PRICE GANG DoWNED.
Chief Result of Carbon County Re
publican Convention.

Castle Gate, Sept. 5.-The Republi-
cans held their convention here today
There was a full representation, as a
good, hard scrap was expected between
the Price delegation and the Castle
Gate party, and it was demonstrated
beyond the shadow of a doubt that the
days of the Price gang are ended. Thew
did not get even a ghost of show All
they got was the nominee for the house
and commissioner. They voted solid,
but to no purpose. After being in ses-
sion for four hours, the following men
were put up to be victims for the next
election:
Representative-R. G.. Miller, Price
Assessor and Treasurer-M Bever-
idge, Castle Gate.
County Clerk-W. ]. Tidwell, Wei ing
ton.
Prosecuting Attorneys. ]. Hark-
ness, Scofield.
Sheriff. L. Price, Scofield
Commissioners-H. A. Nelson, Castle
Gate; John James, Winter Quarters:
George F'randsen, Price.
This is the weakest ticket that has
been put up by the party since the divi-
sion.
Four Democrats hold county offices
now, and they have got clean record.
They have saved the county money, a ID
should the party get into power. next
term they will free the county from
debt

M'KINLEYIFEs CONTROL
MT. Peasants G. o. P. Primary
Shiny Attended.

Mt. Pleasant, Sept. 6.-The Repub-
licans of this city held the first primary
of the campaign last evening. There
were exactly 10 adherents of the faith
in attendance when the meeting was
called to order, and possibly as many
more put in an appearance before the
adjournment was taken-just 20 min
utes afterwards.
The business, as transacted, was the
reading of the county committees call
and the election of seven delegates and
a like number of alternates to attend
the state convention at Salt Lake City
Thursday. The delegates were r. An
derson, ]. d. Page, w. d. Candland, A.
Intosh, James Larsen. Alternates
were Thomas Brady, Christian Jansen,
A. S. Nelson, Hans P. Jacobsen, A. B.
Waldemar, Mrs. J. d. Page, Mrs. Ed
Wall
OF the regular delegates one is an
unqualified goldbug, four are Mckinley
men, but believe in silver through the
medium of foreign Intervention. and
two are what were termed Bryan Re-
publicans." Five of the alternates are
supporters of the Mckinley faith and
the other two are silver men.
The meeting was absolutely void of
anything approaching enthusiasm, nor
was there any friction apparent.
The precinct call had provided for the
reorganization of the local branch of
the party, but as it was suggested that
a portion of the party would not be
able to align themselves permanently
with the party until after platform
had been promulgated by the state con-
vention, the reorganization idea was
postponed until a subsequent primary

PROVO'S CANDIDATES.
Hot Contest For the County Attor-
neyship-Caucus Proceedings.


Provo, Sept 6.-The Provo Demo-
cratic delegation to the county con-
vention met in caucus tonight, for the
purpose of determining it's course of
action tomorrow.
There are two offices which the dele
cation of Provo should have by right
of justice-assessor and one commits
sioner. The first, on the ground of the
assessment of Provo property, and the
second because one commissioner
should be from the county seat. E. L.
Jones was endorsed for assessor and
Joseph T. McEwan for commissioner,
by unanimous vote. Mrs. May Spencer
was endorsed by reclamation for coun-
ty recorder and Mrs. Ellen Jakeman
for treasurer, by reclamation.
The fight of the evening occurred
when the candidates for attorney
were presented. D. D: Houtz nominal
ed Jacob Evans, and Chairman D. ].
Williams nominated S. A. King. 1t
seems that for some time Mr.. King,
the present attorney, and Evans have
been working for this office, and tonight
their respective strength was tested
Speechmaking waged warm, and some
hot discussion took place concerning
the power of the majority of the dele
gates to bind each delegate to vote in
the convention for persons endorsed in
caucus. Judge NJ. M. Kellogg said he
would leave the meeting if the dele
gates decided to bind him to vote for
any man. When the vote was taken
ON King and Evans only % delegates
out of "a present voted, the vote being
II for Evans and eight for King. By
this vote it is practically undecided
which is the strongest. ]. w. n. White
cotton was elected chairman of the DEL
egation.

VERY SLIMLY ATTENDED IN
DAVIS AND SUMMIT.
But Four Precincts Represented In
Each Convention, No Platforms
Adopted and No Enthusiasm
Shown = Price Gang Downed In
Carbon County.


Pennington, Sept 6.-Twenty- one
delegates, representing but four of the
II precincts in Davis county, met to-
day in the court house in a Republican
county convention. Five of the q
were ladies, and to their credit it may
be said that the five were as potent a
factor in the deliberations as were any
of those of the sterner sex. They made
their share, and more, OF the motions,
and two of them, Mrs. Julia Hess and
Mrs. Lucy A. Clark, made speeches
good, forcible, energetic Republican
speeches, in which their party and its
policy, nationally and locally, was
eulogized.
e. P. Ellison called the q to order
and was made temporary chairman,
and later was made permanent chair
man. Rev. e. NJ. Knox was secretary.
When the convention had accepted
the preliminary work of committees
and had listened to speeches by the
ladies mentioned and by Hector w.
Haight, Ezra +. Richards and e. P.
Ellison, the delegates to the state con-
vention, II in number. were selected.
Harmony prevailed. Only II were NOM
mated, and they were accepted by an
reclamation vote. They were Hector
w. Haight, T. Francis Roueche and
Mrs. Sarah E. Taylor of Kaysville, E.
p. Ellison and Rufus Adams of Layton,
John A Hatch and Henry Moss of
South precinct woods Crosse, Ezra F.
Richards Mrs. Julia Hess Mrs. Lucy
A. Clark and e. b. Clark of Farming
ton.
Each delegate selected his own alter
nate, the list being as follows: Chris

cir HQnrV
son, Priscilla Potter, Rev. E. NJ. Knox,
j. l. Atkinson, Joseph E. Harrod, Mo-
MICA Secrist, Miss Ada Flint and Joseph
Miller
After a ten minutes recess to admit
of caucusing, the following selections
We're made for members of the county
central committee:
South precinct-John A Hatch and
Mrs. Josephine Howard.
West precinct-W. B. Marshall.
Bountiful-Amos Cook.
Centerville-Lorin c. Wooley.

Mrs. Lucy A. Clark.
Kaysville-C. Burton, jr., and Mrs.

Syracuse-Joseph Bodily and Cation

South Weber-Joseph W. Earl.
The committeeman from South
Hooper, Clearfield and Clinton will be
chosen by the central committee.
The convention adjourned without
passing resolutions, having been in ses-
sion two hours. ,r
The county ticket was not nominated
today, and it is presumed another con-
vention will be held for that purpose.
When it will occur has not yet been
made known -, e
