Political Dopsters Are Already
Beginning to Use Figures
OF Last Contest.
REvERsALs OF A DECADE
In 1896 Bryan on tho silver Wave
Swept Utah as Completely as
Did Roosevelt in 1901.

with the return Of the Utah delega-
tion from Denver the chapter of Utahs
interest in convention towns is more or
less completed. and the politicians are
now turning their eyes from national
platforms and candidates To the local
problem of votes and nominees for the
state tickets.
Already the dopster is in the field
with his figures, and arguments from
them that the election Is sure to go in
any one of n number of desired dircc-
tons.
The election figures OF the past few
presidential campaigns illustrate well
how uncertain ii is To figure on one
election by that which preceded It. Just
three campaigns ago, in 1896, w. j.
Bryan in Utah hardly left enough Nc
Kinley votes to make a showing. Two
campaigns ago, in 1900, Mckinley
passed Bryan's vote only by margin
OF lao. and in 1904 Roosevelt carried
on his national voting wave a Utah ma
jorty over Bryan of 29,033,
The problem of guessing the probable
result OF the Bryan-Taft election next
November then becomes one of cstimat-
ing whether the pendulum will swing
back towards the Bryan vote OF 1896 or

the present situation an interesting one.

NAMES C. A. MAGAW.
Will Be Administrator of $25O,OOO
Gordon Estate.

In the Gordon Mum controversy,
which was closed today by Probate
Judge Hayden, Judge C. A. Magaw
was appointed administrator of the
Gideon Stoddard Gordon estate, re-
puted to be worth $250,000.
The appointment of Judge Magaw
as administrator was the result of a
disagreement between Mrs. Jennie s.
Gordon, widow Of the late G. S. Cor
don and Lille Gordon Mum, only
daughter and biood-heir of the de-
ceased Mrs. Gordon, the widow, ap-
piled for letters of administration of
the Gordon estate, and was met in
probate court by three attorneys and
a list of six objections. AS a result
of the argument, which lasted all
day Friday, the probate court ap-
pointed an administrator who was in
no way affiliated with either Mrs.
Gordon, the widow, or Mrs. Mum,
the daughter.
Owing to the serious charges made
against the widow, that she was not
legally divorced from a former hus-
band before her marriage with the
deceased, G.. s. Gordon, the court adj
mitted and signed the following con-
tention introduced by Mrs. Gordon's
attorneys, Allen and Allen and j. b.
Larimer. His document is introduce
ed without opposition for the reason
that suits are now pending in dis
trict court which will settle all points

New York Is to Have a New Postofice
Building.

New York, April 22.-The design of
Architects McKim, Mead & White for
the new postoffice, which has been Sc
lected by the secretary of the treasury
and the postmaster general, shows a
structure of monumental character,
which will cover an area over the Penn
sylvania tracks on the west side of
Eighth avenue, between Thirty-first
and Thirty third streets.
The principal facade, that on Eighth
avenue, consists of row of Corinthian
columns, terminated at the north and
south ends by pavilions containing
inches. This colonnade corresponds to
the public corridor which extends the
entire length of the building along
Eighth avenue. The facades on the
streets follow out the same general mo-
tive, with pilasters used instead of col
umns and with pavilion at the west
end.
In designing the structure the archi-
