SMOOT DENOUNCES
PRESIDENT WILSON

President Wilson's attempted in
reference in the Hillstrom case was
scathingly denounced and set forth
as one big reason why the people
of Utah should not vote the Demo-
cratic ticket by Senator Reed Smoot
in an address at the weekly lunch
con of the Republican county candi-
dates held at the Commercial Club
Salt Lake City recently.
Not two months before he tele-
graphed Governor Spry in behalf Of
Joseph Hillstrom, President Wilson
declined to take any action in the
case of Leo Frank" Senator Smoot
declared. He told 100000 petit
TONERS in behalf of Leo Frank that
he could not interfere with the
rights of sovereign state, By that
we have no choice but to assume
that the president does not consider
Utah a sovereign state, and l can
not understand why he should be
given single vote in this great
state"
