j AMONG THE POLITICIANS I Nothing has proved so interesting to tho 1 local Democracy as the announcement that tho National party Is to have an unusually largo campaign fund this yexr Thern may not be Democrats Intoxi- sspecisliy cat from the gX ahout ttt Campaign BarraL local lug sw 1ft on the announcement. an-nouncement. Is none the less noteworthy. Samuel Newhouse started the ball rolling roll-ing with a handsome contribution to the Young Men's Democratic c!ub. and the movement was given especial Impetus when National Committeeman Peary tale-graphed tale-graphed from St. Lotus that he bad re- iv. ,1 assurancea of "Just and liberal reward for the faithful. Now, every Democrat from Chairman Frank J. Cannon to Councilman Ferns-trOBO Ferns-trOBO has Joined in a movement that will SMUTS for them a snug place in the 'faithful' list Thev are tearing up tho turf In an effort to make a local showing show-ing and It Is to their credit to say that they have not been unsuccessful, thus far. The reoort that the wealthy ! 1 mm. v ho has a place on the National ticket, had contributed to the campaign fund a million dollars ha pat plt.k In the.h.k of many a memher of 'he army of the ' faithful " And the glnper It has Iniected ir. to a decrepit old parly of fraud and false pretenso Is Interesting to observe. The leaders are stepping around as though thev really had hopes for success. suc-cess. They admit privately that there 3 no chance for the Democracy in Utah, but i-verv mother's son of them wants to .. 1 uAn.ln l...ll.. 11..

Most every Democrat says he believes Parker will be the next iTcsidcnt. but not through the votes of I'tah. Ask one of these to specify to show how- Parker can win he will whisper ihat "the trusts arc with us this year and we will have the stuff to arry enough 0l the doubtful Statea to win." The whole secret of the enthusiasm Is the dairy of a great campaign fund. The thought of winning on the merits of the candidates or the platform never occurs oc-curs to elth.-r of th- se The enthusiasm Is all thought out on tbe possibilities of the slush fund. From the exuberance of Sam New house's starter, down through Henry Pcerv's pledge to Baron Davis's barrel, the tcmocracv of Utah has become be-come Intoxicated with hope. But the Mane nun of the State feel that on the morning following the election, these hopeful spirits will awako to find that it was all a pipe dream. M n who have bad to do with Important plans of a campaign, do not give value Id the reports of a large fund being In sight or In hand thus earl They know that If it were true that the Democracy w . c to have a great Political Manngersf'in.i the leaders Do "Not Talk of would nol be so tool- Plenteous Funds. fact to leak out. If it did leak out, they know th it It would not be long until life would be made a burden to every member mem-ber of the disbursing commlttoe. When the existence of a great cam-palKn cam-palKn fund Is known every' grafter In every voting district in the country plans a raid, lie will hatch up every conceivable con-ceivable scheme that may enable him to extract a share of the fund. Nothing hi this world will make a man, who Is bent on capturing political funds, so resource, ful or so cunning as the knowledgo that ouch a fund Is In existence. What campaign managers are moro likely to do than to permit It to be known that' the nr. ' Mush" Is to exaggerate their cramped condition. They would rather be attacked by the furies than the grafter. They do not care a fig to lie alxiut a shortage. That would be only one of the incidents of the eampain manager's life. But to say that there Is or will be an abundance of funds Is the most uproariously ridiculous thing a really shrewd politician can Imagine Davis may contribute a fortune to the Democratic committee. That Is not at ill unlikely. But he has not done so already tor the gooi reason that the committee has not organized.
