Show Doin's Politically. t 111 '! Apostle Smoot, president of the State Shurt- JsM liff; United States Attorney Lippman and Dis- ' j lj trict Attorney Hayes. That is the bunch that ' , J ;i! met in Ogden last Saturday night, and that meet- ' ' IkB ing has removed the last vestige of doubt as JI to the relations between the junior Senator and f ml Smoot, in the minds of most of the close followers I 111 of the situation; but there are those who still k IfH cling tenaciously to the belief that Smoot means fifl what he says about the gulf between himself and , WM the Senator. i ," PH But what would Kearns do without the Apos- 1 'ft tie? He has proven himself a chump politically i jH on more than one occasion, but he can't aiford j ;.H to lose the Provo man, while the Provo man can , ;? hfl get along very nicely without one, Kearns. ) I ff But to return to that meeting, for it is hard I ' j to get away from. It is the talk already of the , J S politicians, from end of the State to the other, 1 1 j S and nearly all are of one mind. It is the begin- J J ; jH ning of the rotten burough that Kearns and jf j his bunch here planned to make Utah, and the T (fill pressure of the political hermaphrodite Shurtllif l '"-"fl at the meeting is disgusting enough in itself to K " H anyone who likes to see an election on an Amer- j ; .1 iH ican 'basis. i ;j ir lj It is reported that that prince of carpetbaggers, U I 1 H Perry S. Heath, will return from the East next lw I week, and then several meetings will follow, in l! -I : B which all nationalities, political parties and H j i H Church ohicials will participate. i If H fjf .H "Our crowd" will be called in regular session rHIH daily, and with the coming of the Senator, a few Lll H days later, the machine will be given some ex- I'ItI tensive repairing, if possible; but at'present it is y i f H sadly out of gear. i JlLlH f'jffl The following temporary officers have been de- ililM cided upon for the Republican State convention, M H in the Ogden opera house, September 11th: ( !H Chairman John D. Murphy of Ogden. ' '' fM First Vice-Chairman Ferdinand Alder of San- S , H pete county. : ijJ Second Vice-Chairman Joseph Odell of Cache I ; county. Hf'i'l Third Vice-Chairman Henry E. Gardner of Irfl Utah county. flill Fourth Vice-Chairman Mrs. Rachel E. Miller j J of Salt Lake City. F !iH Fifth Vice-Chairman Mrs. Miah Day of Mil- iilffB lard county. j ! Secretary George B. Squires of Salt Lake City. f f B Assistant Secretary Mrs. Amelia Graehl of i flB Boxelder county. 1h.II 11 Second Assistant Secretary J. M. Lockhart of 4 Iffll Summit county. j Sergeant-at-Arms Gus Henriod of Juab L IHI county. v ifll First Assistant Sheriff Froyd of Iron county. I ,, City. I lifl Second Assistant Sheriff Clark of Sevier . H county. V j JB Chaplain Rev. Peter Simpkin of Salt Lake f f 'H City. li.i H hlfl S. A. Kenner, the mainspring that makes the Hl "Campaign" wheels "go 'round," has been named f as a prospective member of the State Legisla- c ifl ture. S. A. is all right, and will leave no black ? "fl marks on his record, if he finds a vacant chair llBI in the lower house. fl ISB There is no opposition to County Treasurer W. ifffll H. Dale for renomination, and when he gets it, ml there won't be much opposition in his run for IfSH election. Billy is a clever fellow, with a good IIH lira wSjm j i I , record, and politics shouldn't cut any figure in HHK( 111 the contest for that office. HRfl&j' IS' Hraj in G Hi Naylor, John Howells, John Montgomery, BBgJli' I jS Jr., and Samuel Dowse are tho Democratic can- Bljfj'' I If didatcs for Sheriff. Naylor has the pole in the Hi if " running, but the dope is strong on the others HpSijH ffl ont -he touting is fierce. There are a lot of fac- Rilm"fl P tions after Naylor's scalp, and the fight is becom- Slil m ing very bitter. If he wins out, it will be in an HHJl Jh eyelash finish. HBEiffl I BHfjt if Benner X. Smith and J. "W. Cahoon of Murray HBfjj if are candidates for the State Senate, with practic- Hftjl; In ally a cinch at the hands of the convention. BBIfif r' A. L. Hamlin, in the First, is a candidate for Brot$ j the lower house. He is one of those things who Hrajfivi can change his vote as the occasion requires. Jo- jM; h seph Christensen, who is employed in the Temple, HflMpf P is another candidate. Naturally, there would be Bfiljllj, L no Church influence in his case, and he is such Hjlf I I . a representative man that his nomination will HEm I probably be by acclamation. HHggf Me (1 Bl H II i John A. Houghton is also working for a nomi- 1 Hill i ' nation for the lower house. It is understood he is Hi ml? V a Sutherland man. E if h i n KW g Fred T. McGurrin is out again, in the Fifth. jflfil' j j; He is Kearns-Smoot-, and will probably get a rep- HJg&fHi i H etltion of the dose of two years ago. Hlfiltili With Senator Rawlins and Maj. Young and Ira '. Judge Powers and Mr. Mayle at Brighton, there - ought to be some great Democratic 'obnobbing at the pretty resort, with resultant jobs framed m to suit the most critical connoisseurs. H I! Dana T. Smith, the young Justice of the Peace, j will probably be a candidate for the single office l to be filled this fall. Smith is a popular fellow, U with a splendid record, and can get the place if v . he goes after it. He has made no mistakes since l taking office, a couple of years ago, and is one , of the most popular young men in the city. V ' f ! I It is too bad that we can't have an election for I City Councilman this fall. It is Church or ma- i chine, or both, and any way you look at the herd of sheep the answer is "rotten." ! I , Bert Thurman has announced that he will be IK'P , I 1 a candidate for County Attorney of Utah county. HE4$j! 'I Bert ls a yun man a lawyer of ability, and per- Hs M ' 1 1 ' sonally very populai. ?K'!l' |
