Show Hjli I PROVO LETTER. ' ; Provo, Utah, Sept. 8. Tho cam- Hl , palgn for tho municipal election will bo lato In starting this year, if the Hi 1 present Inertia in the political Held Hi , is a fair criterion. HJ i 1 The main ofllco is going begging HB on tho Republican side, that of mayor, HJ ' if silcnco regarding it is any criterion. HJ i The Democrats aro compelled to line HJ up with Mayor Roylanco or repudiate HJ ; 1 their own administration, and that HJ ! Is not likely. HJ The old fight of cast and west end HJ ' will cut some figure again, and the HJ Republicans may this time attempt HJ to run a west end candidate for may- HJ or. L. L. Nelson is mentioned, and HJ . ho Is a likely candidate, having HJ served two terms In the council, one HJ time ns president; but ho got into HB , nn unfortunate feud with members HJ of his own ward at tho last school HJ election. Nearly two hundred Ropub- BB llcnns at the north end of tho ward BB are raid to be against him. BB A. L. Booth, at present a member of BB: the council, is said to be holding his BB lightning rod high in tho air, hoping BB that tho mayorallty may come his BB way. Ho would bo a happy compro- HH mlso between the west and cast end HH factions. HH Democrats will not scrap on the BH mayorallty, but thcro Is a nice little BH row browing over the marshalshlp. HH If Mayor Roylanco keeps hands off BH tho opponents of Marshal Henry BH though they are saying hard thing? HH about him, will have a hard timo to BH defoit his rcnomlnation. HH The peace officers of Provo aro gen- HH erally having a hard timo of it these HH days. Sheriff Harmon has demon- BH stratcd very poor executive ability. HH Though he now resides at the jail, the HH county having furnished him with elo- HH gant accommodations, prisoners will HH escape. When ho undertook to censure HH ono of his doputlcs, that Important HH functionary In tho ofllco up and re- BH signed. This Is the second timo Jack HH Buchl has wanted to go, but tho sher- HH iff Is said to bo at a loss to run hip HH ofllco without him, and it will likoly HH result in another truce, with no ben- HH efit to tho service. HH Tho appointment of Rev. S. H. HH 1 Goodwin to tho important commission HH 1 that Is to determine tho course of HH studies at tho Agricultural college and HH tho Stato University was a general HH surprise. It meets with poor favor HH among tho cducataors. Rev. Goodwin BBj ruins a mission school, whoso teach- flHj ers do not fraternize In any way with iJBfl - church or public school teachers. Tho rHBBk r' IKHlr ! preacher's course will bo closely watched. H. S. Pyne, tho erstwhile political correspondent of tho Tribune, is very quiet during his vacation. Ho Is now studying to enter tho George Washington Wash-ington university department of mea-iclno mea-iclno at Washington. A. C. Soronson says ho is also going to the same school, and will not be a candidate for anything this fall. It may leave Recorder Harding easy sailing sail-ing for rcnomlnation. The delay In deciding the location of tho stato experimental farm is conceded con-ceded to havo been detrimental to Provo. Tho committee still believes that It has a bare majority where once It claimed a fair majority. |
