MRS. OVERF|ELD BACK
FROM NOTIFICATION
Salt Lake Woman Talks of
Meeting With Democratic
Presidential Candidate.

Mrs. c. P. Overfield of Salt Lake,
who was q member Of tho committee
which notified Governor Woodrow VIII
son Of his nomination as Democratic
candidate for president Of the United
States, returned from the east yester-
day. The notification committee con-
sisted of one representative of each
state and Mrs. Ovsrfield was Utah s
member of the committee. She is the
only woman who has ever served on
committee Of this kind.
Mrs. Overfield was pleased with. her
experience and returns an ardent VIII
son booster, However, she rather
thinks she will not be active during
the campaign and that she will confine
her campaigning to her girl friends.
sI am not enough Of politician or
prophet,' said Mrs. Overfield. "to
attempt to predict the outcome of the
contest. Politics as far as | have OBJ
served is very muddled science, One s
viewpoint on the political situation ap-
per one has read last. OF course, l
want Governor Wilson to win, but it
does not necessarily follow that he will
do so.'
Mrs. Overfield had a delightful time
Seagirt, where Governor Wilson was
formally notified of his nomination.
She was especially taken with Senator
James s. notification speech This, she
said, was much better than his speech
at Baltimore. Governor Wilson g
speech. Mrs. Overfield thought, was a
dignified and scholarly address, but
it lacked the brilliant humor that char
acterized the speech of Senator James.
At Seagirt Mrs. Overfield met the
presidential candidate and the mem-
bers Of his family. She was enter
tanned there by sister Of Governor
Wilson. Mrs. Overfield was warm in
her praise Of all Of the members of the
family of Governor Wilson.

bly, Be Deferred for

MUST BE READVERTISED
Meeting Will Be Held Tomor-
row Morning to Further
Discuss Question.

At the conclusion of the meeting OF
the city commissioners yesterday il
was announced that bids for the btu
Ithic pavement of the lettered streets
would be opened by the commission at
the meeting this morning. Later in
the day it developed that specifica-
tions for the work had not been given
to any contractors and hence no bids
will be opened.
At a conference between City En-
gineer D. Fl. Blossom and Assistant
City Attorney Aaron Myers late yes.
terday afternoon the former was ad-
vised that even should the commission
ers decide to use bitulithic pavement
for the work that the notice to con
tractors would have to be readvcrtised
for twenty days.
Engineer Blossom at once held con-
ference with several members of the
commission and it was found that the
delay which would be caused would
make the letting Of the contract so
late in the season that it would be
practically impossible for the paving
TO be done this year.
To Present Statement.
At meeting of the commission
which will be held Thursday morning
Attorney Myers will present a writ.

expected that a motion will then be
made by one of the commissioners de-

Yesterday morning several property
owners were heard who favored the
use of bitulithic pavement on the let
tered streets owing to the grades, but
the commission, in order to give both
sides q chance to be heard. laid over
the question until Thursday s meeting,
when it was expected that all interest

In the face of the later developments
of the day, however, it is not ex-
pectod that any of the people will
bc heard at this time, the commission
crs preferring to postpone action until
some future date. when all can be
heard and the kind of pavement to be
