Show o'L-'vJ. -uJL J i .U-.. Li W "Who will 'be appointed as Adjutant-' Adjutant-' General of the N. G. U.T This question Is causing no little amount of comment among the members mem-bers of the Quard at the present time. As has already been stated In. The Telegram, Gov. Cutler has notified the officers of the Guard that he will appoint ap-point a man whom they agree upon, providing the one selected Is agreeable to the Governor. The officers of the Guard win hold a meeting at the armory ar-mory next Snudiy afternoon, at which., time it is thought they will be able to agree upon a name to submit to the I Governor. Such an agreement, however, is by ns means certain, as It is understood that the; officers have adopted the two-thirds two-thirds rule to govern the selection' of their choice. . . It is known that in some Quarters strong pressure is being brought to bear upon MaJ. Richard W. Young to, accept the .position. More than one officer is urging that Mr. Young would be the best man that could be named. Just how MaJ. Young views the matter is not known at the present time. , Another name that is being freely mentioned in connection with the position po-sition Is that of former Judge-Advocate Benner X. Smith. It is argued that Mr. - Smith is familiar with military affairs, besides being popular with the boys. ' Lieut. Ray C Naylor is not without mnnnrt.M Wh mnn tha, nffloera an men of the Guard,- as well as among those who are not connected with that organization. : The name of Col. H. M. H. Lund has likewise been mentioned a number of times during the last few days. His ' friends argue that he has stood by the Guard ' at all times, and that he Is worthy of promotion. Other names are mentioned, but It is thought ' that the position will go to one of these ' four. As stated, however, how-ever, this is, uncertain, especially 4n view of the two-thirds rule. It is possible pos-sible for the out-of-town officers to get together and prevent the naming of any one who does not suit them. It is also possible that the Salt Lake officers will each have his favorite and thus prevent the selection of any of those named. "Yes, I have heard several names mentioned in connection with the position," posi-tion," remarked an officer to a representative repre-sentative of The Telegram last night, "but it would not surprise me a bit if the man finally agreed on was a dark horse. Tou never can tell what's going go-ing to be done until it's done." - |
