[Apostle Heber J. Grant Diary] Attended a lecture in the Salt Lake Theatre by Hon Frank J. Cannon on "Senatorial Candidates and Pharisees." He made a vile attack on Apostle John Hy Smith, the Church, Mr McCune & myself. He had more to say about me than any one else. If ever I heard a man speak with the spirit of an apostate I listened to one tonight during the senator's remarks. Unless he repents he will soon lose his standing in the Church. I got up to go and thinking I wanted to say something said I should not speak and made a second attack on me. I stood while he spoke. I had not the least desire to say a word. No more than I would had a dog been barking at me.
