Colborn and family have returned to tho city after an onjojablo visit, of several weeks ln tho East. Mrs. Colborn and tho children remained ln St. Louis, while Judgo Colborn wont to Now York, Wash-Judgo Wash-Judgo lngtcn. Philadelphia Colborn Talks and Chicago on prl- .... vato business. On Politics. thQ way bRCk Judge Colborn stopped in SU Louis and spent five days taking In tho fair. Speaking of his trip yesterday yester-day ard of thc political situation In the East, ho said: "I havo been In tho great cities of tho East a number of times during Presidential Presi-dential campaigns, but I never beforo saw such apathy as oxlsta everywhere this yar. Only now and then ono scca a banner to remind him that a cam-palm cam-palm is on, and there seems to bo an utter lack of interest as to tho outcome. In the rotundas of thc hotels, where politics poli-tics is always a fruitful subject for discussion, dis-cussion, thero ls almost an utter lack of of interest In tho subject this year. "Tho general Impression ls that Roosevelt Roose-velt will carry tho East by a big majority, major-ity, and while thp.t ls my personal opinion, opin-ion, the apathy may bo the calm immediately immedi-ately preceding a big storm. A political politi-cal leader In Now York told mo that while ho thinks New York la safe for Roosevelt, lie would not bo surprised if Iho Democratic Governor Is oluctcd. Tammany Is making a big fight to havo a say In tho distribution of the $liK,000,0 for Erie canal Improvements, and their cftort Is not so much to olect Parker' as to carry the Stato for tho Democratic nominee for Governoi. "Wall street Is now showing an Improvement, Im-provement, as though thc matter had been settled In the minds of thc brokers there, whoro betting odds aro high in favor of Roosevelt. Just before I loft a friend of mine, who Is a broker in Wall rireet. disposed of $2,000,009 worth of securities se-curities whlrh he has held In his safe for a year and a half, unnblo to sell them. "Yes, tho American party has been heard of very generally throughout tho East, and everywhere I went Inquiries wero made of tho situation here. Eastern East-ern people seem to think that the organising organis-ing of tho American party and tho Inllu-ence Inllu-ence It will have on the election here makes Utah a doubtful State so far as thc national election la concerned. In my mind, however, there Is no doubt that it will go for Roosevelt "From all I could learn, thero ls to bo a great period of expansion In this Western West-ern country In tho coming few years. Nevada, Ne-vada, especially, seems to be attracting great attention In the East, and people everywhere seem to think that If a proposition propo-sition ls In Nevada it will win. Utah's phonomonal output of ores during tho last two years has placed her high up ln tho list of States where Investments aro profitable, and In addition to tho benefit which sho will naturally derive from tho Nevada boom, sho will come In for a goodly good-ly share of Investments of Eastern monoy by reason of her own worth." Judgo Co'.born vas Interested especially In the mining exhibit at tho fair. He did not protend to tako in tho great show, ho says, because after ono has seen one big fair thero la never any other so attractive. But Mrs. Colborn and tho children greatly enjoyed their stay In St. Louis and wero much interested In the fair. AO Senator W. Ai Clark of Montana says that ho will not speak here, as has boon suggested, but will go back to Butto Mon-uny. Mon-uny. Ho says It ls going to bo a hard fight In Montana, but ho thinks the Democrats Demo-crats will carry tho State, Maj. H. P. Myton has returned from a two months' absence on business ln western west-ern Montana. Thc Major says tho outlook In Montana Is that Roosevelt and Fairbanks Fair-banks electors will carry tho Stato, but that tho Democrats will elect their candidate candi-date for Governor. Maj. Myton ls ono of the Roosevelt electoral elec-toral nominees In Utah, and ho will remain ln Salt Lako City until after the election. Secretary of Stato Hammond has sent out certificates to tho various County Clerks throughout the Stato that Frank B. Chrlsteneen of Ogden has been nominated nomi-nated for State Superintendent oi Public Instruction on the American ticket. On tho ground that he had no Jurisdiction Jurisdic-tion and that the paupers named In tho petition of Samuel Russell were not cited to appear In court. Judgo Lewis denied tho petition yesterday. Tho petition was for an order to compel Mrs. Botts, tho registry agent for tho Fifty-third district to removo from her registration list tho names of thlrty-slx Lost inmates of thc coun- Caso on infirmary, also to , . ... restrain her lrom Technicality. allowing tho other Inmates to roglstcr. The petition was made on tho grounds that the paupers, as Inmates of an almshouse, alms-house, have acquired no residence ln that district. The court decided that tho voters In question should be summoned to appear in court and show causo why their names should not be strlckon from tho list. Ho also held that the proper mode of procedure pro-cedure In tho case was for tho votes to bo challenged at election time and have tho judges of election pass on the matter, then tako tho caso into court. An editorial from the Dcscrct News of the preceding day was brought into court. Attorney Evans, who represented Samuel Russell, asked tho court If ho was ln any way likely to be Influenced by the said editorial. His Honor replied" uiat he had not read tho editorial ln question and had not ween the News. In fact, ho had never read that edition of tho paper. Ho added that If ho had by any chance read It, ho would not bo ln tho slightest degree Influenced by It. Tho artlclo ln question was very flagrant, fla-grant, going to tho length of dictating what decision should be rendered by tho Judge. It was, in fact, practically a contempt of court. "If Apostlo Penrose had written It ln his native borough of Soven Dials, London. Lon-don. England," said a lawyer, "ho would bo liable to Imprisonment for a long term for misdemeanor." Attorney Evans complimented his Honor for his Impartiality. Attorney E. M. Allison raised tho point of Jurisdiction rn behalf of Mrs. Betts. He maintained that tho Judges of election elec-tion have original Jurisdiction In all cases involving tho right of persons to vote, and that tho courts havo Jurisdiction Jurisdic-tion only after the ballots have been canvassed can-vassed and thc mattor contested. Tho court did not pass upon tho rights of thc paupers ln the matter, as the case was thus thrown out on technical grounds. If tho paupers arc voted, suit will bo brought to show that they voted illegally, slnco tho election law specifically says thoy have not gained a voting residence at the infirmary. |
