Jefferson was appointed music director
II a salary Of 81 900 year The trustees
decided TO open the county schools
Sept, ~, and 10 continue them for q
period Of nine months.
Contrary to report Gov Wells says It
Is not his intention to open headquar-
ters to further his candidacy for re-
nomination. He does intend, however
TO continue In the race and says he
has received assurances from all parts
Of the state and that he Is strong In
southern and central Utah, and In this
county, He believes, TO use a common
ptlitical expression, that aa has a
good fighting chance In his effort to
land the gubernatorlal nomination.
The Bingham Bulletin says; Now
that Hon, James II. Moyle has declared
himself candidate for the Democrat
ic nomination for governor, u would
seem that the convention should pro-
coed without debate TO make the nom
iination unanimous. IL the Democrats
OF Utah have one honest old Wheel
horse whom they should particularly
delight to honor II is James II. Moyle.
The Rlohfeld Sun, which furnishes
the people observer with a sparkling po-
litical column, is saying many pert
things concerning local. state and ma
tional politicians. Some extracts from
Its last issue follows:
''Plute county is solid for Wills John
son as candidate for state senator.
The county, however. Is divided as be-
tween Hammond and Wells for gov
ernor, but can be solldlhed II half the
missionary work already done for
Hammond is expended in the interest
OF Wells. Piute will instruct for James
Christensen for state treasurer.
salt Lake City Democrats are maxi
ing an effort to induce Bourke Cochran
to speak in Utah, Cochran is probably
the most eloquent orator in the United
States. and his address would be
treat TO all who enjoy high-class ora
tory. Whether his speech would do the
Democrats any good Is another quess
ton. During the past eight years he
has denounced the Democracy and
when Utah Democrats were shouting
most Justify for Bryan, he was support
Ing Mckinley and indorsing the Repub-
lican position on the financial question.
TO send Cochran to Utah, would be as
poor politics as TO send Bryan to ESQ
pus.
"Col, John Meter went to Zion
Wednesday, the ard and Is stu there.
The Sewer chairman said he went 10
inquire into the probable price of nails

Bros VIII plant no more nails this sea-
son, OF course politics has nothing to
do with Col. Meters trip TO the city.
Editor Deseret News:
The little anecdote about Ben Butler
published in last evenings News"
from "Harpers Weekly" reminded me
Of one about Senator Dubois which
shows that the joke is not always on
the fellow In the audience.
The honorable senator, during one Of
those political campaigns in Idaho that
brought out considerable bitterness OF
feeling over questions that seem to be
much alive at present IN the Gem"
state, was delivering a speech In a
small town IN the southeastern part
man Of pronounced and aggressive
Democratic proclivlties dubois was
then Republican,, who was about
half a dozen sheets IN the wind, and
who on this very account seemed de-
termlned to create as much disturb
ance as possible. Every now and then
as the speaker scored hits with his list
eners, this man would cry out some
great name with the evident and en-
barrassing inference that the chief
points OF the speech were really quota
lions from celebrities on the other side.
Now 1t was Van Buren,, another time
II was jefferson, and so on. This WAS
carried on I'll! II manifestly confused
the senator, and he finally paused long
enough in his address to shout to some
persons near the door: Put that
drunken man outl"
Quick as a flash came the last sally:
Original by hell!'-E. II, j,
The Republican county committee
will hold q meeting late this afternoon
for the purpose OF arranging for the
election Of delegates TO the state con-
ventlon to be held In this city Aug, %.
1t Is believed that the primaries VIII be
set for Friday the 10Th inst.
