that Ogden be selected as the place for
the convention in order to prevent dis

Down in Utah county there is dissen-
sion and a great deal of it. While
Smoot and Loose are apparently III har

the colonel acted like spanked kid at
the meeting of the state committee 1T
was only for effect and he was only tenn
porarily BROUGHT into line due to the
work Of close personal friends who
pleaded with him for several hours.
That peace and harmony is not prevail

shown by the following from the Provo
Herald. Says the Herald;
There Is Revolt.
A prominent Republican" OF Salt Lake
was yesterday quoted as saying that
revolt among the ranks OF the faithful is
due to commence active business i'm
| mediately after the Republican state con-
vention, and that after the first en-
gagements The revolt Will be so busy that
only one night stands where crowded

| words to that effect, 10 all OF which
we say amen, only show us the revolt.
II has been due long time, and Is
very much overdue at the present time.
only II is better late than never, and
| II II does not come now there will not
be enough of the Republican party left
by the time another campaign rolls
Even the bunch know revolution

again been made. TO jump through and

more hcsitancy than they did before, be
cause of this very spirit of revolt, The
| liquor interests are not in this for the
sake OF patriotism or love of the bunch,
They are known to regard the matter
something in this light: 1--WE have got

with trouble and bad odors. There Is

How DO we know that the liquor in
terests have again contributed to the

which has marked all its actions, and to
presume that source of revenue. such
would be overlooked at the opening of
a campaign. would be to doubt the

bunch" ever known TO overlook anything

volt from machine dictation, the Repub-

| Row in Sanpete.
There is trouble in Sanpete TOO, There
are insurgents there. Then there were
regulars who had official aspirations
which had tendency to make trouble
for Elder Howell The land board of
the state steps into this breach. Tenn.
porarY harmony in Sanpete is thus ar
ranged. The outlook for the federal
bunch is far from assuring.
