part OF the state.
The article from the Post is as fol-
lows:
The lines are now drawn. the Plat

tendent Of nuhIic instruction The state
officers are elected for a term of four
years and in the hands of the governor
are a large number of important an
pointiye officers. so that the coming
election can result in the complete
change of the official government of the
state for a long period. In another re-
spect the election will be of Importance
and of especial interest. There are,
including county. Legislative and state
offices, two hundred positions to be fill
ed. There will be two candidates for
each place, making four hundred candi-
dates in the state particularly and per
sonally concerned in the election. As
the voting population numbers about
20. 900 it will be seen thai 2 per cent
Of the voters of the state will be candi-
dates.
1t is a noticeable fact that in this
campaign each of the two great par
ties of the state is harmonious and I'M
tied and without d@issension in its
ranks. The democrats are united on
all of the issues upon which it will
make its campaign. 1t was expected
trouble would be experienced through
the proposed effort to have the state
convention make a declaration concern
ing the choice of the party for the IN
tied States senate, but this did not ma
terialiZe. The silver republicans and
populists are working in harmony with
the democrats and the three elements
are solidifed into a common cause of
opposition to the republicans. In the
makeup of the democratic state ticket
all localities have been taken into con
sideration. In this respect the ticket
has an advantage over that of the re-
publicans for it gives representation to
Uinta and Sweetwater COUNTIES. both
unrepresented on the republican ticket.
