tiYf campaign. probably. than any of
tn Hhers and is believed TO have his
stffngth VOL organized. His support
G 70 claim a nOmiration for him on
IN first ballot, by a large majority,
s2fne placing il as high as $50
Mr. Roylance's supporters, while ad-
hitting he has not made a Systematic
campaign, contend that he viii win
the contest we only ask the con-
vention 10 name the best man in sight
for the place. and on that showing
we claim Roylance is the man."
The ROylance men expect to secure
Utah county solid, Wasatch solid, not
less than thirty votes from Salt Lake,
twenty from Weber, twenty from
Cache, twelve from Sanpete, and
enough from other counties to make
not less than $50 on the first ballot.
The struggle for the nomination for
secretary of state lies between Levi N
Harmon of Carbon and /. c. ThOresen
of Cache. Mr.. Harmon comes with q
powerful backing from his section Of
the state already pledged TO him. and
his men claim he viii draw heavily
from all over the state. Mr.. ThOresen
won over Joseph MOnsOn i'm caucus
yesterday, and has the solid support
of Cache, with enough outside sup
pert. his friends claim, to make him
the choice of the convention. Dan Ha-
mer of Weber also may get in the
race.

those of j. H. Paul of Salt Lake, y. r..
Porter OF Davis. y. L. Nelson of Utah

ALI For Powers For Congress.
Three names suggested last night as
constituting a good electoral ticket are
Fred j. Kiesel Of Weber, Z. II. Snow OF
Washington and +. A. Wall OF Salt
Lake. The Washington county delega
ton is asking for nothing beyond the
selection of Mr.. Snow for candidate for
elector.
One choice that viii involve no dis
pute and that is expected to be mad
by vociferous shouting is the selection
of a candidate for congress. No name
but that of Judge o. w. Powers of

VIII be chosen by reclamation is beyond
question.
