party in prospect, but the men here
need not expect that they will absorb
al the excitement of the coming cam
! paign. There is an element of locality
/ entering into the fight in the Fifth.
The trouble is that there are three
! sections clamoring for the judge.
| part of the country, proudly holds up
! It's head and declares that it should
have the plum bestowed on one of
| its useful citizens. Beaver though, has
some ideas of its own on that sub
Ject. The people there have always
thought they were Disseminated
against in the matter of judiciary, and
they believe it would only be right to
have chance for once to name its
judge. But then comes a wall from the
lower country. Chidester, hailing from
picturesque Panguitch and believing
ne has the support of all the lower
country, demands that he and his sec
ton be given the plum. 1t is the old
question of the country against the
largest cities in the district
Judge Bartch a Possibility.
But the knowing ones assert there
is a possibility of an outsider walking
off with the plum, while the insiders
! are Quarreling over localities. Judge
Bartch is being urged by some to for
get his luXuriant supreme court ambi-
tons, in view of the fact that he does
not stand much of chance of Secur-
ing their qualification, and make the
run in this district, which is so fixed
as to carry a Republican judge
through, no matter how unpopular he
may be with the independent and
much better chance of being NOM
mated and elected there than he would
here, for, as a matter Of course, he
would range up better alongside of
some of his competitors than he would
in the general scramble. The district
is large, but the business will not be
SO heaVy that he could not take care
of it and he has given reasonable sat
isfaction to the Republicans of the
lower country since he has been in
Office. Some of the strongest party
men there are urging his candidacy.
Presley Denny In 1t.
Perhaps the most prominent posi-
bility after Judge Bartch is Presley
resisting the encroachments of the
weevil of politics and Office for twenty
five years, it looks as though he had
at last succumbed and was about to
become one of the radicals. He is
already reported as being very much in
Beaver so far as it is not going to
Judge Bartch. Mr.. Denny is one of
the oldest lawyers in the territory and
has practiced before all the courts. He
is ali Old-timer and would pull that
element. He is very popular among
the lawyers in this city and good
words are heard about him on every
side. 1t is not said that he would be
an ideal judge, but it is generally be-
lieved he would do as we'll as any of
his competitors, if not better.
Henry Adams Another.
1t is probable that the Republicans
Of Nephi and Juab county will unite
on Henry Adams as their favorite in
the race. He is not very we'll known
outside of his own county and was
rather unfortunate in being connected
with the last banner Republican legis-
lature in the capacity of sergeant-at-
arms Of the council He win be re-
menbered as the sleuth who led the
search for the Republican members
who had fed to unknown places and
who, after a long and tiresome search,
reported that he had gone to all the
saloons, gambling houses and other
likely resorts and had not found the
men for whom he was seeking. He
was also the man who brought in the
elephantine Orange Seeley, of Emery
county, the next day; or, to be more
exact, who was brought in on Seeleys
back. He is well known in Juab
county, however, as he has been cleo
ted county attorney there and has
made a, very good record in prosecut-
ing several very heavy criminal cases.
He is one of the most deceptive men
in the world. He stands about feet,
, inches. and bends over like
an unsupported sapling. He has,
too, one of the most distressing
coughs. In fact he looks
as though he had one foot and part
of another in the grave. But the man
who tackles him will find he has a
great deal of strength in his sinewy
frame, and that he is good for a great
many years of hard work. He is very
popular among the Republicans of
his own county and it looks as though
he would be able to pull everything
there.
