ATTORNEY J. A. SNEDDoN
intjmated that He is the Head OF the

May Come up to Logan and lnsur-

When the announcement was re-
Gently made in local paper to the
effect that we had in our midst some
local soscaled insurgents and that
they were taking steps to organize,
we thought it was another case of
"just talk. that's all" but recent de-
yelopments seem to confirm the re-
mort and it will not be at all surpris-
ing to hear of an organization of this
kind. It recently came to us that the
Honorable John A. Sheldon while
ostensibly on Peach Day Trip" to
Brigham City, had stuffed the crowd
and hiked to Ogden to go over the
political situation of the state with
Ogdens mayor the Honorable William
Glassman. At first we discredited the
statement lat the same time we were
mindful of the fact that the erudite
attorney was a master in the art of
political organizing, having achieved
great fame in other states before his
advent in Utah. In order that we
might not do injustice and to avoid
any mistake in the matter we inter-
viewed Mr.. Sheldon on the subject.
We found him at his desk thorough
ly engrossed in legal matters, with
the many weighty problems pertain
ing to the well being of great coun-
ty bearing heavily upon him.
He received us with the grace Of
a model entertainer and dispensed
legal lore with such aptitude that he
might we'll be considered as sue
cessor to the recently retired Cana
dian premier. ut is reported that you
recently made a trip to Ogden, Mr.
Sheldon" was asked. Yes, that is
correct" was the quick reply. How
about the political situation was the
next question. "Oh. ! was not In the
city long enough to get any informa'
ton on that point. just went down
on private business" said the attor
ney. did you talk with Mayor Glass
mani" Eyes. | just went down on
some business pertaining to the leas
ing of some land for our people, and
incidentally met Bill. Bill is an OLD
friend of mine you know, and we
talked over different things in com
mon but said very little on politics,
was the response. you are quoted as
being the head and forefront of an in
surgent movement in this county Mr.
Sheldon, is that true?" well, now
It is expected that Bill will come here
and talk, but can't say just when
made no arrangements with him, al
had no authority to do so, but Bill
win be up here later on"
What do you think of the insur
gent movement, Mr. Sheldon" asked
the newspaper man? The attorne!
took side glance at some papers
"Confound that Whitmer case. II thos
session laws had only been delivere'
in time" came forth in muffled tones
"Oh, yes, certainly, the insurgents
the progressives, why they are tn
only Simon pure Republicans, an
we feel that the other fellows hav
wandered away from the principles G
Abraham Lincoln. We desire 1t undel
stood that we are Republicans and W
are not going to bolt any tickets. w
are good Republicans and are nc
going to be read out of the part!
There is a rumor that certain one
have been read out of the party, an
this we are not going to stand for
WIN you let us know when Mr. Glas
man is coming, Mr.. Sneddon?" wa
asked. Certainly" was the polite r.
ply, and the interview ended.
