Hhe 'Nu2gets OF Iruth'
of Second Ward wOmen-POiti-
cal Notes.
The Republican leaders now begin to
realize that they made grave mis-
take in refusing to accede to the re-
quest of the laboring men for repre-
sentation on their ticket. 1t is well
known that some of the political lead
ers on their side promised the labor
ing men that they should be treated
well. How well these promises were
kept is shown by the ticket, which
does not contain a name that can con-
tain any suggestion Of favoring this
class.
Since that ticket has been nominal
LEA, however. the feeling that the DEM
focrats should nominate one or two
Representative of labor has grown
fmuch stronger. 1t is more than pro-
Fhable that under any circumstances
this feeling would have made ltselt
felt, bat now it is realized that only
through the Democratic party is there
any hope of getting labor represented
in the legislature. 1t is hardly thought
possible that suitable candidates to
lead the fight in the labor legislation
under the constitution will be found
either in Ogden or Provo.
Numerous expressions have been
heard among the Democratic leaders
and rank and file within the last two
days in favor of placing at least one
labor representative, and perhaps two,
on the ticket The laboring men say
they will throw their strength to these
candidates and that they will be GER
tain of election.
Worried over Registration.
The Republicans in this city are be
coming exceedingly worried over the
registration of their women. 1t has
been found that very large element
of their voters do not care snap
whether they vote or not They form
the large part of that body which most
strenuously opposed the granting OF
women suffrage. In order to get up
some energy in this line the Repubil-
can women in several wards will make
q combination of politics and society
by giving what will be Known as
Registration teas" during the coming
week. in order to secure the votes OF
women who do not care whether
Trumbo's bar'I or Benefits whiskers
go to the United States Senate. These
are to be followed By trolley parties,
to rroceed via. the street ear Ines, TO
the registration Office. where the dep

ST a bevy of society women IN tulI al
t6Tnoon dress.
In addition to these high society
functions, and in order to catch the
less cultivated vote, the Republican
Ecounty committee intends to hold
II meetings during the coming week IN
order to urge registration of the Re-
publican women. In the words OF sam
Westerfeld, On it, the Gentle
women in this town won't register.
They seem to think themselves above
st. The Mormon women register. Now
2 Shnn't you see that hurts US. The ma
tority of the Mormon women are DEM
ocrats and the majority Of the Gentle
women are Republicans"
Crane Against the Field.
The Republican gubernatorial situa-
ton has now resolved itself into a fight
Of Crane against the field. 1t is not
to be imagined for a moment that Ar
thur L. Thomas will have the ghost of
a chance to win. Since the fight really
began he has been deplorably weak
Even in his own ward he has been I'M
able TO hold his own. When he has
gone outside he has always found
himself too unpopular to be given
preference. AS he has been so far the
Only real opponent of Crane, this
leaves no hard fight. However, there
are several dark horses now in the
race. and unless Crane gets the nom
ination on the first ballot there is
possibility that he viii be defeated.
Astute political observers, however,
claim that he will be nominated on
that ballot. 1t looks as though SIAM
pede had set in County after county
has supported him and more threaten
TO follow in their footsteps.
Heber NJ. Wells would probably stand
the best chance as against Crane. He
has been groomed for some time as
dark horse, particularly by the Tri-
bune outfit. and is not 10th to retain
that position until the convention
meets. Wells has been approached on
several occasions by committees and
other friends, who have asked him to
run. He has answered that he will
not make a race for the nomination.
e5ut that he will take the Office if it is
given to him. He is, however, the best
opponent for Crane. Advices from some
@s of the southern and middle counties
y indicate that he will have some
strength there.
Attempts have been made to bring
Alma Eldridge, Mayor Holbrook or
Charlie Mcbride into the race, but so
far they have not proven successful
The Reform County Court.
The reform" county court is still
coming in for condemnation. Follow
ing the lead of The Herald, Republi-
cans all over the county are INDUCING

outside county, made strong attack
in its last issue. Under the heading
