REPUBLICANS
CRY FOR FUSION
Beg the Democrats to Let
Them Have a Few County
Offices.
APPEAL MEETS REJECTION
UTAH COUNTY UNINTERRUPTED"
PUT TICKET IN THE FIELD.

Convinced that there is no show for
them TO win in Salt Lake county, the Re
publican leaders have renewed overtureS
to the Democrats for fusion in the hope
OF saving a few offices for the Smoot
machine. The Democrats approached
have rejected all such overtures. They
feel certain of success and see no reason
why some of the offices should be given
10 the minority party.
Several feelerS have been put out from
time to time by leading Republicans who
sought TO find if there was any hope to
get into the successful band wagon. The
feelerS did not meet a cordial reception
quite 10 the contrary. The efforts of the
desperate Smootites eliminated yesterday
in direct proposition. 1t came from "A
prominent SmoOt machine man to Demo-
cratic County Chairman NJ F. Cunning
ham and State Chairman L. r. Mar
tineau. The proposition was rejected
without any mincing of words.
The emiSsary virtually admitted that
there was little hope for Republican sue
cess this fall but said a combination of
Republicans and Democrats would beat
the Americans" in Salt Lake county He
asked if some arrangement could not be
made to let a few Republicans on the
Democratic ticket and then the Repub-
licanS would not put a ticket in the field.
He was not particular whether the com
binatjQn ticket should be called Demo
cratic or Fusion so long as a deal
could be made for a few of the offices.
Mr.. Martineau and Mr.. Cunningham
told them they would not entertain such
a proposition for a minute. They in
formed him that the Democratic party
was fighting SmOot and his machine just
as much it was fighting kearns and
his machine. There would be no cOmpro-
mise with either. The Democrats eX-
pected to carry the county this fall. and
IL the Republicans were afraid the Amer
leans would win, the only thing for
them to do would be to vote the Demo
cratic ticket. as large numbers Of Re
/ pub!icans had already declared they in
! tended to do.
There were rumorS again yesterday OF
plan afoot to put citizens ticket in
! the field. The names of several men O.
/ prominence were mentioned as fathering
/ the movement but each and every one
| diSciaimed all knowledge of il.
