( N THE POLITICAL arena. ::
-c&Gc<>@ ocC@C>cc@

In yesterdays review of the political
situation as applied to the condition of
the aspirants for federal appointments,
the reporter who docs" politics for
The Herald was guilty of gross neg
lect. In the story there was an e=ilis-
sion which was grave, very gravz. Peo-
pie generally may not have nodced it,
but 1t was there just the same. The
emission was there; not the matter
omitted.
Careful coming of the tale which is
alluded to, will reveal the absence of
the patronymic of Hon. Wiley Brown,
who is an aSpirant for the appointment
o. United States attorney for this dis
trict of Utah. The omission alluded
to was not intentional. 1t should be
charged to the sources of information
from whence The Herald man got his
story. Because, come to think of it,
Hon. Wiley Brown is a candidate. And
all aggressive one at that. Why, some
months ago, soon after Mckinley was
elected, he Wagered S. against $3.50, put
up by Judge Dey, that Lindsay Rogers
would not be appointed. Hon. Wiley
Brown may get there. Ouien sabe? He
wears in addition to his clothes, look
of confidence and satisfaction. His face
is aglow with the enthusiasm of expec-
fancy. He acts like a. man who has
just received a letter from home with
a remittance. Hon Wiley Brown is a
candidate in the fullest sense the term
implies. Who his supporters are is a
| secret which shall be kept as sacredly
as would the honor Of sister. Until
Hon. Wiley Brown opens his mouth and
discloses it, the story shall be entitled,
The Unpublished Tale, or Who is
Backing Wiley

The aspirants who have been work
ing so quietly were disturbed somewhat
when The Herald came to hand yes
terday. They wondered where the in
| formation came from. Up to date Den
MS Clay Eichnor has had Abner Nc
Kinley all to himself. 1t is now stated
that the mail eastward yesterday car
ried no less than so letters to Abner
Mckinley. From now until the Utah
appointments are filed there will be
no rest for Abner Mckinley. He will
be prosecuted in his seclusion and Wor-
ried by mail carriers. His bills for
stamps viii increase, and his nights will
be sleepless. Abner Mckinley is going
| to have trouble from this time on.
Nash, too, was working bit of a
game with that cousin of his George
K. Nash of Ohio. And now Smith and
GreeneWald are hustling to counterfeit
the influence George *. Nash may ex-
ert in the direction of his relative.
L IOIl ILLS TIME On LIE supporters OIL me
two candidates alluded to will have a
hustle.

Arthur Pratt, Adam Paul and Be-
man Cannon held an animated confer
ence yesterday. 1t was eight feet from
the curb, so that no one could do any
listening. 1t is said that if Pratt gets
to be chief that Paul and Cannon will
| again work for the city. Perhaps. There
was a time when Boman thought he
was going to be captain of police I'M
der Pratt. That was when Arthur was
first elected. Cannon claimed Pratt
had promised him the place. But Jack
Donovan was selected, and Cannon
Went into seclusion. Now, after all
these years, it would seem that Boman
has forgiven Arthur, and is going to
try again. Perhaps Pratt will stand by
him this time. Perhaps.

Matt Rhodes was led up on the car
pet a few days ago by Police Commits
sioner Kenyon. Samuel wanted to
know why Matt pulled Essie Wat
kins. Rhodes replied that Chief Pratt
used to do the same, and then the con-
versation Jagged for lack of interest
ing subjects for discussion.
