nomination. but their friends have frc-
quentIy urged that they become candi-
dates.

Juab for Whitmore.

Juab county is trying to prevail OF
George &. Wbitmorc of Ncphi to be
como candidate for governor, and in
the south and in many parts of the
north there is sentiment for Edward
III. Snow of ST, George for governor
The only active candidates for the
places on the congressional delega-
tion are William w. Ray and Math-
ouihah Thomas of Salt Lake and T. d,
Johnson OF Ogden. There is strong
sentiment in the south and in parts of
tho north that one of the congressional
nominees come from southern Utah and
IN case the south unites on a strong
candidate it is likely that the con.
vention will name him. There is a
feeling that only one Of the congress
sional nominees should come from Salt
Lake and the fight between Thomas
and Ray for this place is therefore
keen.
j. W, Strlngfellow appears TO be the
leading candidate for attorney general
though H. y. Hayes. of Richfielj, and
j. ID. Call. of Brigham City are fre-
quently mentioned for the place.
