JUDGE SAWYER DECLINES.
Democratic Attorney win Not Run as an
Independent NonlOee'
Members Of Local Bar Way Name AN
other Wan This the Last Day
Cnder the Law.

Judge 4. p. Sawyer has sent COM
munleation 70 Chairman Varian of the
lawyers local bar association, declining
TO be their candidate for one Of the city
judgships. This action Is final on the
part OF Judge Sawyer he having
reached the determination not 10 run
after celebrating upon II since last
Saturday.
Judge Sawyer says he very much APP
preciatcd the honor the memoirs Of the
Salt Lake bar had shown him, and he
did not wish II understood that he was
unapprecioti tive. But he says he feels
he cannot afford to run for the office at
his time OF life that he had by hard
work built up practice that yields him
goodly competence and as he had
never entered actively into the field OF
politics he felt he could not az this
time afford TO abandon his practice to
run for the Office of one OF the munich
pal judges.
Just what the lawyers will do now
has not been ascertalned. Several
prominent attorneys were seen late this
afternoon and asked what step will now
be taken and their reply was that they
did not know This being the last day,
under the law, In which the name Of
another nominee can be placed on the
ticket, the committee has only a few
more hours in which to make another
selection. At the Republican and DEM
ocratic headquarters there was no little
iubiation on the part Of the workers
who compllmented Judge Sawyer on his
declinaton. II was freely predicted
that his refusal meant the end OF the
independent movement and that either
the Republican or Democratic nominees
would now be successful al the polls.
