/ His sermon was a repetition of his
success at Silver City, and it is con-

the Democratic state and legislative
! tickets by ii. Mammoth has a voting
population of about 400.
Here are located the Mammoth,
Sioux, Ajax. Utah and North Star
mines, which have, with others. poured
millions of dollars into the lap of the
nation. So intense is the silver feeling
there that l was told that a Mckinley
man was unknown there. The miners
and mill attaches have each contribu-
ted days pay to the Bimetallic
league fund.
ENTHUSIASTIC EUREKAITES.
In the evening. at Eureka. Judge
Powers delivered another sermon. Odd
Fellows hall was unable to hold the
people who desired admittance, and
more enthusiastic audience has rarely
been gathered between four walls OF a
building in Utah. The Judge spoke for
two hours. Most Of his speech was
devoted to impressing upon his hearers
the necessity for them, if they desired
to see the absolute triumph of the sill
Yer cause, to vote for men who would
see to it that a silver senator was re-
turned from Utah.
JUAB A BRYAN COUNTY.
Colonel Nick Robertson. chairman of
the Democratic central committee, es-
Inmates the voting population of Eu-
reka to be 1,150. He will not concede
the McKinleyites ten votes in the
camp. Prior to the nomination of Bry-
an, Robertson was a Republican. His
father was r. S. Robertson, at one
time lieutenant governor of Indiana,
L.
of the Utah commission. Mr.. Robert
son estimates the total vote of Juab
county at about 300, giving Nephi
l,l5O, Mona 225, Levan 250, Juab 175,
Fish Springs 20 and Detroit y, and is
confident, with possibly two exceptions,
of carrying the Democratic banner to
success from Bryan down by about $50
majority. Juab county has heretofore
always been Republican by from 225
to 500 majority.
WHERE THE M'KINLEYITES ARE.
On the east side of the Tintic range
lies the agricultural and sheep section
of Juab county. There George c.
Whitmore of Nephi. the chairman of
the executive committee of the county
committee, is in full charge of the
campaign. There, 1 am told, the Nc
Kinleyites will probably poll about 65O
votes out of 900 or so.
COUNTY AND STATE TICKETS
WINNERS.
I also talked with Fred Nelson, chair
man of the Republican county central
committee. He, like Candidate Hol-
brook, occupies an anomalous position.
He is out for Bryan and is a member
of the Independent Republican eXecu-
tive committee Under the circum-
a ha nj 1oar
for him to resign and will do so. He
also believes that heavy Bryan ma
jority will be polled in Juab county,
and that the entire Democratic ticket
viii be elected, with possibly three
exceptions. When asked on what he
based his assertion, he said: Many
voters say that if the head of the
ticket is good enough to vote for, the
whole ticket will be good enough for
them
CALLISTER'S BRYAN BUTTON.
Juab county is a representative dis
trict by itself, and with Millard county
comprises the Eighth senatorial dis
trict AT the recent Republican county
convention 7. C. Callister of Nephi was
nominated for the senate 1t is alleged
by Colonel Nick Robertson. who quotes
Del" Cazier as his authority, that
when Callister entered the convention
hall he wore on the lapel of his coat
a Bryan button. According to the
story, when Cazier saw the button, he
insisted that Callister take it off, be-
cause lit had no business in q Repub-
lican convention" Callister did SO,
but the act did not save him from
having his Republicanism challenged
and from having a hard struggle to Sc
cure the political plum. T. c. Hanfore1
of the Eureka Miner. it seems, was
Callister's manager From Eureka he
went to the convention with his dele
cation in his vest pocket. He made the
trades which resulted in victory, and
of course he was very indignant be-
cause Callister's Republicanism had
been challenged. After the convention
he accosted CaZier and the following !
colloquy ensued:
Mr. Cazier you have no right" said |
Hanford. ito question Callister's Re-
publicanism.'
4 have the right replied Cazier,
'to question any mans Republicanism /
who wears a BRYAN badgei"
The story reached Eureka only a few |
days ago. and now Hanford is kept |
busy explaining. He admits that there |
was ruction over the badge, but de- /
MES that Callister courted the McKin-
leyites. Il know he said in my hear
ing. that Callister had that badge on |
when he went into the convention, but
] do not know whether or not he had /
it on when he came out"
No" said an indignant Eurekaite. I
who declares Hanford has betrayed The (
camp, he went in with a button and /
came out with the nomination."
1t is now a momentous question in
Eureka. If it is true that Callister
the badge he is a gone gos-
ling. Poor Hanford is kept busy ex-
planning, and notwithstanding his spe-
cious pleas, his indignant henchmeu
are determined to place the brand of
Judas upon him.
When go to Nephi shall inquire of
Callister what he did with that but
ton.
