PLEADS OTHER DUTIES
Federal Bunch May Pick Ed
E. Jenkins to Hold
Their Sack.

After being chosen chairman Of th'
Republican city committee despite hi
frantic protests Parley L. Jensou las
night consulted maps Of government for
estrv reserves. examined statistics will
reference 10 the location of the denses'
and tsllest timber and as n result leaves
this noon for Alabama, where hc vii
seek surcease from local Republican
woes amid the long-leaf yellow pines of
Alabama. For time Mr.. JensoD was
undecided whether 10 choose the giant
redwoods Of California or the Alabama
pines. Finally he chose the latter.
Mr.. Jensen was elected chairman OF
the Republican committee at It's meet
ing yesterday afternoon. He protested
vehemently against the appointment, de-
claring that he had client who IN
sisted on Mr.. .Jenson S going 10 Ala
bama immediately. Someone was un-
kind enough to suggest that il was a
peculiar thing that Mr.. Jenson should
have client in Alabama coincident
with his selection as chief sack kholder
for the federal bunch The committee,
however. named Mr. Jenson unanimous
Iy and insisted that he act. Finally at
the request of Mr.. Jensou the commit
tee adjourned until 5 o'clock to give
the chairman-elcct opportunity TO con
slider more fully his selection
Refusal Is Flat.
When the committee reconvencd AT g
q clock the candidates of the Republi-
cans met with the committee. Mr. Jen-
son declared that II was impossible to
1on1 b, 10 NtIp nd
that he must 20 to Alabama. He then
presented "A formal resignation from
the Office of chairman. The committee
and The candidates promptly voted to
re icci the resignation. Then Chairman
Jcnson talked to each member indlyld-
uallv aud urged that the committee per
nit him so withdraw. Still the COM
mittee WAS obdurate and Alabama or
no Alabama, client or no client, the
members insisted on having Parley .len
son for chairman. Finally as q last
resort Mr. .IensOn secured an adjourn
mcui of the committee until Monday
afternoon.
However. Mr.. .jensou is going TO leave
for Alabama at noon today and viii
not be back until after the coming
primary election. The committee hav-
nation he is osteDsibly the chairman
still. but it is scarcely likely that he
will direct the campaign from the midst
Of the long leaf yellow pines of Ala
bania.
Probable Successor.
When the committee meets on Mon
dav il is likely that Ed. h. jenkins of
the real estate firm Of Ashton & Jen-
kins Will be named as chairman to sue
ceed Mr.. .Jenson as chairman Of the
committee. NJ. jenkins is the choice
Of The federal bunch for this place. I'm
til defeated for nomination for com
missioner before the business men s
nominating committee Mr.. Jenkins was
actively associated with the so-called
business men 5 or citizens movement.
Now he is for the federal bunch ticket.
The connection of Mr.. Jenkins with
the federal bunch and tho business
men S ticket may be thus established:
Carl 4. Badger. state senator and law
partner Of u. +. Booth, United States
district attorney and n lieutenant of
the federal bunch. is ostensIbly with the
so-called business men S ticket. 1t was
he who troftcd out Jenkins as Il can
didate for commissioner and urged his
Endorsement by tho business men 5
nominating committee. Whea Jenkins
failed of such Endorsement he Joined
the federal bunch more openly By ad
vocating the so-called "Good Govern
ment' ticket Of the federal bunch
While majority of the committee is
believed 10 be at present antagonistic
10 the election of Jenkins as chairman
IL is thought that the federal bunch will
he able 10 get the unruly members in
line and force Jenkins's election.
Between now and noon today efforts
will be made 70 have Farley Jenson for
get his mysterious client in the Ala
hama woods and remain in Salt Lake
as chairman of the Republican com
mittee.
