MANY SENATORS

THE LIST SHOWS MANY

SENATE EXPECTED TO REJECT
SOME 4NAMEs-REcEss APP
PoINTMENTs PROBABLE.

There is trouble a-breving about the
list of appointments sent in to the senate
yesterday by Governor SpTy. A number
OF the senators assert positively that when
the senate goes into executive session
this morning, that at least one of the ap-
pointees will be rejected. and perhaps an
other, without ceremony.
These two are Fred ". Chambers of
Ogden, named as fish and game warden
and John Walsh of Harrington to be a
meI,lber Of the board of trustees of the
Industrial school. The matter with Cham
bers is that he is said 10 be the tag end
or BIZ Glasmann's political machine in
Ogden; that he left a very unsaVOry rep
utation when he was ousted from the
city council, after ugly charges had been
made; that he is not in any wise qualified
for the place. that he is legally barred,
and that he scarcely ever, if ever,
indeed, has had rod or gun in his hands.
II is the assertion that the place was I'M
Ieservedly promised to Madsen of Provo.
The objection to Walsh is that ne is en-
tirely untitled for the place.
List Is Unsatisfactory.
A majority of the entire list submitted
by the governor is distasteful to the sena-
tors Generally speaking, there is too
much federal bunch in the collection.
Some of the obnoxious names are: G. A.
Glazier of Provo. brOther-in-law of Reed
Smoot, to be state bank examine, A. C.
Giauque of Salt Lake, a weak member
Democrat; J. ". \. Whitecotton of
Provo. to be trustee of the agricultural
college, who is Reed Shoots attorney.
And there are plenty Of others
l. IS no cinch that the senate will ap-
prove a number of the names presented,
but that will make no difference, for they
viii hold office just the same. for they
will be recess appointments.
At Least One Good Board.
Perhaps the board against which no
valid objection can be offered is that on
uniform legislation. This board consists
of Jerrold Letcher. clerk of the United
States courts, a Democrat, and Bennar
y. Smith of salt Lake and I. L. Baker.

The List of Nominees.
The list of nominations was transmitted
bv the governor yesterday at II o'clock.
1nasmuch as there was not sufficient time
before the luncheon hour to consider the
appointments in executive session, the
sense was that they would be taken UP
Tbehind closed doors during the afternoon.
The liquor bill. however. proved to be the
paramount issue" and the senators,
willing enough. let the matter of confiT-
nation or rejection go over until this
morning. The appointments made by the
