HOWELL LEADS
IN CLOSE FIGHT
Congressional Race of Repub-
leans Increases in Interest
as Convention Approaches.
COUNTY PRIMARIES HELD
INDEPENDENTS WORKING FOR
CHRISTENSEN'S NOMINATION.

With the state convention ten days
of the state is on the congressional
fight. Until recently Howell has had
everything his own way in the race.
and he still has good start on his only
active opponent, Farley p. Christensen
An independent Republican who has
made several campaigns throughout the
state said that as things were at present
Howell was practically sure of S4l del
egates and Chritensen OF the remaining
267. The state convention, which meets
in Salt Lake on Sept 10. will consist
of Sos delegates, requiring 305 votes to
nominate candidate. If the politicians
figures are accurate. Howell has a few
votes to spare.
Friends of Mr.. Christensen, however,
have not given up the fight, and hope
to be able to make the necessary trades
with counties who have aspirants for
state office TO secure enough delegates
to nominate Christensen. At present
delegates have been elected from Cache,
Summit, Sanpete, Juab. Willard, Beaver
and Wayne counties. Howell has the
Cache and Wayne delegations solid.
while Christensen will have practically
the entire vote of Sanpete. The other
counties are divided.
The insurgents have considered bring
ing out either Benner Y. Smith or
George n. Lawrence at the proper time
in order to beat both Howell and Chris
Jensen. Both of these men deny that
they are candidates for the place. How
ever. there is still the possibility that
one or the other of them will be sprung
as the dark horse of the convention.
Howell's strength lies in the sup
port of the federal machine. The OPP
ponents of the Smoot machine are lined
up for Christensen, because of the fact
that the machine men are supporting
Howell. Howell is on the slate provided
for the convention to nominate, and for
him the machine will, If necessary, fight
the hardest. The others in the Smoot-
Howell-Spry combination are said to
be c. s. Tingey of Juab. for secretary
of state; w. NJ. McCarty of Sewer, for
justice of the supreme court: David
Mattson of Weber, for state treasurer;
Walter Calderwood of Summit, for state
auditor: Willard Hanson of Salt Lake,
for attorney general. If these candi-
dates can deliver the delegations of the
counties to which they are accredited to
each other the success of the slate is, of
course, assured. The Christensen COM
bination is said to include Herbert E.
Snyln OF Sdnpete Tor state treasurer.
A. H. Jukes of Emery for state auditor
and A. r. Barnes of Salt Lake for at
torney general.
One of the arguments made by the
friends of Christensen in working for
his nomination for congress is that his
will add strength to the Re
publican ticket in Salt Lake county,
and make it possible for the Republi-
cans to retain control of the county. An
other is that the Democrats are working
for the nomination of Howell, because
they believe that he is the easier of the
two to defeat

UNIVERSITY NOTES.

Preparations for the beginning of the
school year at the state university VIII

for that purpose on Monday at 1920
o'clock. Professors and instructors
who have been out of town during the
summer have now returned. ami all, it

meeting. The regular WORK OF the uni

urday, and entrance examinations viii
be held on Wednesday AMI Thursday.
The state school of mines of the UNI
versity will issue this week the first OF
series of bulletins to q eal with the
materials used in the various Industries
of Utah. The plan behind the bulletins
is to make the equipment OF the uni
Versity laboratories ami the learning
and skill of the university instructors Of
practical service in the building up of
the state. This first bulletin deals with
the various kinds of building bricks
manufactured in Utah. and is The 'esult
of series of about 1000 tests made in
the mechanical laboratory last year am
der the supervision Of Professor r. III.
Beckstrand os the department OF me-
chanical engineering. The tests we're
on bricks manufactured In all parts Of
the state and by every method now i'll
common use. In the tests the Jniver
sity had the cooperation of the owners
of the brickyards. who furnished ma
terials for the tests. By machines pre-
pared especially for the purpose the
bricks were tested for their tensile,
crushing and shearing strength, for
their power to resist freezing and thaw-
ing and TO absorb water, and for their
chemical composition. The results
showed a wide variation in the qualities
of the bricks tested. OF general interest
are the conclusions drawn that wire-cut
brick is stronger than pressed brick,
and that machine-made brick (practi-
cally all bricks nowadays is machine
made) is far superior. especially in
weathering power. TO sand rolled brick.
The next bulletin of the series, to be
issued soon. will deal with the road ma

so honoring the patriot the French
government honored itself. Justi-

ficatiOn Of the champion of liberty
and justice rises a chorus of ap-
provai.
1t is not Zola, the novelist. that
France has at last so signaIIv and
deservedly honored; it is Zola, the
patriot. But the patriot, like the
prophet, may sometimes be re-
spected except in his own country.
When Zola rose to defend Drevfus

heroic patriotism of Zola proved it.
self. The conspiracy of prejudice
that sent Dreyfus to Devils Island
found in this self-sacrificing lover
of truth and country a powerful,
though almost solitary, counter
agent; and finally truth, personifed
by this master of the pen, prevailed.
Thus Zola taught not only his
fellow-countrymen but all the world
a lesson in ethical values. He might
have sat still and kept silent and
died in the odor of popularity and
been honored with Il slashing monu-
ment by ROdin. But he preferred

Travels High Tide.

No one on this side Of the ocean
is regretting the slump in immigra-
tion. But imagine, if you can, the
depths Of the dumps into which a
slump in american tourists would
plunge the tradesmen and hotel
keepers of Europe.
One of the American agents of a
German line figures that since the
first of the year 100000 laborers
have gone abroad and only 10000
have come over to this country.
Last year, in the same period,
nearly 100000 came across. How
ever, most of these immigrants
bring barely the price OF admission,
plus, of course, rich hopes to go
back some day and show the old
folks at home how sweet it is TO do
nothing.
But the steamship lines can al
ways depend upon the American
tourist. The ranks of ,he person
ally conducted keep growing year
by year. Some idealis1s still claim,
no doubt, that this is not the only
way TO see Europe; but manifestIy
it is better to see It by the hop-sldp-
and-iump method than not to see it
at all. The passion for travelling,
whether alone or with the family
or in the company Of fag-waving
citizens from the Panhandle and
Great Lakes, has done the Ameri-
can people a world of good. The
intelligent observation Of foreign
life has a leveling effect that is good
for the observer himself, and for
the world in general. 1t dulls con-
ceit and sharpens sympathy. The
Japanese have taken a leaf out Of
the American book in this respect,
and in the last few years have be-
gun to travel fast and far. We
have seen some Of these novel par
ties here in Washington.
From now until the fall Ameri-
cans will spend millions of dollars
in Europe; but it is hardly open to
question that the extravaganza
which some people deprecate is not
more than offset by the inestimably
beneficial impressions received by
the thousands who keep their eyes
and ears rather than their purses
open, and who bring these impress
sions back to improve the stay-at-
homes.
The Washington times., 1908-06-07
The "DOng-DOng" Wagons.

In nine cases of out of ten the
dong-dong of the police patrol
wagons, the street railway repair
wagons, and the hospital ambu-
lances tells the story Of unneces-
sary speed. What a farce it is to
have a hospital driver run down a
citizen in perfect health for fear
the ambulance may arrive too late
10 help some mau who may possibly
need instant medical attention!
And the situation is not improved
when it is a patrol wagon going
after drunk" or a street railway
repair wagon sent out to serve the
convenience Of the passengers in
certain cars then tied up.
So the ruling of the Corporation
Counsel should be put in force by
the District Commissioners when he
says that these vehicles, but not the
fire engines, are subject TO every
regulation which governs automo-
biles or delivery wagons. The spe-
cial need for speed cannot be con
sidered alone. It must be weighed
with the need for the safety of the
public.
