Republicans Are Overlooking the
County with Very Poor Speakers.
MANTI, Oct. 7.-Colonel who is Tat
lock? >" member Of the Utah commits
sion. inspector-genaral of the National
Guard of Utah, chief grand marshal OF
the Republican parade, etc, etc,
caught a Tartar in Sanpete last week
in the shape Of oar registration officer,
who came off the victor Of a blOOdless
battle. Some time ago the Republican
campaign managers called on our regis
trar for a copy of the lists and were
promptly refused Last Tuesday Com
missioner Tatlock put in his appear
ance here and called on the registrar
to allow him to look over the lists. AS
two Republicans were with him the
registrar refused to accede unless the
request was made by Taldock officially
as a member OF the commission. This
was not done and the Republicans went
away unsatisfed. Tatlock said he
would return and see about the matter
next day, but 50 far he has failed TO
put in an appearance.
1t now looks as though Sanpete will
go Democratic by $50 votes and tne
party is gaining all the time. Maloney
and Weber did very good work. while
here and all parties are commencing
them. They made votes. There is now
but little money offered on the election
bets. Last year the Republicans had
plenty OF loose cash to bet, but this
year they have sewed up their pockets
and are so discouraged that it is hard
to get them to put up enough cash to
buy torches.
The Democrats have completed their
organization in the county and are
oh
touches on the Republicans. They are
gaining constantly. They have their
strength more closely registered having
done superior work. The Democratic
cd..diGs-.1S Ter the IegisIacure begin
their campaign speaking at Gunnison
tonight and will visit every precinct
between now and election day.
Whether their opponents will follow
suit remains to be seen.
The Democrats have scored a great
point in the judicial contest by secur-
ing a joint debate between L. r.
Rhodes and Jacob Johnson, candidates
for district judge. The challenge was
issued by the Democrats. They hardly
expected to have it accepted, as they
know JOhnsOn's disposition too well
TO believe he is anxious to meet his
opponent. johnson, however. was alb
sent and the Republican chairman &C
cepted. Had Johnson been here we
would have probably heard of another
itinerary, as unbending as that of AL
len. Johnson is not clam, but Rhodes
will bake him just the same
Several dissatisfied voters, mostly
Republicans, have started an indepen-
dent movement here, for the purpose
of voting foT the best men in the city
election. The Republicans are very
anxious about this movement, but the
Democrats feel very good, as they will
have no difficulty whatever in putting
up a good ticket

1t seems TO be the opinion of the Re
publican campaign managers that any
thing is good enough for Sanpete.
George NJ. Cannon seems to think he
can send any kind of men down here
and satisfy the people. For some time
we have been flooded with the rag,tag
and bobtail of the Republican speakers,
The people of Sanpete are up to date,
They cannot be imposed upon by po-
litical nondescripts and the Republican
party is losing by its policy.
A few days ago we had John NJ.
Zane. He went around the county cas-
ing of his feelings by unwarranted
mudslinging. He INDUCED in his
favorite .pastime of roasting and
MS speeches. were bOOmer2ngS The
people We're not inclined to fol-
low man who went so far
into bitterness aS Zane did.
Then Glen Miller made a ouear
speech in Ephraim that convinced tbe
people there of his absolute Ignorance
He claimed there We're 20. 600. 900 tra,n1ns
In the United States, or 9 out of every
of our men, women and children
According to that statement the head
of every family must be a tramn
There is absolute proof that he made
it. That is only one of his statements
Does George NJ. Cannon imagine the
people of Sanpete are so ignorant that
they will swallow such stuff?
To add injury to insult Barlow Fer
guson and J. Costigan have been Wis
fting the smaller precincts. The first
named gentleman talks tariff in A
heavy sort of manner, leaving his
hearers with a feeling of doubt as to
what the particular results Of a tariff
is. The principal thing remembered
by the hearer is the statement that if
the Mckinley bill had rot been. re-
pealed. wool would have been II cents
instead of 9, and nails cents instead
of 10. He touched on the benefits of
a sugar factory, but as Jake is going
to build that Institution. the party
did not get excited. Costigan is the
funny man OF the show. and amuses
the boys by the amount of mud sling
ing he can do. He may not be a mud
turtle, but he evidently believes in Dor
