Mrs. Electa Bullock being present,
joined the club and announced herself as
being a Democrat through and through.
Mrs. Bullock is an addition to the party
that they may well be proud of. She is
a highly intelligent and cultured lady Of
great influence and an untiring worker
for that which she thinks is right. And
Democracy, she says, is right.
The club was invited to send one mem
Der as a speaker to the county conven-
ton, to be held on the 10th, and Miss
May Belle Thurman was selected to do
that duty.
Alice Petersen, of Pleasant Grove who
in 1922 sued her husband, Christian Peter
sen. for divorce and was refused the de-
cree by Judge Blackburn, has again COM
mence divorce proceedings against her
husband She alleges desertion and fail
ure 10 support, and accuses him of hav-
ing committed incest with his 13-year-old
daughter. Petersen is wealthy and while
his wife lived with him 81 claimed he
supplied her with only bread and milk
and that only once a day.
George Hinton, of Nernal, who was re-
leased from the Utah county Jail on ha-
5eas corpus proceedinsgs before Judge
King, at Provo, in October last, has now
planted suit in the First district court for
$3.50 damages and cost of suit against

The Democratic drum corps meets for
reorganization on Monday evening next.
The club is composed Of young men who
are devoted to Democracy and who are
always IN the lead during campaign work
The Democratic county central COM
mittee or this county has issued a call
Tor convention to be held in this city
August I'D for the purpose of electing a
county chairman, secretary and treas
urer for the ensuing year and for the
purpose of completing the county organ
t&auOn preparatory TO the coming cam
paign- Five hundred delegates will be
present and leading Democrats, both
ladies' and gentlemen, from Salt Lake
pected. The calling of this convention
has started political gossip and the dis
cussion of candidates. Hon. 5. K. Thur
man is strongly mentioned Tor the sIl-
preme bench and everything now points
TO his nomination, for all the members
Of the bar and party recognize him as
good lawyer and feel that he would make
d good judge, and it is said that he will
accept the position. Hon. ID. -. HoutZ is
talked of for the district bench in con-
nectiOn with other members of the bar
but no definite action has been taken. A
number of the southern county papers
have been mentioning Sam King for Judge
OIL inc II llAl OlSiilCls Out we are CleuiDiY
informed that all of this talk is without
his consent and against his wishes. In
conversation with a friend a. few days
ago, he was heard to remark that he
had no judicials aspirations, and under no
circumstances would he stand for a DO
Sition of this kind, and that his business
associations were pleasant here and he
would not return to his old home at Fill
more.
There is very little talk about senators
at present, but the feeling seems to be
growing daily in favor of Judge Hender-
son, for the Democrats of this county
remember his good work in the past.
Since The Herald mentioned a few days
ago Judge King for representative his
cause has been growing daily. In fact,
he is the only candidate mentioned in this
county, and Cache and Weber; as vel. as
Salt Lake, seem very favorable TO him,
TO say nothing about his strength in the
outlying counties.
The Republicans as usual are beginning
TO claim everything, following the inStruc-
lions given by Chairman Crane last year.
They are undoubtedly doing this to divert
attention from their continual strifes and
chickering's. You can see, however, on
their faces 2, feeling of sadness and long
ing-sadness at Judge Goodwin's "cIean
campaign" and a longing for Colonel
Trumbo's barrel that so far has only
found an opening into the pockets of one
or two "heelerS' who are not dictated by
Chairman Graham. Mayor Holbrook, G.
f. Loose and Reed Smoot are keeping
their own counsel but silently watching
I-esults-aS we'll as George M. Cannon.
Judge J. d. Jones says, by his actions,
that If the Republicans will let him have
charge of the cxchequer of the new state
he will be satisfied. And so goes the
talk.
