Kansas City. Mo-, July S.-Utah is by
no means lost in the vortex of sweat
ing, swearing, country-saving poll
ticians that is tonight boiling over
Kansas City and the environs thereof.
The delegation arrived this morning
two trains late, and lost no time in
hunting up the headquarters which
had been engaged at the Baltimore.
The room is a, large. airy apartment
on the fifth floor, with five big win
dows in it, and the Utah delegates and
visitors are as comfortable as they
could be anywhere in this hot town.
This afternoon a caucus was held
in which all the delegates and alter
mates who are here participated. Al
eXander H. Tarbet was chosen as
chairman of the delegation. a. j. We
Der for the committee on credentials,
William T. Knox on permanent or
ganization, G. w. Thatcher on rules
and order of business, Senator Joseph
L. RaWlinS on platform, d. c. Dunbar
national committeeman; George w.
Thatcher, honorary vice president;
Mrs. E. NJ. Cohen, honorary secretary;
A H Tarbet to notify the preSiden-
tiaI nominee, c. A G. Horn to notify
the nominee for vice president. All
the choices were unanimously made
and the meeting was harmonious in
every respect.
Tarbet Called Home.
Within half an hour after the caucus
ended, Mr.. Tarbet received a telegram
calling him TO Salt Lake on an i'm
portant business matter. 1t was like
giving up his right arm to go, but he
took his medicine cheerfully and left
tonight with Mrs Tarbet for Utah.
The absence of Mr.. Tarbet promotes
Alternate Horn to the dignity of del
egate, and also to the Craftsmanship of
the Utah contingent. Sam A. King
was named as alternate to succeed
him. There is one vacant place as al
ternate left, that of Royal A. Barney
of Provo. Lee Hoffman, the Price al
ternate, got in this afternoon.
Banner From Utah.
A feature of the proceedings tomor-
row night at the session when Mr..
Bryan is to be nominated, will be a
demonstration to be led by Mrs. Cohen
as soon as the choice is made. Mrs.
Cohen will waive a banner that was
brought with her from Utah. This ban
ner is most attractive. 1t is made of
heavy white satin, lined with purple
satin, bound with silver ribbon fringe.
1t is attached to a staff of natural
Utah wood, and bears the inscription:
Greeting to Hon. w. J. Bryan. from
the Democratic Women of Utah" The
banner is cut to a point in the center.
where there is a bunch of lilies The
creation is a donation from the Wo-
mans Democratic club of Salt Lake
1t will be presented to Mr.. and Mrs
Bryan if they come to Kansas City
before the convention adjOurns.
D. c. Dunbar, A. w. McCune and f
A. MCDANIEL have done excellent ser
vice in the way of providing seats in
the convention for all Utah people here.
The demand for tickets has been enOr-
nous. Hundreds of them have fallen
into the hands of spectators, who are
hawking them about the streets tonight
at SO each. At this figure the paste
boards are being snapped up as fast
as they can be handled. Visitors from
Utah, however will not be compelled
to buy their tickets. although it looked
for time this afternoon as if some of
them. after travelling half way across
the continent, would be compelled to
go home without seeing the big meet
ing.
AS a last resort. MIR. Dunbar talked
Colonel John l. Martin. sergeant-at-
arms, into appointing eight assistants
