fat road is completed through the worst
part of the Rocky mountains and is
moving westward, the discussion of the
manner in which the line will event.

The general impression is that the line
will approach Salt Lake from the south.
through Provo although there are some
who advance the opinion that Emigra-
ton canyon, through which the new
electric line is now being extended, will
be used. 1t has even been limited that
there is a possibility that the Moffat
line might get into Salt Lake over the
Salt Lake & Ogden, but this has been
denied by Simon Bamberger. Rail-
road men say that the arrival OF the
Moffat road here is still somewhat
remote proposition.
After blasting, boring and climbing
through the Rocky mountains for five
years, the Moffat road is now past the
worst problems of road construction
which its builders had to face, and from
now on the work will be great deal
easier. 1t will also move a great deal
faster, for the country now stretching

DEMOCRATS Will
ORGANIZE CLUBS
State Chairman L. R. Mar

PREDICTS BRYAN VICTORY
VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN PLANNED
BY ENERGETIC POLITICIANS.

The movement to organize Bryan
clubs in every county of the state Is
taking form and it is expected that by
the first of September these clubs will
be taking an active part in state and
national politics. Democrats from all
sections of the state are hopeful that
Utah will be for Bryan this year. and a
sincere effort will be made to make his
majority in the state as large as posi-
BILE.
In Salt Lake preliminary arrange
ments are being made for the orSaniza-
ton of such a club and its first meet
ing is to be held soon. The purpose of
the Bryan clubs is to arouse enthu-
siasm and to assist in the detail of the
national, state and county campaigns in
Utah.
Urges Bryan Clubs.
The following letter written by L. r.
Martineau, state Democratic chairman
has been sent to all of the county chair
men in the state:
"Only about ninety days remain be-
fore the people will have an opportu-
nifty to record their preference for VIII
liam j. Bryan and the imperishable
principles of the Democratic party. 1t
is of the Utmost Importance that every
opportunity be afforded young voters
and others to read and study the DEM
ocratic platform, and to become active
| ly identified with its support. AS the
| best means to this end / urge the i'm
mediate organization in your county of
| Bryan Democratic clubs Secure a
| meeting place and hold weekly meet
| ings, even if it be at private residences.
The members of the club should in
clude women and young people who
may not yet have reached the voting
age. A small membership fee would
provide q fund for expenses. Dances
or other sociables with music and re-
| freshments would add to the interest
and enthusiasm. If found practicable.
get a band of music or drum corps. but
1 especially urge the value of sociables.
| 1T is my belief that for several years
past the full Democratic vote has not
been recorded. Many Democrats have
remained away from the polls on cleo
ton day and as a result the majority In
| favor of the Republican party seemed
greater than it really should have been.
| This year things appear vastly diff
| ferent. We have every reason to believe
| that William J. Bryan will be elected
by a tremendous landslide. 1t is for us
in Utah TO be in the glorious victory.
| Can We? Yes, If we will work. Do not
wait. but organize Bryan clubs al
| once"

Colored Voters Organize.

A committee of colored Democrats
of Salt Lake called on L. r. Martineau
Democratic state chairman, yesterday
and told him that a colored Demo
cratic club in this city was in the pro-
cess of organization. They said that
the colored voters Of Salt Lake were
almost solid for Bryan, and that it was
their purpose to organize and to en-
deavor to get every colored voter in the
city to support the Democratic ticket.

HIS EARLY LIFE.

Frank Russinger will not be without
legal assistance when he comes to trial
for the shooting of DR." Thomas Wal
lace. Yesterday there were many of his
friends at the Jail to see him, assure
him of their friendship and offer any
assistance possible
Bussinger, who is considerably past
three score years old. does not look like
murderous character. His form has
lost its erectnesS, his actions are not
agile, and he shows none of the vigor
which his friends say was one of his
characteristics few years ago, but the
strangest feature of the case is the fact
that he is almost blind. His eyes are
so nearly useless that he has been
forced to give UP the use of his violin
except as he plays by ear. He has been
forced to give up his teaching of instru-
mental music, but he has been giving
vocal lessons.
He is a member of the Swiss Benev-
olent society, and many of the men,
bers of that organization visited him
at his cell yesterday. He was leader of
the Harmonic" and many of his asso-
ciates in that society made calls upon
him. All express surprise that he
should commit such an offense and say
they do not see how he was able 10
shoot with such accuracy considering
the condition of his eyes.
Fritz Kohler, an engineer who visited
Bussinger at the jail, said: II could
not believe that it was Frank. There
was never a more peaceable man than
he. Besides, he is almost blind, and
cannot see across the street. 1 knew
him in Switzerland fifty years ago,
when we were boys together.

friends or funds. He is also leader of

as a whole will take no action he will
receive help from all members as in
diViduals.
Frank came to America several
years ahead of me, and i lost all trace
of him until about twenty-five years

before my wedding day in New York.

The last statement seems to expires;
the consensus of sentiment of those
who know him. "Dr." Wallace. his

Compared With Last Year.
Salt Lake coal dealers say that at
this time last year between 10000 and
so 900 tons of coal had been stored in
Salt Lake, but up to the present prac-
tically no coal has been stored. Speak
ing of the situation, a prominent coal
dealer said yesterday:
LAS the 10000 or $4,000 tons of coal
that were stored before this time last
year must be shipped between now and
fall, along with the remainder of Salt
Lakes winter supply of coal, there is
little doubt that there will be a car
shortage and a possible coal famine this
winter. The coal dealers will do all
they can to prevent such a condltlon,
but their facilities will scarcely prove
adequate to prevent congested condl-
ton in the fall. Few persons are now
storing coal This means that later In
the season there will be rush which
