The French PLAY Feb. 18th.

An unusual opportunity to heal
some of the 18th century music
win be given on Saturday night,
Feb. 10Th. at the French play.
The music for "Le Bourgeois
Gentilhomme," was written by
Lulli, the greatest Of the French
composers Of his century.
No less person than Louis
XIV danced in his ballots. Lulli
was the creator of the French
opera, developed the overture.
and introduced many improve
ments in the orchestra. Lulli
himself acted the musical role in
the Turkish ceremony in lie

ONE BIG CAMPAIGN is STILL ON
AND WILL CONTINUE THREE WEEKS
Election Offers More Advantages
Political Aena-Chances Politicians Benefit
Community ntere Manifesng Itself Competition

Important though the issues in the
election decided Tuesday We're. another
campaign, even more important in its
direct bearing on many persons in the
intermountain country is still on. and
on il earnest. The Herald's Popular
Prize Election has still three weeks to
run. and interest in it is increasing
daily.
Candidates in different parts of the
field are now getting aligned so that
the varying phases of the contest are
coming to have a distinct community
interest for the people in the places
where the candidates reside. and al
ready spirited, though friendly, rivalry
is developing
Many of the candidates are so close
together and are progressing along
lines SO similar that the remaining
weeks of the campaign promise to be
exciting. For instance, Oxford, Idaho's,
candidate, w. F. Fisher, winner of one
of the special prizes in the competition
that ended last week, has a standing of
1896, as against Logan. Utahs, can
didate, Joseph Newbold, jr., with %. 40;
Eureka's candidate, Adam Schweigert,
with 23,l45, and Kimberly, Idaho's,
candidate, H. d. Scott, with $50
These men are not by any means the
only rivals in the contest, but they
have been selected as typical in vary
ing districts to show how close the con-
test is and how easy it still is to take
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1908-11-05

the lead in any one of several districts.
1t is not to be presumed, however,
that the progressive candidates will be
satisfied to aim only at district prize,
desirable as those prizes are, when the
much more desirable capital and grand
prizes are still open to competition and
are within the reach of any candidate
who will hustle around diligently
among friends and acquaintance. Only
a few subscriptions make a mighty diff
ference in the standing of candidates.
1t is possible TO play politics" in this
contest, as well as in the political arena
but here the politics" must be along
legitimate lines. ThereiS no chance for
ring rule" ballot box stuffing," Gin
timidation,' coercion" or the like, but
it is entirely possible-and entirely
propsr-to take advantage of fortuitous
circumstances, arguments, acquaint-
ance and other elements that play so
important a part in politics.
This contest has an advantage over
the political contest in another particu-
lar, however. When a candidate fails
to get the office he aimed at in politics.
he is out of the running until another
campaign comes along. But in this con-
test one may fail to win the big prize
and still have a dozen or more chances
to get something of almost as much
value This is merely one of the many
attractive features that have made The
Herald's great contest famous among
newspaper contests.

rection taken was due north over the
Montana division of the Oregon Short

that work.

ton of the Montana division the party
will return to Pocatello and go over the
Idaho, Utah and Salt Lake divisions in
turn. They Will later start from Ogden

SUITS ARE TRANSFERRED.
Shippers of Livestock Ask Damages
From Railroad Companies.

Two suits instituted in the district
court at Ogden were yesterday trans
ferred TO the district court In this coun-
ty. One is that of NJ A. Thomas
against the Union Pacific and the Ore
gon Short Line Thomas says he
shipped from Opal, Wyo., on Oct. "a.
1906. 1,2s6 head of sheep. The sheep
were destined 10 Omaha. They were
kept on the road approximately forty
eight hours. he says, and fifteen of
them died and many were injured. He
claims that the company violated the
federal law. which says that livestock
shall not be kept in transit longer than
twenty-eight hours without unloading
for feed and water
The other suit is that of Charles Ia
Fevre and Alex Burnett against the
Union Pacific. They say they shipped
twenty-one carloads, els head, of cat
tie from Green River, Wyo. to Omaha.
on Sept. Il. 1907. The stock was held
on the road without care for forty
hours, it is alleged. The shrinkage re-
suited in damage to the extent OF So,

The reason for the transfer is that
the main offices of the defendants are
in Salt Lake.
