mere rs much newspaper TALK going
the rounds i'm favor of Henry Waiter
son, The esteemed editor Of the Louis
Vile Courier-Journal. for senator from
the good old state Of Kentucky. Nj.
Natterson has said repeatedly that he
IS not an aspirant for political houors.
that he is not a candidate for the SEN
atorship and. if We mistake not. that he
would not accept the office if il were
tendercd to him on silver platter.
Still Mr.. Watterson might be per-
suaded.
And it is high time that Kentucky
sent a man Of his calibre TO the senate.
The state would be honored more than
the Louisville editor by his selection.
NOT since Beck's day has q man of
Watterson's calibre represented Ken
lucky in the upper house of congress.
Always an Interesting figure in jour
nalism, he would be an even more in
tercstine ana picturesque figure in the
senate.

THE DEMOCRATIC BANQUET.

Democracy's banquet at the COM
mercial club Wednesday night fur
nshed plenty Of evidence that the party
MAS never ia better lighting trim in
This state on more likely TO. grow in
aggressive lighting ability. Even the
most pessimistic observer knowing the
result of the recent election would have
bfen compelled 10 admit that The men
who gathered around the banquet table
were not only cheerful over The p1Iiti-
cal outlook, but, what is more unusual
Tor the vanquished. were in a iubilaut
frame of mind
The reason Tor This jubilation deveI-
oped from the first Of the speeches.
The speakers and guests. while they
regretted the loss Of the city, felt that
the defeat of November had paved the
way for the removal of the Smoot
machine and its methods from Utah
politics. and the ultimate triumph Of
the Democratic party on the lines laid
down by the reconvened convention of
ten years ago which denounced church
influence of any kind in political at
fairs
The scoring given Smoot for his ia
reference in the salt Lake election as
well as for the part he has taken in
state politics. met with the most
enthusiastic approval and applause.
There was no mistaking the sentiment
@, the gathering on the subject OF
Smoot. and his machine; nor was there
amy doubt as 10 the feeling on the
whole problem of BOSSES, church OF
otherwise, In Utah politics. Indeed. no
more outspoken dcliVernces have been
heard M this state i'm amy gathering
since the reconvened convention so
often referred 10 by the speakers.
