of the
Tribune. has left US desolate. He
was brought here TO carry out the
deal made by the Tribune with the
Democratic leaders Dubois was 10
help Frank J. Cannon keep the Cen
tiles in line for the ticket. Dubois
was carefully instructed as 10 the deal
and the part he was to play in it be-
fore he began work. Dubois talked
too much. however, and here is what
he said:
The Democratic leaders in Utah fig
Dre that they can turn over one
fourth OF the Democratic vote in
salt Lake county to the Amer
lean" party, because they are
anxious to beat the Republicans
and they realize the only way
they can do this is to help the
Whether Dubois was sent back TO
Idaho for talking too much is not
known. but it is more probable that
he found that he could do nothing.
The thorough ventilation that has
been given the deal has served to put
the people on their guard. Cannon
has kent thOrOughlv ouiet for mora
than a week. II is painfully evident
that Cannon also has been able 10 do
nothing. The malodorous deal is re-
acting upon its promoters very
strongly. It is a safe bet that they
are sick OF il themselves. but with !
the Tribune delivering the goods |
every morning. the Democratic lead
ers can do no less than carry out
their share OF the plan.
