CAMPAIGN AGAINST STEPS TO LECALLz SCANT RECOGNITION
THE ILLEGAL SALE COLLECTION plan AROUSES MOOSERS
OF DRUGS PLANNED BY THE LAND BOARDN STATE OF utah
Progressives Declare They
Have Been Sighted and
Will Make the Fight
Alone in Future.
(Salt Lake Tribune.)

(Salt Lake Tribune.)
Thoroughly disgruntled at the scant
recognition received in the way of ap-
pointments under the new state admin
istration the Progressive leaders of
Utah have instituted a campaign for
strengthening the party with view to
going It alone" during the campaigns
two and four years hence.
AS to the work Of the legislature, the
Bull Moose leaders express themselves
as well pleased with the results OBJ
tanned and express the opinion that
more was accomplished in the way OF
progressive legislation by the Twelfth
Utah legislature than by any other in
the states history.
Some of the laws enacted were not
all in the way OF Progressivism that
some of the Bull Moosers desired, but
on the whole they express pride in
what was accomplished. But the ques-
ton Of recognition by the administra-
ton in the way of appointments is an
other matter, inasmuch as Stephen H.
Love as a member of the board of re-
gents of the University Of Utah is the
only Bull Mooser included in the gov
ernor's recommendation to date.
TO MAKE LONE FIGHT.
The movement for a more complete
| organization, however is not entirely
| local, as a similar campaign has been
| inaugurated throughout the country. In
connection with the general campaign
Progressive National Committeeman
A. T. Moon has sent letters to Bull
Moose county leaders throughout the
state urging that immediate steps be
taken to form a strong organization
! and prepare to make a lone fight in
| future campaigns.
In this campaign Mr.. Moon is direct
ing the work of the intermountain
country on behalf of Progressive ma
tional headquarters. Letters appealing
for cooperation and suggesting the
method of operation have been sent to
Bull Moose leaders in every county of
Utah and to those Of many counties in
Colorado, Idaho and Nevada In turn
the county leaders are directed to send
copies of the letter to all Progressives
in their respective counties.
