Telephone 365 Editorial GOVERNOR SPRY IS CANDIDATE Rumors as to who would become candidate for the United States senate front Utah became reality when former governor William Spry, of. the United States land office, announced his candidacy last Tuesday morning. Governor Spry has many friends in Utah, both political and personal; he has twiec served the state as governor, and he was a good governor. Af a matter of fact. Governor Spry was immensely popular with his party previous to becoming commissioner of the United States land office. When governor of Utah and a member of the state land board, Governor Spry was strong for Utah possession and administration of lands which were claimed by the state under the terms of the enabling act, but since becoming United States land commissioner he has seemed to have modified his views on the question. This mollification he set forth in a speech before a congress or convention held in Denver just previous to the action of congress which gave most of the lands in dispute to the states. Not only will the opponents of the commissioner for the office of senator, but the Democrats also, may be expected to use hia Denver speech against him. Governor Spry has evidently considered this' matter and many more before deciding to become a candidate.

The bill hus the endorsement not only of Utah sportsmen but of leading sports men of the Pacific coast. At the time the resolution of endorsement was be fore the Utah legislature it was suggested to Senator Phipps that ten milea of dykes, built between the Fre mont and Antelope islands and thn mainland would have the effect of freshening the entire east side of the lake. thing a modern city should have and those small towns have very little.

Mercereau will start training for her match and expects to take the two falls necessary to win the bout. Virginia has laid away a whole raft of middleweight champs in the east, and as one man who saw her recently in Chicago says: "If Jack Reed thinks that he has a soft snap he is doomed for disappointment and defeat, for Virginia is not the exhibition type of wrestler and goes into the ring to win." Her work is fast, and the rougher 't is the better she likes it, so Jack is working every minute to get in the pink of condition, realizing that (he has a real job ahead of hlfli Miss Mercereau is matched against some of the best middleweights on the coast and is stopping off only long enough to find out what the Utah rhanip is made of.
