if they are not permitted per-mitted to do sc The legal battle in Ogden will be one highly interesting for the women there will be a heavy array of counsel among whom will be Judge Sutherland Judge Henderson IudS Judd Ogden Hiles and H H Henderson Had Mr Rawlins been Shore when the case came up he would probably have been one of the attorneys attor-neys on that side While there was plenty of counsel for the womens side of the question it was somewhat difficult to find many Jien who wanted to take the other Idu however it has been agreed af tr consultation that C S Varlan and Parley L

1S33 I A > a T Caire Esq Chairman Democratic Demo-cratic Committee Dear Sir Mrs Sarah E Anderson applied ap-plied to me today to be registered and 1 I refused to register her on the ground that she was a female and not emitted to vote Today I was served with an alternative al-ternative writ of mandate returnable on Friday next at 10 oclock Aug 9 l 1S95 Do I you desire to defend me in my action If HO you can do the same at your own xpense Please let me hear from you at Olio liv r lllrn r nil un C D TYREJE Deputy Registrar SALT LAKE Aug 7 lJa C D Tyrec Deputy Registrar Ogden I Utah Dear Sir Your letter of the 6th inst has been received and duly con ideied In regard to your suggestion that If 1 desire r de-sire to defend you in any action which may be brought against you in consequence conse-quence of your relusal to register Mrs Sarah E Anderson I can have the privilege priv-ilege of doing so at my own expense 1 k beg leave to say that I have no such dc fire and respectfully decline the privi lege Believing as I do that women have the right to vote at the ensuing election my sympathies are all with Mrs Anderson Ander-son and consequently against the POSt I tion you have assumed Very respectful F aP ly JOHN T CAINE Chairman Harry DuI clI Methods Despite his statements that lie did not intend to enter the campaign for the mayoralty Harry Duke seems to 3be making quite a stagger in that direction di-rection It is said on good authority 4 fif that his best scheme is to approach those who are holding offices under the city government and assure them that he has no designs on their peace I of mind but intends to keep them in oTice if they will aid him in securing the office The Oqueer club is depended depend-ed upon to give him strength The Argus is said to be his organ and the organ of the club and the whole makeup make-up of the active men in it are a guarantee guar-antee that they mean to stand by Duke Triliuiie vi Ouuccr Club And by the way it now looks as though open warfare would soon breakout break-out between the club and the Tribune l That paper has already started out in this field just as it did in the Crane light When it first went after Cranes scalp it had some little editorial notes hinting that candidacy and chairmanship chairman-ship were not proper When that had no effect the hints became stronger Then hints were dropped and open I statements resorted to The Tribune lias evidently received some light on the designs of the club It has evidently I dently heard some of the wires that are buzzing and discovered the tracks rI r I of the wily politicians who are laying them It should know by this time that the machine of the club is being built up for no other purpose than town < < > to-wn the Tribune in the city and county In fact open expression of this purpose has recently been made The lirst move of the Tribune has been to convey a delicate hint in an editorial note reading as follows I Opening Gnu j Republican clubs are good things ti the regular party committees which comprise the party organization proper 1 prop-er arc also good things but each of A these good things is a separate good thing and it would be well to keep thpm entirely separate It this isnt done there is certain to be confusion There is no doubt that this is just a warning note intended to scare those who are in the club into tractability When it is found that the club refuses to be bulldozed there is likely to be a harder attack This is expected by the club and will be reciprocated by its organ Yet in the face of these slumbering slum-bering volcanoes of dissension the Republican papers in Utah have the 1 resumption to say their party is united I i j C S j II I DcmocrulK of Granger I The Democratic society of Granger 3ield a good meeting Wednesday evening even-ing about fifty men and women being I present President Porter newly elected was in the chair Judge Cherry I j of this city delivered a fortyminute t i address He gave the reasons why I j the people of Utah should be Democratic j Demo-cratic tracing the origin of the two parties and the prominent features of I II their existence He then went into i practical politics and showed the difference I dif-ference in this country after thirty years of Republican rule with wealth centered in the hands of the few acj I I the people growing poorer and poorer every year He said that before the Republican party came into power tramps were hardly known in the United States Now they number thousands The tramp point was particularly emphasized While Judge Cherry was still dwelling on it a prominent woman came In and explained the absence of 3ier husband by saying a tramp had Just come to the house as she left and her husband had stayed at home to give him something to eat and to take care of the premises After this incident Inci-dent the judge still further impressed his audience by pointing out the Democratic Dem-ocratic record on silver particularly the Missouri convention and claiming t i Is only through the Democratic arty that silver will be restored 4 BJ Fcrs inon on Suftrrjpre r H len B Ferguson delivered ant an-t < mdqresa devoted principally to condl t I J = < > I i lions under suffrage She said that the power to vote would be a boon to the I women of the territory and she had no doubt that the courts would decide j they could vote thia fall She said there would be nothing degrading for I them in politics but that they would I i be an elevating force She urged the women to take interest in political affairs I af-fairs and prepare themselves for being an important of part the government An executive committee of four men I and three women was appointed The speakers from Salt Lake evoked much interest and enthusiasm and were I thanked I The Tribune Desires The esteemed Buffalo Bill Glasmann I knocks all claims of Republican harmony har-mony in the head by some editorial I comments last evening under the head As the Tribune Would Have j I It in which he pays his respects to the Tribune crowd as follows Since the division in Utah on national f party lines there have been two elements in the Republican party one strong for personal preferment and advantage the I other assiduously and devotedly laboring for the welfare of the people of the ter i itory as an entirely and striving througlj j the regular Republican organization a the host and only means of accomplishing I Ihet unselfish end in view The assurance j of success which awaits Republican prin j I ciples in the coming campaign makes those pursuing personal uroJll unusually energetic and unscrupulous Back of I them is a newspaper whteh is Republican only so far as that party serves the broad I girths and contracted ntellerts of those i controlling it At all other times i is whatever occasion may seem to demand i i Republican Populist Silver or even Democratic The political control of this I territory means much to tit Iribune and its following C O Goodwin is an aspir It i ant for the United States Senate A L 1 Thomas desires to be the firsc governor of the new statl Mr P H Lannan desires i de-sires to be the Warwick of Utah not the I I king but the kingmaker Now there is 1 in the present political complexion of I Utah more than appears on the surface Let us suppose as the Tribune would put I it Let us suppose A L Thomas governor 1 of tho new state of Utah and Mr P H j Lannan the kingmaker of Utah W hat I would be the result j The Public Lands Let us see Among other things to be controlled under the new state would f be the disposal of the lands allotted by I the general government Mr Lannan I would not only remain chief of the Tribune Tri-bune but would still be the kingmaker I Following the usual custom of new states undoubtedly a commission will b6 appointed to take charge of the disposal dis-posal of the public lands As kingmaker kingmak-er Mr Lannan would have appointed t that commsson only such men as would I do the bidding of the kingmaker As the manager and one of the owners of the Tribune Mr Lannan would see that a liberal allowance would be wade for advertising lberal alowance vertising and such advertising would be I done through the columns of the Tribune as according to the claims of that paper I it is the only paper having a general circulation cir-culation and the payment for such advertising ad-vertising would be limited only by the financial needs of the Tribune under the I existing trying times Where the smaller I Republican papers which in and out of season ale loyal to the party and whose I unselfish and unquestioned devotion its success will be due would come in for pecuniary concern would be a matter of I such insignificant i i importance as to de 01 uu iLLtULUU So the matter stands The people will be despoiled in the sale of their lands that the Tribune may profit and those papers which make success possible will be awarded the usual husks I the outside out-side papers and the voters generally are prepared for this sort of thing they must support the Tribune which declares it is not a Republican organ and they must be prepared to vote for A L Thomas who is the Tribune nominecfor governor of the new state or Utah Tlint Square Deal In an editorial note Buffalo William is scarcely less emphatic saying The Tribune still calls for a square deal I is possible that the people do not know what the Tribune means by a square deal It means C C Goodwin for the United States Senate A 1 Thomas for governor gover-nor and Patrick Henry Lannan land commissioner com-missioner and the power behind the throne In short it means for everybody to get out of the roal The Tribune wants I to run thencw state of Utah You cant make it Piibny your boodle I I I record is too rank You cant ry stop i thief on Utah the people know you too I well We should like to place one of the j supreme judges on the witness stand and I I have him tell what ne knows of the Trlb i I tine boodlo record He could tell what I many others already know A square deal and from the Tribune That paper knows about as much about a square deal j as a hog does about a holiday A Silent MIsumlerstuiMlInf A slight misunderstanding has arisen in this city over the question of registering regis-tering women Deputy Registrar Thomas F Crowley of the Second precinct pre-cinct who began registering women did so contrary to what was believed Ito I ito i-to be the general understanding i among the deputy registrars in this I county who had agreed to wait until the case was decided In Ogden before I < any action was taken in the matter I I of registering women In consequence of the action of Mr Crowley he was I i yesterday asked to resign by County Registrar Wilson He explained however i how-ever that he was acting under his understanding of the law and did not believe the county registrar had power j to secure his resignation Nothing was done in the case yesterday but it is I believed that today everything will be j amicably arranged j I IVorkiiiHiotiiiN Political Club The executive committee of the I Workingmens Political club organized on Wednesday evening
