Show POLITICAL GOSSIPTI SURVEYOR OF THE PORT J. J. GREEN'EWALD has presented the Young Men's Republican club a handsome flag. Capt. Palmer gave to the library the first book and Senator Kearns has contributed a fine lithograph of President Roosevelt, with tho President's autograph. This will adorn the walls of tho new headquarters headquar-ters In the Atlas block. General regret was expressed that Senator Smoot and Hon. W. S. McCor-nlck McCor-nlck could not nttend tho "house-warming" "house-warming" at the Republican club headquarters head-quarters last night . Both were unablo to be present. Matters political appear to be warming warm-ing up down in Utah county. A Republican Re-publican from Provo was In Salt Lake City yesterday and had several things to say about the local situation. "It Is reported on reliable authority," said he, "that the boom given by our odltor and postmaster for Glazier for State Treasurer is not catching on as the promoter hoped it would. The constant claims mado that ho wlllhavc Utah county's solid delegation Is strongly denied by persons from the south. "It is stated that It will be impossible for him to receive tho united delegation for Utah county, as thero io ntrong opposition op-position to the plans of hlo friends. Some say that If tho matter Is forced there will be something doing down at home disastrous to those who are attempting at-tempting to force that nomination. "Opposition to Glazier Is largely due to tho belief that his candidacy Is being be-ing pushed po early In order to kill off somebody else. If some things arc .attempted, .at-tempted, mark me, the people will have some fun." R. Knudaen, the Big Cottonwood miller and one of the best known Republicans Re-publicans of Salt Lako county, visited tho city Saturday. He is a very enthusiastic en-thusiastic Irrigation booster and will become a candidate for the nomination for County Commissioner, it is said. mum The Xophi Record says: "Judge Marloneaux has announced to his friends that he will not be a candidate candi-date for re-election. There are many who will not be pleused to learn of thin decision, for the Judge has certainly mado an enviable record during his Incumbency In-cumbency of the office. Some of the most difficult cases In tljo hUtory of litigation in Utah have boon up beforo him, yet he has broken the record by sustaining fewer reverses than any other similar court under the State or Territorial government. This Indicates, and his entire record hna Indicated, a jtolse and balance of mind that will make itself felt In any sphere of action. Notwithstanding that he seems to bo peculiarly fitted for the bench ho has decided, after careful coneildcratlon. that ho can do better in tho practice of his profession. Tho only criticism that might Justly bo offered is his decided aversion to living liv-ing In tho district. We hear a few sug-gt-stlons to the effect that It would be more convenient If the Judge would reside re-side In the district. With Judge Marloneaux out of the race the logical candidate on the Democratic Demo-cratic ticket is District Attorney Greenwood. Green-wood. He Is well qualified for tho position po-sition and will doubtless receive the nomination." Ex-United Statefi Senator Joseph L. Rawlins of Salt Lake, Utah, waa at Boise, Ida., Friday to argue a caso beforo be-foro the Supremo court. Tho Boise Capital News says: "Senator Rawlins has many friends in Boise who called on him at tho Idanha, whero he was stopping. A Capital News reporter was greeted very cordially cord-ially by the Senator, but when tho Mormon question or politics were touched upon he became very reticent. He said, however, that the- peoplo of Utah wero considerably divided in their opinion as to what would be tho final outcome of tho Smoot caso. "In discussing the political situation lie said the Republicans, of course, were in favor of RooevelL In Democratic circles, he oafd, there was some sentiment senti-ment for Hearst, but that he did not Relieve the friends of the New York Congressman could carry the convention. conven-tion. " 'Wo hold our convention on Juno 0,' said the Senator, 'and in mv Judgment Judg-ment an unlnstructcd delegation will be selected.

"The Senator returned home In tho afternoon." |
