trouble terminating at last in a libel
suit and a $1,000 fine.
/ 1t is proposed to adopt the Australian
! ballot in the primary elections for del
! egates to the Republican convention.
/ This is another suggestion which meets
the approval Of the Standard; in fact,
that paper suggested that plan a year
! ago and had it been adopted the oppo-
sitiOn would never have been heard of
! in the convention
1t looks very much as though it
would be a go this time-lthe Austria
Ian system-and it is money to mar
bleS that the man whom the plan is
intended to squelch will come out on
top by a very large majority. 1t is said
that the combine can even carry Salt
Lake county under this system.
So far as Weber county is concerned
the combine will have everything any
way, no matter how the delegates are
elected. and if Doodle is to cut a figure
in this election a fair example of the
! influence that it can exert will be the
result of the delegate election in Salt
Lake county. This latter suggestion
is advanced by a gentleman who is de-
cidedly Of the opinion that some prom
lnent Republican possibilities not only
have the Doodle but that they intend
to use it
There will be more than one man
from California take part in the Re
publican fight in Utah this fall. Two
or three have already arrived and have
been quietly looking over the field.
One in particular is a noted speaker
He has already been heard both in
Salt Lake and Ogden, and his ability
is quite generally acknowledged. He
has not preached politics as yet except
in a quiet way, but he is here for that
purpose and when the campaign opens
he will certainly be heard from.
Other men are 10 he invited from fhe
east and west, men Of prominence whom
every Republican will be pleased to
welcome, but they will come only on
one mans invitation, and he will en-
terrain them while here, and not even
the Tribune viii dare to say nay, be-
cause they might give offense to the
visitor and that would never do.
The Republican committee will meet
tomorrow but it will not be able to
change the present plan of campaign,
because that is irrevokably fixed in
such a way that it would not be
changed even if the committee desired
There is no wish on the part of any
Republican to prevent any able man
from taking part in the coming cam
paign in way that will be of great
benefit
Financial assistance will be as accept
able as the power of eloquence and
when it comes to combining the two,
as Colonel Isaac Trumbo will be fully
able to do, he will simply be irresist-
able. The colonel is able to contribute
and he has friends who are also able
to contribute good round sums. He
also has friends who have a national
reputation as speakers and he and
Colonel Clarkson can induce them to
come to Utah when no one else can.
Colonel Trumbo is a factor in this
fight and the Republicans realize it.
He will not represent Utah in the
United States Senate, but it will not be
because the Republican party would
not send him if it could. 1t will be
because the majority of the people
reject both him and the party at the
the polls. Very few Republicans in
this county who understand the situa-
ton viii deny the fact that the party
will be under Obligations to send
the colonel to the Senate if it can, and
most of them are familiar with the
condition of affairs here because Weber
county is to be the great battle ground
when the control of the legislature
will be decided.
