bent. Four years ago Livingstone and
johnson, former judge in the Seventh, got
into factional fight, with the result that
Livingstone was slaughtered at the polls
by so-called Republicans, who went in a
swarm for Erickson. Among these, it is
alleged by Livingstone, was Christensen.
Early in the political game this year, Liv-
ingstone declared himself against any of
thedormer boilers, Christensen in particu-
lar. He went into Sanpete recently among
his friends, and on Friday and yesterday
was at Price His program was to nomi-
nate F. z. Woods of Castledate for judge
and Lewis Larson for district attorney.
That he was successful is shown in the
fact that out of the Sanpete delegation
there We're thirteen who were ready at any
time to vote for Woods, while the eleven
delegates from Emery, ten from Carbon,
four from Grand and on from San Juan,
thirty-nine in all, were solid for Woods.
There were sixty-three delegates in the
convention. The situation was passed up
to Woods, who was willing to serve his
party. and he would have been the nomi-
nee of the convention for judge instead or
district attorney, had it not been for II.
T. Hanes, editor of the Emery County
Progress and chairman of the Republican
party in Emery county. When Woods
would not take il. why Livingstone most
gracefully came ott for the nominee, but
this doesn't signify that the Sanpete Re
publicans by any means are without their

Effective work and systematic cam
paign is going to be waged this year by
the Democrats in this county and they
are going to make the biggest effort
known in Sanpete politics to gain at least
a portion of the victory at the polls
The Democracy of this city and county
feel encouraged this year more than ever
before because of the troubles among the
Republicans. and they feel sure that much
assistance will be given them by the class
Of Republicans who will not stand for
bossism and dictation in political affairs.
Since the returns from the Republican
district convention at Price yesterday
considerable discussion has been going on
among Republicans which has not alto
gether been favorable for Republican sue
cess.
The raise in the salaries of county Of
ficers by the present Republican admin
istration does not seem to take well with
either party and will have its effect in
the election. Altogether there seems to be
a general dissatisfaction and unrest polit-
ically in this county.
The troubles in Fairview, where two
factions. headed by Sven O. Nielsen and
Sidney Sanderson, are in bitter opposition.

HOT JUDICIAL CONTEST.
Booth and Houtz After Nomination
in Fourth District.

Provo. Sept. l3.-The fight for the Re-
publican nomination of the Fourth judi
cial Judge promises to be hot one. II
assures a division in the Republican
ranks The methods that are being re-
sorted to are offensive to party members,
to say the least. Judge A. l.. Booth is
out for denomination and D. D. Houtz.
district attorney. is hot on his heels. Both
men have reinforced pluggers out using
The necessary ammunition. Houtz forces
are accused of making contracts with the
sporty" elements. while Judge Booth Is
said to say a few words for himself while
out i'm home missionary work.
At the Republican primaries. which were
held the other night. representatives of
each faction fought for supremacy. In
Provo the factions are about equally Oh
vided, although each faction claims the
lead. In the Fifth ward the strongest
fight was waged. Over three hours was
occupied in selecting eight delegates. Bit
ter words were a feature and general dis
union reigned One prominent Republican
said: II have heard of this clique rule

ated as | did this evening. l will have

the Republican party. He was on the
Democratic ticket several times for dif-
ferent offices but was defeated. 1t is ar
gued that the only reason for his flop
was to get political position. II appears
that the local Republican manipuators
are hardly in favor of the election of Mr..
HoutZ- This may affect the chances of
the district attorney. Any way the fight
ends the party will be badly split. The
Houtz faction will not stand for the Sun
day evening campaign which. Judge Booth
is supposed to be directing. The Booth
clique are opposed to the methods of the
HoutZ crowd. Whichever way the wind
blows on the convention day there will be

JEWKES THEIR MAN.
Every County Delegate Here With

One OF the first delegations to the Re

object appears to be the nomination OF

of the chief boosters OF the eastern Titan
forces Is VIII ]. Seely of Castledale, who

machine program will be held at the Salt
Lake theatre Tuesday beginning at 10
o'clock. according TO weil-informed Re-
publican
For time Howell was badly scared.
but by effecting a combine with Spry and
McCarty his anxiety has been relieved.
The deal was made last Friday at meet
Ing between Spry and McCarty and two of
the lesser lights in the Smoot crowd. The
thing was quickly done. for the confer
ence lasted less than fifteen minutes. Spry
represented himself and Howell, whose
campaign he has been managing. The
proposition was made to Judge McCarty
10 Join his forces with the machine crowd.
They say that Judge McCarty became
alarmed at the way things were going and
insisted on having an understanding
II is unlikely. says this informant, that
any such intimate relations would have
been established between McCarty and the
agents OF the federal bunch had not the
chief Justice of the supreme court devel-
oped bad case of fright Friday when ii
was whispered about that Attorney Gen
eral Breeder would be the beneficiary of
the Smoot gangs strength. Before the
sun went down that day the judge. who
Incidentally waged a newspaper fight on
Senator Sutherland and his following two
years ago, was In the arms of Marshal
Spry. He agreed 10 deliver the doubtful
delega tons from the southern counties to
Howell and in return Spry for himself and
Howell guaranteed Cache and the other
northern counties for McCarty.
Still writing on the authority of the Re
publican who divulges these profound Sc
crets. IL may be said that the only hitch
in the program with reference to the put
ting through of the slate herewith given
Is that there may be a Encouragement of
the candidates for treasurer and attorney
general. He says that If Weber county
insists on having David Mattson for state
treasurer Judge Eurphy will be retired !;
in which event the attorney generalshp
will be given to Salt Lake. In this city
there are three candidates for that place
Harry j. Robinson, Willard Hanson and
Albert Barnes to say nothing of Major
Breeder Barnes. il is said, started once
TO join the american" club. and Hanson
is suspected of being allied two years ago
with the Independent Labor party, thus
leaving Robinson the only true blue
dyed-in-the-coal-oil Republican in the
bunch
II is said, too, by this compendium of
knowledge that Dave Mattson has been
willing to- trade any way and every way,
and that the rank and file are becoming
suspicious as TO his sincerity. So, If Par
ley White gets the treasurership, Judge
Murphy will get the attorney generalship;
but if MattsOn gets the treasurership the
attorney generalship will come 10 Salt

CANDIDATES ARE WORRIED.
Plan of Some Democratic Lawyers
Arouses Nominees for Bench.

The naming of the candidates for judges
OF the Third judicial district on the Dem
ocratic ticket is causing considerable
worry among the nominees on the Amer
lean" and Republican tickets. 1t has been
proposed and seriously considered by
some prominent Democratic lawyers who
are anxious to have strong bench to
indorse two of the judicial candidates
from the Republican ticket and two from
tho American" party ticket. The men
whom II has been proposed under this
plan 10 place on the Democratic ticket
are Charles w. Morse and Thomas ID.
Lewis OF the Republican party. and Will
liam II. Bramel and George F. Goodwin
of the American" party. This proposal
has given Allan T. Sanford and Morris
l. Ritche a sinking feeling in the vicin-
ity of the solar pleXus and George NJ.
Sullivan has also passed some sleepless
nights while pOndering over the POSSIBLE
tiles of this action being carried out.
George G. Armstrong. the remaining Re
publican candidate. has as yet shown no
trepidation concerning the rumor. 1t Is
understood that Sanford and Richie have
formed an alliance for their mutual pro-
lection 1t is also stated that Richie is
endeavoring TO gain touch with the DEM
ocrats through Bernard ]. Stewart. The
placing of Morse. Lewis, Bramel and
Goodwin on the Democratic ticket would

Uintah and Wasatch, which belong to this
district. and it is said that the same meth
DDS of vote getting are being used in these
counties. The Houtz faction claims that
undue ecclesiastical influence is being ex-
ercised in the outside counties as well as
locally. When this is denied by the Booth
crowd. the Houtz people point to the cleo
ton of President Joseph B. Keller and
George Brimhall of Utah stake as dele
gates. Judge Booth being a member of
the high council, it is claimed that the
local church authorities are for his cleo
ton.
Another feature of the fight that seems
to open the sores of the old Republicans
is the fact that Houtz recently entered
