nearly all the head of the ticket be
Democrats, in order that that party
may be misled into endorsing it. Then
place ten Republicans on the council
ticket and there is the slate. That
would give the Republicans control of
the whole city machinery. for they
could turn Mr. Clark down whenever
they wanted TO, and all would be lovely.
Some of the members of the committee,
and some NAV mean one, object to
this. Some of the members are honest
in their intentions So after a whole
lot of talk about candidates and the
mention of several names, it was agreed
to not publish any names t9lis morning,
but peg along until all the work was
completed.
The address to the public is bothering
the committee 1t is a lengthy affair.
The declaration of Independence isn't
in it for verbiage. The long train of
evils set cut in this new document is
longer than any old train ever looked
upon by moral eyes. ARA there win be
and now are. Examinations 10 make and
new matter to add and sentences to be
altered and "f1in's" to be made which
will entail at least another hard night s.,
work on the part of the committee.
THE TICKET.
But so far as can be ascertained the
agreed upon.
For treasurer. Joseph E. Came lieut.
enant-colonel on the staff of Brigadter-
General Willard Young and assistant
general of the National Guard OF Utah.
IS mentioned as the probable choice of
the commit re
It is expected that Joe VIII corral the
militia vote and that is an object to
be attained.
For recorder Miss Joanna SDrague is
the choice, so Tar as can be learned,
although this may be changed and soma
lady who has been more actiVel-- en-
gagged IN politics may be selected. But
the selection of a woman for this place
is assured. The ladies have been de-
barred from any part in the delibera-
lions of the committee and feminine
humanity must be apDeased in some
way, because feminine humanity casts
half the vote in this city.
For police justice. Orson Woolley.
Orson has a Judicial cast of counte-
nance and as a candidate would cave
the city money by refusing to draw
any more pay than the law allowed
him. That is a point which must be
considered in the selection Gf non
| partisan" candidates.
For city attorney. Frank 3. Steph-
ems. Frank would carry all the votes
| on Thirteenth East ON account of his
! kicks to the city council for more
! water. 1t VIII be remembered that
| Frank made a vigorous Flea in behalf
/ Of that portion Of the city, before the
! city council some time ago. asserting
that Thirteenth East could rot blthle
| because Of lack of water to I'll the
5athtubS. And the vote of Thirteenth
East is a factor for there must be sew
! eral people living out there. and with
/ the cry CT Water enough to fill the

works.
Then will come the rest of the ticket
the council ticket, with its ten Re
publicans and five Democrats, and
there you have the situation
All things. however, may vary, and

Mr. Clark. the nominee for mayor, is
! not q. man who desires to talk, eGDec-
tally at this time. He said so when a
| reporter for this paper approached him
! yesterday. Mr.. ClarI. said he did net
want to be, interviewed; he had moth
| ing 70 say at this time. The Herald
| man asked him If he had anything to
relate concerning his policy as mayor,
| in the event he should happen to be
| elected, and ne replied in the negative.
Declared ne knew nothing Of the af-
fairs OF the city and was like the man
who did not believe in crossing a stream
! until he came to it
Mr.. Clark had something more to say,
but urged that he be not quoted. AS
secrecy was enjoined it would be a VIC
! lat4Oa OF confidence to print What he
Did say, but perhaps he viii get to talk
ing by and b0.
The story Of how Mr.. Clark came to
accept the nomination for MAYOR after
| saying he would not and could not is
an interesting enc. Knowing ones say
that Nelson Empey, who is 4aSsoctted
| Wich him in business, was the Elan Who
| worked the plan. Nelson worked With
him in vain and finally prevailed upon
some of the members of the committee
10 go see him, saying, q cannot do any
thing with him, but if some of YOU 20
to him and make a talk. he VIII yield
so the talk was made. the sub commit
tee aai5ored and Mr.. Clark finally ar
rived at the conclusion that he was the
man of destiny and yielded.
If Mr.. Clark should be elected. it is
dollars to doughnuts that Arthur PRATT
Will be appointed chief cf police Be
cause if clark is elected. Joe Game syill
nan-Cannon combine viii be elected
Pratt wiJl have friend at court in
the person of E1nDey. who has been his
friend during the dark days which have
PASSED. And with Joe Game, his
bro.her-in-law, in a high position and
sir. Lannan as chief adviser Of tihe
partisan government. Mr.. Pratt
would have an easy time Because Mr.
Salisbury who is also a member CT ihe
! "ca,,o,Y,sgtee'' will take a hand in the
matter, too, beyond a doubt. Salisbury
Is a. friend of Arthur, too. Devine would
very likely have easy picking, ALSO. The
same crowd which favors Mr.. Pratt
also favors DeYine. as is we'll known
SO it will be seen that with a new deaa
all around Mr.. Pratt and Mr. Devlne
and all the trouble which has ensuec
since they have been in charge of these
departments will be continued undel
| the new regime.

Farley L. Williams told a reporter
for this paper last evening that he ha6
been read out of the Democratic party
With all due Difference to Mr., Williams
he has not. He alleges, SO the reporter
understood, that the call invites only
Bryan men to participate in the com
ing convention. Now, a reading of The
call will convince him to the contrary
/ The call invites the Democrats of the
city to meet in primary and convention
voted for Bryan are invited" TO at
tend and take part. It looks very mucf
as if Mr.. Williams read himself out o
the party.
