PARK CITY, Oct. 24.-The end Of the
week finds thH Democrats in Park
City thoroughly aroused and in fighting
order They have splendid quarters in
the Hirschman room on Main street. Not
only Democrats congregate there each
day, but many old-line Republicans
come in and express their determination
to vote for the straight Democratic
ticket. Many realize the importance
of backing up Bryan by a Democratic
congressman and United States sena-
f-r-
The Republicans are manifesting
very litsle enthusiasm. They have
headquarters in a dingy back room,
which is locked most of the time. Al
though there is no outward maniIesta-
ton of life. it is said they are going
around making a still hunt for the
county ticket The candidate for rep
resentative and the county attorney
are working in this way, and it is said
the candidate for sheriff is especially
active in telling the people of his fitness
for the Office.
The Democrats in the Park feel that
the prospect for the county ticket is
very bright. They were greatly disap-
pointed on account of King not being
able TO fill his appointments, but ap-
prove the course he has taken in going
east.
The women of Park City have not
vet taken a great interest in politics.
The Democracy has taken steps, how
ever, to enlist them and many have
volunteered to work in the cause of
Bryan and free silver.
The leaders of the party here feel
deeply the bereavement which has
come to one Of the most active workers,
Frank j. Mclaughlin. in the death Of
his son. Mr.. Mclaughlin is a member
If the county committee and candidate
for county treasurer.
Senator R. c. Chambers passed much
of the week in Wasatch county He
addressed splendid meetings at HeDer,
Charleston, Midway, Kamas and Coal
Vile. It is safe prediction that his
vote in Wasatch county will be as
large as last year. A report was circu-
lated throughout the county as the
truth that Chambers if elected, would
vote to have the county line changed
that the Ontario drain tunnel would be
in Summit county, thereby decreasing
the amount of taxable property in Wa
satch county. The falsity of the report
was shown UP at the meetings. 1t was
be changed except by a majority of the
voters. MIR. Chambers told the people
that he Was opposed to the proposition
and should vote against it, He preferred
to have the tunnel in Wasatch county
from self-iRterest, for one reason, since
the taxes are lower in Wasatch than in
Summit.
MIR. Hatch is making a special effort
to secure the votes of the women, but
the Democratic workers are proving
themselves gallant gentlemen and will
be able TO counterfeit the work done
to influence the women votes. A prom
inent Democrat from Wasatch county
said today that he had interviewed
many people of all parties, but had not
found a single supporter of Hatch.
Charles A. Calls, Democratic candi-
date for representative, and ]. Alma
Smith of Coalville addressed the miners
at the Ontario boarding house last
night. Mr.. Calls, who is himself
miner, has the sympathy and conf
dence of his co-laborers, who believe
him to be the man that would repre-
sent their interests in the legislature.

hers and ]. A Williams at Woodland
