Mr.. Burt is admitted by all but the
most pronounced ''yaller-doS Republ:-
cans to be splendid choice. He Is not
only eminently qualified for the reSpon-
sibie position of State senator, but counts
numerous friends in every nook and
Granny of the county. There are few
men in the county but who know him,
and all who know him like him, Repuoll-
cans as well as Democrats. The Demo-
Gratis could not have made better
choice. Mr.. Burt will not only poll MS
are so dissatisfied with the choice of
their party that they openly declared
they VIII vote for the DEMOCRATIC nom
inee. Mr.. Burt viii have little difficulty
in rolling up a sufficient majority in his
own county to overcome last years Re
publican majority in Tooele, which con-
sisted of only about sixty or seventy
votes. 'Rah for our little modern David
who viii find it child's play to hoor the
Republican Goliath
AS time grows apace, more and more
d:SSa tisfaction and rumbleS of dlscontent
are seen and heard IN the badly S1lit-up
Republican army of this county. The
way the Box Elder man (Hansen) was
turned down in their senatorial conven-
ton last week is an especial bitter pill
to numerous voters. In the convention,
only three out of the eighteen of the
Box Elder delegates were for Zundel. But
Rich and Coombs thought bishop would
be a great drawing card on their ticket,
so they turned their backs on the Box
Elder delegates, slyly won over the en-
tire Tooele delegation of fourteen, and
slipped in their man by the measly ma
ior!ty of one Only one other Box Elder
delegate went with Coombs and Rich.
But already they are seeing and regret
ting their grand blunder. They find
big wing of their party doesn't take
kindly to bishops. This wing is growing
larger. too, as the days roll by. There
is a chance of its losing them between
so and 100 Republican votes in Box Elder
county alone. and the thought of this
disastrous result among. the mining
camps in Tooele, is enough to take the
very starch out of the backs of these
short-sighted politicians
The inglorious defeat of Hansen has
also caused some discomfort among the
Scandinavian element. 1 have heard
many of them bluntly repudiate the
nomination of Zundell The bishop seems
doomed to an overwhelming defeat next
November.
