A SmoOt-Salsbury slate is being pre-
pared, and the delegates will have their

This is a step in carrying out the com
pact made by Smoot and Salisbury before
the ldtter consented to become chairman
OF the state committee The Herald at
me time stated that a seat in the United
safes senate had been promised to Sails
DUry, and that one of the conditions
was that he should become chairman of
tne state committee and contribute heaV-
lly to the campaign. Further details of
the agreement have come out since The
contract might be stated as follows:
IhlS agreement, entered into between
Orange J. Salisbury of Salt Lake CITY
Utah, party of the first part, and Reed
Smoot of Provo, Utah, party of the sec
ond part, witneSSeth:
The said party of the first part hereby

!. That he will accept the position of

of Utah and will remain in that position
until the close of the campaign. always
agreeing that he will take no action as

trary to the wishes of the party Of the
second part.
Salisbury to Furnish Funds.
-. That he will assume full RESPONSE
FILTHY for the raising of ali funds which
may be necessary for the work of the
state committee during this campaign,
aking UP out of his private fortune any
deficits which may arise.
j. That he will use his best efforts and
influence to hold in line in the party as
many Gentiles and other recalcitrants as
nOCSihlp pSnpciallx-
Ste phen H Love. and various others who

seat in the United States senate from the
state of Utah, either by governors APP
poiHtment or election By the state legis-
Iature'
THE agreement was not reduced to writ
ing, but both Reed Smoot and Orange J.
Salisbury. as we'll as some other promi-
nent Republicans, know that if it had
been il would have been substantially as
stated, and that the terms are correct,
unless there NAV be some further details
Fixing Up Slate.
There is strong possibility that a va
before the expiration of Shoots term.
His case will be acted on at the coming
session of congress. Should he be refused
q seat. the legislature this winter may be
called Oh to elect his successor. There
are some who say that SmOot feels
strongly enough TO seek election over
again at the hands of the legislature and
hurl himself back into the teeth OF the
senate of the United States. For prece-
dents are cited the cases of Charles Brad
laugh, who was thrown out OF the Brit
iSh parliament because as an atheist ne
would not take an oath, and that of John
Wilkes who was elected from the same
body for criticising the kings message
and who was sent back again and again
by his constituency.
When the real issue arrives. however, {
is not believed that SmOot will take so
radical course. Should he be unable TO
remain in the senate himself. he natural
is to be Salisbury, if Smoot can '<eliver
the goods" The Smoot-Salisbury sell
atorial slate has been practically agreed
on. II is composed of William n. Will
hams and Gleason S. Kinney. These two
can be depended on by the machine and
they will be ready for service whether
the vacancy is TO be filled this winter or
two years later.
o. KID for House Nomination.
But while Smoot is expressing great
confidence that he will retain his seat in
the senate he is taking no chances on
the next legislature. His slate of men.
who can be voted for Salisbury If needed
this winter, was partially completed yes
terday. 1t will not be finished until to-
day, as the caucus Of the country dele
gates was held last night to suggest
names for places on the Legislative and
county tickets. If the men recommended

the mark of approval had been placed
yesterday were the following: Harry S.
Joseph. willing servitOr of the machine,
he &c he oil.
S. j. Stookey and G. Z. Marks, who did
the bidding of Smoot in the lower house
at the session of 1905; David NJ. Haigh,
attorney, of Murray; Briant S. Young,
tee; Preston d. Richards. John @. Critch-
low, A. V. Anderson of Bingham.
This makes only eight out of the ten
candidates.. and there will be additions
and possibly changes DIR. F. E. Straup
of Bingham may be put on in place of A.
V. Anderson; Heber A. Smith, who has
shown his tractibility in the legislature in
the past. may be added. But no men will
be allowed to go on the slate unless Smoot
is confident he will submit to party dis
cipliner" meaning Smoot discipline.
Emery-Smith Contest.
The fight for sheriff appears to have
narrowed down TO Sheriff &. Frank EN-
cry and John Y. Smith. Smith is the
nominee of the Labor party and it was
predicted yesterday he would give Sher-
if Emery, candidate for a third term. a
run for his money" Up to date Smoot
has shown little disposition to dictate the
nominees on the county ticket and there
may be free convention so far as these
nominations are concerned.
Several men are mentioned for county
commissioner Among them are J. h.
CoSgriff, A. w Carlson, ID. O. Rdeout of
Draper Heber A. Smith of Draper Will

Hamlin. Z. d. Miller. Glen r Boutwell,
and Henry n. Standish.

for assessor Frank Higginbotham for au-

j. 3. Swenson for surveyor. John A.

candidate for county treasurer. 1t was
predicted he would win. until the entire
