AMMoNs RoASTs THE
 WASHINGTON LOBBYISTS

Special Nugget Service.
 SALT LAKE, June 6.-GOvenor Am
 mons made a spirited address here to- day in which he declared that lobby is now maintained at Washington for the purpose of furtherin9 the idea of putting the west under the lsasehold system. This system he declared to be one of the most internal with which the lands of any country could be saddled and he sxhorted all the people of the West to fight it as long as they possibly could.
 The meeting of the governors and the government representatives which is now taking place is receiving the greatest amount of attention from all sides as it is expected to make quite a change in the attitude of the Issis- lators towards the west.
