THE MORMONS AND THE SUGAR DEAL It looks as though the country were at last to get the facts in regard to the alliance between the Mormon church and the republican party—at least the high tariff wing thereof. It has been charged that the Mormon vote in several of the western states was delivered to the republican candidates in return for legislation protecting sugar, this charge having recently been made by an ex-Mormon. It is known, of course, in a general way, that there was a politico-relig-ious “combine.” Now, it is to be hoped we are to get the details, and from Joseph F. Smith, head of the Mormon church, who is to testify next week before the house committee that is investigating the sugar trust. In his testimony yesterday, Lowell M. Palmer, director of the American Sugar Refining company, had something to say on this subject. The trust sent a man out to Utah to “round up’’ the beet sugar people. John Christopher Cutler was the man dealth with. As a result of his trip to the east the first purchase was made. “I was in > favor,’’ said Mr. Palmer, “of purchasing from the Mormons first, because I thought the Mormons could control their people.” When asked whether Cutler was not “a bishop, or something in the Mormon church,” Palmer • said: “I don’t know. We dealt with' Mr. Cutler, and he was a very nice man.” This man Cutler is president of a woolen company, incorporated, under the name of Cutler Bros. Com- ‘ pany, and a director of the Utah-Ida-ho Sugar company, and a member of its executive committee. He has been clerk of Salt Lake county, and governor of the state. Also he is a republican and a member of the Mormon church. These facts are very interesting. That Cutler is interested both in Mormonism and in sugar is, of course, obvious. No doubt he is, also interested in wool, and is oppos-1 ed to the democratic wool bill. It' was with this man that the sugar trust dealt. The country will be glad , to hear from Cutler, and particularly glad to hear from Joseph F. Smith.

tlon in Utah and the neighboring states has, for years, been a disgrace, and scandal. By the way, the appeal of the American Protective Tariff, League ought to meet with an enthusiastic response from Smith, Cutler * and the other Utah "saints.” —Indian-, apolis News, SOCIAL DOING Mr. and Mrs. Ed Miller En-i tertain Company of Friends Last Evening. — PRESBYTERIAN AID Entertained by Mrs. Wilson Lee—Mr. and Mrs. Levi Baker Entertain.

ANOTHER FIGHT Standpatters and Insurgents to Scrap Over Presidential Politics. I TAFT AND ANTI-TAFT The Friends of Beveridge Framing Up Against the President. n ——. Indianapolis Ind., June 17—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Presidential politics is widening the breach between the two factions of the republican party in Indiana. It now seems that by the time the campaign of 1912 is on, the two factions will be known as i “Taft" and "Anti-Taft.” The standpatters will be found in the organization supporting the president’s aspirations to succeed himself and Albert Jere- ' miah Beveridge, with his insurgent forces, will attempt to bring about the election of delegates opposed to Taft. I With no other purpose in view than that of getting revenge, it is said that the Beveridge faithful will fight the president to the last ditch in the republican national convention —provided the Beveridge men get a look-in when that body meets. The insurgents of Indiana are planning to start a I Roosevelt-for- president movement i with the hope of obtaining delegates | upon the waning popularity of the lion-1 hunting president. Once Beveridge | gets control of a handful bf Indiana ! delegates, it is predicted he will throw his support in the national convention 'to Senator LaFolletle. These welllaid plans of the insurgent forces of this state are* of course, no more than just plans. As a matter of fact political prophets here expect the reaction--1 aries, with the force of the federal machine behind them, to gain control of the state organization. The best or--1 of the party are known to be ' with the standpatters and they are already laying their lines to get control of affairs. While the Beveridge state committee has been recovering from the shock received in the last election, the standpatters, who so obligingly kept in the background on that memorable occasion, have been at work. The Fairbanks-Hemenway-Durbin men ' point warningly to the result of the , “didos” cut by the Beveridgeites in the last campaign. Few of the republicans ' seem hopeful of success in the next election and most of their plans are ■ apparently to gain control of the organization. Meanwhile, State Chairman Edwin Lee, who previous to the last campaign, was unknown to state politics, sits on the lid of the state committee. Lee is still chairman, and he refuses to subside, even though the campaign is many months past. Os late he has been touring the state playing the role

i ' ot the dove of peace but it is understood that his mission was singularly unsuccessful. Although an attempt has been made recently to give out , the Impression that Lee is not worshipping at the shrine of Beveridge as of yore, the very fact that he is still clinging tenaciously to the chairmanship disproves the report. There can be but one interpretation of Lee s ' action and that is an attempt by Beveridge to maintain control of the state ' organization by the very simple meth- ' of of not letting go of It. The recent meeting of the repub.l- - members of the last legislator?, for the purpose of promoting harmony, caused a broad smile here. The leaders of both parties are still smiling at the presumtion of the solons, who sueI ceeded in making a general mess of things during the last legislature. There were few real leaders among ' the legislators and when once the radical insurgents, standpatters and statewide prohibitionists got into action, the meeting resembled more a curbstone dog-fight than a harmony fest. The republicans seem to be sufferi ing from a lack of issues for the com- ' ing campaign. They started off with a whoop on the proposed new const!- ’ tution and were doing fairly well when they stuck the party's foot down its throat by starting a suit to determine ' the validity of the method by which ’ the proposed constitution is being submitted to the people. As matters stand now, the new constitution will either receive the endorsement of the supreme court or be thrown entirely out of the campaign by that judicial body. In either case the republicans ' lose their thunder. Although the re- ' publicans do not admit it, their chief ' opposition to the proposed new constitution is known to be based upon the fact that it would prevent the illegal voting of foreigners. In the past the “Grand Old Party” has been accustom 1 ed to reckon with the “hinky” vote as one of its regular assets. - —o DEMOCRAT WANT ADS’ ■ ♦»♦♦♦♦♦♦♦»»♦♦♦♦♦»»♦»♦♦ g t F.W. Finkhousen, D. C.
