Show JUST POLITICS State and National. A gentleman of Logan who keeps close to the situation In Salt Lake city and whose conclusions con-clusions In the past entitle him to credit as a true prophet, says Senator Reed Smoot will, In all probability, announco that he Is not a candidate, can-didate, lor re-election. He believes that Congressman Con-gressman Howell will stand for the apostle's seat and will get it regardless of Mr. Smoot's attitude. According to this prophecy, Mr. Howell stands well all over the state, Is acceptable accept-able to tho Insurgents (though they would prefer pre-fer ex-Governor Wells), and Is as likely to get .tho favor of tho churchmen as is Mr. Smoot. Congressman Howell for senator looks good to this particular Indcpendent.and would not dls-jplease dls-jplease the great portion of Cache republicans. . Though democracy should sweep tho entire country next fall tho prospect for legislation along democratic lines would not bo very brilliant. bril-liant. Regardless of results the republicans have control of the senate until 1012 and what that bunch would do to Bryan or Johnson would be a plenty. |
