BOTH SIDES SAY THEY
WON AT PRIMARIES
Continued From PAGE /

that the small fry would fall into line
upon witnessing the terrible fate of those
whom they had looked upon TO guide them /
in their struggle
The fight in the Fifteenth district had l
some peculiar features. George Buckle, t
ST., chairman of the district, and Farley /
p. Christensen were defeated. while /
George Buckle, jr.. and A. B. Elder were
successful AS the Insurgents claim /
that Buckle jr., Elder and Christensen /
belong 10 their ranks. the result OF the |
fight at the primaries has left some poll
ticians puzzled. The fate of Mr.. Chris 4
Jensen, It is said. can only be explained |
on the ASSUMPTION that his congressman
aspirations were distasteful 10 the leaders
of the regulars" because of his suspect /
ed sympa thies for the Insurgents ana /
for that reason they failed to make a Wig
orous fight for Mr.. Buckle, sr.. allowing
him to go Gown to defeat with Christen-
sen. 1t is said that Mr.. Buckle. ST., was
TO party to this arrangement. He made
hard fight to prevent the success of his
''insurgent' son. even going so far as TO
block the efforts of the district Republi-
cans TO secure the election of new
chairman, or compel Mr.. Buckle. sr. 10
secure support Of majority of the voters
of the district. by adopting what were
described as the tactics of Gar Tom Reed,
Mr.. buckle. sr-. succeeded in remaining
in the chair. but he was not able to
escape sharing the fate to which MI
Christensen was doomed.
There were thirty seven voters at the
| primary. OF these, sixteen were partlsans
of tie strangely matched pair. Mr.. CHRIS
| Jensen and Mr.. Rnokle. sr.. while the re-
I naming .tWenty-ope were insurgents
who apparently had not been won by Mr..
| Christensen's secret affection or his con-
gressiOnal aspirations.
Fight in the Fourth.
There was another big fight in the
| Fourth district. The regulars were out
with all their strength to crush Steve A
KStanfoTd. FOrty-five votes were cast
| Stanford received y and n. II. Tanner "a
| AS in the Fifteenth district, queer under
| ground manipulatiOns were alleged. Stan
4 ford claims that he would certainly have
| been elected delegate to the state and
| the judicial conventions had Tanner not
| effected a secret combination with Stan
| ley Price, who Stanford says, has been
| looked upon as an ''insurgent.
| 1t was the same story in other districts
| Men who went down to defeat on both
| sides alleged that they had fallen victims
to intrigue and had been stricken by men
| who should have stood back to back with
| them against the enemy.
| Outside of Salt Lake, in the county.
there were the same ups and downs
| among the insurgents and the ''regu-
| lars" d. o. Rideout, 'insurgent," won
| at Draper by fifteen votes; S. Ii. Love,
| 'insurgent," lost at Forest Dale by ten
| votes. and so it went from town to town.
In the Twenty-siXth district H. j. ROBIN
| SON. an ''insurgent." was elected delegate
| to the judicial convention, receiving sixty
| two of the eightyfiVe votes cast. Inc
I
the state convention, and J. IL MCLaln
| was elected by vote of twenty-one'
the insurgents" refusing TO vote Tor
him.
! Regret was expressed by the ''insur-
gents that they had failed to make
fight to name delegates to both conVen-
tons as the victory in the TWenty-slNth
while unexpected. was one of the most
of the insurgents" w. r. Visus' who
was defeated by Robinson, received TWEEN
ty-three votes.
