Show w - SNAPSHOTS AT LEGISLATORS. Senator Lawrenco Is ono of tho most activo-mlnded men of tho upper houso, with marked oxecutlvo ability and n strong dcslro to get to tho root of n question without wasting time. Senator Loose can't mako an eloquent elo-quent speech, but ho can puzzle his opponents with pointed questions, i When his mind is mado up, ho receives argument as If ho wore of stone. Senator Willis Johnson, good-looking and popular, never loses his cheery smile, even when ho is soundly beaten. Senator Lovo loves to say nice things nbout his opponents when ho Is making a fight for something ho much desires to go through. But thoy aro not always lovely when you grasp their Inner meaning. Senator Hollingsworth Is not quite so young as ho looks, and those who tako him for a boy In experience will fall Into error which might prove embarrassing. em-barrassing. Senator Gardiner is just ns hard-headed hard-headed and full of common sonso as ho appears to bo. Ho Is slow to reach conclusions, but is nearly always right. & & Senator Bamberger is always ready to throw down tho gauntlet and the flro of hnlf a dozen antagonists never causes him to loso his head. & & Senator Lewis Is always quiot, no mnttor how exciting tho dobato bo- I comes. Ho can mako a speech, but it I Is alwnys pitched In tho conversational conversa-tional key. Ho works with method and i rapidity. Thomas Hull had a good record as 1 speaker last year, with tho exception that ho somotlmcs fnlled to prod dilatory dila-tory members Into doing business. Ho was too lenient nnd pormlttcd tiro- ; somo nnd long-winded speeches that ; woro not to tho point. : Harry S. Joseph, rod-headed and mignnclous looking, will probably "tako a fall" out of somebody beforo i Mio session Is fnr gone. Thoso who 'invo hoard him on the mining ox- 1 "hnngo do not bollcvo that ho will ovor 1 weary In debate I 1 D. It. Roberts likes to got on tho ' Mde of tho minority. Ho Is over ready to flro a broatlsldo at tho weakest part nf a proposed mcasuro and usually loos It effectively. Tho old members of tho houso will j greatly miss William VS. Whito ot Marysvalo. Mr. White was tho ono -oprosontatlvo of last session who could deliver an oloquont, stirring and entertaining oration on any subject that camo up for dobato. ; Who will supply tho classlcnl quotations quo-tations this year is a question not yot answered. Br. A. S. Condon did last session. Somo of tho members novor j knew whether to tako his Latin phrases seriously or othorwiso. .Tames B. Wilson probably hold tho record InBt year for tho numbor ot times ho was declared out of order. But ns this Is his second oxporienco somo now membor ought to gain that distinction. Georgo Austin knows about everything every-thing thero Is to know about sugar beets. Ho knows othor things of course, and is an ablo worker for all legislation legisla-tion that will advanco tho Interests of tho farmer. & ,f Tho local domocracy had a groat tlmo doing honor to tho memory of Andrew Jackson on Monday evening. H, Tho banquet was a groat success not only ns regards tho menu nnd appoint- monts but oratorlcnlly and onthuslas- I tlcnlly. Tho democrats certainly light M best when thoy aro lying Hat on their I ; backs. After such a knock out ns thoy I sustained last fall It would not have i B been a matter of astonishmont if thoy I had been still reeling nnd faint from I tho blow, but thoy woro'nt. They woro ff as lively and pugnacious as ovor and made tho woods ring with oratory and B cries of "bnnzai." Tho old war horses It woro thoro prancing and snorting and m tho younger felows were not a whit bo- H hind in flro, enthusiasm and hope. jM If, I I y Borne of tlie national guard are not I 1 pleased with Governor Cutler's ap- !' 1 polntments. No governor can please l t S everybody In the matter of appoint- , .monts. It looks very much as If tho t, J resignation of Webb and Lund was prompted more by their failure to ob- 'i i tain more advanced places than any- I thing elso. Tho natlonnl guard to all 1 Intents nnd purposes has boon dead v ' for a long while. It is scarcely possi- i ' ' bio that it can becomo any "deader" ! ' undor tho now regime. If it does a j . ',' I funoral will bo a public necessity. , Tho Trlbuno cartoons tho Utah leg- li1 islators as pygmies who bow down I I . and worship Sonator Smoot. The only 1 reason for this insult Is tho fact that , ! i ;' " thoso legislators havo firmly rofusod If i' . to rub their aoscs in tho dust before !' 1 tho Ti-ibuno god, tho calf of tho Sliver J J ' King.
