CONFIDENT OF VICTORY.
State Chairman Martineau Is Pleased
With Outlook In, Utah.

L. r. Martineau, chairman of the
Democratic state committee, returned
to Salt Lake after trip of few days
through the northern part of the state.
Mr. Martineau said he was pleasantly
surprised to find a remarkably strong
Democratic sentiment in that part of
the state. He said that he was heartily
in favor of the organization of the
Bryan club in Salt Lake, and said that
it would assist materially in increasing
the majority that Utah will give Bryan
this fall. He said:
The Young Mems Democratic club
of Logan is working hard for the ma
tional ticket in Cache county, and ii
is almost sure to carry the county for
Bryan. In Box Elder and Weber coun-
ties the Democratic organizations seem
to be in control of the situation, and il
would not surprise me if we should get
substantial majorities in those counties
this fall. The Republicans all through
the state are divided, and / look for a
large number of Independent Republi-
cans to vote the Democratic ticket

tineau in circular letter sent out to
