r. Evans stands some chance of
winning. 1t is possible that neither Of
the two leading candidates will win on
the first ballot, and of course the con-
Mention then may be stampeded TO
anyone. preferably Judge Colborn. But
so far as the situation can be gauged
now it would appear that Mason and
Glendinning gre the fayorites. with
Vers little opportunity to choose be
tween them. The friends of each claim
a majority of the convention.
The lesser politicians are doing a
great deal of log-rolhng, making COM
binatiOnS in the various wards and
endeavoring TO pull the nominations
their way. Jack May mas almost
certainty Oh the treaSurerShip. but the
other offices will be captured only after
very warm fights. Almost every pre-
cinct in the city could furnish the
whole ticket with candidates, and ge-
ographical lines viii cut a large fig
ure.
There is a great deal of bad feeling
among the Republicans on account Of
the primaries. Sergeant Hoffman. of
the Twenty-frst ward, ar1 his club
are out for the scalps Of W. tever men
may be favored by the opposition
crowd The strongest feeling, however,
IS to be found in the Sixteenth ward
In that ward there was the bitter
fight between the Geddes gang and
the anti-Geddes club.
In the Sixteenth Geddes had two of
the judges and the two checkers,
aga nst one judge for the other side,
and then he beat only by 80 votes.
The contest was warm. Geddes, how
ever, would challenge every voter who
had an opposition ticket. The opposi-
ton tickets We're about twice as large
as his own. and therefore the voters
presented easy marks. He challenged
one man because he had scratched his
ticket last year, and another because
his wife had said he was a Democrat.
More than enough votes to change the
result were ruled out by the judges
pnd the Geddes ring was again on top.
Watch out for blood in the election.
TrumbO's independent Canvass.
Colonel Trumbo is about to play
trump card.
The Republican workers were great
ly frightened yesterday over the news
conveyed by The Herald that the
streak of sunshine from California was
likely to begin an independent canvass
for the senatorship, wholly free from
any arrangements that might be made
by The Republican state committee
ONertures will probably be made to
Trumbo to have him place himself I'M
der the guidance of the state commit
tee. But such Overtures Will be met
with a frost. Trumbo has too good a
remembrance of the recent attempt of
Cannon to hurt him with a suit for
$40 to put himself in a, position where
the Republican chairman could Job
him on the side"
Trumbo is here for the purpose of
winning the senatorShip. He intends
TO make a very warm fight for the
position. He has already seen that the
sole object of the present Republican
state committee is to boom Frank ].
Cannon, and that no other. senatorial
candidate will be given any opportu-
nifty whatever. He intends to exact
his pound of flesh. He viii not COM
promise unless the committee will treat
him as well as it is treating Frank
Cannon, and of course the committee
$ not prepared to make any such con-
cessiOn to the man from California.
If Trumbo does take the stump it
Will be a. great move. He viii bring
here one of the national Republican
Speakers, hire his own quartet and
ether accessories make out his own
Itinerary and proceed to give the peo-
pie a. practical illustration of how 10
has been greatly handicapped by the
report spread around that he is too
proud TO go outside of Salt Lake and
he realizes that he must get out.
If he does decide on such a course
look out for fun. Arthur Brown will
be absolutely forced to take the field.
He is still in Salt Lake. and
his face grows slonger as the
campaign grows shorter. His
fTrr J. -
such a fight as viii surprise the ma
tives. Then the Republican party of
Utah will be split int three pieces.
