The most interest in political circles
just now is centred in the legal bat
tie in Ogden today. Both party ma
chimes are waiting expectantly for GER
tainty in order that they may know
how to proceed. If women vote it will
be necessary TO conduct a very much
different campaign from that which
will be necessary if they are not per-
Znitted to do Sc. The legal battle in
Ogden viii be one highly interesting.
For the women there wit be a heavy
array Of counsel, among whom will be
Judge Sutherland Judge Henderson,
Judge Judd, Ogden Hiles and H. H
Henderson. Had Mr.. Rawlins been
here when the case came up he would
probably have been one of the attor-
neys on that side,
While there was plenty OF counsel
for the women's side of the question,
1t was somewhat difficult to find many
men who wanted to take the other
side. However, it has been agreed af-
tor consultation that c. S Varian and
Farley L. Williams will offer them
selves, and il is possible that their
ranks will be swollen by the addition
Of Arthur Brown. These three law
yerS have taken the opposition from
OF the case with vigor.
Interesting correspondence.
The whole registration matter will
rest on the decision of Judge Smith. It
viii be impossible to obtain adjudica-
ton of the question by the supreme
court in time fer the registration to be
affected. In connection with the case
the following correspondence is Of in
terest:
OC.O1.N Aro g 1Va7
jan T. Came Esq. Chairman Demo-
cratic Committee.
Dear Sir: Mrs. Sarah E. Anderson ap-
piled to me today to be registered and l
refused to register her on the ground
that she was d female and not erlitled to
vote. Today l was served with an al
tentative writ of mandate returnable on
Friday next at 10 o'clock, Aug. g. 1885. DO
you desire to defend me in my action?
II 50 YOU can do the same at your own
expense. Please let me hear from you
once 10y return mail.
c. d. TYREE Deputy Registrar.
SALT LAKE, Aug. Z, 1893.
Z. D. Tyrec, Deputy Registrar, Ogden,
Dear Sir: Your letter of the 9Th inst.
has been received and duly considered.
IN regard TO your suggestion that if | de-
sire TO defend you in any action which
may be brought against you in conse-
quence Of your refusal to register Mrs
Sarah r. Anderson, can have the priv
liege of doing SO at my own expense l
Deg leave 10 say that l have no such de-
Iege. Benevlng as | do that women have
the right to vote at the ensuing election
my sympathies are all with Mrs Ander-
son and consequently against the posi-
Ticn you have assumed. Very respectful
~. JOHN Z. GAME, Chairman
Harry Dukes Methods.
Despite his statements that he did
not intend 70 enter the campaign for
the mayoralty, Harry Duke seems TO
De making quite stagger in that di-
Iection. 1t is said on good authority
that his best scheme is to approach
those who are holding offices under
the city government and assure them
that he has no designs on their peace
of mind. but intends to keep them in
Office II they will aid him in securing
the Office The O-queer club is depend
ed upon to give him strength The
Argus is said to be his organ and the
organ of the club, and the whole make
up of the active men in it are a guar
antee that they mean 10 stand by
Duke.
Tribune vs.. O-aueer Club.
And. by the way, it now looks as
though open warfare would soon break
out between the club and the Tribune
That paper has already started out in
this field just as it did in the Crane
fight. When it first went after Cranes
scalp il had some little editorial notes,
limiting that candidacy and chairman
ship were not proper When that had
no effect the hints became stronger
Then hints were dropped and open
statements resorted TO. The Tribune
has evidently received some light on
the designs Of the club. 1t has evil
IDENTIFY heard some of the wires that
are bUZzing and discovered the tracks
of the willy politicians who are laying
them. 1t should know by this time

built UP for no other purpose than to
down the Tribune in the city and
county. In fact. open expression of this (
purpose has recently been made The
first move OF the Tribune has been to
convey a delicate hint in an editorial
note reading as follows:
Opening Gun.
Republican clubs are good things; !
the regular party committees. which /
comprise the party organization prop
er, are also good things, but each of /
these good things is a separate good /
thing, and it would be well to keen /
them entirely separate. 1t this isn't 1
done, there is certain TO be confusion"
There is no doubt that this is just a
warning note, intended to scare those /
who are in the club into tractability.
When it is found that the club refuses
10 be bulldozed there is likely to be a
harder attack. This is expected by the I
CLUB and will be reciprocated by its /
organ Yet. in the face of these slum-
bering volcanoes of dissension, the
Republican papers in Utah have the
presumption to say their party is
united.
Democrats of Granger.
The Democratic society OF Granger
held a good meeting Wednesday even
ing, about fifty men and women being
present. President Porter, newly
elected was in the chair. JUDGE S,herrY
