WHERE JOHN JAMES SCORED A
HIT.
Wales is in this country. 1t is not of
much Importance as voting precinct,
but It is the scene of q conical expert
ence John James of Salt Lake city had
during the campaign of education in
1892. James was travelling with glee
club and expected to take part in q
meeting TO be held in the town. Upon
arriving at the hail he found an audi
ence assembled, but not speaker in
sight. An old Welshman suggested
to James that he deliver a speech, and
he agreed to do so if a local speaker
opened the meeting. The old Welsh
man called upon Brother Jones, and ne
responded. Cold type will not repro
duce the pronunciation Brother Jones
INDUCED in, but his speech was short,
sweet and to the point. II am not
public speaker said Brother Jones,
but want TO say that in my opinion
Democracy is hypocrisy and Republic
canism is Mormonism." James ini-
mediately set his gIee club to work.
and after a song or two he delivered
an address which brought the precinct
of Wales into the Republican column.
Bre'r Jones gave him the keynote, and
the Cambrian soloist played the tune
for all it was worth.
LION HUNTER QUIGLEY.
This paragraph is a depression from
politics, and my only excuse for it is
that l want to inform the members OF
the Alta club of the whereabouts of c.
A. Quigley, manager of the Studebaker
company in Salt Lake city. He passed
through Manti yesterday, accompanied
by Oscar A. Hunter and his railroad
objective point was Richfield. He is
en- route to the Colorado river on lion
and bear hunting expedition, and to an
acquaintance Quigley declared that his
sole object in making his dangerous
trip was to secure enough trophies OF
the chase to decorate the reception room
of the club in true wild west fashion.
Billy Irvine, Joe Gallagher, Sam Mer-
rift and the rest of the young bloOds
of the club, said he. have jollied me
about hunting so much that ! at last

JUAB COUNTY FOR BRYAN.
1 visited Nephi today, and from the
political information I gathered there
came to the conclusion that the Juab
politicians in the Tintic district are

was told that there were many MeKin-
leyites on the east side, and that the
vote would approximate 1900. AT Nephi
l was told by a Mckinleyite, who is
known the state over as a shrewd poll
tician. that the vote would not, in that
section of the country, exceed 1900,
and that the vote for Mckinley would
be about 500. Granting that the min
ing camps of Tintic will give Bryan
majority of l500. the McKinieyite said
that a conservative estimate of Bryan
majority in Juab county would place
it at not less than $500 His estimate
was pronounced correct by an ex
chairman of the Democratic county
committee and by other citizens with
whom I conversed. The east side of
Juab county is sheep and agricul
tural country. The number of sheep
owned and ranged there is estimated at
100000 head. Last year the Republican
legislative majority was 225, and the
county has always gone Republican
since the division on party lines. AT
Nephi it is believed that the Republic
an legislative and county tickets will
pull through by small majority, but
those with whom I conversed admit
that they are not in touch with the sit
uation on the west side of the mount
aims.
CALLISTER'S BRYAN BADGE.
At Nephi I also learned that T. D.
Callister. the Republican nominee for
state senator for Juab and Willard
counties. did wear Bryan badge
when he went into the convention that
gave him the nomination, and that he
did not have it on when he walked out
of the convention. 1t was, 1 am told.
saudy badge 1t almost covered the
lapel of his coat. In letter from
Eureka l described the indignation
felt by the silver Republicans there be-
cause of Callister's action. as reported,
but not then verified, and it was in
order to prove or disprove the story
current that I made the pilgrimage
from Manti to Nephi. My informant,
the Mckinley man already referred to,
said: "Callister had the badge on, but
took it off. No demand was made
for its removal. and there were only
three Mckinley men in the conven-
ton. If there was any such talk as
Der Cazear claimed he made, did
not hear it"
Then why 1 asked, "did Cazear
relate such a story?"
"Oh," replied my McKinleyite, 81
guess Del was 'nutty' because he did
not get the nomination. You see, Han
ford of the Eureka Miner 'swelled'
Del up by saying that he ought to
have the nomination, but he didn't
pledge him his support"
why did Hanford do that?' I
queried.
.Hanford was playing a game in or
