UTAH'S MUNICIPAL CONTEST
PROVO AND sPRINGvILLE SAFE
FOR THE SILVER PARTY.
Mckinley Paper at Richfeld Bolts the
Republican Partisan
Ticket Changed at Brigham City.

Provo, Oct. 21.-Tonight the Repub-
lican committee, which is handling the
campaign for the non-partisans, holds
q meeting behind closed doors to dis
cuss the possibility of getting out of
the woods. 1t has turned out that the
non-partisan wave, which sprung up
with such pretentions and boasts Of
confidence, has hattened out in such a
manner as TO bring modification to the
forces, if the showing they now make
can be called a force.
Since the committee appointed by the
Democratic Ladies club have can
vassed the city they have learned that
the Democrats are solid, with the eN-
ception of a few who Numbered into
the non-partisan move upon its incip-
iency. These, however, are very in
different and show no enthusiasm in
the cause. About the only true fol-
lowers Of non partisanism here are the
Mckinley goldbug Republicans, whom
neither of the local parties care to have
Identified with them.
It now looks as though the election of
r. a Barney for mayor would be a
Walkover, the fight now being practi-
caIly between him and S. S. Jones, the
regular Republican nominee,
Democratic headquarters will be
opened at the beginning of next week,
when a vigorous campaign will begin
1t will be cold reception given to
the goldbug committee if they have the
nerve to make their house to house
canvass in the interest of non-parti-
sani6ln.
The committee is now in distress for
fear of the withdrawal OF several can
didafes

Maycock was eligible and would have
poIIed a good vote, but evidently didn'
care to take the chances OF almost Ger

he did not wish to run for office. In
fact, there seems to be very little anx-

face the canvass. A Democratic vic
tory is now regarded as a matter of
course.
