Parley what the prevailing sentiment was on putting up a ticket or not could not be ascertained. Those present were: Messrs. W. H. King, Geo. D. Alder, J. R. Letcher, E. W. Wilson, R. P. Morjim-cro- w re-electi- ris, John.Halvorsen, James H. Moyle, J. W. Judd, J. C. Leary and D. O. Willy. J( Jl Judge Judd at the Democratic club meeting expressed the belief that this church influence quesiton would come to a head very soon. He thought the people would resent dictation. Judge King and J. H. Moyle told him he was mistaken. That the masses were ready to bow to the mandate of the churchmen and that the sentiment could not be knocked, out of them even with a sledge hammer. Moyle said even such an ardent Republican as James H. Anderson would vote the Democratic ticket if President Smith told him to do it.' Jt J Williams is a Cleveland man and so Le Grand Young. Morris Sommer also for Cleveland. John Dorn is for David B. Hill. So H. J. Dininny and James D. Pardee. City Treasurer Morris has no particular choice, but is for the nominee. Hon. W. II. King has no particular choice at this time. H. L. Driver is for anyone with the exception of Grover, while Fisher Harris wants the old man nomintaed. 3o does Ben D. Luce. Doc Norrell is for Olney. Barney Quinn is for Hill. Quil Nebeker declares he is for Iryan, or for the man Bryan declares or. Jf Bryan wants Hill then Quil s for Hill. If Bryan should go to Cleveland, then Quil is for Cleveland. And there you have it. $ Jt Jt The Republican campaign for the nominations is now fairly on. It has been openly declared that the battle is between the Kearns factions, and it will be fought with the utmost vigor by both sides. W. F. James is the avowed candidate of the antis. Several informal meetings have been held in the interest of Mr. James and the work of organization is being rapidly pushed in every voting district in the city. The Kearns people, with Frank Knox as their standard bearer, are well organized and will put up a stiff fight. The followers of Mr. James are, however, much more numerous than their opponents, and well informed people say that Mr. James will come out an easy winner. George T. Odells candidacy lags at the pres ent time, but there is no doubt he will have a very considerable following, but there is no doubt that James is far in the lead. The Republican primaries will be held early in October, and the convention probably about the 12th or 13th of that month. Jt Jt The Kearns crowd are putting up the argument that Mr. Knox could not be controlled by Senator Kearns, but on the contrary that he being the stronger character, would control Kearns, which may be true, but the fact remains that he is the avowed candidate of the Kearns faction. Jt jt T. E. Jenkins of the Second pre- cinct seems at this time to have the inside track for the Republican nomination for auditor. Jt jt - There are a number of Democrats in the city who do not favor the idea of letting this election go by default. They are in favor of nominating a ticket and making an honest effort to elect it. A number of them are from eastern states, where they fought Democracys battles against overwhelming odds for years. With no show whatever for an election, they met in convention, nominated a ticket and fought until the polls closed on election day. These men declare that it is the part of cowardice to lay down. What the h 1 do I care for church influence, or any other influence, said one of them to Truth. What want is for the members of my party to get together. When I am in a convention I dont ask who is Mormon or who is Gentile. I dont care a rap what others do, I want a ticket. When we have it nominated I wil get out and do all I can to elect it. The only thing I believe in connected with this church influence business, is to watch every candidate, and the first one of them who is seen within ten blocks of church headquarters to give him such a drubbing at the polls as he will never forget.

On similar lines attention may be directed to the custom of the newspapers to single out one or two members of the council, and misrepresent them and hold them up to ridicule on all possible occasions. For years Councilman Fernstrom has suffered in that way at theri hands. It has been the fashion of the pepares to make fun of him, misqoute him and make him appear ridiculous, when, as a matter of fact, Fernstrom ias more brains and more good hard common sense than a good many of the other members, and has worked as hard and as faithfully for the interests of his constituents as any of them. His command of the English language is not great, but that does not interfere with his business sense of which he has plenty. He can get along with English a good deal better than those this time being Frank J. Hewlett, Henry Davis, J. J. Thomas, Thomas Hobday, Joseph Christensen, W. H. Clark, S. B. Herrington and Arthur Robinson. Of this "bunch it looks as though Hewlett is a winner, as he has made an excellent record as a councilman and he is also a heavy taxpayer and business men. o RACE SUICIDE.'
