Show i Ogden Letter. 1 Ogden, Aug. 1-1. ' The young men of the Republican ulub are highly elated over tho success vhich their efforts won for Weber county at the Lugoon outing. Be- HSjfi''jj ! ')' sides furnishing a crowd of between 600 and 700 Hkf!i - Republicans, the young men had tho satisfaction HH&! I : of seeing the Ogden Council win the ball game, BmB1I I : and three of tho prizes for their own people. When MBIfl! j J '- the boys live down the wholly unwarranted news- Bslgf'jf i I pape1' notoriety which has been fcorced upon the HHnj j club, it might bo a good idea to persuade Bagby HB mlp, J to turn over to tho treasurer the basket of wine mm p j I he won as the ugliest man (he is really good-look- Hf s1j ! j ing) for the purpose of "wetting" the installation In Hj ;' of officers. Bagby would certainly be agreeable, ab mm jw . j ' " he is a temperance man himself, and he knows HttH jjlfjf! : j ' . he got the wine under false pretenses mm Hli I HNf jijr i Bwll'lf-1 M There will be no fight in this county between Hflrafjii . the friends of Sutherland and the Kearns boos- Hl llll i ters. Tho reason is no Ogden man can be con- Bflfl&jff ! , vinced that a failure to take a slap at our particu- Hflgg Jus I ! ; lar home industry, the manufacture of beet sugar, KJJilfjffj would be turning down the President. There is KB fill i nobody in Weber who thinks because Kearns has Emm j ' agreed to support the President's treaty with Ififljrff Cuba next December, that the beet sugar interests fflllll I have lost their standing as recipients of the Re- HUi.llt!! publican protection policy. In short, it is idle to UnUii j suppose that because Kearns is a little wobbly on llXSfJp ' ' the reciprocity proposition the rest of the State HP '-j j I . should begin to vacillate also. And that's the sit- ij j " nation. There will be no fight, because the Re- 1 1 t publicans on this question all think one way the j . ' Sutherland way. IV r I UJ J There is little doubt that McCarty and Howell Mil 1 1 will be treated exceedingly well by the Weber mJ ft j - delegation at the State convention. McCarty is Wt : 1- 1 ' recognized as a strong character on the bench, Eg j j fJ able in jurisprudence and fearless and just in his L',!' if; interpretation of the law. What he lacks in ex-Wm ex-Wm if :M I perience (ho is yet a young man) his friends claim ' j'ifjl .', hs amply balanced by his integrity and his earn' ea-rn' I'i'! " pacity for study. His record in Weber county, toJ'1; , where he is a frequent judicial visitor, is not flKfrfii I ', marked with any of the scars that are publicly !Jj 1 1 paraded about convention time. His friends are Jl actively at work and, in view of the fact that no f ,j other candidate for the Supreme bench has been Klj 1 seeking support here, the outlook is rosy for Mc- KffjL'l! Carty. Ms H i iw , Hill' 1 ! Howell spent a portion of the week here, and ill I ' 'M ' went -away satisfied. Besides an actively working Ui I f : force of near relatives, the Cache county man has HI ! 1 Jj many friends who would like to see him succeed Hi 1 1 if ' Sutherland in the House. The politicians here Hm1) n seem to recognize that of the candidates men-Mi men-Mi , f ' jf j tioned for Congressional honors, Howell has had S i' I more of a public career and is more favorably J 1 11 1 1 ! known throughout the State than any of the oth-'f oth-'f wjl ers. These things all have an effect in shaping H li 1 " public sentiment favorably to the man from the m : :il North, and whether the other candidates like it or Hi if It 1 no' iey na( Detter prepare to see a very large HI mm f slice of the Weber delegation go to Howell. 11 ffl'jk j H WR For some time Bill has been trying to get a H IB', if 1 Democratic paper started here and, as he is hav- H R ine his annual eruption, he has been threatening H lkj i, to turn the county over to the Democrats unless H mW ll ' tlie RePulicans let nira Dss the whole works. H mi i J 1 The natural inference was that he was again dal- H IIb1 jj) lying with the Democrats for some mysterious B IHh I' purpose, and when the chickens came home to H HK. roost he rushed to his own defence in his own HHfH! 1 paper by abusing leading Republicans. Of course, HHfl I the people laughed at him. The trouble is that Bill got himself into another tight place and he thought the only way out of it was to jump on some one. He only demonstrated that the Standard Stand-ard is a personal organ. He also succeeded in disgusting what few people who were inclined to bo friendly to him. As LittlefieJd says: "The higher a monkey climbs the more he shows his tail." |
