Discusses Utah Bosses.

Have We any bosses in Utah? For
four years at least I have been con-
WINGED that we have. Our bosses in
Utah. however. are above the aver
age OF bosses In other states. I think
they are considerably superior 10 the
average bosses. I speak the truth, !
am not iestinE when ! say that no
charge OF graft or bribery can be
brought against them. They have not
used money very uniawfully ! am
certain that the conspicuous bosses
in this state have not been the re-
cipients Of one tainted dollar. But
they have held Office and did that
with considerable success. AS un-
derstand II the affairs Of their offices
have been well administered.
But four years ago when tho gov
ernor OF this state, who had served
the people well and made an excellent
record, as good as that Of any gov
cTnor before or since that time
sought denomination these bosses
decreed otherwise. The governor han
served the people with credit To the
state and everlasting honor 10 him
self. Under all precedents ne was
entitled TO a second term. But. when
