AuuilIa Nebeker Has Never Been
A Candidate for Nomination
As Governor.
MARTlNEAU FOR THE OFFICE,
Congressional Nomination VIII Prob
ably BE Handed TO Frank u.
stephens of salt Lake,

When you discuss Democratic politics,
look out from what print you take your
information, The scribes are badly
mixed these days to know what way
the Democratic wind blows, and they
are writing from the midst OF their
confusion, strange and unusual con-
illusions
Therefore the words of Lyman r.
Martlneau are of Importance, since they
may set right again the matters that
have gone strangely awry.
In the first place Aquilla Nebeker Is
not and never has been a candidate
for nomination as governor on the
Democratic ticket. Aquilla, moreover
Is out of politics, and hasn't shown tho
least disposition to get in.
The Aquilla Nebeker boom got a false
start all because there was u Demo-
cratic state committee meeting in this
city, and scribes who were not present,
wrote words about Frank Nebeker,
who was therein elected national COM
mitteeman, 10 the effect that he would
like the title of governor Other scribes
caught up the name of Nebeker, ana
pinned it on to the older generation
thus bringing forth the Aquilla Nebe-
ker gubernatorial boom, a false start
for a Martineau congressional boom oc-
curing at the same time.
MARTINEAUs CHANCES.
Dscarding all notion of the Nebelxer
boom, Mr.. Aqullla Is left tending his
farm and seeking experience with
the Bear Lake monster while Frank
Nebeker is to be considered as a reput-
ed possible family candidate.
No, 1t is not he who is thinking of
the governors toga, either, any mora
than Lyman r. Martineau, state chair
Ia of IN (lnnUrRGN
The fact that got so badly twisted
about that Democratic state committee
meeting was that the only simon pure
and -everyone-endorsed candidate
for governor was Lyman X. Martineau,
himself. That boom for Congress, that
was tackled ON to Mr.. Martneau, was
actually a private possession of Frank
Nebeker, and this year is not the year
IL was to be launched. 1t was a matter
of ultimate futures, and not immediate
plannings.
Mr.. Nebeker-Frank Nebeker-has
given it out through his friends several
times that he is not candidate this
year for any honor other than that he
has already secured,
This makes the talked of ticket then:
For ACKNOWLEDGMENT r. Martineau.
For OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of the
Nebekers but

| tional committeeman.
STEPHENS FOR CONGRESS.
The Frank Il, stephens boom for Con-
| gress Is not of his own starting, but ii
| figured largely before the national COM
| mitteeship was settled, since state COM
mitteemen largely voted in that case
| accordingly as they preferred to divide
| these two honors. That Stephens has
| the leaders OF his party back of him
| for the congressional nomination Is a
| certainty, and the editorial paragraph
| ing occasioned by the mistakes in per-
| sonnet of aspirants, only causes the
| Democrats to smile, and wonder at the
| queerness of the divergence between
| the facts and the alleged record OF
| them.
The only probability of a Nebeker
| nomination Is a nomination for the SUI
| preme bench, which a number of Demo-
| Gratis are thinking of foisting upon
| Frank.
| outside of the position of governor
| and CONGRESSMAN, candidates for other
| state offices are not yet out of the woods
| on the Democratic side, while the Re-
publican column Is fairly full for the
| entire ticket
