AS consolation prize. it is now pro-
posed by the church Republicans of
Weber county 10 nominate Capt, HUI
laniski, the present County Attorney,
for the State Senatorship from Weber
county. Whether this is or is not dead
fall for the Captain, it is said that 1T
is proposed for the purpose of beating
President OF the Stake l.. w. Shurtllff
for the same office. President Shurt
lift recently denied that he was a can
ddate for the Office. but he has not
been able to convince the so-called
Republicans of Weber county of that
alleged fact
To the Editor of the Salt Lake Tri-
bune: Dear Sir:-My attention has
been directed to a statement made In
this mornings issue of the "Smootite
organ under the signature of ''Burl
Armstrong This statement is writ
ten so as TO discourage the belief that
] and my friends were boiling the
American party ticket. [ desire TO
state emphatically that the above
mentioned paper has absolutely no
facts TO back up any such statement,
because no such statement as attrib
uted to Mr. j. II Raleigh, myself or
my friends was ever made. | can only
brand the entire article as 4 pernicious
and misunderstanding falsehood. Before
going into the convention / took my
brother aside and told him that ! would
not go into that convention lf he did
not assure me before hand that in
case he failed to secure the nomination
for the Office Of Sheriff, he would be
perfectly willing to take of his coat
and work for the selected ticket Just
as hard as if he were on that ticket
himself. If he had not given me the
promise / asked ] would not have gone
into the convention or supported him
In any way whatever.
I voted for every candidate, except
two, on tho American party ticket and
am now Just as good an American as
the best, ] shall work for the success
OF The ticket from now until election
day and guarantee the same action on
my brother S part; also the friends who
are quoted as possible ''bolters "
do not desire that there should be any
doubt whatever about this. / repeat
that | am and always will be an
American and whatever j can do for
the success of the party ] Will do TO
the best Of my ability. Respectfully
yours, j. r. RALEIGH.

Judge Henry Shields Of Park City
was a Salt Lake visitor Monday Judge
Shields says that there is a growing de
mand for an American ticket at the
Park this fall.
Salt Lake Monday. Col. Loose insisted
that he was out of politics, but ad
mitted that he would, in all probability,
vote for Howell this fall. He also said
that several other people In Utah county
would vote the same way.
Chairman Martineau of the church
Democratic State committee explains
that the exclusive quarters in the Will
son hotel have only been secured tenn
and that general headquarters
will he established in the Atlas block
The rooms IN the Wilson arc for special
expected that some fine work will be
accomplished
This is the season of the wear when
.he "roorbackp cometh forth from its
air and doeth a lot of things TO tho
other fellow. The following "roor-
backs" are herewith denied by The
Tribune, upon the request of the church
Democratic and church Republican COM
mittees:
Chairman Martineau Of the church
Democratic State committee emphat-
cally denies that he spent an hour and
3 half in consultation with Apostle
Smoot Sunday IN connection with the
declarations of the Democratic plat
form. regarding church interference in
politics. Just TO show the mendacity
and untruthfulness Of persons who set
such rumors afoat, 1t is only necessary
TO point out that the interview in ques
lion took place last Friday, only lasted
half an hour, and was with respect to
.he candidacy of Judge Powers for Con-
yrcss. Another lie nailed.
The report that Congressman Howell
will be sent TO Wyoming during the
coming campaign is vigorously denied
by Col. Ed Loose OF Provo. The Col
mel says that Howell may be sent TO
Idaho In order TO increase his vote in
Utah, but that the report that he is TO
be sent To Wyoming is fase fabrica
lion. Why can't people be square in
politics?
The misereant responsible for the re
port that Matt Thomas would not ac
dept the Congressional nomination on
The church Democratic ticket has price
upon his head. The very fact that Mr..
Thomas never refused anything from
anybody in his life-that resembled su
ofiice-is ample refutation of this ridi-
culous rumor, What next?
A reward Of 800 will be paid by the
church Democratic State committee for
proof Of the assertion that has been
made TO the effect that Tommy +.
Thomas will be one OF the workers"
in the Democratic ranks this fall. AS
Mr.. Thomas is widely known, further
is unnecessary. Whoever heard
of such thingY
