INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN
IN MANY DISTRICTS
Congressional Contest, How
ever, IS Far From Settled;
Harry Joseph Shows Con-
siderable Strength.

every district in Salt Lake
county made certain the renom-
nation Of Governor Spry. il
not by acclamatiou at least By an
Ginning majority Many Of the
districts gave positive Instructions for
Sprv and in most Of the other districts
only staunch supporters of the govern.
or were chosen Conservative esti-
males place the governor s strength in
this county nj four fths of the total
Salt Lake county delegation, with the
probability that he will receive the
entire delegation,
Little or no opposition To the gov
ernor was manifest at the primaries.
Friends OF the governor in large mum
bers attended the primaries, prepared
TO contest for delegates, but only in
few instances WIS there any oppo-
sition, and as usual thing the oppo-
sition failed. a feature of the prima-
ries was the absence Of many we'll
known politicians from the list OF del
egates. Few Office holders and few
politicians prominently identified with
the federal bunch are to be found
among The delegates
The list of delegates does not reveal
much concerning the other state Of
fees. Tingey for secretary of state,
Kelly for state auditor. and Barnes for
attorney general appear to have a
large majority OF the Salt Lake county
delegation. Several districts instruct
ed for Mrs. Margaret Zane Witcher
for state treasurer, but it is not GER
tain that she will have majority of
the Salt Lake county delegation.
Fight for Congress.
The primaries of last night only in
teusifed the pretty fight for the con.
gressional nominations. Harry S. Jo-
seph showed considerable strength and
several districts instructed for him.
The home districts of Benner y.
Smith and C.. (. Marks instructed for
these candidates. Farley P, Christen
sen was again brought into the con-
gressional contest by his home dis
trct which was instructed for him.
The only two candidates for congress
from outside of Salt Lake, who were
the recipients Of instructed delegations
were Judge John T. Chidcster and Con
gressman Joseph Howell. Two dis
tricts instructed for Chidester and one
for Howell,
In the Fortieth district resolution
was introduced TO instruct tho dele
CATION for Congressman Howell. which
failed of passage. a resolution against
third terms for state Offices intro
duced in this district also failed of
passage, The resolution against third
terms was doubtless aimed at Sccrcta-
~ c. S. Tingey, who is candidate
for denomination for secretary of state
for third term.
