Nearing Cheyenne Wells, Colo, July
2--Within a very few minutes. the Utah
delegation viii cross the line into
Bleeding Kansas" Then it will be a
matter of only few hours until the
convention city is reached. The train
was scheduled to arrive at Kansas City
at 1880 o'clock tomorrow morning.
The stop at Denver was shorter than
had been anticipated on account of the
delay in arriving. Still there was a trifie
more than an hour to spend in the
Colorado metropolis and the Utahns
took advantage of the opportunity to
see the sights. Most of them took an
electric car and saw the principal
sights to the best possible advantage.
Mrs. Cohen tasted some of the sor-
rows Of fame as soon as the train
reached Denver. Hardly had the stop
at the union station been made when a
crowd of reporters, representing all the
morning and afternoon papers, swarm
ed into the car, inquiring for the only
woman delegate. Mrs Cohen received
them all and accorded an Interview to
each.
Idaho Delegates on Board.
Part of the Idaho delegation is on the
train The men who compose it caught
on at Granger, but they are in a diff
ferent car from the Utahns- They are
E L. Wolfe of Mountain Home, ]. W.
Reed of Lewiston and E. ]. Dockery
Of Boise. All three are strongly OPP
posed TO any resolution in the national
platform bearing on the Occur d'Alene
troubles They said it was local mat
ter purely and one with which the ma
tional Democracy had no right to med
die. The question" said Mr.. Reed,
will be settled at our state convention,
which is to be held in Pocatello July II.
No matter what stand might be taken
on the subject at Kansas City it might
jeopardiZe Mr.. Rryan's chances of car
fying Idaho next fall"
The other delegates thoroughly en-
dorsed the statement of Mr.. Reed. In
regard 10 the vice presidency Mr. Dock
cry said that the Idaho delegates had
been pledged 10 vote for J. Hamilton
Lewis . Washington. For this reason.
although the delegation Knows Mr..
Lewis has no earthly chance for the.
nomination, complimentary ballot Will
be cast for him. The Idahoans have
made no choice on their own account
for the vice presidency.
1t looks as if Mr.. Reed Will be put on
the committee on resolutions, but aside
from that it is not known what other
apportionments of convention honors
will be made.
Division Of Utah Honors.
1t is most probable that Senator Raw
Inns Will be Utah's representative on the
committee. The four delegates on board
favor this plan and their votes will be
sufficient to elect, although no normal
caucus has been held or vote taken. It
is expected that a caucus will be held
in the headquarters at the Baltimore
tomorrow afternoon. Judge Weber IA
vors A. H. Tarbet for chairman, and
Mrs Cohen for vice chairman. 1t is
quite likely that these. selections will
be made.
All the Utah people thus far are in
excellent health and spirits. Since a
point within 100 miles west of Denver
the weather has grown steadily warm
er. Here in eastern Colorado the men
have their coats off and the women are
using fans quite vigorously. II this is
a sample of what may be expected in
Kansas City somebody is going to do
some SWeltering
