Allen May Be Permanent Chairman.
The first real test of strength will
come in the appointment of a commit
tee on permanent organization and or
der of business. 1t is understood that
all the congressional candidates have
favorites, but the indications are that
no one or the factions will win out c.
b. Allen seems to be the man most de-
sired If it is found that no one candi-
date can have mis- way. Mr.. Allen is

Hot Fight Over Authorship.
The big fight will transpire in the
authorship. S. G.. Clark of Sewer
seems 10 nave slight lead, the caucus
or the Sewer delegation and two other
southern delegations resulting in an
out and out Endorsement of his candi-
dacy. His most powerful opponent, if
rot Conner Richards, is G. ]. Tingey of
Juab- The delegation from that conn
ty refused to get into CIark's merry
go-round and are pulling every string
in support of Tingey. w. d. CandIand
OF SanDete is also a candidate and he
has majority of the southern coun-
ties not already captured by Clark All
the candidates for this Office are Nor
mons.
As matters now stand, nothing but a
happy fate can prevent C. w Bartch's
nomination for the supreme judgeship,
though strong effort will be made /
to put George F. Goodwin through.
