The Lehi banner. [volume] (Lehi, Utah) 1891-1917, 1898-09-06

The Republicans held their primary
Wednesday evening, August 81 in The
City Hall. The attendance was small
and the business before the primary was
quickly dispatched. George Webb, the
county committeeman, was chosen to
preside at the meeting and f.
Patterson acted as secretary. The
delegates selected to attend the State
Convention at Salt Lake City on Sept.
are: George Webb, !, f. Ross, James
HARDWOOD, George Beck, +. S. Carroll,
John Roberts, Jr. Alternates: Miss
Elizabeth Austin, Mrs. George Webb,
Mrs. J. u. Ross. Mrs. Harwood, Mrs
Beck. Mrs. Taylor.
Some Of the Republicans appear to
have the idea that a chairman of party
in this precinct would be chosen at the
primaries this fall. This will not be
done unless special meeting is called
by tho present chairman, Mosiah Evans,
for that purpose as his term does not
expire until the next municipal cam
paign. The County Committeeman
will probably attend to many OF the
duties incident in this campaign and he
will be CHOSEN by the delegates elected
to attend the County Convention.
1t is thought that as far as the county
positions are concerned the fight i'll the
Democratic ranks will be over the office
Of County Attorney. No dissatisfaction
is expressed over the manner in which
Sam King has filled the position but
many believe that the large practice he
has will engage all of mis- attention and
ii Judge Kings ambitions are gratified
the party will have rewarded that side
OF the political family sufficiently.
Jacob Evans seems to be the most
popular man for the position. He is .
capable young attorney and by present
indications will have solid delegation
from the northern end of the county.
A gentle nan down from Lehi says
that Heber Austin is being favorably
mentioned in that city FOR the candidacy
for county commissioner on the Repub-
lican ticket. Hebe is very popular with
the farmers, and q very level headed
fellow.
So far the only man heard for the
same position for the south end of the
county on the Republican ticket is
Thomas WINNER.
1t seems pretty we'll settled that Com
missioner Perry will be a candidate on
the Democratic ticket for the office |
which he has now filled for couple of
years on the county board.-Proyo
Enquirer.
Judson Lovvless OF Payson is spoken
Of asa candidate on the Democratic
ticket as county clerk. Mr.. Loveless 10
a young man OF ability and integrity |
and stands high in the regard OF the
citizens of that community. For |
several terms he filled the position OF
city clerk at Payson. He has hut
recently returned from mission |
which he filled in California.
John E. Booth of Provo is supposed |
to have the Utah County Republican
delegation solidly in favor of his
nomination for Congress, although it is
not defnetly known whether Reed |
Smoot will tie candidate.
The sentiment seems to predominant
in Utah county in favor Of B. ii. Roberts
as the Democratic candidate Tor Con-
gress. Some Of the most prominent and
successful Democratic workers are in
his favor and there is little doubt that
the majority Of the Utah comfy delega
ton viii he Tor him.
Joseph Page OF Payson is spoken OF
for the attorneyship on the Republican
