SENATOR'S FROM UTAH.
The Republicans Are Already Can
wasting the Situation.

wasting the Situation.
The Republicans are beginning tic
overhaul their senatorial timber very
early in the game, and names are be-
ing freely discussed in connection with
! senatorial honors to be bestowed in
fevent that the g. o. p. should have a
majority in the next legislature. 1t is
respectfully suggested that such dis
cussion is irrelevant and imnlaterlal
! for the reason that the Re
nublicans will not elect the next
legislature. The recent landslide has
simply aroused the Democracy to the
necessity Of perfect organization ana
of seeing that every Democratic vote
! is cast. Overconfidence among the
rank and file of the Democratic party
had much to do with the result at 1ne
recent election, but 1t will not inquire
next time.
II is said that o. ]. Salisbury, VINO
| is able TO fill fairly we'll the position
| of police commissioner, mas d
great big senatorial bee buzzlilg ~
/ his bonnet. No one has yet been aDle
| to discover on what he relies for OBTAIN
! ing the senatorial toga.
Then there is Artie Thomas. Inc
people of the Fourth precinct did not
! think him big enough to fill seat I'D
CONSTITUTIONAL
the same Artie thinks chair in the
United States Senate is about his size.
Tt is said that the Tribune will insist
on the election of Thomas, which is an
additional handicap for the Liliputlan
statesman to carry. During the recent
campaign, the Tribune took great pains
to parade Artie's speeches in its col
umns. at the same time practically
ignoring prominent men of the party:
Arthur Browns friends think he
would make a senator worthy of the
new state, but if he has any aspira-
tons in that direction he has not given
any intimation of them.
Then there is w. II. Dickson. He was
ignored in the recent campaign posi-
bly, because he has a tremendous fol-
lowing in the Republican party and it
was feared that if allowed to come to
the front, he would disarrange some Of
the wires that are being carefully laid.
c. S. Varian will also be in the fight.
The Tribune will oppose him from start
to finish and he has at least that much
in his favor.
Last on the list and perhaps the most
important of them all is Colonel Isaac
Trumbo. When he first entered the
lists. the self-appointed leaders af
fected to take him as joke, but they
are taking him very seriously just now.
He works upon lines that are entirely
novel to the machine here, and the
bosses are at a loss to account for his
pull. Then the colonel has a record Is
he not Utah's liberator and did he not
stand in the breach almost alone when
Thomas and the Tribune crowd were
fighting statehood, division and pretty
much everything else that was for
Utah's good? Yea, verify, and didn't
James G. Blaine testify to the fact
that the colonel was a streak of SUM-
shine? But the voters of Utah should
keep steadily in mind the fact that
the election Of a Republican legislature
will probably mean the election of
Trumbo and Cannon as senators. There
IS no Joke about that and the only way
to avoid such calamity will be to elect
a Democratic legislature, which win in
sure the selection of such men as
Joseph L. Rawlins to represent the
great state OF Utah in the Senate of the
United States. And that's lust What
the voters will do
