It was decided that the delegates lo ths convention will ask that the outside precincts be granted places en tho ticket for ono county 'commissioner, county aesesoor, county surveyor, three members of the state house of representatives, and one state senator. Speakers at the meeting were the president, M. M. Warner Jr., George T. Sharp, E. L Burgon, John Ptxton, A. E. Beveridge .and others.

Funk, candidate of ths Dent ocratlc party for representative in con gress from the First Utah district, yes terday tendered to Governor Bamberger hie resignation as senator from the Second senatorial district of Utah.' While the resignation followed as the natural oonsequence of Senator Funk's nomination last Monday, it caused more or less surmise around ths state capitol, for the reason that when be leaves the state senate Senator Funk also steps down from rtha presidency of that body. Senator Funk, whose home is at Richmond, Cache county, has been a hiem-bof the state senate from that, district since the session of 191L He was elected president of the senate In 1917 and again In 1(1$. In the latter capacity he is, under the state constitution, second In the line of succession to the execu tlve authority In the state. er Line of Succession. The basic law of the state says that when the governor for any reason Is unable to act the secretary of state shall fill the position, and In case be, too, la unable to perform the duties of the office they shall be oarrled out by ths president of the senate. There the 'Tine of succession" stopi. It was the opinion In soma quarters of the state capitol that It might help somewhat, In case Governor Bamberger and Harden Bennlon, secretary of stataw should find it desirable to be absent from the state at ths same time between now and the second Monday of next January, If the governor were to withhold accepting the resignation of Senator Funk for the - time-bein- g. Without consulting the authorities on tho subject, Dan B. Shields, attorney general, said yesterday that he was inclined to the view that the filing of the resignation with ths governor vacated the office. Just what would happen should Gov ernor Bamberger and Mr. Bennlon both be Incapacitated at the same time between nova and the first of the year. Is a matter of surmise. Some say that tbe speaker of the house would be tbe legal governor; some that the attorney general as the sol remaining member of tha state board of examiners would have to assume the office. Still others contend that the list of elective state officers should bs followed aa given in the conThis list stitution and ths statutes. names ths officers in order as governor ant of treasurer state, auditor, secretary attorney general.

It had been thought that, since the president of the senate has the power to appoint a member from ths fioonto preside during the remainder of the a Ion, It might have been possible for blm to name his successor until the senate should, meet again. Ths rules of ths senate, however, provide that the substitute president shall not extend beyond In any event, Mr. Funk adjournment." did not make any such appointment. While there' Is nothing In the state law which provides that Senator Funk should resign before running for congress, and while It Is probable that, if elected to the national office, he could still set as state senator for ths greater part of the regular session of the legislature, since he would not become congressman until after March 4, next, it is noted that such a tenure would not be in harmony On with the spirit of the state law. tha other hand, should Senator Funk behave watted until elected to congreee fore resigning from the state senate, his successor could not be regularly elected at the elections next November, since Senator Funk's electlvs term does not expire for two years yet.

Wyoming Producers Object to Ruling Which Handi- caps Sales in This Market ( The refusal of the public utilities commission of Utah to allow an advance of intrastate freight rates on coal does not meet with th approval of coal mine owners of Wyoming. They seem averse to the Idea of paying higher freight ratea and then meeting the current prices for . coal offered by Utah dealers. They might charge more, bbt they admit this would' not appeal to consumers. On the other hand. Rock Springs Is nearly 104 mile farther from Eialt Lake than are the Utah mines and Salt Laks dealers hold that K If the Wyoming operators desire to compete In this field, they should be willing to pay tha difference In rates. The Central Coal to Coke company, which, handles Its own coal from Rock Springs, Wyo is said to bring approximately 50,000 tons of coal annually into Utah. There are other Wyoming companies that do a big business In Utah. On of these is the Lion Coal company, which belongs to th Eccles interests These Interests are also engaged In sugar production. Before the advance tn rates, said T EL Mulhall, sales agent for the Central Coal to Cok company, yesterday, "the railroad rates were equalised so that we all had an even break. We are expect- ing a reversal of the Utah decision to be made by the Interstate commerce commission; or, if that la not dona, that tbe railroads will give vs a rata that will enable us to compete fairly with the Utah min owners. Our rates on lump and nut coal have been advanced Jrom 12.10 a ton to $2,826 a ton, making an advance of 62H cents a ton. - On slack the advance was from 11.80 to 92.26 a ton, making an advance of 46 cents a ton from the mines to Salt Lake. Advantage to Wyoming Mines. Most of the Wyoming coal goes to the northwest and to Idaho, although some of it Is used on the eastern markets. The Wyoming mines have an advantage over thoee In Utah In dealing with points in Idaho and the northwest, and some of the dealers declare that the Wyoming men y have nothing about which they can protest.

Wyoming Dealers Aggressive. The Wyoming dealers charge 50 ceutg a ton more for their coal at the mines. The price at Utah mines generally Is 94.60 a ton. At the mines of tho Central Coal to Coke company lit Rock Springer the price Is 95 a ton, ' . At present the Wyoming dealers are meeting the price in Salt Lake and the! say that they do not intend to be peshed off the market. They do not like the Idea of taking tbe difference tn rates from their profits. Nor ao they wish to absorb the difference tn the price ot coal at the mines. The advance In rate hits them and does not hit their competitor Ths refusal of the state public utilities commission to grant the increase aa allowed by tbe Interstate commerce com- - f mission puts them under a handicap. There 1 no law that prohibit the Dragon Short Lins and tbe Union Pacific from meeting the rats of the Denver to Rio Grande, out there has been no apparent move on the part of the railroads to do this. J. A. Reeves, general freight agent for the Oregon Short Line, said yesterday tliat his company had done nothing townrd meeting the rate and that hs hsd not given the subject serious consideration. Comparatively speaking," said Mr. Reeves, "the amount of coal . our handled by company from Wyoming wJ to Halt Lake Is small anil we have heenT too busy getting our new rates, working to bother much about It.
