Republican Caucus.

Dr. A. s. Condor Of ogden arrived In
the city this morning and established
his headquarters at the Cullen. Several
o. the Republican leaders Of ogden
came down with him TO lend their aid
and counsel In the contest for the
speakership Of the house. They pro-
claim that there is TO be n fair square,
CIen fight for Dr., Condor ana assert
that they are absolutely certain Of the
support Of Is members, and that he
Will win ON the first ballot. II Is
claimed for him that all four Of the
members from Weber county are for
Kim, and three or four north OF Salt
Lake outside OF Weber and some from
Salt Lake
They insist that Weber county has
not received the recognition to which
IL is entitled and state that the north
has the secretary Of stae, member OF
the land board and member Of Congress
who are from the extreme north the
south has the prospective and almost
certain candidate for the United States
senate and further south the supreme
court judge, and that Salt Lake has
pretty much everything else, They
maintain further that Of the u princi-
pal appolntiye offices in the state We
her county has only one, in the per
son Of SurVeyor-General Anderson; that
Beaver caunty has had the speakershlp
once, and that outside OF the case OF
Mr.. Anderson, Weber has had what the
boy shot at nothing.
with reference TO the candidacy OF
Senator Allison for president Of the
senate coming from the same county,
IL is claimed by many that Senator
Alllson's residence in that county Is
constructive rather than actual that
his principal office Is in Salt Lake. and
that DR.. Condor has lived continuous
~ for many years In ogden, where he
has practiced his profession, and they
make the statement that everybody in
Weber county, including the Democrats,
Is rallying to his support They say
that whatever the outcome may be,
the fight in this case is aggressiyely on.
