Much Interest in Their State Con.
yentiOn the Last of the Pres
ent Month.
THE CONTEST FOR GOVERNOR,
That Is the Storm Center of Political
aggression .--Ilowells VIII Sure.
ly be Re.nominated,

Early in the summer season the Re-
publcans Of Utah appeared TO be pos
sessed OF all Of the political activity
OF the state. The Democrats were more
or less quiescent-more that than any
thing else. This is probably accounted
for ways. First, their national con-
vention was held first, and that started
the political machinery 10 moving Then
they were In the saddle locally which
is always n big advantage.
After awhile the Democratic national
convention was held and Samuel New
house. the mining magnate, made 1t
possible by a liberal supply Of funds,
for his party to open headquarters in
modern business block, and with fur
nishings that were surprisingly good.
Then the organization OF the Young
Mems Democratic club added TO the
interest that had suddenly been aroused
In the ranks. And this newest of the
big political organizations of the state
has been exceedingly active for weeks,
always doing something 20 attract pub
lie attention. But now the scene pro-
misses to shift somewhat at least. The
Republicans In three weeks more viii
be holding their state convention in
this city They Will nominate n full
ticket Meanwhile interest Is being
worked up 20 a fever heat. In few
days IL will be more manifest than
ever The one place on which party
eyes are centered more than any other
is that Of governor. Thus far sklrmish-
ing only may be said 10 have been done,
Plans are now under way for the big
battle The question Of victory is still
uncertain. win II be Cutler, Wells, or
Hammond? And what figure will Jesse
NJ. Smith cut? The queries are such
that no political seer can answer at
this time. Wait Is the watchword and
wait viii be the program.
As to the congressional nomination
II Ia politically certain that II will go
to Joseph Howells. II Is admitted that
he has made and Is now a good con-
gresham. For his party TO turn him
down at the end Of a first term with u
record such as he holds, his friends
argue, would be political folly, though
there are those In the Republican ranks
who are anxious to encompass his de.
feat In order that advantage may come
TO themselves. However, It is not
thought that they will succeed IN their
aims against him.
But these are only few OF the con-
ditions that obtain on the political
checker board. There are many other
moves and numerous other places anxi-
ously and energetically sought for.
FROM this time on the game will he

the Republicans viii be more in evil

Assistant General Passenger Agent
Of the Denver & Rio Grande
To Retire.
|. A. BENTON MAY SUCCEED HIM
Speculation as to Successor Brings
The Salt Lake Passenger Man
To the Front.

T. r. Swami, assistant general pas
senger agent OF the Denver g. Rio
Grande, who has held the position In
Denver for the past eight years, viii
resign on Sept. /. Just why Mr.. Swami
is seyering his connection with the Rio
Grande is not at this time forthcom-
ing, but II Is rumored that he has made
arrangements to go into other busi-
ness.
II Is hard to believe, however, that
after 81 Years of railroad service he
contemplates severing connection en-
tirely with transportation affairs. Since
1883 he has seen service with the
Louisville & Nashville, Missouri, Pa
cihc, Missouri, Kansas & Texas and the
Denver q Rio Grande, He is num-
bered among the best known passen-
ger officials In Denver.
With the resignation OF Mr. Swami
VIII come considerable speculation as
to his successor. Considering the rec
ord of the Salt Lake Office during the
Benton administration It would not be
a great surprise to the general public
If Col |. A. Benton, general agent OF
the passenger department here, should
be appointed to succeed Mr.. Swami.
