POLITICS IN WEBER
A Perfect Landslide Conceded for
the Whole Democratic Ticket.

Perfect Landslide Conceded for
the Whole Democratic Ticket.
Politics is the principal topic of con-
versation in Ogden. On the street, at
the club, in the hotel corridor, among
both business and professional men it
is the all absorbing subject.
Weber has heretofore been rated
Republican stronghold, but change
has come over the spirit of the voters
dreams and the most sanguine of the
g. O. o. adherents concede landslide
both for the presidential and local can
didates on the Democratic ticket
The great majority of the silver Re-
putdicans who have announced them
selves for Bryan and SeWau nave also
announced their intention OF supporting
the friends of silver from A to u, ana
Weber county will roll up a majority
for Democracy which will make her the
banner Democratic county.
one year ago the prospects for Demo-
cratic success in Weber were dIscour-
aging TO the most optimistic members
of the party and the nominees OF the
county convention went forth as lambs
TO the slaughter, fully realizing that
defeat awaited them at the polls IN NO
vemher.
A hard fight was made, nevertheless,
and the victims OF nominations at last
years convention will if they desire
to lead again this year, be REWARDED
by their constituents.
The air is laden with candidates for
nominations fer county offices on tne
Democratic ticket, while the logical can
didates of the s. o. p. are skulklng IN
their camp and looking for victims to
accept empty hOnorS.
One of the great factors OF Demo
cratic success will be the woman's vote.
The ladies seem TO have fuller reallza-
ton than the men, that the restoration
of good times depends upon the restora-
ton of the white metal ana IS a conSe-
.luence they are rai k~Ay organizing
Bryan clubs and preparing for not
campaign One woman, prominent IN
political circles, made a house 10 house
canvass during the past week and out
of 152 families visited found $50 for
Bryan and Sewall.
An important factor, both in the
county and state vote, is the large num-
Der OF voters working on the power
dam Some of the promoters of this en-
terprise, it is said, are strong support
! ers of Mckinley, and as such large
number of men voting as a unit might
affect the whole face of the situation.
Considerable apprehension is felt by
some who think the rumor may nave
some foundation. 1t is also said, how
/ ever, that the vote will not be used IN
/ local affairs at all, but an attempt Will
be made to cast it as a unit for NC
Kinley electors
+ The party organization will be most
ably attended TO by Mr. Poneter and
: Mrs. Z. H. Nye, a combination that Will
4 be hard to beat.
The Bryan club is growing in mem
bership every day. No arguments are
! necessary to secure signers, and 1T is
/ estimated that before. election two
thirds of Ogden will be enrolled as
members.
New candidates for county offices are
springing up every day and as the nom
nation is generally conceded to mean
election, the canvassing is becoming
spirited.
The Office of county attorney is most
sought after, and so far six are in the
field.
A. j. Webber, the veteran office
holder and present incumbent, is max
ing a strong stand for denomination.
J. S. Peery, who was sacrificed in the
hopeless legislative fight OF last year,
stands a good chance of being rewarded
with the nomination.
The other candidates are: A. G.
Horne, T. Is. Johnson, Valentine
Gideon and v. L. p. Peyton.
For the recordership there are but
two candidates spoken of prominently
the present. incumbent, John G. Tyler,
and Z. H. Nye. Both have a strong fol-
lowing and merry time is predicted
for their supporters in the convention.
For Sheriff-The present possessor OF
the key to the county jail, Heber
Wright, likes his job and is willing to
serve the people another term, but
rumor has it that Sheriff Belnap,
whom he succeeded, viii give him a
merry chase.
FOR county clerk there are many
aspirants and of all grades. The pres
ent victim of the peoples wishes, j.
P. Ledwidge will accept a second
nomination, while his popular first
lieutenant, W. n. Hansen, is credited
with coveting the position. Newton
Farr and r. T. Harris will not refuse
the nomination if rendered them.
NJ. F. Brown, the present assessor
has proved so satisfactory to the PEG
pie that at the present writing he is
the only candidate.
The Offices of both the collector and
the treasurer are open to good appii-
cants.
The present county selectmen Gre
publicans) will be voted out of office
A number OF their would-be success
sors are already in the field.
The Mckinley club organized Satur-
day night at the Reed hotel proposes
making a hard fight for their favor
tie. The several committees will meet
again this evening for consultation as
TO the best means of conducting the
campaign.
