Show Simply Because his political enemies are for parker able john wants to be secretary of tate democrats longing i for a jingle or so f fy 1 I I 1 V gait lake city utah may 7 the humor that was injected into the political situation this week was by the ubiquitous william roylance 0 provo the suave ex speaker 0 the utah house of representative was in the city ostensibly to find out how the salt lake democrats whom he slyly terms the leaders look upon his candidacy or the gubernatorial nomination but in reality he was in the city to get lines on some 0 the combinations bi that are being made among the powers and that Is not meant as a pun that be here in zion he Is from missouri for the nonce and the leaders will have aft show him why that political idol king andels colonel sam should sidetrack side track the mayor 0 provo when the batters lat ambition I 1 demanding recognition by beang given the gubernatorial nomination he received iota of information of that kind be could have imagined it he had stayed at home he learned that he had nothing to expect in favors atrom judges powers henderdon Hend ereon and a few of the other prominent men of the party who belle their reputations as good attorneys by admitting that they are democrats he found out for a certainty the position of himself and that other faithful remnant of the old guard of mccuneo Mc Cunee who rendered it impossible to elect a united states senator of the democratic persuasion in they regarded wealth and position as more than brains powers has not forgotten that neither has king nor Raw llna nor henderson and aquella has become a receptive candidate for governor lest he forget roylance returned tp provo a con firmed hearst man not because he really is in favor of hearst but because the circumstances seem to demand it of him in the first place he found that king and powers and all the rest of the alignment against him are for that cordial and silent object of bryane wrath judge alton brooks of new york of course the judges will stand together and by the way has it ever occurred to you that the way up democracy in this state is beginning to present the appearance of an assemblage at a tennessee handicap they are all judges the other reason it Is understood tor Roy lances advocacy ot hearst Is that frankle cannon of ogden has pledged himself and his paper to the provo mayors support and roylance knows that for once tho ogden man must be sincere for it Is a cinch that cannon does not really want a democratic gubernatorial nomination to go to an ogden man and then in spite of the disavowals of the ogden man it Is still believed by the salt lake democrats that cannon Is tho leader of the heairet forces 1 utah that be and dubols the idaho mormon eater have entered into an alliance with hearst so golden that the silence of parker in comparison appears as dull and brassy as the collars worn by the hearst men the democrats here think that possibly out of the million and a half that Is said to have been spent by hearst in his chase after the presidential nomination at least a few thousands hare been swallowed up in the support of the personal democratic organ at ogden but still a few of franbes Fran Mes friends down here would like to hear a jingle or two they do not believe that all the sweet music from clinking gold coins should be wasted on tho cool breezes and in the solitude of the canyon at ogden A new candidate has loomed on the democratic horizon it Is able john evans of lehl and he wants the nomination for secretary of acate able john has served long and faithfully inthe legislature of this state and be yas perfectly willing to double the term of service but the people ot utah county said him nay he was one of the old guard that went down in the political world after the waterloo of A W mccune he threw himself metaphorically into the breach in that famous fight and when the end camo and jt was known that mccune could not be elected he led the change to george Q cannon and then went into oblivion when his term closed for this action on the he does not bear the love of king and the other judges tout he stands high in his own estimation and there Is that fellowship between himself and roylance that comes to all who have been divided from duty by the glitter of wealth it Is a question though as to whether he will ally himself with the combination of which frank cannon Is at the head with all his political faults and errors able john is a clean man and an honorable one secretary hammond Is evidently one of the most obliging politicians in the state ho once said that it governor wells decided to become a landl date again that he would not bo in the race for the gubernatorial nomination he also assured the aspirants for the position of secretary of state that be does not desire that nomination when approached by ills friends as to his position he answers non with a faraway look in his eyes and the shadow of a smile on his lips that seems to be the ghostly echo of a hollow inward chuckle Ws suavity Is the reason for much nn easiness on the part of an callaster Cal llster it seems that it will be a kard matter for the democrats of ogden to refuse the gubernatorial nomination the boom tor F J klesel grows apace and he seems to be the choice of most of I 1 the cow counties south of salt lake and then roylance la said to be tho authority for the statement that judge ace 0 ogden la the choice 0 etab knocked out of it and so it goes |
