Principal Phillips became involved in a political dispute which spilled out on the pages of the Sun and The Standard. Phillips, a Democrat, was attacked in print by Rhodes and Pash of the law firm of the same name. Phillips, Rhodes, and Pash were all Democrats but the latter two felt Phillips was harmful to the Democratic Party of the territory, but felt confident that such microbes as Phillips will be spewed out by Democracy. Pash was particularly vitriolic in his remarks suggesting that the M.A. that follows Phillips name refers to Miserable Ass and that Phillips was both a liar and a fool. This political dispute was a major reason for Phillips short tenure as Academy principal. 25. Official announcement of Wilford Woodruff, George Q. Cannon, and Joseph F.
