I For congress there are many aspl- I rants and this Is certain to "be the ! principal contest of the convention It is almost the unanimous predlc- 9 lion that it will take more than one, a and perhapes several, ballots to de- C cido the candidates. 9 For governor there will be no op- I position to GoAernor William Spry fl for renominatlon. the federal bunch I having consented not to oppose Spry Jj for renominatlon by acclamation. Judge J. E. Frlck of the supreme court and A C Nelson. Btato superintendent super-intendent of public instruction, will probably be likewise named br acclamation. An interesting contest for secretary secre-tary of state is certain to be precipitated. precipi-tated. Secretary C. S. Tingey, the Incumbent, appears to be the strongest strong-est candidate for the position, but he has active opposition that may proe fatal to his candidacy Tho fact that he is a third term candidate is being used as an effective argument against him State Treasurer David Matt-son Matt-son has a strong following for this office and appears to bo a dangerous contender for the place J A. Edwards Ed-wards has many friends who are working hard for his nomination for tbis office and many of his supporters support-ers regard him as n winner. It is not unlikely that Cache county will ask that this nomination go to B. W Robinson and in the event of ITowel! falling to secure renomination to congress con-gress Robinson would doubtless be a strong candidate. For auditor the contest appears to bo between Lincoln J Kellv and C. R. Jones, with Ivor Aja- of Tooele, a nossibllltv Both Mr Kelly and Mr. Jones are strong candidates and tho supporters of both are working hard for them Though Tooele delegates are urging the nomination of Ajax for auditor, William Archibald, of Summit county formerly a member of the state legislature. Is here working work-ing for Jones and last night predicted predict-ed his nomination. Tho contest for state treasurer is one of the closest of the convention. Samuel G Dve, county clerk of Wo-bcr Wo-bcr county, has the backlncr of a ma-I'oritv ma-I'oritv of the delegates of his county for the position and is considered by some to be the stroncest candidate, Mrs Margaret Zane Witcher of Salt Lake, has much strength throughout tho state. Should she be nominated and elected, she will be the first woman wo-man jn America to hold an electivo state office other than that of superintendent su-perintendent of schools State Auditor Audi-tor Jesse D Jewkes Is another strong candidate for state treasurer He is being supported by Emery county and several other southern Utah counties and has considerable strength in Salt Lake. Delegates from American Fork are booming Representative John H. Wootton for this place. For presidential electors, the onlv person thus far suggested is W. S. McCornick of Salt Lake. If Mr. Mc-Cornicl; Mc-Cornicl; will consent to be a candidate candi-date he will likely be named by acclamation ac-clamation no |
