strengthen the ticket by acting as though
he believed the Republicans could win.
One familiar figure will be missed from
the various church Republican conven-
tions this fall. In the person OF o, H.
Hewlett, who says that he Is out OF poll
tics, and out for good In the old days
there would have been some hesitancy

by the secretary was the faro room III
the old days, and the two reception
rooms were used respectively for poker
and sideboards. However, considering
the character Of the game which Smoot Is
now to run In the rooms, 1t Will be con-
siderably nearer the sure thing than
that OF the old days. Instead OF the
bank rolf being touched. 1t Will be the
tithing barrel.

ty Recorder before the American con-
vention.
Frank r. Christensen, clerk of the

The announcement that ]. D. Skeen.
who has shown his conception of the
duty of a citizen by getting out and
prosecuting public officials for graft, with
his own money, would probably be forced
to accept an independent nomination for
the once of County Attorney Of Weber
county, has been hailed gladly by all
decent citizens In that county. II nom

bring many a corrupt onlclal to the bar

one being Nathan ]. Harris; that the
Church Republican State Central COM

that convention meets Mr.. Harris will
be the candidate Of the brethren. Mr.
