The fair brings men together and enables them to exchange ideas which they put in practice on their farms and ranches to their own profit and the advantage of the community generally. While the attendance at the fair was not as large as It should have been, it was a decided success, and the directors and managers are to be congratulated.

In some classes the exhibits were not as extensive as they have been, but the improvement in quality more than overcame the deficit in quantity. The object of fairs of this hind is educational, and the improve-- 1 ment in the exhibits this year shows that the fairs are 'fulfilling their mis- sion. The horses, cattle and sheep S. Bransford would secure the nomination, in the absence of any active antagonist, except that justly renowned .political contortionist, Mr. Charles Crane. Just at present Bransford appears to have a lead of one or two laps on the chesty wool-grow- er. Much is indulged in to what presamong the uninitiated as sure was brought to bear on the political weather indicator when it pointed towards Bransford as Mayoralty timber. Possibly Mr. Bransford, who is a family man known only to a few inti 1 speculation mate friends and some Park City magnates, has consented to put an eiJjargo on the Sunday liquor selling is also suggested that the Democratic committee came to the conclusion that he was the best man for the place, after an earnest investigation of a gaping vacuum existing in the Democratic cash However that may be, Mr. register. has Bransford yielded 'to their eloquent has struck that Imand importunities posing attitude which has come He known in politics as receptivity. desires it to be expressly understood, however, that he will Immediately of ofchange the pose, if the burdens his with yearly Interfere to fice are Doc.

If Bransford is selected it is understood that the Mayoralty battle will be fought on the money question. The result will doubtless be a diminution in the Silver King fund, as Bransford and Mrs. Emery-Holmare expected to flood the Democratic camp with much needed mazuma, while Tom Kearns et al. must take care of Ezra and furthermore cannot afford to allow the sainted city to list over to the Democratic column. trans-continent- al es Mr. Buckle meanwhile is now indus- triously engaged in removing panels from the Thompson fence. It is claimed by his friends that he will have the backing of the First precinct, and that all the factions which do not browse in the Thompson pasture will be in the combination. This will include one Frank Matthews of the Third, who aspires to the City Recordershlp. The C. B. Felt hysteria victims will also be in the Buckle ranks. While these bloodless contests are waging, extreme activity is apparent among the Temperance union and the United Cyclists. It Is claimed that these powerful organizations are prepared to swoop down on the primaries with gleaming tomahawks on next Monday evening. The wheelmen have organized and have cycle slates printed for each of the districts; the temperance people, being less experienced politicians, have only gone so far as to decide that none with an ecclesiastical rank lower than elder can go to the convention. It Is urgently desired that all precinct chairmen provide the polling places with racks (canvas covered in case ofbicycle rain), and that a sufficient number of prayer-boobe on hand in case the ceremonies should assume a worshipful POLITICIA. ante-electi- on ks as-pe- ct- HOW KEARNS SPOKE UP. The true story of what Influences induced Senator Kearns to reach for the Senatorial toga is known only to a few. It has never before appeared In print, and hence ought to be read with as much interest as though the dent happened but last week or - itbilC inci- HI than a year ago Secretary Heath of Republican national committee ant number of other prominent politic! from the East visited Salt Lake. T1 coming here was for a d p pose to lay the plans for the forr tion of the San Pedro, Los Angeles '< Lake railroad and to learn whet Utah could be wrested from the Dei eras. While here, a conference prominent local Republicans was ca to meet with the distinguished visll and talk over the situation. The c ference was held, and what transpi was given out only to a small It so happened that only adegre few the leading Salt Lake Republicans sponded to the invitation to meet v Mr. Heath and the other notables i touch with ''re; and are. inatclosest Administration Washington. It a matter of chagrin to the particlpa in the meeting that so many of wealthy men in the party here absi d themselves from the confere Some had business elsewhere others sent their regrets, in both two-fol- these classes were men who wrv. af terward candidates for the Senate, ..hi,", against Thomas Kearns, but their cars suffered an almost total eclipse when the contest was on in earnest. Can the Republican party carry Utah? was the question asked of each of the local leaders present at the conference. Nearly every one of the Salt Lakers expressed his doubts, and .oM. ed that he did not know where the money would come from to pav the heavy campaign expenses this, too from men who were rolling in wealth. Naturally, the visitors from the Ka?t who wanted to see Utah in the Republican column were disheartened over such a display of cold feet. But there was one man in the crowd Tom Kearns who had not yet spoken. His command of language was not of the best, but when he spoke he was mightily In earnest. Gentlemen, he said, we can carry Utah, and we will carry Utah at the coming election for the Republican ticket. We will elect a Republican Legislature that will have the naming of the next Senator. It Is true, it will cost a lot of money for the campaign, but I will bear my share of the burden, and if Utah is not In the Republican column when the returns are in, I will pay the whole cost of the campaign out of my own pocket. As t0 getting help from the outside, I dont think we need it. Utah ought to, and will, make a handsome contribution to the national campaign fund, which I am sure the geneltmen visiting us will appreciate." This kind of talk so electrified the visitors at the meeting that they at once took courage. Immediately after adjournment. Perry Heath and his colleagues made the pledge, each to the other, that they Would do all In their power to have Kearns elected Senator from Utah. They had concluded that he was more deserving from a party standpoint than any of the others who were known to be aspirants for the high honor. From that time on Perry Heath and his companions left no stone unturned to place Tom Kearns within reach of tfie Senatorial toga. How well they succeeded. how easily Kearns won out is well remembered. It was the miner's opportunity at that conference, and he made the most of it. That Incident made easy his way to the Senatorship, but the same powerful Influences might just as easily have been brought to the support of Arthur Brown. O. J. Salisbury. VT. S. McCornick or any other candidate who did not lack the courage to put up a good bluff that won out. The Elks are already beginning to lay their plans for the national convention of their order to be held here next summer. They expect at least 30.000 visitors, and It may run to 50.000. Extensive preparations will have to be made for the entertainment of so large a gathering, as the hotel capacity of the city will be wholly Inadequate to the demands upon it In addition to its regulation trade. One proposition is to cover Liberty park with tents and restaurants. The convention will be held early In August, and tent life at that season of the year would be decidedly pleasant and attractive. Applications for accommodations from intending visitors are already coming In. MAKE MY HEART BRAVE! Make my heart brave, O Lord! My arm is weak, but strong enough withal To do my duty whatsoeer thy call; But, oh, my arm doth hesitate and fall, Knowing the weakness of my fainting heart. Make my heart O Lord! I had so dreamed brave, of doing nobler deeds; Rut I must minister to lesser needs: Only thou knowest how ambition pleads! Make my heart brave to do the little things. Make my heart brave, O Lord! Is this the path that I nave chosen long? How fair that other road! The thought breeds wrong. t0 1Ift my burden with a song; ip.,ne Make my heart brave to walk the unchosen ways. Make my heart O Lord! lirave for the loss brave, of faces dearer grown; pEave ,or the battle that is mine alone; The glory unachieved I thought mine own ; Make not my burden less; make my heart brave!
