THE UTAH HEADQUARTERS
have been established at the handsome
Victoria hotel, next to the Auditorium
and only tnree minules' walk from the
great wlgwam where the convention is to
be held.
Not a Tuscgrora has made his appear
ance and the little band or workers al
ready on the ground have made most OF
the clear field afforded them TLey have
spent most Of the day around the Palmer
house, the headquarters of the national
committee, and hs1 severol interviews
with Secretary Shecran, a great man who
MIXES NATURAL GAS WITH POLITICS,
and seemed vitality interested in all reports
from the natural gas Of the Salt Lake belt.
Mr.. Brice, chairman OF the national com
mittee, is here, aud the Utah Democrats
expect TO hold an interview with him late
tonight. Nothing has as yet transpired
that could in any way show how the local
fight will turn.
The Democrats have TO day filed with
the national committee an opinion on the
status Of Utah affairs, signed by
THOSE DEMOCRATIC sTALwARrs.
Chauncey 4. Black, Bynum, Gardner and
Senator Faulkner 1t is a very strong
document, stating emphatically the posi-
tion Of the true Democrats as opposed to
the Tuscaroras. and the results Of the OBJ
servations made by the distinguished
quartetse during their visit to Utah
All Of the principal papers have inter
viewed the delegates to-day. The Chicago
Herald had special dispatch announcing
the departure of the Tuscaroras, and stat
ing they came backed by decision Of the
Utah courts. The managing editor Of the
paper was shown Judge Zane's decision
and I feel 1 can safely say that the Salt
Lake fakir who sent that

Of the national delegates, and gave Powers
and Kiesel as the members from Utah.
When asked for his authority the publisher

UTAH
and none will be placed there till the CON-
miltee on credentials have looked into the
merits Of the contest
AS it now appears the national commit

William M. Ferry VIII represent Utah.
The regular delegates, however, may ask
that tickets TO the convention be given to
them direct instead OF passing through
Ferry's hands, the fear being that they
would ind Judgment in Tuscarora pockets.
The preliminary hearing will not probably
come up here in the national committee as
1t die in Minneapolis, the
DEMOCRATIC PROCEDURE BEING DIFFERENT.
so that it may possibly be Tuesday or even
Wednesday before the real battle begins.
There is. however, a possibility of the
fight being precipitated earlier in case the
regular Democrats decide to take any
steps to prevent Ferry taking his seat In
the national committee.
The pamphlets Of both the Straight
Democrats and Tuscaroras appear to be
well distributed here.
Frank w. Beaver, the Idaho member Of
the national committee Is here with the
Utah men, and is working like a Trojan to
MD them 10 secure recognition. Whatever
the result may be,
UTAH's OBLIGATIONS TO IDAHO
cannot be overestimated. The Tuscaroras
arrive tomorrow at 4:9O, ana have head
quarters al the Palmer house.
The weather is intensely hot, and the
whole population goes about carrying fans. /
