Politics VERY LIVELY IN THE
SOUTH COUNTRY.
Five Anxious Republicans to Every
Office in SiGht-Booth's Legis-
Iative Record is Much Against
Htm-uore Foreigners Take the
Oath.

PROVO, Sept. 23.-Consi6erable talk is
going on just now as to who will be the
nominees for the Srst state legislature,
from Utah county, J. z. Booth, c. Z.
Looce, Reed Smoot and Dan Jones are
out for the nomination on the Republican
ticket; in fact there are five seekers after
the nomination where there is a, place for
but one. The office viii not go a beg
ging'' if the Republican Office seekers
have their way, but the people will as
sert their rights and send just who they
want. Republicans and Democrats alike
are free TO state that if NJ. N. Warner is
nominated he viii certainly be elected.
Mr.. Warner is a Staunch Democrat; he
would poll solid Democratic vote and
pull heavily from the enemy's ranks. Mr.
Warner is the only one among the Demo-
Gratis who is mentioned for position on
the legislative ticket and it seems that all
are agreed that he isSso be one of the
members OF the next legislature. Mr..
Warner is q good lawyer and is well and
favorably known through Utah county
A man who could be depended upon to
look after the interests Of the masses. If
legislation is entrusted to such men as he
there will be no mistake made. Warner
is sure to be nominated and elected.
On the other hand if j. Il. Booth is
nominated on the Republican ticket he
can never be elected. The voters remem-
Der, too well, the attitude of that gentle
man on the bounty question in the last
legislature. He it was who would have
robbed our district schools in order to
pay a bounty, after finding there was no
means to be had for The purpose from any
other source. He has been explaining how
it was ever since and yet the people are
not satisfied.
It is reported that the fist fight which
occurred here the other evening wherein
Professor Davis, of the 3. Y academy
was so numerically pounded, will be
amicably settled between the parties.
Professor Davis friends are very positive
in asserting that the little girl was not
punished at all; that the professor mere
~ touched her on the cheek, to call her
the class. Mr.. knight will pay fine
and there the matter will rest.
