POLITICAL.

"a most determined effort was made
yesterday to defeat the nomination of
A. R. Haywood, who is an avowed can
didate for nomination as a candidate
for supreme judge on the Republican
state ticket. Haywood, in times past,
has incurred the opposition of many
prominent men in his own party be-
cause of his candid way of expressing
his opinions of men and measures. He
is accused of being a triskster in pol
tiles, which, even though it is charged
against 6. Republican and trickery is
the main hold of that party as a rule,
yet in his case it is an unjust and I'M
fair criticism. Haywood is an honest
man and free and open in his dealings
with men, absolutely loyal to his
friends but unrelenting in the pursuit
of his political enemies.
About the worst that can be said of
him from a Democratic standpoint is
that he is a Republican and that is
sufficient for the political damnation of
any man.
At this writing it is not known who
is ahead of Haywood or his opponents,
but as they were not united on any
particular man, it is probable that
Haywood has won the day or gained
sufficient prestige to control the action
of the delegates from this county to
the state convention, and with that
he is pretty sure of the nomination. So
far as Crane was concerned, he seemed
to be lost sight of in the fight that
was being made against Haywood, but
the eX-chairman had friends guarding
his interests, and it is generally un-
derstood that the delegates to be
chosen today will be practically unan-
imous for him, and it is possible that
a resolution of instruction for Crane
may be passed unless it is thought
that it may complicate matters with
| local candidates for places on the
state ticket
Bishop seemed to have the advan-
tage in the race for the nomination
for district judge. although Murphy de-
veloped unexpected strength and is
now regarded as a very likely posi-
| bility in this contest. Patton has no
show except as a dark horse. and they
will be very unpopular this year.
Glasmann was in the fight yesterday,
but not openly for the purpose of doing
anything except to protect Cranes in
terests and this he did to perfection in
the outside districts. as they are re-
ported to be solid for the gentleman
from Kanosh and Salt Lake city.
Some say that Glasmann was at the
bottom Of the fight against Haywood,
while others say he was not All doubt
as to Glasmanns exact position was
! removed when the Standard appeared
last evening. 1t clearly Indicated that
the editor was I'D to his old tricks and
after the gang" as he designates the
| Haywood supporters.
Judge Miner cut quite a. figure in
the judicial scrap, or rather his strik-
ers fiourished around considerable. 1t
was claimed that two schemes were
worked in his favor: one was with the
known opponents of Haywood to get
their support on a combine to knock
out Haywood, and the other was that
of double shooting the turn by secur-
ing the nomination of himself and
| Haywood as supreme Judge candidates,
then Ogden and Weber county would
| practically have two representatives
! on the supreme bench.
AS politician Judge Miner is the
best worker who has been seeking a
! Republican state nomination Tt is said
| that Selectman Wade is his main
standby in this county. Mr.. Wade is
a good worker, but has lost consider
! able influence since he commenced to
build a court house which even his
Republican constituents don't want
