REPUBLICANS
GETTING BUSY
Judge CIesson S. Kinney Be-
comes Candidate for the
Upper House.
POLITICIANS AT LUNCHEON,
Resentment Among Americans Who
Dislike Being Foreod Into swallow.
Ing Kearns Without salt.

That the Republican party intends 20
make an immediate and aggressive
fight was much IN evidence this morn
ing. The party leaders were In council
at the state headquarters aud work
was being laid out for campaigners all
over the state.
Senator Reed Smoot arrived In the
city this morning. and was met at the
depot by James II. Anderson and NAL
colin McAllister. manager Of the Re-
publican official organ. At noon State
Chairman Salisbury went 10 lunch win
former State Chairman spry and b H.
Callster. The lunch developed an
amusing incident OF the political seas.
Just before the party arrived at the
Vienna cafe. Frank j. Cannon came IN
and took a seat in :he rear dining
room As the other lunchers began 10
wonder whether he would have his
fried. fricaseed or boiled and served on
toast. the second party reached the
rear dining room and after looking
around, about faced for the street
again. II was evidently meant for
luncheon OF mutual condolences and
there was no desire to carry aid and
comfort to the enemy at the next table,
even inferentially.
Secretary squires stated al head
quarters this afternoon. that Senator
Smoot had not yet called at the state
Offices but that he expected him 10
call during the afternoon. He had one
item to give out Il was that Clesson
$. Kinney, who las, year was member
OF the lower house, Is candidate for
election to the State senate. taking one
OF the places made vacant by the ex-
piration OF the terms Of Senator Will
liams and Senator Bamberger, As VIII
liams is also a candidate for the NOM
nation, II is possible that he and Kin
ney will be named by the Republicans.
Their American party opponents are
saloonkeeper Cahoon Of Murray and
Garfield. and Mormon eater Sanford Of
Salt Lake. The Democratic nominees
are as yet untalked Of. except infor-
mally Senator Bamberger Is being
urged TO run again and there are
number or likely men for the other
place.
A large banner bearing the words
Democratic headquarters was today
flung out from the third story windows
OF the Atlas block. reaching across the
street % the car tracks. II is meant
10 catch the eye Of the
Democratic delegate the moment
he steps OF the Rio Grande train
al the bottom Of the street. The Ameri-
can party banner already reaches from
the poles 10 the front door OF the Cul.
len across the street. and the Republic
can banner crosses the sidewalk In
front OF the Atlas block.
Secretary Armstrong OF the American
party county committee was busy to-
day preparing instructions 10 county
workers. and incidentally sending the
workers on their way. He has prepared
a typewriter document for them OF
several pages in length telling them
Just what kind Of information is want
ed.
It Is surprising how deep the resent
ment Is among American party leaders
TO the black hand OF Thomas Kearns
when il is seen over party affairs. Ben
h. Haywood declares with great earn
estness the movement is not meant to
drag afiiliation back to the camp ot
Kearns and senatorial candidate San
ford denies that he is In any way
pledged. while Rodeback OF the gentle
misinfomation bureau also arises IN
meeting TO say that he Is not pulling
for Thomas.
