The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1908-03-18

instead of following the usual custom Of giving
the three first places to the two senators and
the one representative means, II the plan is
adopted by the state convention, the elimins.
tion OF Smoot as dele gate. One Of the COM
mitteemen said In regard to the matter
1--WE thought 1t best TO select delegates
from the rank and die Of the party II we
choose to do so. 1t does not necessarily mean
that all Of tire present representation in con.
gress will be barred, but there are only six
places and II the two senators and the represen.
tative take three, why" and the committee
left the rest for easy inference.
The sense Of the meeting forcibly expressed
was that the candidate for senator should be
named by the convention that is to meet next
fall instead Of waiting for the legislature to
meet and see which way the wind blows most
favorably. Bound by convention action, the
legislature, In the event that it is republican,
would be bound to stand by that nomination.
The insurgent republicans have more to
crow about than their victory over the Smoot
forces at the con- mittee meeting at the Wilson
Saturday. That evening the Young Mems Re-
publican club met 10 Judge Armstrong; court
room. 1t Is said by the insurgents that Jake
Greenewald had been slated for president, but
that they gained a complete victory In the Sc
lection Of Calvin S. Buckwalter, pronounced
"independent Salt Lake Herald.
The dems of Cache are talking of Hon.
AQuilla Nebeker for governor, and there are
not few republicans In this neck Of the woods
who would like to vote for Quill. AS one fellow
put it, "Qui would at least know Cache
man II he ever happened to get to the state
capital" During the past year our friend
Nebekers chickens have been laying eggs with
double yolks. his ewes have delivered him
countless twins, his oats yielded him eighty
bushels to the acre, his pigs have delivered
him filters OF twelve, and a month ago the
Bear Lake monster bumped his back and
showed about twenty tons Of superior ice into
his ice house near the lake. Providence and
all nature seem to be smiling on Quill these
days, and it NAV be his time politically. Gov.
ernor Nebeker runs trippingly off the tongue
and would look well in print. too. Why may
it not be so?
II. w. Sloan, democrat, of Salt Lake, has
been appointed a delegate to the national con.
vention Of the Independence party. From It's
name we would judge that party to be akin to
the American party and to have sprung from
the same source-personal Disappointment
Up to March l3,one hundred and hfty.eight
delegates had been elected to the Republican
National convention, OF which 1928 are in
structed for Taft, 20 for Fairbanks and four
are uninstructed According to estimates,
Secretary Taft will get 40 delegates, exclusive
OF the Southern states, all of whom will send
Taft delegations, although there will also
doubtless be contesting anti.Taft delegations
from many of them.
J. U. Eldredge, Jr. has announced his
candidacy for state treasurer, which Is pretty
nearly equivalent to announcing that he will
be the next state treasurer. There is no ques-
tion but that he will have opposition, for Mr..
Christensen, the present incumbent, would
like to serve a second term and there are others
WIN would be glad to get first one, but
Edredge has a faculty Of getting what ne goes
after, and 1t will be singular thing " ne has
much trouble In getting what he wants from
his party 10 this state, which owes HIM pretty
y nearly anything he modestly requests
