Show Ogden Letter. HK j J Ogden, Utah, July 3rd. Hj j r ' There is more than consolation for the approach- HH ing fata of Saltair in the rumor from the head R offices of the Southern Pacific that a monster HH ft ' " pavilion and magnificent hotel will bo built on the HRf ' jf Ogden-Lucin cutoff at Promontory. It is said the HHi ' location has already been decided upon and that Hjj '. , plans for the new resort are now in the hands of n bF-i tne engineers. It is unfortunate for the interested HBI Y public that the rumor cannot be verified absolutely, Hl ', ' ' but enough is known to guarantee the patrons of H , the lake that long before cheerless, beerless Salt- Hk'v air is bleaching high and dry on the sand, Prom- Hni w'r ontory trains will bo carrying the pleasure-mad i, J " crowds to the best beach for bathing on the shores ,'t ' of Salt lake. That is worth something, anyhow, and as the prospect is bright well, what is bettor than a prospect over the signature of Harriman? jt .,',' It is taken for granted that Geo. Sutherland will K Jtj' not bo a candidate for renoraination, but will at- rihtf tempt to break into the Senatorial fight notwith- v " ' standing the alleged edict that the next Senator Hf H must be a churchman. Sutherland's position on Hf . , , the postoffice fight has made him many friends and H k: his following has been largely augmented. His H outspoken opposition to Kearns on the Cuban K , ' sugar bill has also added to his prestige. He stands 1 V ace-high with the people who make the ticket, HjM' ', and if he butts in it's dollars to doughnuts he will H' W draw considerable strength out of Weber. There Hl''' is a strong disposition hero to recognize merit of HjU'i , the kid Sutherland is long on, and the opposition Htf of the pie-disponsing Senator will do him more !'',! !', j good than harm. 'nil , ' B 1 If the political cat jumps the way some people Hi: figure on there may bo a Senatorial candidate from Hl l Weber county who would make some other candi- B , ' dates, in and out of the church, look like thirty H cents. He is none other than our old friend, H I business man and millionaire, David Eccles. Mr. HP " j Eccles is probably the most generous tithe-payer H , j in the church. That is significant. He owns half H'' of Ogden, a good slice of Salt Lake, part of Cache Hi1, ( county, and the western half of Oregon, includ- Ht, , ing tlie Sumpter Valley railroad, besides three H s' j sugar factories and half a dozen banks. There is BHj ' ' , another qualification which Eccles is strong on Hl 'j, f , horse sense. He wears plain clothes and talks Hj j' 1 1 Scotch. If his friends succeed in pushing him into Hj j! J the race the next Senator from Utah will be named Hi ! i Eccles. B i Charley Brough has been looking into his peep- Hjji J stone again and he gives out the dope as follows: H'i ;i Candidates for the Legislature Bishop Wade, H i j, ' Bishop Stewart, Bishop McKay, Bishop McFar- Blij ' .1 land, and First Counsellor H. H. Thomas. It is H ' J j evident that Brough must have had a revelation Hj'' j I or dreamed he was sustaining by the rising of the Hr S'j j right hand the presiding officers at quarterly con- H, j? j1 j ference. Another dope brewed by A. R. Hey wood Hj f J ! produces different results. For State Senator J. i M D. Murphy or E. T. Hulanski; for the Legislature: KKf Bishop Wade, Archie McFarland, David McKay HIJIl! and W. J. Shealey. It is said Hoywood has a urim BSuf! '' and thummim. If so there ia something wrong HBi between these workers of miracles. Both lists are BBfirr j i respectfully referred for revision to Hon. John D. HH'l f j Murphy, boss. kkVfiM 'r Bf 1 i j The fight for County Superintendent of Schools H 1 ' j has developed into a partisan matter and the can- Hflf' A didates named in this paper are lined up in politi- Hi ' cal battle. The odds should be in favor of Peter- iflSi'jii I i- son as the countv is considered safely Republi- HbI'F li can but "Wilson, the Democratic nominee, has in- Kfi trenched himself in the good opinions of the peo- HfcMJ pie during his four years' incumbency, and it will bo a battle royal to dislodge him. There are a half hundred teachers in the county and about nine-tenths of them tire for Wilson. The contest will develop not on party lines, but into a question of avIio has the most friends. Peterson probably leads in scholarship, while Wilson has the advantage advant-age of large acquaintances and good address. The election is July 14th. |
