him into politics at this time.
L. G HARDY.

L. G. HARDY.
Genially and generally known as
Len, is bishop of the Second ward
is celebrated the city over for two
things-his love of stock cattle, and
his kindly, generous disposition.
Nationally, Republican, locally a
citizen and a heavy taxpayer. Was
the last county collector, and made
an honest, efficient and capable OIL
Ger. Is heavily interested in the Utah
Sugar company and the Brigham
Young Trust company, in both OF
which big institutions he is a director.
Hardy is in the pivotal precinct, and
he couldn't be bettered to aid in max
ing the hot fight that will rage there.
A G. GIAUQUE
Is one of the prominent young hust-
ling business men of the Second pre-
cinct. He is the right hand man OF
Elias Morris, who operates the FLO
neer Rolling Mills, the Marble Monu-
ment yards, the tile and mantel busl-
ness, the business of Houlahan, Crit
fiths & Morris, and other substantial
concerns. Mr.. Giauque is another ex-
pert in the accountant line. and ms
talents, too, will be of vast beneht
to the public if he should be success
ful in securing a seat. The Second
Precinct is a Liberal stronghold, but
the great army of tramps and hobos
whose names have been stricken from
the list and who will turn tip miss
ing on election day, gives ground Tor
the hope that the Second Precinct Will
join in the general revolution. In ma
Eonal politics Mr.. Giauque is Demo-
crat.
GEORGE D. DEAN
who was placed on the ticket to re
present primarily the great labor in
terests of the city, is the right sort of
man ITO help wage the hot fight that
is sure to be carried on in the Second
Precinct At present he is a machln-
ist in the R. G. w. railway shops. A
member of the Machinists' union and
the Federated Trades. He has not
held offices in the organizations mere
merely because he would not accept
them. He is native of Massachu-
setts aged so years. Served three years
in the late war as drummer BOY, WIN
the 18th Massachusetts volunteers
Tried ranching in Kansas for a few
years, worked in the Union PACING
shops at Laramie, and afterwards be-
came foreman of the shops at Green
River He was a member OF the Wyo-
ming legislature in 1882. He came to
Salt Lake in 1883, and has been here
ever since. In nationl politics he is
Republican, and up to now has been
a Liberal in local politics.
M. j. CHEESMAN.
to whom has fallen the lot of fighting
in the hard battle ground known as
the Second precinct, is cashier OF the
Union National bank of this city. 1t
was hard work to induce him to enter
the fight on any terms owing TO tne
press of his personal business, and it
lis probable he would have refused
outright had he not been urged by
the Walker brothers, who are not on
w his relatives by marriage, but own
ers of the bank, and VINO are among
the heaviest tax payers in the city.
Mr.. Cheesman is a young business
man of first-clasS reputation, who has
hitherto trained with the Liberals.
In national politics he has no decided
views, but is said to lean to Republi-
canism. His politics, however, like
those of most other western flnan-
ciers inclines to that one of the ma
tional parties which shall show, by its
future actions, that it is the warmest
friend of silver.
W. S. MCCORMICK.
head of the great banking house of
Mccormick & Co., will be the heav-
lest man of affairs in the whole coun-
ell. He is already spoken of as the
future president of that body Mr..
Mccormick is a free silver Republican
and his nomination in an out and out
Democratic precinct was q decided
compliment 1t was the fashion for
men of heavy business concerns to
decline nominations as fast as they
were made, and with the examples of
Mr.. Lowe Mr.. Armstrong and others
before him, it was feared he could not
be induced to undergo the annoyance
and toll of a campaign. But he deci-
ded to stay in the fight, and he
placed the Citizens party under obli-
cations to him by so doing. If there
is any one thing more than another
the city will stand in need of for the
next two. years, it is a shrewd, capa-
Bile financier and in Mr.. Mccormick
| it will find an able pilot to assist in
steering it through the reefs and
shoals of disaster.
JOSEPH WATSON
is head of the we'll known building and
contracting firm of Watson brothers.
Though his untiring industry, shrewd-
ness and skill have raised him to the
position of an employer Of many
wcrkmen, he is himself, in all respects,
the embodiment of a working man.
His trade was that of a mason, and
his firm has erected such buildings
as the Templeton hotel, the Hooper
block. the 3. Y. Trust Co.'S edifices,
etc. He is regarded as a man of ster-
ling worth, and is very popular with
the working classes on account of his
plain, rugged, honesty and his
straightforward business habits. In
national politics he is a Democrat He
will be a tower of strength in the city
council, especially in the departments
where contracts are executed; that
he will be elected goes without say
ing.
R. P. MORRIS
is member of the coal firm of Vol
istenholne & Morris and though very
quiet and retiring, may be justly
classed as one of Salt Lakes solid bus
mess men. Dick" as he is famil-
iaFly known among his friends, is very
popular in his precinct, as is evidenced
by the fact that ne was named by
/ the Citizens, Independent Citizens
and the straight Democrats. His ma
| tional politics are Democratic. He,
working classes, and being an old rail-
road employee, it is expected that he
VIII pull heavily among the Union Pa
