will add much impetus to the move
ment to nominate United States sena-
tors at the Ogden convention. 1t has
been in this county that the principal
opposition to the movement was to be
found. All through the country there
was d strong sentiment in favor Of
such action. 1t was rather disorgan-
lied, however. in the face of antici-
pated opposition from this city.
Now, however, it is anticipated that
the disorganized sentiment will be
come amalgamated. Already Davis
county has added its q to Salt Lakes
157. Several primaries in Utah county
have taken action in favor of the nom
!nation, and it is anticipated that be-
fore the convention more than ma
jority of the SO delegates there will be
working along that line, Leaders in
Cache county send assurances of solid
delegations from Cache, Box Elder and
Rich. The ! from Washington county
Will undoubtedly be of the same mind.
Indications are that even the rock
bound delegation from Weber will
split on the question. A majority Of the
delegations are expected from Sanpete,
Summit and Juab. These alone would
give more than the necessary 326.
That the nominees will be Rawlins
and Thatcher is now almost beyond
doubt. In regard to the former there
is certainty. He has swept everything
but Weber so far. In Salt Lake, even
without instructions, he took an over
whelming majority of the delega ton to
5 the state convention. No opposition
of any considerable nature has devel-
oped against him. With the latter it
is slightly more probiematical It is
understood that in case nominations
are made, c. c. Richards, w. H. King
and others viii be presented to the
convention.
No Opposition From Thurman.
There will be no opposition to Mr..
Thatcher, however, from Samuel r.
Thurman, of Provo. That was all ar
ranged at conference held in this city
Oh Saturday night. There had been
health would unfit him for en-
tering the race this fall and Mr.
Thatcher himself was somewhat doubt
fui on that score. Had he not been
a candidate for the senate, then OIr
: Thurman would have entered the race
Nor Mr.. Rawlins' running mate. How
ever, he was perfectly willing to give
his most earnest support to Mr.
Thatcher if the latter would consent
70 allow his name to be used.
During the greater part of the last
summer Mr.. Thatcher has been hay
ing a season Of perfect repose at his
camp in Logan canyon, where ne has
gained a great deal of strength. Be
cause Of that he now feels able to en-
ter the race, and so stated on Satur-
. day night before instructions were
given to the Salt Lake delegates The
leaders Of the movement were wait
ing to hear from the conference before
they took any action. and Judge Pow
ers' statement that Mr.. Thatcher had
consented TO run was based on the in
formation that was given him about
S:15 that evening.
Thurman For Supreme Justice.
AS another result of that conference.
Samuel r. Thurman is now a candi-
date for one of the three justiceships
Of the state supreme court This will
be good news to hosts Of his friends
who have been long urging him to ac-
cept some judicial position. For a
long time it was thought he would &C
cept the nomination for the district
bench in Utah, Uintah and Wasatch
counties, as the district is safely Dem
ocratic However, that reward will
now go TO another. It is possible that
W. II. King may be prevailed upon to
take the position
OF Mr.. Thurman's nomination there
is not much room for doubt. He is
a very popular man among the Demo-
Gratis Of Utah county and the south
ern part of the territory. His person.
al popularity would more than offset
that of Judge Bartch. Besides that he
is q man of excellent Judgment, good
legal attachments and judicial mind.
He is we'll known all over the terri
tory, his leadership of the Democratic
minority in the constitutional conven-
ton having brought him well to the
front.
a Strong Ticket.
The esteemed Tribune calls the
Democratic county ticket weak.
The wish is father to the
thought. A ticket must be la
mentally weak in order To be worse
than the legislative ticket of the Re
publicans Outside Of George Suther-
land and T. B. Critchlow there are no
very strong men on it. Most OF the
candidates are unknowns whom even
the Republicans do not know. As to
the Democratic ticket, however, there
is no such objection.
Farley L. Williams is just the sort
of member that is needed in the COM
ing legislature. New laws, to conform
"a the constitution must be made. IN
less there is a trained legal mind in
the legislature, the statutes will be a
mass of errors. antiquities and con-
tradictions that will involve endless
litigation for the people of the terri
tory. Mr.. Williams is member of the
present legislature. In ability he stood
head and shoulders above any Repub-
lican in the council. He stands head
and shoulders above any man on the
Republican senate ticket, for the lead
er of it is merely his Junior partner
young and inexperienced, though pos
sessing many qualifications that would
fit him for a legislator.
