MANY SUGGESTED
FOR CANDIDATES
Possible Democratic Nominees
Are Numerous.
THREE WOULD BE GOVERNOR
MoYLE AND RoYLANcE APPEAR
IN LEAD.


During the past week the list OF pros
pective candidates for places on the
Democratic state ticket has been ma
terially reduced through announce
ments from various men who had been
mentioned that they would not become
candidates before the convention next
Thursday. The field is stiH a large one.
with every prospect for a lively con-
Yention.
salt Lakes county primaries win BE-
held tomorrow evening and il IS
thought the result In this county will
make II possible to get Il fairly good
line on the relative strength of the
candidates, as primaries and conven-
lions in majority of the outside coun-
lies have already named delegates TO
the state convention.
The contest for the nomination for
governor now promises to be limited to
struggle by supporters of three men,
James III. MOyle OF Salt Lake. w. NJ
Koylance of Utah. and Aquila Nebeker
OF Rich The Moyle men claim to have
cut into Nebeker's ranks in Cache
county and to have secured much sup
port in other counties. RoyIance is
strong in his home county and in diff.
ferent parts Of the south some delega-
tons have been instructed for him.
Many incline to the belief that the re-
suit n Salt Lake county will determine
the issue in the convention, and for
this reason the primaries tomorrow
night promise 10 be well attended and
interesting.
l. G. Thoresen and Joseph Monson OF
Cache are reported to be making L
strong light for the control of the north
to aid them in their race for the NOM
ination for secretary of state Dan
HameT of Weber has vigorous support
ers, and Levi n. Harmon of Carbon
Will, his friends say. come up with a
large part of the south solidly behind
him.
w. B. Wilson Of Weber, J. w. Geiger
Of Summit and ]. L. Herrick of Weber
are among the men mentioned as likely
to secure the nomination for state
treasurer. With the announcement b.
w II. Dale that his name viii not go
before the convention in this connec-
ton, the indications are that Salt Lake
county will have no candidate for this
office
Sanpete county is working for repre-
sentation in the shape of the nomina-
ton for state auditor and will likely
ask that Julius B. Christensen Of Manti
be chosen. Another prominent candi-
date for the nomination is NJ ID.
Bowen of Juab.
j. d. Call Of Box Elder, J. s. Peery
and W. L. Maginnis OF Weber and Ed
ward Pike of Juab are among those
mentioned for the nomination for at
torney general. A. J. Weber of Salt
Lake. whose name had been often
heard, has announced that he will no!
be candidate for any nomination this
year.
n. T. Porter of Davis county and J.
n. Paul of Salt Lake are suggested for
superintendent Of public instruction
Friends of l. W. Bowman OF Carbon
who was also mentioned, say that as
Mr.. Bowman has accepted a place on
MS county ticket, his name will not
be presented to the state convention.
The nomination for supreme Judge
will likely go either to Judge K. Y.
Baskin, the present incumbent, or to
9. s. Varian of Salt Lake.
No opposition to Judge O. W. Powers
of Salt Lake for the congressional nom
inatien has been heard Of anywhere,
and he will doubtless be nominated by
reclamation.
