POWERS BY RECLAMATION

Judge Orlando w. Powers will prob
ably be nominated for congressman by
reclamation at the Democratic state
convention. which will begin it's DELHI
erations at the Salt Lake theatre at 10
o'clock this morning. No other name
has been mentioned for this place on
the ticket, and there is no prospect that
any will be.
The nomination for supreme judge is
still in doubt. Judge II. II. Rolapp of
Ogden could have the nomination by
reclamation If he would accept, but
his private practice is making such de-
mands on him that he feels he cannot
make the sacrifice TO run. Several
names were suggested by delegates
yesterday, among them r. N Baskin.
former Justice Of the supreme court,
and Samuel w. Stewart, former Judge
OF the Third district court. Both are
residents of Salt Lake

ton, on platform and on credentials
The convention will then, in all prob
ability, take recess until afternoon in
order to give the committees a chance
TO meet and make up their reports The
nominations Will be made in the after

Numbers of delegates arrived yester-
day, and many OF them came to the
headquarters in room 200 of the Wilson
hotel. There Chairman Martineau Sec
rotary John E. Clark Stephen H
Lynch and other local Democrats were
on hand to meet the visitors. The

cans fighting among themselves, the
feeling strong against the Smoot ma
chine, and the chances good for the
Democrats, i'm spite of the fact that
Sanpete has normal Republican ma
jority.
"In the southern part of the state
there is a strong and growing feeling
against the SmOot machine" said J. F.
Gibbs of Marysvale. II speak of Nor
mon Democrats and of a large number
of Mormon Republicans. The result Of
his mixing in politics has been serious
to the state and to the people, and
there is a genuine revolt against the
methods used by him and his associ-
ates. The remedy for all this trouble
is in the Democratic party, and the
people are realizing II more and more

Gratis had put up an excellent ticket in
Cache county, and would be in line
with a victory this fall.

the state. and the delegates will go into
the convention today buoyed with op-
timism over the prospects, especially on
the county tickets, beginning with Salt
Lake county.
