Joseph F. Smith he prosecuted as
quickly and promptly as was Camp

can answer.
Frank Nebeker, former County At
torney Of Cache county, was in Ogden
yesterday. lie stated that the support
for Howell in Cache is much divided,
but expects it TO go for the Smoot ma
chine, which he denounces in unquali-
fed terms. He is looking ardently to
Weber county TO put it's disapproval
stamp on Howell, but he is going to be
disappointed. There arc not enough
men in Weber county who are free
from church dictation to defeat Howell.
Rolla S. Farnsworth, legal counsel
for Glasmnnn, is candidate for the
Weber County Attorneyship, and Bill.
true to his crooked methods, is not
supporting tho man who has devoted
his legal knowledge in his behalf. Bill
indorses Nathan j. Harris, the choice
of the church for the office. and will
throw Farnsworth down.
Bishop e. W. Wade, one of the war
horses of the Republican party in We
ber county, will quit. Machine politics,
he says, are distasteful to him.
Less than twenty-four hours In Sc

spending Wednesday night in Richheld
and about an hour Thursday morning
in Elsinore, the Congressman must have
concluded it was not worth whilo to
continue any further progress, hence
he started for tho north. While Rich
field had already selected an anti
Howell and anti everything else so far
as the Smoot political machine ls con-
cerned, Utah IS Representative in Con
support from other precincts In the
county, as the delegates to the State
convention are to be elected direct
from the precincts He solicited as
sistance from some Of the party leaders
there, but they refused to take any
part. Tho Republicans OF Sewer coun-

the methods of the State leaders are
disrupting the party, and from present
Indications will take o decided stand
at the State convention to destroy the
machine.
The Republican primaries were held
in Logan Thursday night. The predict
ed and threatened bolt on the part of
malcontents did not materialize. The
machine did It's work in perfect fash
ion, easily bringing into line all recalci-
trants and smashing into bits the anti
Howell faction. Unless the outside
towns Of the county shall do different

for Howell. 1t was supposed that
Christensen had few friends In Cache,
but as things now look Cache will not
give him a single vote. It has been
claimed that Fishburn could count on
n few supporters In Cache, but this
hope IS also vain. IF Howell was ever
in any danger in Cache the visit Of
Reed Smoot last Sunday TO Logan
seems to have completely annihilated
opposition and given the Congressman

The fight between Bullen and Hen
Erickson is assuming unexpected pro-

eye and will go into the convention to-
day to win. Should he be thrown down
his friends say he will resent the de-
feat at the polls. This, however, is not
probable, as he is good churchman,
a supporter Of Howell and friendly to
the machine.
Joe Smith was announced as a very
probable candidate for the Sheriff s
Office before the church Republican CON
vention. Mr.. Smith absolutely denies
that he is haukering after the position.
and says that he wouldn t have it even
if he could get ii. He claims that the
sheep industry, in which he ls interest
ed, is far more important to him than
Office.
