a Salt Lake Booster.

Owing to the many requests for the
Cans Nelson picture that was shown at
the Elite theatre last week, Mr.. Max
Florence. the president and manager of
the Elite Theatre company, has decided
to bring the picture back to Salt Lake,
and will show it at the Crystal theatre
on South Main street for one week,
commencing Oct. 8, continually from
to II p. m. daily. In order that all
may see this great picture, Mr.. Flor
ence is making prices of and 10 cents
at all performances.
On account of previous contracts for
special pictures for conference week az
the Elite theatre, Mr.. Florence was
compelled to procure the Crystal thea
ire on South Main street at the enOr-
nous expense of 500 per day rent, and
the picture at $500 per week rent.
On account of the limited seating ca
pacity at the Elite last week, and so
many patrons being unable to see this
picture, Mr.. Florence is doing this to
please them all, and in so doing shows
his aggressiveness and willingness to
please the public, and is proving him
self a Salt Lake Booster.
IF money gets it, the Elite Theatre
company certainly has it,"

ELDREDGE AGAIN.
County Chairman Reelected Against
His Own Desires.

In spite of the fact that he tried hard
to avoid the conduct of a losing cam
paign in Salt Lake county, ]. L. Ed
redge, jr., was reelected Republican
county chairman at a meeting of the
county committee at the Republican
county headquarters in the Atlas block
last evening. Mr.. Eldredge declared after
the Republican county convention on
Tuesday that he was through with the
campaign and that he would refuse TO
manage the campaign of the candidates,
to whom he was personally opposed.
Great pressure was brought to bear how
ever, and finally when he was unanimous
ly reelected he consented to take the DO
sition through the campaign.
At the meeting of the county committee
fourteen of the fifteen committeeman
and nearly all of the Republican candi-
dates We're present. After Mr. Eldredge

man he was empowered to appoint the
secretary of the committee and the eX-
ecutive and finance committees. He ap-
pointed Burl Armstrong. political writer
of the Intermountain Republican. secre-
tary. and said he would announce his
committees in few days. He issued a
letter to the district chairmen requesting
that the names of the canvaSSers from
each district be sent to headquarters i'm
mediately. The committee. thanked the
Young Mems Republican club for the use
of the rooms in the Atlas block as head
quarters and made arrangements to have
the headquarters in these rooms through
the campaign.

FAIR A SUCCESS
IS THE VERDICT
Seven Thousand Persons At
tend Exposition and Enjoy
Its Many Features.

There is no longer any doubt in the
minds of the people managing the Four
County fair, which opened here We'd
nesday, as to whether or not the under
taking will be a success. The belief of
of attractions, in addition to a second-to-
none list of exhibits, would draw the
people has proven to be true, and the
complete success of the fair is now as
sured. The number Of people attending
the fair yesterday numbered about LGO0,
an increase of at least 1000 over the day
previous.
Everything in the way of a CONNER
cial exhibit was in place yesterday and
a marked Improvement in the exhibits
was the result. All of the stock and
poultry has also arrived and the space al
lotted to this part of the attraction is
filled to overlooking. A number of huge
tents has been set in place for the ac-
commodation of the late arrivals.
Early yesterday morning the crowd be-
gan to wend its way out to the grounds,
and long before the time set for the
first races the large grand stand was
filled to OVERLOOKING Owing to the in
experience of some of the men on the
gates, both at the general gates and at
the grand stand, some inconvenience was
caused to the patrons, but Tor the most
mart it was taken good-naturedly, and
the complaints reaching the management
were few.
SandWiched IN between IIle nurse races
were the many free attractions and the
musical numbers. These served to keep
the crowd entertained during the delay
between the different heats of the races.
The horse racing was naturally the lea
ture of the second day outside of the
address delivered by Senator ]. P. Gore,
the blind senator from Oklahoma, VINO
addressed a large assemblage at O'Clock.
The original arrangement was for Mr..
Gore to speak from the city hail steps,
but this was changed during the day. ii
being thought that he would reach more
people at the fair grounds.
Another attraction has been added &c
the long list already provided for Satur-
day, the last day of the fair, in the form
of a baseball contest between the Uni
yersity of Utah and the Ogden high
school. The game will be called at 1873
| o'clock Saturday morning. This is the
| only athletic event on the program:
Last evening thousands visited the fai1

off in the center of the race track en-

did not charge an extra price for admis-
| sion to the grand stand and it was filled

tons drew large crowds

EVERYONE FOR BURBIDeE.
Members of All Parties Are Working
for His Election

That Captain John B. Burbidge will be
the next sheriff of Salt Lake county is
practically an assured fact. Americans.
Republicans, Democrats. throwing aside
party affiliations. are already declaring
for the popular police officer He is much
more popular with the Republicans than
their own candidate, Joseph Sharp,
the McWhirter robbery was such a bun
gle that it made the administration of the
sheriff's office huge joke.
With the Americans Captain Bur
bidge is also strong candidate. The aG-
ton of the leaders of the American
party in forcing him out of his office as
police captain is resented by a large ma
jOrity of the American" party. Within
this party there is already an organized
movement for Burbidge. Several men and
women of influence among the Amer
leans are working hard for his election.

The OREGON Election.

There Is something peculiarly signif-
cant in the Democratic victory in Oregon.
though, perhaps. It viii not do 20 attach
too much Importance to the election
which results in the sending OF Gov
George E. Chamberlain to the United
States Senate. Normally. at least in ma
tional campaigns, oregon is in the Re-
publican column. In 1904 when President
Roosevelt carried the State by a plu-
rality of 1900. Gov. Chamberlain can
tured the governorship by a plurality of
PAS. Two years earlier he had received
the Office by a plurality OF 276. Now he Is
elected to the United States Senate by
popular plurality estimated at 1000.
Undoubtedly. as in the case Of Gov
johnson. of Minnesota. the personal ele-
ment entered largely into this result in
oregon. But there is a different signif-
canoe than If this election dealt merely
with local issues. That was the case.
perhaps when Gov. Chamberlain ran for
the gOvernorship. and national issues
iAidg Hdlhiy nave Deen COOSlQ2reQ. But
the recent election was direct appeal
to the people, who in Oregon elect United
States Senators by popular vote on Is
sues that were as purely national as
those between which the people will de-
eide in the coming Presidential campaign.
And in face of those facts. the Repub
leans Of Oregon. who gave Mr. Roose-
welt plurality Of 5000. have been IN
able to prevent the election Of popular
Democrat.
1t may be taken, we think, that the
result Of the Oregon election shows that
more and more the voters OF the country
are doing their own thinking. and hold
themselves independent of party. A ma
jority Of the citizens Of Oregon may call
themselves Republicans, but It is un-
doubted that in principle. they are
strongly Democratic in their principles
OF government They have shown this
by their adoption Of political innovations
such as the initiative and referendum.

BRYAN,s BAND WAGON.
Now Making It's Final Rounds.
Jump On.

Prom the Chqrleston Post
The Bryan band wagon. in its rounds
last week took on all the passengers who
were bound for Denver. Not SINGLE
delegate elected during the week was dis
posed to support anybody other than the
Nebraskan.
There were So delegates elected to the
Democratic national conventgon. OF these,
80 were definitely instructed 70 vote for
the nomination Of Bryan and the other
eight. though not instructed. were openly
pledged TO support Bryans candidacy.
Mr. Bryan now has 543 delegates bound to
him by instruction, and 20 more who are
determined 70 vote for him on their own
motion. That puts him within 50 votes
OF the nomination. and there are more
coming his way. Three hundred and
seven delegates are yet 10 be elected. and
OF these Isl are counted upon as prac-
tically certain to be Bryan supporters: II
these materialize Bryan viii have 20
votes assured on the first ballot. SO more
than are needed 10 nominate, and he will
probably be made the candidate by acela-
nation. II the majority rule for nOmina-
tons prevailed in Democratic conventions.
40 II SAOulu prevail llSltdu VI the lWD-
thirds rule. Bryan would now have Of
instructed delegates % more than enough
TO insure his nomination.
The failure OF the opposition TO cap
ture single delegate last week in the
three State conventions that were held
IS significant of the developments Of the
situation. The opposition has practically
retired from the field, after having been
most thoroughly-not to say ingloriousiy-
beaten. The effort to make Johnson. OF
Minnesota, a candidate has utterly col
lapsed. Except for the support OF HIS
own State Johnson would not be even
mentioned as a candidate. He has not Sc
cured a single delegate outside Of Min
nesota, though his candidacy has been
persistently and noisily doomed during
the period Of delegate choosing.
The Bryan band wagon is making its
final rounds and seats on II are going at
premium. Those who have not yet got
aboard will have to jump quickly.

The feeling is abroad in the land that
It Is the people who rule. and they are
insisting on their rights. Less than ever
before, It seems, are the voters willing TO
DO led by party; and more and more II is
coming to be principles and men that

will have its influence. but there are not
wanting signs that this sort Of influence
IS waning. and one Of the signs is the
Oregon election.
The tendency thus made manifest
seems to assure us that though tho party
managers may make the nominee, the
next President OF the United States will
be made by the people. And the man
his personality and what he stands for
viii count for more than platforms or
phrases.
