II. Smith, Vied Turner, and C. C. Cressal are making an active light, for the nomination for ShcrilT and the delegates In convention assembled will have to decide the matter. Smith brings certain claims that aie good ones, and his friends say he will be nominated. Tin nor sajs ho bollevo the convention will sec Its way clear to nominate him, for reasons that havo been set fortli before. Oiessalis an unknown quantity, but, by those who aie pushing him ho Is lcgaidcd as a good substantial man. Smith sa shls long stand with the paityand faithful service, combined with capability, capa-bility, entitles him to the olllce, while Mr. Turner stands on his past leconl asShciilTand the idea that If nominated nomin-ated he can come neater winning, fioin the fact that he will draw the full sticngth of the Republican paity, and largely from t lie Democratic. Either of the thiee men will make a good ShcrilT if elected, but the convention con-vention should pick the man that gives the most piomlse of election. If Smith Is that man Tinner and Cicssall will help elect him, and if Tinner is the man there is little doubt that Smith and Cressal will do all that Is possible to secure him a victory. Like wisp if Cressal Is the man. Excellcntfecllng exists in tills lace, a state of airairsthat aigues well for the nominee. When asked In regard tohlschanccs for nomination, Mr. John Hcndrlck-son Hcndrlck-son said that he felt assured that the convention would nominate him for senator. The Logan primaries vv ere entirely en-tirely satisfactory to him, and If his friends in tho county stand by him as he fully expects, there Is little doubt of tho lesiilt.-IShould Mr- Jlendrlck son be nominated the honor will fall upon a faithful, hardworking and lib-cial lib-cial Republican who will put forth the fight of his lire to be elected. Mr. Hcndrlckson's prominence in the political, po-litical, business and social world makes him a formidable opponent and if he is nominated, Mr. Rarbcrwill find him a hard man to down. Mr. Hcndrlckson's Hcndrlck-son's popularity among the Scandinavians Scandina-vians Is universal, and he will draw great strength from this clement. He is thoroughly qualified forthoposltion and in the state legislature will be a senator of whom Cache county would be proud. A Republican county convention Is hereby called to meet at ten o'clock a. m. on Saturday, October 11, 1002, at tho County Court house, Logan,Utah, for the purpose of nominating tho following officers: One State senator; thiee lcprc-sentatives lcprc-sentatives to the Stato Leglslatuic; ono county commissioner for four year term; two county commissioners for two year term; a county clerk; a county attorney; a county sheriff; a county treasurer; a county recorder; a county assessor; a county surveyor.

II. TlIAINK, Secretary. Friends of Jacob Larsen are still urging him to become a candidate for commissioner rather than clerk. They urge several reasons for this, and one Is that he can secure the commlssioncrshlp commls-sioncrshlp without a doubt, but the clerkship Isbevond him. Mr. Larsen as a Paradise man will piobably bo recognbed with a nomination for some olllce, and ho Is thoroughly competent com-petent for any olllce to which he aspires. Peisonally, he piefeis the clerkship but no doubt if his friends would rather glvo him something else he will accept- giacefully and solve creditably If fleeted. Joel Kicks says that T. II. Smith will bo the nominee for sheillT on the Republican ticket. Smith's qualifications qualifica-tions aie known to Cache County people, peo-ple, who iecognlo in hhn a capable man worthy of this honor. Some say that In the convention he will develop devel-op an unexpected strength. Andreas Pctcisen, one of the moil substantial and favorably known Republicans Re-publicans In Cache county Is now being be-ing uiged as a candidate for the lower house. Mr. Pctcisen Is an able man, a sound icasoner, a student of the State's atfahs, an excellent speaker, and a man who would lcllect cicdlt upon Cache county were he a member of the next leglslatuic. Mr. Peteisen's election Is an assuied fact If he is nominated, for he stands well with both paitles and Is legarded asa good, all-iound cltlcn, square, honest ami w oi thy. Ilo would draw well with tho Scandinavian element, as he Is, one of them. Mr. Pctcisen Is a man foicinost In religious and social affairs and having been In business In, Logan for j eats is well known over tho county. If tho Republicans nominate as good men as Mr. Peterseil for the various olllces there can be no doubt of the ticket's success at the polls on Nov. 4th. He does not feel Inclined to make an 'active canvass for tho I nomination, but if it Is tendered tq hhn he will dpuhtless accept. Mis. Maggie Douglas Morehead of Smlthfleld is mentioned as a candidate candi-date for recorder before the RepubU1 can convention. She is a woman having excellent qualifications, and one known well and favorably over the entire county. It will be remembered remem-bered that sho served as deputy In t Ills olllce for two j cais at the time Miss llcssle Morehead was recoider. At that time she was legarded as an excellent ex-cellent assistant and In the course of business she had the opportunity of becoming well acquainted over tho entire county. Forsovcral years sho was active Jn her father's, business, and Is regarded ery highly In her home town. It is claimed by her friends that her name on the ticket would add strength to it. Thomas Smart as a candidate for commissioner is a man who would add great strength to the ticket. Competent, Com-petent, thoroughly acquainted with the county's needs, a good business man, he would biing to the county a service that is much needed. Mr. Smart Is one of the heaviest tax pay-eis pay-eis In the county, and naturally one whose personal interest in tho best conduct of county affairs is great. He has always been of the greatest service to the party, and the party can hardly do less than nominate him. He is thoroughly genial, not a chionlo olllce seeker, and Is a man whom the Democrats Demo-crats would regard as a man worthy of their votes. Tom's friends aie pushing him to the extent of their ability. C. C. Crcssall (more familiarly known as Cal Ilawkcs) thinks his chances for the nomination of sheriff arc vory good. Mr. Crcssall has always made Logan his home and is widely known ovei tho county. lie has been affiliated affiliat-ed with the Republican party since its existence In the county and has been an earnest party worker. Ho has never received recognition from the party nor has he beforo asked It. At present he Is chairman of the 5th precinct and in that capacity Is a rc-ilablo rc-ilablo party servant. Mr. Crcssall's friends say for him that ho has tho qualifications for an efficient scrvico to tho county In the capacity of sheriff and that should he receive the nomination nomi-nation would bo a strongman on tho ticket as ho has many friends in tho opposite party. Sir. Crcssall asks that ho receive duo consideration from tho voters of Cache county and promises pro-mises to do all In his power to bo elected should ho recclvo the nomination. nomina-tion. If It should happen that ho doesn't recclvo the nomination, ho will bo for the man whom tho party may select. |
