my rice" said Mr.. Sutton this morn
ing, in speaking 'of the transaction,
"But I can say that | have some
more that is not going to go for even
such a price as this. | am going to

what should be received for it, and I
would advise all other rice men to do
the same"

cinity of Lake Charles, are holding
their crops for higher prices than are
now being paid.
The rice millers say the demand for
clean rice is very slack, particularly

erly lifted the clerks valuable and
handsome gold watch and fob.
Mr.. Clutch did not miss the time piece
for about an hour and when he dis.
covered that the watch had Disappeared
he began to do some tall thinking. He
tried to remember where he haH been,
who he had talked with and whether.
or not he had left the watch home. His
face turned all the colors Of a. rainbow
and he was on the verge Of collapse
when he happened to think he had been
in the desk sergeant,s office and know
ing the penchant for Joking the police
men have. he rushed frantically down
stairs taking the flight eight steps al a
time.
He burst into the desk sergeant's Of
flee and then gave a gasp of horror
There was his valuable watch being
ratified off at cents throw. The
officers had a list about three yards
long and more names and nickels were
being added. He made a dive for the
time piece and succeeded in rescuing it.
after which he rushed down the street
and purchased q safety device to fasten
the watch securely to his pocket.

DEMOCRATS MAY

Informally Discuss New Leader
For State Ticket to Replace
Jesse Knight.
COMMITTEE NOT ANXIOUS.
IT Is Willing to Allow the Candidate
The Benefit OF Nomination by
A Convention.

The Der1ocratics state convention may
( be Teassembled to5choose a successor 10
Uncle Jesse Knight at the head of the
ticket, provided his refusal to run re-.
mains as positive as it now seems.
4 Informal discussion among leading.
Democrats today develops an opinion
that most of them favor Of reconven-
ing the convention In preference to
asking anyone to run upon appoints
ment by the state committee, although
this committee has the power to ap-i
point a candidate to fill any Nacan-
scy
Judge 10. w. Powers today when
asked If he favored filling the vacancy
by reconvening the convention said
"Uncle Jesse has only talked TO the
newspapers SO far We have no de-
Sclination from him that closes the mat
ter, and nothing will be done by the
party until some time has elapsed
The names of likely candidates for
the position are being much discussed
today, looking forward to the contin-
gency that the state committee. must
finally give up hope for u change of
mind on the part of Uncle Jesse.
Joseph Peery of Ogden is frequently
mentioned for the place, and has geo.
graphical points In his favor, as Weber
county so far has no representation on
the ticket. Harden Bennion. formerly
state senator. is also mentioned. Ben-
Mon was 1; candidate for secretary OF
state, and his defeat by e. r. Owen
of Cache leaves the southeast without
a special ,favorite som on the ticket.
From Salt Lake John Derns name
is frequently brought up. while many
are wondering whether j. Will Knight
could be induced to take the nonlina-.
ton. and thus keep 1t in the Knight
family. j. VIII Knight has been inti-
mate with his father in the develop
5ment of his enterprises and is manager
5of5many of them.
How the matter&Will finally adjust
itself it is too early yet to state. The
