There were seventy eight Republicans

and Jake Greenewald, Alma Katz, Joe

Less than 400 Republicans attended
the mass conventions in the five city
precincts last night to elect delegates
to the state convention which meets
on May 10 in this city to name six dele
gates and an equal number Of alter
mates to the national convention in
Philadelphia to renomiiate Mckinley
for president.
Out of the seventy-five delegates
chosen last night nearly half are city
officials and employees, and fully so
per. cent are aYowed Brown men. This
result makes it certain that ex-senator
Arthur Brown and Mayor Ezra ThOmp-
sOn are far and away in the lead in the
race for deiega6eships to the national
convention.
Summit, WaSatch, Juab, Utah and
other counties Will come up as strong
hackers of Brown and Thompson, with

but now of Salt Lake, as first choice
for third place. AS the combination
