Show ONE OF SALT LAKE'S best-known Democrats, a gentleman who hns been considered as one of tho six who will likely go to tho Democratic Demo-cratic National convention, Is of the opinion that Representative Hearst will control the St. Louis convention. He says that there Is not the ghont of a show for the Parkerltos to change the time-honored time-honored two-thirds rule, as has been suggested, sug-gested, and that Hearst Is absolutely certain cer-tain of hnvlng more than one-third of the delegates. "I am not a dologatc or I would tell you whut I think of the Parkcr-Hearat fight for control. I do not know whether or not I may bo a delegate. I think that there Is not any material difference between be-tween the two leading candidates so far as vote-getting Is concerned. Each candidate can-didate has stronc and weak points. The parly will not unite on either, but thero will bo enough disgruntled Republicans to offset any loss to either. Democrats feel that they will win this year, or thoy would not be making such a fuss over their respective candidates. It Is my opinion opin-ion that tho apparent apathy of the Iloarst forces during tho past two weeks, hero as elsewhere, Is a part of the young editor's management. He was attacked eo fiercely for a time that It was thi- act of a good general to rotlro for a while. He will certainly bo tho most powerful man In the convention, oven if he does not have enough votes to secure the nomination nom-ination for himself." it According to the views of tho Demo crat quoted, tho Hearstitcs are "sawing wood" In Utah Just now And the Parker Par-ker men are doing llttlo elso, Tho latter may wake up the morning aftor the State convention very nnuch like a distinguished Democrat of tho old school did a good many years ago. He had boen charged with taking caro of a certain district for a favorite, and tho opposition won out. When confronted by thoijo who had been depending on him for tho dollvery of tho district and asked for an explanation, tho old fellow very castly said: "Why, confound them, thoy bought us!" m . a Indiana Republicans nominated their most effective campaigner for Governor yesterday, former Congressman J. Frank Hanly. No man In tho State Is more popular with members of all parties than Is Hanly. He has a wonderful fuculty as a votc-getter, and tho conversion of many Democrats of prominence Is to his credit. He Is In no sense a politician. If ho were, ho would now bo In tho United States Scnato instead of Albert J. Bev-orldge. Bev-orldge. They wero opposing candidates for tho Senate. Hanly entered the race with thirty-four votes to Bevcrldgo's twolvc. Hanly got as high ns thirty-six, or within two of tho caucus majority. Bevcrldgo received the support of the i other candidates, save ono, on tho next 1 to the final ballot. Then thero was a j stampede, and tho present nomlneo for 1 Governor lost. Tho nomination of Hanly, It 13 believed, will make Indiana surely Republican In tho fall content. And this adds much to tho general Interest In hie nomination. Tho candidacy of Senator Bevcrldgo for re-election, too, puts his friends in tho front Of the contest, and since the friends of Senator Fairbanks were for Hanly, the combination of forces Is regarded ns especially espe-cially fortunate for tho Hoosler Republicans. Republi-cans. Tho Indiana Democracy has nd such political campaigners as the trio at present pres-ent at tho head of the Republican organization organ-ization In that State. If thero Is anything In "Inside" Information, Infor-mation, here arc tho names of tho Utah Democrats who will lead tho party In the fall campaign: For Govornor William H. King of Salt Lako City. For Secretary of State Ed Snow of Washington county. For Congress Judge O. W. Powers of Salt Lake City. If the politicians will cut this list out, pasto it on their calendar and turn to it after tho Do-nocratlc State convention, they will find It a good guess. There are other candidates, but the powers that direct tho Utah Democracy, in years when It Is felt thut there Is some show for success, have canvassed the situation and It hns been agreed that the party can get together on these three men, and that the candidates can tear up tho turf to the satisfaction of tho most exacting. Judgo King was in Congress, and he Is said to havo no especial desire to go back again now. It Is conceded that ho could have the nomination by the asking, ask-ing, but ho prefers to be the successor to Gov Wells. Ho Is ono of tho best-known best-known Democrats In Utah. And he Is a verv pleasant gentleman. There are at least six other Utah Democrats Dem-ocrats who would like to have a snug berth In tho Executive M Nebcker, Logan; MuJ. ni-'t ci ty. and Fri-d J, KioaAi L . , YUnt ?t D. Dee of Og.len.
