OK KEARNs MEN in salt Lake
y City were yesterday elected as
delegates to the state con-
vention which is to select ma
tional Republican delegates These six
arrived there by accident. as a rule.
Jacob J. GreenewaId, for example. VINO

Twenty-first district to divide one
convention vote among them, had pre-
viOuSly absolutely declined 10 be a
candidate for delegate, and announced

Ond There may be others elected who
are friendly to the senior senator. but
they are not generally known to have
such Affiliations.
The Sutherland-SmOo combination
had a waIkoVeT. The Kearns people
did not try. Word was sent TO all the
Kearns lieutenants' TO keep out of the
fight States that had been made up
were dropped. All incipient contests
were called OF The Sutherland-SmOO
anti-Kearns crowd encountered no op-
position except in few scattered in
stances. and then generally II was
only half-hearted- Senator kearns and
mis- advisors had concluded the game
was not worth the candle. that it would
be foolish to spend money. make a
hard fight. run the risk Of losing pres
t.ge by defeat. and exhaust portion
of their resources for the empty honor
of naming what six men in Titan
should attend the Chicago convention
and help so through the form Of nom
mating Roosevelt. So they withdrew
and left the coast clear
