Should all of these changes occur the
result would be as follows: Thatcher,

/ are too many uncertain votes, however,
to permit predictions on any future
ballot.
Should more than one ballot be taken
in joint assembly today, significant
losses might ensue, but as no candidate
is able to foresee how he would fare,
II is likely that they will unanimously
oppose any proposition to ballot more
than once.
The Populist vote will continue to
go to Lawrence for an indefinite num-
Der of ballots. This statement is made
on the authority of one of the Popu
list members, who seemed to entertain
faint hopes that the warning Demo-

compromise on the Populist candidate.

Against the Trusts.

St. Paul, Jan. 19.-The most import
ant bill of this session of the Legislature
was that introduced today by Senator
Sheehan aimed at the trusts. The
measure declares every form of agree
ment, combine, trust, contract or ar
rangement calculated to lessen comDe-
tition in mercantile trade or manu-
featuring shall be declared unlawful
and void. Minnesota corporations en-
tering into combinations of this kind
shall forfeit their charter and foreign
corporations entering into such COM
binations shall be excluded from the
state. Managers of trusts are subject
10 fines of not less than $100 nor more
than $1,000, or imprisonment in the
state prison from one to five years, in
the discretion of the court. The bill
makes it the duty of the attorney-gen-
eral to enforce the law, and district
judges are required to specially in
struct grand juries as to its provisions.
Live stock and agricultural products
in the hands OF the producer are ex-
cepted from the provisions of the bill

law any person or firm damaged in

ocrats again made it possible for the
Populists to elect a member of their
party to the senate. Three ballots

J. W. Ballantine Pop) of Blaine

Tonight it is the general opinion that
J. w BaIantine will come very near
to an election tomorrow, and many
believe he will succeed. The Populists
will vote for him solidly tomorrow and
it is expected by his friends that
enough Democrats win join them to
elect him. It is stated that several
Democrats have signed an agreement
to vote with the POpulists from this
on. no matter whom they present. and
the Populists think this agreement
will have a magnetic effect and draw
scared. They have dallied along until
they have reached a critical point, and
they realize that they must elect some
one soon or go down to ignomlnlouS
defeat. This feeling tends to enhance
Ballantine's chances tomorrow
1t is learned that the Dubois men,
with the assistance of Secretary Walsh
of the Democratic national committee,
have an entering wedge in the Demo-
cratic ranks, and that enough Demo-
Gratis have agreed to support Dubois
the last of this week. if there be no
election before that time, to give him
within four or five votes of an election.

day to urge that a day be set for the
consideration of public building bills
did not include Salt Lake City in the
list. There were two patches of bills
reported by the committee on public
buildings and grounds three weeks ago.
Twenty-three bills were in the first
batch, but Salt Lake City was in the
second list reported. The committee
which appeared before Speaker Reed
today asked consideration only for the
first list of %. Mr.. Reed, as speaker
of the house, is not only an autocrat
in that body, but ne absolutely con-
trolls the rules committee which shapes
the order of legislation in the house of
representatives. He stated very plainly
today that, inaSmuch as there was now
a deficit of SOS, 900 900 incurred during
the past year. he did not consider it
wise to press any public building bills
at this session. This settles the matter
for this term of congress at least. Even
if he should finally agree to allow one
day for the consideration of public
building bills Salt Lake would not be
reached, as it is not included in the
first batch reported to the house. Mr.
Reed will be speaker of the next con-
gress and will probably pursue the
same policy. The prospects foR-a new

therefore, be considered very remote.

Mr.. Kimball of Logan then nomi-
mated Judge Henderson. He presented
the merits of his candidate with earn
estness and force, but the applause
ELECTED was much less vociferous than
that given the other candidates. He
had to perform, he said a very sad
and solemn duty. This legislature had
reached the point when every mem
Der was called upon to place himself
upon record, and he was under the
necessity of choosing between near and
dear friends. Yet the interests of the
state, the nation and the party were
of more Importance than friendship.
His candidate was one of the first 10
lead out in the division on party lines,
thus establishing harmonious condi-
tions- AT critical period in the party
division movement Judge Henderson
had been sent as delegate by the
regular Democrats, to the national con-
Vention al Chicago. Henderson had
been unanimously selected to represent
the Democrats before the committee
appointed to determine the dispute be-
tween the regular Democrats and the
TuScaroraS. At that time there seemed
no chance of recognition, but Hender-
son took the floor and carried the day,
thus securing for the Democratic party
of Utah its first recognition from the
national party. In speaking. of his can
didate's silver sentiments, Mr.. kimball
declared silver had no truer friend in

as a man who had grown up with the
