Callister of Fillmore appointed chaplain of the temporary organization of the Republican convention last week. This was intended by the sagacious state chairman to forever for-ever squelch the impression that it was the Bishop and not the revenue collector whoVas lubricating his withers for a sprint for the governorship. Unfortunately the Bishop was not present, but the manager thinks the use of the ecclesiastic's name answered the purpose. A number of younger Republicans, more or less surcharged with enthusiasm, are seriously considering the organization of a Roosevelt Club, Which they believe would put a quietus on factional fac-tional strife by affording common ground on which to display political activity. The idea is that it is dangerous and a waste of time to fight over differences dif-ferences in a state campaign. It is proposed to have one large jubilation party at Saltalr during the summer, to which the Roosevelt following from all over the state will be invited. One Charles Crane Is exceedingly wrathful anent one A. J. Davis, who is fathering a scheme in the paving line which the bellicose Charles is strenuously opposed to. It is said that he is investigating in-vestigating the rumor that A. J. Davis, chairman of the finance committee, pays but 73 cents taxes annually in the state. Mr. Crane thinks that if this be true, Mr. Davis' anxiety to put the taxpayers tax-payers of the city to additional and unnecessary espense to provide salaried positions for his relatives rela-tives can easily be explained. County Recorder Walter Meeks announces that he will retire from politics and enter the real eg- tate business. Councilman Fernstrom Rays he will quit the tailoring 'business and go into poll, tics. It is not assumed that there was any collu-sion collu-sion or that either of them thought the political field was too limited for both of them td operate in. Possibly Councilman Fernstrom ii inspired in his course by the example of A. J. Davis, who flourishes and waxeth ,fat on his salary of $35 a month. The Young Men's Republican Club which breathed its last in a factional broil, will be succeeded suc-ceeded in the field this year by the John C. Fremont Fre-mont Club. The organization starts in good financial finan-cial shape although the decision to charge an In-itiation In-itiation fee is an unwise one as experience has shown, and will be seriously opposed by the new voters and laboring men. Governor Wells would oblige many people by stating whether he is going to run for the governorship gov-ernorship again. Particularly he would please one J. T. Hammond. If the Governor is going to run again, it is difficult to tell what we could do fo? Brother Hammond, as he has a meager chance to succeed himself as secretary of state. And, by the way, one William Glasmann is obstreperously obstreper-ously urging Wells for the place and promises him the solid support of Weber county. Bill's support handicaps his excellency mightily, and leads the sophisticated to -wonder what William conceals in "his left hand when he makes a proffer with the right. Democrats seem very much worried over the question of whether Kearns and Sutherland, since the signing of the peace' protocol In the late convention, con-vention, will come together at the next convention armed with canister and grape. Just at present It doesn't seem likely. There does not seem any occasion for a clash in the judicial or state conventions, con-ventions, and it is generally believed that they will confine their amenities to a skirmish over the legislative nominees. For the information of numerous enquireis, It seems not only wise but imperative to state that it is B. II. Callister, he of the internal revenue office, who is a candidate for governor, and not BIsUop T. C. Callister of Fillmore. As a result of the conflicting of names, quite a boom has been started fpr the Bishop, and Manager Anderson has been kept busy correcting this most unfortunate error. r - i . The bishops quorum is remarkably well represented rep-resented in the present administration. With Bishops' Consellora Fernstrom, Barnes and Tud-denham Tud-denham in the Council; Bishop Seddon as Street Supervisor, with Bishop Maxwell as his deputy, and Bishops Cannon and Sperry as official advisers advis-ers of Councilman Preece, Mayor Morris has around him a cluster of advisers about as formidable for-midable aB the President's cabinet. |
