RICHFIELD, Utah. Sept. 21.-The |
county of Sewer will be the scene Of
one Of the Iiveliest battles in the cam
paign that is on. The Democrats are
not at all dismayed by the apparent
overwhelming majority which con-
fronts them. They realize that great
victories have often been won in the
face of greater obstacles than con-
front the party in this part of
the coming state. Sewer has elected
Democratic county and legislative can
didates in the past and the Democrats
here have about come to the conclu-
sion that what has been done before
can be accomplished again, if they will
work hard.
conference of leading Democrats
of the county was held here today, and
after careful consideration they re-
solved to push their work of organiza-
ton and never let up until the enemy
is routed from the field.
The tidal wave which swept over
this part of the territory last fall was
the result of Republican misrepresen-
tation and misplaced confidence on the
part of many voters in this county.
The calamity cry of Republican cam
paign speakers will not deceive the
people again this fall.
The Democratic state ticket meets
the approval of every Democrat, and
as the men are known to be tried and
true, the people will support them.
There is no disposition to abuse or
cry down the Republican nominees, be-
cause the Democrats hereabouts do not
believe in that kind of political war
fare; but they do believe there is no
truth in the declaration that the Dem
ocratic party is in any way responsible
for the hard times. Hon. John L.
Game has a host Of friends in this
part of the territory; they know him
to be an honest, capable man, and
while no one charges his opponent, Mr..
Wells, with incompetency many of
them believe, judging from what the
two gentlemen have had to say when
addressing their fellow citizens in this
campaign, that Mr.. Caine is best quail
flied for the Office of governor at the
present time. This sentiment is quite
general among the people of this coun-
ty and is growing every day.
Republican Convention.
The Republicans of the Tenth sem
atorial district held their convention
here today and nominated j. L. Chides-
ter, of Piute county, for state senator.
The district comprises the counties of
Sewer, Piute and Garfield, and is con-
sidered a Republican district, although
the Democrats propose to go in and
make fight to wrest it from their
friends the enemy.
The Sewer county delegates to the
Democratic senatorial convention
which meets at Panguitch, Garfield
county, left here today to be present
at the place of meeting Monday, the
23d.
The delegation is a strong one, and
regardless of the fact that it requires
a day and a half to go and the road is
rough and rocky, the county will be
fully represented. The delegates go
uninstructed.
The principal candidates are Seegmil-
, Ter, of SEWER Page, of Piute, and Sar-
gent, of Garfield.
At the county convention which was
held this afternoon. James Bolitho, of
this city, was nominated as the Re-
publican candidate for the lower
house from this county, on the third
} ballot. His principal competitors were
Peter Christensen and John Liddle, of
Salina.
David Magleby was nominated for
county superintendent of schools
The contest for district judge in this,
the Sixth district, is going to be very
!, lively. Both candidates reside in this
: county. William McCarty, who resides
at Monroe, the Republican nominee,
is very popular here in his own coun-
ty, but is not so we'll known in the
: other counties comprising the district.
e. w. Mcdaniel, the Democratic candi-
: date, resides in this city, and is equal
/ ly as popular here at home as his ri
5 val, and about the only advantage
: McCarty has over him is the fact that
his party had majority in the county
last fall of $50. The Salina Press
Republican). speaks as follows of the
judicial noinees:
Democratic Judicial Convention.
The Democrats held their judicial
convention in Circleville last Saturday,
and e. w. Mcdaniel was made the
, candidate for district judge. No clean
: er man could have been named or one
} more competent to fill the Office. Mac
and McCarty are two of the braini-
! est young men in the district, and both
, the Republican and Democratic par
ties put up the best timber obtainable.
There will be a nice, clean-cut fight,
and all eyes are turned in the direc-
ton of the judicial candidates.
: The above indicates that there will
D be no bitterness in the judicial cam
paign. In the other counties of the
district Mcdaniel is probably as well
| known as McCarty, but ne has TO COM
f bat Republican majority in every
!, county, and in the whole district he
} will have to overcome a majority of
900 In a, vote of about 2,400, which 10
say the least, gives McCarty a, decided
advantage. Mcdaniel is going to make
} a thorough canvass of the district. and
