GOODWIN'S. WEEKLY. 5
find the secretary, the bookkeeper or the books
themselves. The courts would undoubtedly have
sustained the demand of the attorney, but the
time before the annual election was so short that
It was not considered worth whle to enter into a
suit that could not bo settled soon enough to
benefit the complainants.
On the other hand it may be said in behalf
of the management that the sudden demand for
access to the records on the eve of an election
looked more like the strategem of an enemy than
a thirst for knowledge.
But if the Bambergers are bent on a policy of
secretiveness they can find no better teacher
than the person who is collecting proxies for the
insurgents. His office in the Judge building was
invaded this week by a representative of Good
win's Weekly in search of the latest returns on
the electoral contest.
"Is this Mr. Milton D. Jacobs?" asked the
scribe in a moment of absent mlndedness.
"Joseph," corrected the man at the desk,
and then he bit his lip in vexation that he had
-been betrayed into a confession of such magni
tude. His loquacity ceased then and there.
"When did the dissatisfaction of the stockhold
ers first begin?" was asked.
.. "I have nothing to say."
v .- "How are the proxies coming in?" ,
Y "I have nothing to say."
"Do you think it is going to rain?"
"I have nothing to say."
By this time the seeker for information had
sized Mr. Joseph up and reached the conclusion
that he was telling the simple truth. Moreover
the leporter was thankful that Mr. Joseph was
not one of those fellows who has nothing to say,
but doesn't know it.
The present insurrection, it appears, is not
,the first attempt that has been made to unhorse
the Bamberger management of the Daly-West.
,Four years ago, soon after the first decline in
"stock values, there was a small uprising which
amounted to little. The decline had not gone far
enough then to sour good tempers and produce
the characteristic symptoms of losers' grouch.
Neither side in the fight that is to be settled
in Denver week after next is telling what it has
in reserve. If either should tell you you may

know It Is not true. It Is thought that some 180,
000 shares will he represented at the meeting
and that approximately 90,001 shares will he
needed to insure victory.
The Bamhergers have not said puhllcly that
they will put the reserve at interest and give
more publicity to the affairs of the company If re
elected, but there Is little doubt In the minds of
their adherents that they are prepared to do all
that the insurgents promise.
It may be just as well, when you come to
think of It, that the Daly-West's $300,000 surplus
was not invested in interest-bearing securities at
the time of the financial squall which burst so
unexpectedly fifteen months ago. If It had been
so Invested it would not be 300,000 now. The
drop in the market values of even the best securi
ties has been much greater than the possible interest.
POLITICAL BREEZESTHEIR HURRI

Speaking of messes, how would you like to
be a Federal Buncher? Time was when all that
came to Harry Joseph from the bunch at whose
feet he worshipped were pats on the back. Now
even jimmy Anderson is sorry at the reception
he is getting up the street, and Harry Joseph's
only consolation Is to tell how approvingly his
acts were looked upon before the votes were in
the Smoot corrall.
Heber J. has proved within the week that he is
prohibition mad, and who he shoots down while
he's off the reservation on his rampage doesn't
matter. But it develops the interesting question
of how far he can go before a mission to Mexico
interferes with his labors.
In the meantime the sickest group of poli
ticians that ever sat in at an official spanking are
"taking theirs" from Heber and trying to look
pleasant. And why was prohibition? The Smoot
Mouth started the game Itself. From the com
plexion of the bill that the prize bunch framed
up in the long Cullen hotel session, it is certain
that the bunch had the bill under consideration
a long time. Just as Tillman played politics with
a state machine on booze in South Carolln, this

bill "Tlllmanlzed Utah" by making of the license j
privileges nothing more or less than an lmmenso f
machine asset. jH
Meanwhile Senator Hulaniski has brought in M
another bill, providing for decent restriction un- M
der high license and a fund for the roads out of j
the license money. Taken with the Buncher bill j
and the Cannon got-her-dry bill, it represents the jfl
field of legislative entries. And Hulaniski has H
backed his measure up with a statement that
never while he lives will he be caught voting for M
absolute prohibition. Standing with Hulaniski are !
enough senators to make it certain that prohi-
bition will not become actual, in spite of the H
campaign being waged by its advocates. jH
Heber J. got his once during the open season j
of argument that preceded the wild passion with j
which events move just now. He accused a Fed- IH
eral Buncher with having made a deal to sell out jH
the pee-pul his dear pee-pul for a booze bottle H
of votes. jH
"Well," replied the buncher, "supposing it's H
true for the sake of argument, then If we hadn't !H
have sold out, the 'American' party would have
won the recent election, and If they had won the rH
election, I know at least one high in authority H
in this prohibition movement, that wouldn't be ,H
making charges he'd be hunting a warmer cli- jH
mate for his health. And its' damn bad grace for 1H
the beneficiary of any deal to bo the chief squaler H
against It." H
Reed Smoot has now given his own people a fl
pretty good example of his peculiar talents and H
his way of doing business. What they think of S
it only Heber J. can tell, and he won't at least M
outside of the quorum, and what's happening to wM
Reed just inside isn't ready for publication. Al- H
together, Utah is having the hottest legislative H
season in many years. H
The way the Cullen hotel conference's booze H
bill got to the legislature was one of its hottest H
moments. Col. Ed. Loose, handed to Henry Gard H
ner the presidency of the senate on a platter, and H
when no senator could be found so anxious to H
commit political suicide as to introduce the ma- H
chine made measure, Gardner was drafted to re- H
turn his ancient obligation. How he did it is well H
known, and the net result Is that his bill Is before H
