HOLD SECRET MEET
Speakersllip Is Discussed, but
Salt Lakers Find Them
selves Divided.

a meeting Of seven of the ten mcfn-
bers of tho lower house OF the forth-
coming legislative assembly from oai'
Lake county WAS held Thursday even
ing in the office of M. II. kriebei, one
of the reprcscntatives-elcct. 1t was
business meeting, and, is very ofton
the fate OF secret meetings, 1T pustco
mp in "A row.
The three absentees were Mrs. Annie
Wells Cannon, Mrs. Edyth Ellerpeck
Read and Clarence Bamberger, Thcre
were present, therefore, Daniel Nc
King, Claude IT, Barnes, DR.. Jane W.
Skoificld, f. L. Judd and David -
Cook The meeting was called by W.
H. Follaud, chairman of tho county
central committee; Dana II. Smith, sec
rotary of that committee, and Frank H.
Christensen.
The object of the gathering was TO
solidify Salt Lake county's house dflc-
cation on the spcakership, the general
" understood idea being that Mr.. hrle-
bel was TO be the beneficiary Of the
solidifyiug process, Had the plan gone
through, the speakership fight would
hnvo been Kriebcl against John N
Hcnrie OF Garfield county, with other
candidates doing the best they may.
When "A resolution was presented &c
the effect that Salt Lake should have
the speaker and that trades to thai
end BIO proposed, thcro was q strong
disposition on the part of large share
of those present TO balk, which, indeed
they did. The upshot OF the meeting
was that Mr.. McRae was appointed {
sort Of delegation leader to make swaps
in situations where, in his judgment, il
would be to the advantage Of Sal
Lake couuty's representation to have
trades.
