Wolstenholme, who was elected to the last Legislature on the Democratic-Progressiv- e fusion ticket, announced last night her return to the Republican party, and declared she would support the nominees of the Re publican party in the nation, state and county. She declares that the Progressive party has seived its, purpose in the country and in the state, and that while there might have been some excuse for fusion of the Democrats and Progressives in Utah in 1914 and for thein form1912, ing of the Progressive party all the causes have' disappeared.

"There may have been differences Demowhich caused a fusion of the 1914 in crats and the Progressives in Utah and Salt Lake county. Those differences seem to be wiped from the slate bv the strong progressive platform adopted by the Republicans at the Ogden state convention. The manner in which t the Democrats have since fusion treated the Progressives has been such that no one but a Democrat could stand for the things which have been done, the accusations which have been made and the manner in which the Democrats have tried to swallow the Progressives of this state. "There may have been a reason for fusion in an off year, but no one can in this state give a reason for fusion or this county when the issues in the nation are whether America shall re-as sume her place among the nations, will be' done with Republicans con-in will charge,to orbe whether America of the world, tinue as it has been under the present Democratic administration."

In the past the men who conhave stituted the different committees done hard work in the Republican and have carried it to victory, party and now they are put in places to work and It Is through their efforts the campaign will be won. Those who are on the different committees were selected only after the names of a dozen or more men were considered. The committee spent almost three hours in getting the committee lists complete. After Wednesday It is possible that the campaign will be under way, as the secretary will be chosen at that time and he will be instructed to get to work at once."
