Show j PLlTieHL gssipT DELEGATES from tho Seventh Ju- dlclal District, composed of San Petol Carbon, Emery, Grand and San Juan counties, will meet at tho WIIhoii hotel at S o'clock this evening, to nomlnato a Democratic candidate for District Judgo and District Attorney. It is also proposed to havo a convention conven-tion of the delegates for the Sixth district dis-trict to name a Judicial ticket, but the time and place was not announced last night. . John H, Ivldd of Salt Lake City, Is hustling for election as delegate, to the Democratic National convention. Former Congressman Roberts',; card in Tuesday's Herald hi which he discussed somo llvo politics, was llko throwing a bomb Into the ramp of a prominent wing of tho Democratic party and there was much discussion of lta probablo Influence, on Thursday's convention yesterday. Some say It Is a forecast of a part of the proceedings that It means an altompt will bo made to Instruct Iho National delegates dele-gates to oppose tho nnU-jKilygainy resolutions reso-lutions Senator Dubois of Jdnho proposes Introducing. This Is not conceded by many prominent local leaders, howovcr. It beltiK Insisted by them that no rcfcrcnco to the action of Dubois will be mudo. H Notwithstanding tho assertions of several sev-eral Democratic leaders that the- Church Question will not bo Introduced In tho Stato convention tomorrow, thera Is a considerable number who say It cannot be suppressed. Snnator Dubois's strong stand against polygamy In tho Idaho convontlon, and tho fact that he I3 a delegato to St. Louis. Is bitterly resented here, and sov-eral sov-eral friends to tho Church aro quoted as saying tho Utah delegation must bo Instructed In-structed to opposo Dubois at every turn. It Ik even claimed that tho delegates may be Instructed for Parker because tho Idaho delegates aro for Hearst and Hearst Is a pronounced enemy of tho Church. Ono loader said Dubois Is not pernonal-ly pernonal-ly for Hearst, but knowing the feeling of tho nowspnpermen he hoped to win tho support of the Hearst delegates for his antl-polygam resolution. v n Simon Bamberger Is one of tho strong probabilities for delegate to the Democratic Demo-cratic National convention. There arc well-informed politicians who say ox-Sonator ox-Sonator Rawlins and Mr. Bamberger will bo Salt Lake's two delegates and that, of the other four, two will como from tho northern part of tho Stato and two from tho southern portion. It Is conceded bv all factions that Chairman Cannon. Senator Sen-ator Whlttemore and Sam King will bo delegates, but beyond this there Is doubt lest It bo in the caso of former Senator Rawlins who. though opposed, will more than likely be elected. nam Salt Lake's delegates will meet at Judge Stewart's courtroom In the Joint building at 8 o'clock this evening, to caucuo on several matters to be brouglil up In tho convention JoHhua Greenwood, of Millard county, a candidate for the Sixth district Judgeship on the Democratic tlckol. Is one of tho earliest of tho convention arrivals. He Is fi popular Democratic and a good politician poli-tician and will be nominated, It Is claimed. Among the Utahns nuntloncd for temporary tem-porary chairman of the Stato convention aro Frank 1C. Nebecker of Logan, and T. D. Johnson of Ogden. Nebecker Is believed to be the pick of tho D. II. Peery following, and Johnson by friends to Judge Powers. U does not appear that aides are being taken, particularly on this miiller. but friends to tho respective candidates have made such an alignment." Tho State com-niitteo com-niitteo will decide who shall be tho temporary tem-porary officers today, and will recommend recom-mend the permanent officers. For permanent chairman. Mayor 11-Hain 11-Hain Roylnnco of Provo, and Frank J. Cannon of Ogden, are mentioned. Some favor Mr. Cannon, In order to provoko him to deliver a stirring speech. Tlioro Is no perceptlablo change in the contest between Judgo Powers and D. II. Peery for Democratic National committeeman commit-teeman for Utah. All day Tuesday the frleuda of each wero working like trognns and gained and lost some support. The best of Judges refuse to hazard an opinion of tin outcome. Friends to each of these candidates boats of their favorite's fav-orite's success and somo express doubts. The contest does not appear to be bitter, but it Is sharp; and there aro thoHC who say that even the stronKOSt man may not win that tho early work of the convontlon convon-tlon may Impose obligations that will cause many desertions of present friends and accessions of present opponents. It is a party fight between Democrats of blood and skill and It has clearly distanced dis-tanced all other matters of interest Some arc looking for a couple or three electrifying speeches Thursday. Judgo King, B. H. Roberts. Judge Powers. Chairman Cannon and Joseph L. Rawlins Raw-lins may each be heard, and all they say may not bo along Jeffensonlan lines if rumors account for anything. a Complimentary mention has been made of Mrs. J. M. Cohen as a probablo Democratic Dem-ocratic candldato for delegate lo the National Na-tional convention. On account of 111 health Mrs. Cohen has requested her friends to not consider her name. |
