lard County Anxious for the Lib orator to Come Where is Joseph F Smith at That is a question which is considerably consid-erably agitating the small fry politicians cians among the Republicans just now The luxuriant claims of the supporters sup-porters of Colonel Trumbo that he was the favorite candidate of those Republican Re-publican members of the first presidency presi-dency and apostles who are taking an active part in politics has drawn tc the gentleman from California a great I deal of strength that oiharvi midI mid-I have gone to the other combinations Now on top of this support comes the startling statement wild and wooly that President Joseph F Smith fs far as he takes any part in ioliics has joined forces with the Tribune crowd and will do all he can for the mess of the combination which would combinaton place C C Goodwin and Frank J Cannon in the Senate Of course it is the policy of the TrumboCrane facton 10 keep 1 this silent i i has hapjened and Charlie Crane says vtith a great deal of fervor that his political relations with Joseph F Smith wercmever more pleasant However there arthose tr the inside who insist that Crane is well aware of this important defection and that he has alreadj had a warm conversation con-versation with the offending party and in addition has written him a very wrten hot letter Frank Not Half so Strong I the story proves true by later developments de-velopments this will be one of the most important additions to theIr strength that the Tribune crowd has yet had Frank Cannon Little Napo > eon Webster Demosthenes etc that he is was not half so strong Frank only brought himself and his abr mal ambition He could not deliver even the Ogden Republicans They are more secure than ever in the octopus grip of the Crane machine But defections de-fections in Salt Lake city are what the Crane people cannot afford just now They are comparatively sure of retaining the country So long as the Tribune gang sticks to Thomas for the governorship it cannot hope to phase the combination But it is over the fifteen votes in Salt Lake county that the fight is to be made and the TrumboCrane element seems ready to spend unlimited money to bring this neck of the woods to their way of thinking Once let the Tribune gain several leaders like Joseph F Smith and i will be comparatively sure of this county Then will come a merry battle Senator Carter and Silver The interwiew of Senator Thomas H Carter of Montana published in the Washington Post and reprint yesterdays yes-terdays Herald has caused a great deal of comment in silver circles I has been known ever since Carter was I elected to the Senate that he was only halfhearted in his advocacy of silver In fact Senator Carey once said to Senator Clark in Washington I that he oould shake hands with Carter Car-ter on silver and everybody knows I that Carey has done more than anybody I any-body else in the west to hurt the I cause Still Carter was elected i though as a measure of precaution he was taken into a room before the bal wa I lot was held and was met by several I determined men ot both parties who i demanded from him some pledge as to I his actions on silver At that time he promised them in solemn tones to usa his best endeavors for silver Fut since then he has > appeared shaky He has six years to serve and has strong ambitions Bels thoroughly sn

He said that If the president ere I enjoined from using his veto rower that would be satisfactory to the Re jubiicans of the west Will it There were many expresisons of dissent imong prominent Republicans yes er day the most emphatic of which came from Richard Mackintosh hI will not support such a policy he aid The Republicans of Utih will I not support it Neither will Carters constituents He had better atch I consttuentS out how he takes such a stand I have been told by Montana men that i when it came to electing him he was i taken in a room and told that if he was not for free silver

le didnt he could not cme hack to I Montana without getting killed This looks like another scheme of that Me KinleyReed HarrisonCullom Elklns Depew combination which waits to throw a sop to the western Republicans cans and pull them into the net I can tell you that the western Republicans Repub-licans wont stand anything of the kind I the Democrats put up a free silver man and the Republicans try to dodge the question the l > ernocits will get every Republican free silver vote in the western country I has come to the point now where Reoublicansm must be subordinated to tne sliver question No dodging will doS Get the Easiest Way In connection with this Interview a queer incident comes in well Two men were standing in front of the Knutsford hotel yesterday looking at that substantial and palatial structure struc-ture and the plain board revival tabernacle just north of It If in order to acconipHsh tome certain cer-tain purpose you should have U > move one or pure other of those Buildings ani you could take your choice which would you move eked ore The other locked at him in surprise Why the tabernacle of course he answered I thought youd say that Now you pretend to be a staunch silver man ready to do anything to remonetize the white metal And yet you stay with the Republican party To move the Democratic party into line for free silver would be a easy as moving that frams building but to get the Republicans Repub-licans m line would be like carrying If want silver off the Knutsford I you 5 ver or youd better join the Democratic follower cf party and Tiuit being a o straddle bugs More Candidates Appearing New elements are appearing in the contest for the federal district judgeship judge-ship I appears that the voting lawyers law-yers of the city have started in on a campaign of their own and intend to carry their plan through if hard work will do it Several young hustlers O both parties are already at work to create sentiment in favor of W C Hail as a possibility Mr Hal has already been seen by represantatives of this movement and has said that he would accept the judgeship if it were offered to him He will not make a canvass for himself however Mr Hall will have heavy support from the bar besides that which he can bring to bear from the outside He already has the prestige vi having been secretary of Utah under Clove lands first administration trst It is also being quietly whispered around that Mayor Baskin will be a factor in the race He has had enough fator and of the annoances of pratiie e would like to end his public life in some tranquil pace like that offered by the federal judgeship where a man is far removed from the petty cares of political strife He his made an enviable record for honesty < uring his term as mayor and will rcceivi some strong backing Johnny Zanes Ambition The Zane family evidently intend to be right in the fight this year It has been one of their characteristic I possess an abnormal ambition for place holding This is pretty early in the season but already two are to the front and they are the principal ones Curiously enough the combinatioi keeps up the old conditions abou which lawyers have been raising objections ob-jections so long Judge Zane is i a candidate can-didate for the supreme bench Johnn I is out for the attorneygeneralship of the new state Should they both succeed suc-ceed son will again practice before father But there is little danger of that According to the present list of Republican supreme court candidate the Democratic judicial ticket wi carry with a whoop even if all the rest are defeated 9 He I Too Maligritant JInitnnt much dangei But then there is not that Johnny will even get nominated The judge may succeed and probably I will But Johnny is not the most popu j I lar candidate in his own party Republicans Re-publicans like to go and hear him say I bitter things The American people somehow enjoy those treats But whil < they applaud the malignity and general gen-eral irresponsibility of the speaker they lose their respect for him He ii popular with them on every lay except ex-cept election aay or nomination day Then their contempt for such mahgr nity gets a chance and the man is I shown where he stands As much desired I de-sired as he is when speakers are demanded de-manded Johnny Zane is not an important I im-portant factor before the voters Ther < i are already more popular RepublIcans i in the field for the place and he wil probably be shelved I The Contest Becoming Warm I By the way the contest for the I attorneygeneralship threatens to become I be-come very warm The salary is admittedly ad-mittedly not commensurate with the work to be performed or thi abllitj needed but as a man is not to betaken be-taken from his practice but rather aided in it there are a number of good lawyers who feel that they can afford to run So far Dennis Eichnor and Barlow Ferguson are the most active candidates Both are rustlers and little inclined to sit idly by Availing for ofllcej to come to them They want the office and are going after it for good and all Frank Pierce is also being pressed tc the front He is perhaps the abl st lawyer law-yer who is mentioned so far but he is not a success as a patriot He made an I enviable record in the constitutional convent n as one of the frequent absentees ab-sentees He is not entitled to credt I even for the educational article thrust J chairman of the committee Most oi I the work was shifted onto other I shoulders particularly those of Prof Kerr I Those who do not think that Colonel lIre is setting the pace with the small I fry Republicans should keep their eye f on Jake Moritz Jake has an idea that he can put on just as much style as I the interloper from California and so he has come out with acolored driver who rivals Ikes importation just about as the moon rivals the sun But Jake may be expected to blossom out more in the near future futureI S Charley Cranes Sheep Industry In a description of the country between be-tween Kanosh and Fillmore the Millard Mil-lard County Blade gives some interesting Interest-ing facts about the Tribunes candidate candi-date for secretary of state and the Republican Re-publican machines candidate for governor gov-ernor of Utah I is a description of Clear creek canyon with its side cliffs scratched and marked with names and legends galore The article reads Just before entering the Narrows which presents a rare scene of gran duer the attention is attracted by a glaring advertising sign that reads as follows I I C Cranes Merino Bucks j About midway in the Narrows there is another ad similar only more elaborate elab-orate I Merino Bucks Sheepdogs Berkshire I Berk-shire Pigs and Game Cocks I at Charles Cranes Kanosh I I The Narrows are nearly a fourth of a mile in length the road following a fine grade built some thirteen years ago by the Denver Rio Grande Rail way company I i not believed however how-ever the Narrows will ever echo to the scream of the iron monster as the Denver people will go via Marysvale All along the walls of the Narrows are names of tourists and travelers who have sought to perpetuate their names not by historic deeds not by sublime patriotism nor even by acts of philanthropy anthropy but by means of wellworn axle grease on the face of innocent and unconscious nature and it is well for those profaners of one of her temples that nature was unconscious of the desecration or some of those bleeting S S cliffs would have dislodged their clinging cling-ing masses and burled the autographic vandals Just below the Narrows the present gubernatorial aspirant has another an-other live stock ad of which the following fol-lowing is a true and correct copy I S 1 I you want blooded I Rams Pigs Dogs or Cocks Pg L5 U C Crane of Kanoah I A few miles further down and Charley Char-ley advertises the number of his rams at 1000 a mile or so further and the rams have dwindled to 500 or rather I Charley began at the lower end of the canyon and like his political statements state-ments forgot the number first recorded I re-corded and doubled from 500 to 1000 I within a mile or two Or mayhap to be more charitable he learned that 500 him more rams had been bornd to while traveling from the lower to the upper sign Anyhow some uncon scienceless wag has been at work on the lower sign which originally tread I as follows I 500 French Rams I I at C Cranes Kanosh The mutilator of the future governors I gover-nors signs erased the initial C interpolated I

cocks when he was advertising his products on the too passive face of Dame Nature dream that he would ever aspire to be the first executive of Utah Is Showing Uneasiness The Crane crowd by the way is showing a great deal of uneasiness and desire to get to work They have been very anxious for Trumbo to return re-turn as developments within late I week have not been of the most satis fying nature The enemy has been I endeavoring to break down the combination com-bination in Ogden and efforts are now I being directed to Provo Every little while the chief lieutenants have come in and reported to Crane that the most satisfactory conditions are not to be met with in the outside counties The crowd has been holding meetings and anxiously expecting their leader to put in his appearance They think if he wants to be senator he had better pay more attention to his campaign than he does to the San Joaquin valley road important as that may be There is now little doubt that Colonel Colo-nel Trumbo will arrive here this morning morn-ing Parties who have of late become very much interested in his movements I claim to have received information to I that effect I |
