Today's political developments in the
Democratic camp are characterized by
q rush for places on the tickets, fol-
lowing the feeling OF certainty that
Jesse Knight Of Provo will bead the
ticket. Receptive candidates We're
transformed in a minute into active.
aggressive campaigners for place,andit
is probable that at the convention in Lo-
gan tomorrow will be some pretty fight
ing for position, made all the more
lively by the fact that candidates have
not had an opportunity to line up their
friends and exchange pledges so that
any particular slate will have right
of way.
S. r. THURMAN ENTERS
JOS Stringfellow, until today lone
candidate for the attorney generalship
now has $. r. Thurman out against
| him az an active candidate. w. j.
Kolth of Salt Lake comes ont TO con-
| test with j, WI Nixon of Huntington
| for the state authorship, While Will
| liam H. King, who has had mis- ear to
| the ground on the matter of the United
| States senatorship, has positively re-.
| ifused to be candidate for the lower
| fhouseaof congress-, so rs To leave the
! field clear for q Samuel Newhouse en-
| drosement.
1 When asked today IL he would allow
l his name to go before the convention
i King said: Decidedly 4 am not a
4 candidate for3st that nfHce. Crank +
\ Stephens Is the candidate. He has my
vote, and L hope to see him elected.
DO you favor nominating a United
I States senator at this convention
was asked of Judge King.
4 II do not was the answer. II IA
vor leaving the mater open, as there
I are many reasons whyit is inopportune
| 10 close the matter at this time.
NE,yNHoUSE A POSSIBILITY.
That a Newhouse- King contest is
| blooming ahead of the party on the sena'
| torship problem, should there be votes
enough In the legislature to make a
| Democratic candidate possibility is
/ a certainty of the feeling today
| Friends Of Judge King quote the oft
| repeated declaration of Mr.. Newhouse
| that he favored Judge King for the
| senate and would not be himself a
| candidate, while they profess astonish-
| ment at the King boom for Congress
which they declare to be part of still
| hunt" game on the part of Newhouse
| hackers to get a clear field for him,
eliminate King from the race before the
Legislative lineup is arrived at.
Much depends on the action tomor-
row. as to the future of political de-
/ velopment IN this field, should the con-
vention nominate Newhouse for the
| senate at tomorrow's convention, the
matter would be practically settled.
| Should 1t leave the matter open, Judge
i King would probably organize an &C
tive fight to land the nomination, while
/ should the convention tomorrow pledge
| itself to him. this in turn would solve
the problem by eliminating il from the
campaigns future
ToMoRROW'S CONVENTION.
j. @sNt,

up the Democrats and chaperoninG
their trip to Logan tomorrow as q
representative of the Cache county
committee. The train will leave prompts
| ly 1T 7:5O o'clock, and Will arrive at
Logan at II O'clock. The convention

4 Judge o. W. Powers In the chair AS
temporary chairman. The temporary
1 organization will probably be made
| permanent, and unless there is de-
cided fight on the platform it will be
! ready TO report at the opening of the
afternoon session. The matter OF in
serting a local option plank has been
| widely discussed, with some for anc
some against it. 1t is here that fight
| will come if anywhere, and at pres
ent those for the plank seem to be in
| the majority.
Tonight delegates from out of town
i will be rendered a reception by the
Bryan club of Salt Lake, and the club
