~ informal discussion of coming party
rolicIes. one was the matter OF select
INC deleagtes TO the national Republic
can convention, whether it would be
better TO choose six from the state at

United States senator in the conven-
tion, or in the legislature. and another
was to estimate the probable vote In
the state this fall.

ANOTHER CANDIDATE.
l. n. Anderson. mayor of Manti. has
announced himself a candidate for the
position of state treasurer, on the Re-
publican ticket.
"A thing much more certain than that
! shall be candidate" said Mr.. An
deIson today, rs that our county that
IS ssnpete county. will come into the
convention demanding the office as it's
portion OF the positions on the ticket.
How fully the southern counties are
lined upon this proposition is yet to,
appear. State Treasurer Christensen
halls from the south and secured the
nomination on sentiment that that
section was entitled to the position.
His strongest opponent came from We
Der county.
