worst scratched men on the whole
ticket and would run away behind.

But from up in the precincts of the
Junction city comes words that are
refreshing. It is said that NJ. A.
Breeder of Ogden is one of the candi-
dates from the north. Mr.. Breeder is
one of the curiositieS of Utah poll
tics. He has generally managed to
get on at least three sides of every
question that has penetrated the
sacred precincts of Ogden dur
ing the last ten years. When the
division movement struck the town he
managed to get ON all sides of that
and his historical attitude in the last
legislature on the mortgage question
will long be remembered. In the cam
paign he was one of the most enthuSi-
astic advocates of the taxation of
mortgages. When he came to this city
he rushed into print and said he was
against taxing mortgages. Later on
vor of taxation.
This is an illustration of his political
career. He seems to be almost devoid
of sound, clear judgment on a matter
and shifts around like an agitated
weather vane in Chicago with a, wind
blowing from four different directions
at the same time. His record as pres
ldent of the last legislative council is
hardly one that will recommend him
Utah voters. In fact. any sort of posi-
tion on the Republican side should be
sufficient to blast a man forever in
the politics Of the coming state, and
the blow should fall with treble force
on one who was placed in such a re-
sponsible position as that occupied by
Mr.. Breeder. 1t is not intended to in
sinuate that he was as bad as John
Henry or the immortal D. J. Chad
wick; but then man could be pretty
poor presiding officer without reaching
their level.
Another candidate from the Junction
City has made his appearance IN the
person of A. r. Haywood, who is men
toned as the one who will give Bree-
den the hardest fight for the support
from Weber county. Haywood, how
ever, has not earned the utmost affec-
ton OF that discriminating individual
Buffalo Bill Glassmann and he has re-
ceived some very severe attacks from
the organ of the present Republican
machine. AS far as decisiveness is
concerned Haywood would probably do
better than Breeder and some of the
judges who have been on the supreme
bench in the past.
Provo, as yet, is not making much
of a showing ON the supreme candi-
dates. 1t appears that the Republican
party is woefully lacking in judicial
timber in that neck OF the woods. AS
yet there has been no decided desire
among the lawyers to enter the race
for the district judgeShip and the
only supreme candidate who has SO
far made any showing is John e. Booth
and he would be sWamped in his own
county. Within late years Booth seems
to be going down. There was a time
Provo and was much respected for his
Judgment. However, in THE last legis-
lature he developed into an extremely
partisan Republican, willing to go to
any lengths with that party, and since
that time he has been getting more
and more partisan, Until now he is
probably one of the blacklist Republi-
cans i'm the territory, narrow and rum
ming in a groove. Not even the pro-
thest to reconciliation of silver could
shake his allegiance to his party. Tt
could sell itself body and soul to the
goidS,leS and he would still be with
it Warped thus, his following among
the Independent set has gradually
dropped away until now he is left with
back. Utah is yet too young in practi-
cal politics for them to cut much of a
figure.
Contrary to expectation ''the liberia
tor" did not come in with Senator Gull
lom yesterday. The report that he was
to arrive had been an error It APP
pears now that he will not be able to
leave San Francisco before Saturday
next, as on that day there will be an
o1,lf
Valley railroad people on terminal
facilities and he must wait for that
But he will set out as soon as that is
over and the anxious politicians will
soon be gladdened by the presence of
his sunshine. He has kept in full
touch with the political situation here
all the time. though, and has long ago
been notified of the full details Of his
remarkable victory over the combined
opposition of the different factions in
the Republican League convention.
BY the way, the report of the nego-
5Tations on between the colonel ami
Fred Leonard caused a sensation in
political circles yesterday. The infor-
nation had been made known only IN
I select few and they had been told to
guard 1T with the most excellent care.
Inquiries were thick as to how the i'm
,ornlatiOn had leaked out. Informl9-
ion coming from near friend of
-eonard's. however, puts the truth of
he report almost beyond question.
Another sensation was caused by The
derald's announcement of the proba-
oilfty that women would be given the
power to vote this fall The general
'un of politicians had not been fig1lr-
ng on such possibility. They be-
ieved the constitutional convention,
lad fully settled the question and that
t could not come up again. Now all
'lans are likely to be upset by the
lew order of things and the workers |
want light on the subject
AS the strength Of a building de-
bends upon the solidity Of its FONDA |

lition OF the blood. To expeI impu1-i
