Political Secretaries Playing 0S-

POWERS NOT YET IN FIELD.
In the Camp OF The "Boozsicrs' and
What They Are Doing and What
They Think VIII Come.

Utah politics developed something
new today. It is all because Col. Geo.
q. Squires carried the methods OF war
fare into his labors as secretary Of
the state Republican committee.
Now Secy Clark OF the Democratic
committee Il giving lessons in military
strategy, and the consequence IL that
the field OF battle presents two picures
OF scheming war experts, each trying
to outgenera the other. II an In
terested citizen wants to learn the
route of Judge Powers campaign he
must look IN the dispatches from small
Utah towns, stating that he IS either
billed to speak or has spoken there.
If the said citizen also wants TO learn
about Congressman Howell he must
look 10 the same source for his M
formation Both camps are sending
out their oratorical forces on n still
hunt, with sealed orders, and inst!uc-
tons not To talk Co reporters.
Col Squires fears that the Demo-
Gratis will camp on his trail through
the state IL they know what his tran
Is. Therefore there is only silence
about his route map. Secy Clark does
not want any Republicans trailing
Democratic speakers, hence there IL no
Information at headquarters concern
ing the plans Of Judge Powers. ON
both sides the matter Of Keeping
routes secret has seemed TO develop
into an acute case for an amateur
strategy board to duplicate in the next
international war.
As for Congressman Howell, II is
understood that he Is already on his
way, for his principal campaign speech
making Judge Powers is understood
to be tied up with court cases until
Thursday when II is expected that he
will take TO the held, Chairman Mar
tineau is in Utah county today, going
over the situation with the unterrined
faithful and his secretary, John Clark,
Is IN charge Of headquarters.
The fight that Is being made on the
candidacy Of a. II. Hyde for the lower
house of the legislature, Is resulting
in discussion Of his probable success
sors IN case he decided to resign from
the Democrat cticket. Theodore To-
biason is mentioned rs a probable sue
cessor
As for the case Of A. W. Carlson, who
said that he is unwilling to continue on
the ticket for business reasons, sue
cessor Is being reluctantly looked for
James f.. Clinton IS named as a prob
able choice for the position. Mr.. Carl
sons formal resignation is not yet ln
and il IL Is handed in today, ii Will be
considered tonight at a meeting of tho
Republican city and county committee.
Somebody said that a definition OF
gratitude was a lively sense of faVors
vet TO come. American" party head
quarters is filed with men who are
very grateful for the Jingle Of the bar
rel I'm earlier campaigns. They can BE-
counted on to remain faithful until the
day before election determines what
their prospects are when counted I'm
the yellow and white.
The American" party boosters, some
of whom went out constituting the word
to be spelled "boozesters" have found
that the thing isn't taking so well as
It might, and that the Sheets case
hangs over the enthusiasm like a wet
blanket Neither at Park City nor at
Murray was there any JOY IN evidence,
while at Mill Creek the rally was held
on a frosty night A careful canvass
I'm ogden reveals the fact that the par
ty is becoming more and more hated
the more II shows its color AS judged
by it's record In facts. It makes quite
q different impression than when 1t
waves the flag and shouts for princi-
pies which II prostitutes by merely as
sociating them with part of its person.
