OUTLOOK
FOR DEMOCRACY
Party Organization Being Rap
idly Perfected.
CONVENTION ON NEXT WEEK
SOME LIVELY CONTESTS FOR
PLACES SCHEDULED.

With the approach OF the Demo-
cratic state convention discussion Of
proba bic candidates for places on the
ticket is becoming more general The
chances for the success of the ticket
grow brighter daily in the judgment Of
some OF the abIest men in the party.
The Democrats viii enter the cam
paign this year with what is believed
10 be the best organization they have
had FOR several years past
Organization has been the keynote
of the advice given by the state COM
mittee and has been taken UP in the
most enthusiastic manner by the
county committees. In Salt Lake
county, as an instance, there is not a
voting district that has not already a
good working organization, whereas
two years ago many OF the districts
went through the entire campaign
without organization. In counties out
side the stare the work Of organizing
has been taken up in d manner not
less vigorous than IN this county and
results are beginning to show ia the
splendid reports that come in from
ali over the state.
Against the divided forces of the Re
publicans the Democrats Of Utah are
prepared to present a united front this
fall The determination to bury any
differences that may exist within the
party is universal and anything OF the
nature of a split has been rendered
practically impossible by the attitude
of the members of the party.
