over the deliberations OF the Demo-
cratic state convention which as
sembles in the Theater at II O'Clock
. this morning. This was decided on at
q meeting of the state committee held
in its headquarters last night. Senator
Cannon was some days ago elected a
delegate from Weber county to the
convention and it is known that he
will accept the honor rendered to him.
He will come down from ogden with
the Weber delegation this morning
salt Lake fairly dubbed with politics
last night. From Cache valley on the
north to Washington county on the
south. from Uintah on the east to
Tooele on the west same politicians
and people. little and big. Some had
candida ties, some had zone but all
were interested in the events scheduled
for today and all expressed a willing
ness 20 make up a harmonious whole.
Boyle Is the Strongest.
Most Of the interest centered in the
contest for the gOvernorship. The
word .SOvernOrship'' is used advisedly
for every person who is Interested in
this convention IS convinced that the
choice OF the Democratic party today
will De Utah's next governor. A can
vdss Of the situation revealed the fact
that James II. MOyle may go in with
the strongest following.
It IS possible that he will be non1i-
mated on the first ballot and it was to
prevent this that the friends of George
w Thatcher and Aquila Nebeker, bent
their energies last night. They were
willing 10 cOncede the possibility OF
defeat. but thew declared that unless
Mr.. Movie wins on the first ballot he
cannot be nominated at all.
Two hundred and sixty-three votes
VIII be necessary to choice for 524
delegates wiz be represented in the
convention. OF this number admirers
Of Mr.. Nozzle who say they are con
servative. estimate that he viii receive
at least 20 votes. They base their
claim on these figures:
Nj. Moyle's Claims.
Beaver 8. Carbon 3. Davis u. Emery
10, LION Z. Juab 8. Salt Lake 20, San
pete SO. Sewer s. Summit 10 TOOeIe g.
Jtah 80. Willard -. Uintah =, Wash
lnSton 10, Wasatch ,, Wayne l. Weber
20 Mr.. MOyle's friends say he may get
less votes in some counties than the
figures above. but any losses will be
more than OFFSET by gains in counties
mated.
For instance. some of his people as
seTt that he viii secure at least 100
votes from Salt Lake. Others declare
he VIII pull out from twenty-five to
thirty in Weber, where Senator Shurt-
lift IS hard at work for him.
The mama gers of Mr.. Nebeker and
Mr.. Thatcher are not prepared to admit
the accuracy of the MOyle estimate.
They say ne is claiming entirely too
much and point as an example to the
Rich county delegation. Some de IS
ago il was said that three of the five
from Rich, the home of Mr.. Nebeker
were for MOyle. When the delegation
came in last night il was found to be
solid for Nebeker.
Claims Are Disputed.
It is said further that Mr.. MoyIe will
get not to exceed sixty votes in Salt
Lake. Judge Powers says thirty-nine
are sure for Nebeker and besides it is
known that Mr.. Thatcher viii get
some votes here. The candidacy of
the gentleman from Rich is in shrewd
hands and It IS possible for him to
make a good showing.
Mr. Thatcher, however, Will prob
ably be second to Movie in strength.
The Cache delegation. thiTty-seven
strong, came in last night and housed
