Geddes fell back to second, or third
place yesterday, although his chances
are very good still and there is but little
doubt of his being selected. He has fol-
lowing which can scarcely be overcome
and II two other good men can be found
he will pull through all right. Gamble is
being supported by the laboring men,
who want representation. The outs
are working for him. in order that the
ms may be given their walking pa
pers and something be done for those
who have thus far been compelled 20
stand at the door of the public crib.
There is only one thing which may
wreck the chances of Geddes or Gamble
and both have come to realize it. The
city viii get two members, but the coun-
leading candidate from the outside. He
will doubtless get there. There are three
candidates from the inside, Egan, Gam
BILE and Geddes. Egan may get the nomi-
ballot. Then Gamble and Geddes will
have the battle to fight and there's where
the fun is coming in. Both factions will
work assiduously to capture the county
ton viii be in to be sure.
The fight for sheriff has narrowed down
to Hardy and Joe Y. Smith, with the
Shields are not in the race at all. Condie
Will lead perhaps, on the first ballot, as
tar as the weaker ones are concerned,
but after that all will be over.
Bets were offered yesterday that
Scott Crismon would be nominated on the
hrst ballot. Farnsworth, however, is
not going to quit until he has made a
battle and he will have some strength,
too.
Raybould stock is rising, especially in
the Second where Bert lives. He is
laboring hard with those who viii have
a voice in the convention and will make
a good display of strength from start to
finish, if he should happen to be de-
feated. Shelly is combining his fight TO
no particular location. He is grating
all around the vicinity and elsewhere.
Mont Fisher, the present incumbent of
the auditors office, is apparently on the
underground, for his face and form are
seen nowhere on the street. Fred Leon
ard seems to have charge of his cam
paign and is doing all he can to work up
sentiment in favor of Fisher. This will
be the closest race of the convention
Al. Simondi, ex-councilman and Italian
consul to Utah, is a candidate for the
lower house of the legislature on the Sill
yer Republican ticket. Al. is hustling to
and fro and back again all the time and
n his pleasant way is developing con-
will not be a candidate for the legisla-
ture as announced. Her husband so
stated yesterday and to quote him, "he
is presumed to be in her confidence" more
than any one. The rumor that Mrs. A.
V. Taylor courted Legislative honors is
also a mistake. 1t is Mr." and not
Mrs A V. Taylor who wants a seat
this winter.
Colonel William Sells, who has filed
the office of justice of the peace in the
First precinct for TWO years, is again a
candidate-of course. But the colonel is
opponents for the position and does not
know where he will get off at. Up to
date Solomon Crown is not being fought
for the position of constable with very
in that office but some one will have TO
tell him about it ere he discovers 1t.
George Nye denies that he and White
more have anything in common and as
serts that he is running on his own
merits. Inasmuch as George resembles
his illustrious namesake; he of Ratchet
fame. his word will be taken in prefer
ence to the informant of The Herald who
gave the rumor circulation.
THE Republican candidate for con-
gress cannot be elected" declared a mem
Der of that party yesterday, because he
heard that charge responded Republi-
Fact was the reply. "why he is
Holbrook by himself.
John James thinks the statement in this
paper yesterday concerning the Inner
circle did him an injustice. He and his
friends claim he belongs to no Inner cir
Gle" nor outer circle for that matter;
well known to all. AS such his name will
go before the convention as a candidate
for the office of county clerk and that too
without the support of any clique or
20 10 hoc no T1o
nor put up any states, not even in his
own precinct, where he is getting the
unanimous support of the delegates. If
he is defeated he viii continue to be a
Republican still.
The labor unions VIII support J. S.
Daveler for the senate and NJ. L. Perry
for the house
Ed Loose, candidate for the legislature
On the Republican ticket, yesterday sent
IN his resignation to the county commit
tee. at Provo. He gave as his reasons
for retiring that he mas no political as
pirations and no time to give to politics.

and county expenses and contribute to-
wards defrayng the campaign expenses.
The county committee met during the
lay, accepted the resignation and selected

Miss Sarah Breton, all of Provo.
The Democrats of the Second precinct
were out in force at the county head
quarters last evening TO hear Hon. ]. r.
Setcher explain the mysteries of the Aus
-ralian ballot system. Great interest was
rfr in mr. Ml~ I atnl1a &c
winning laurels as a school teacher" He
will speak for the benefit of the Demo-
Gratis of the Third municipal ward on
Monday evening at $50 O'Clock.
The registration list of the Third cleo
ion precinct has been placed at 704 Sew
enth south street, in Warburton's grocery
store, where voters can call and see if
hey are on the list.
There is going to be very lively time
1t the meeting of the Republican state
committee today. H. J. McCallum is con-
WIZ do, and fears that he will usurp
powers which Harry asserts do not belong
% him, as for instance, the filling of
vacancies on the committee with his
he election. Harry is satisfied that he
,an be elected if your Uncle John will
ct him, but just keep an eye on your
Uncle John.
Jim Bolitho, Republican candidate for
he legislature down in Sewer, was recent
V requested to have his name placed upon
he Independent Republican ticket. And
i'm didn't do a thing but give the indie

The knives are being sharpened down in

The Independent Republican state ticket
ogether with the required petition of 500
ignatures was filed with Secretary of

J. @. McAllister saws there is absolutely
