"And the hand of Smoot will be over
it all, even from the beginning to the
ending thereof
The church Republican State conven-
ton will meet in the Salt Lake theater
at ii o CLOCK this morning for the
pleasant purpose of doing the will Of
Apostle Smoot in the matter Of putting
up candidates for Congress and the Su-
preme bench
So far as the Congressional nomina-
tion is concerned, it is believed that
Apostle Smoot will order his man,
Howell, nominated on the first ballot
This is partly because Howell is Smoot S
choice, in any event and partly for the
reason that Smoot is eager TO admins
ter stinging. rebuke to Farley p. Chris
tensen for his activity in the cam
paign.
Farley P's Error.
With no idea that Farley would take
the matter seriously, but that he would
judiciously advertise himself. Smoot had
Farley set aside to keep other "butters-
i'm from interfering with Howell S
candidacy; but, not at all strange to
relate, to those who know Farley P,
that young man, in some mysterious
manner, got the idea into his head that
he was real, live candidate for Con-
gress, and he accordingly went out af-
ter the Smoot machine and the nomina-
tion Just as if he had a show to land
the place. This is why Farley will be
given hammering today that will
linger long in his memory.
Frick Is Set Apart.
In the matter of the Supreme Judge
ship nomination, well-informed Smoot-
ties expressed the opinion last night
that Judge J. E. Frick and Judge c. W.
Morse would run close race, but that
Frick would win in the end 1t is said
that Apostle Smoot decided to switch
from Morse to Frick on Tuesday, but,
in any event, well-informed men say
that Frlck Will not secure the nomlna-
ton on the first ballot. 1t is argued
that the Weber county delegation will
be compelled to support Judge Hulan-
iski on the first ballot, and Judge HUI
laniski also has considerable support
from Cache and Box Elder counties.
With this following it is believed that
Hulaniski and his friends can prevent
the nomination of Frick on the first
ballot, and, perhaps, on the second. In
the wind-up, however, there IS virtually
no doubt that Frick will be the winner
Meeting of Committee.
The State committee met at head
quarters in the D. +. Walker building
last evening and decided upon the tenn
porary officers, as given above. The
matter Of permanent officers was not
discussed but, in view Of the fact that
the temporary chairman is an cnthusias-
tic follower Of Apostle Smoot and all
that Smootism stands for, 1T is believed
that Smoot will give the permanent
chnirmanship to a representative of the
decent element of what is left OF the
party.
1t is argued that Smoot can well af-
ford to do this, rs he will be in such
absolute control of the convention that
no chairman, however much he might
be opposcd to the plans of the apostle,
would be able to thwart them, even in
the slightest degree,
