A NEW FEDERAL BUNCH

Utah is to have new federal bunch immedi-
ttely after the passage of the tariff bill according
to Mr.. I. c. Thorsen, late of Cache county but
of Salt Lake city. Mr.. Thorsen is willing to
become a member Of the federal bunch, and in fact
thinks just fill the office of surveyor
general well he and as all his friends and ac-
quantances would be disappointed il he were not
after job of some kind all are glad that he is in
the race at least. l. G. usually knows a few things
politically 90, can all look for the new bunch
Immediately after the passage Of the tariff bill
But Of course even he may be mistaken.
There seems to be quite stir in. the matter
of endorsement for United States Marshall Our
old friend Hon. Aqua Nebeker walked away with
the endorsement Of the state committee with great
and a great shout OF approval went up from
St. George to Logan, but now It is rumored that
Lyman r. Martineau has awakened and thinks he
will get in the race. Well the the merrier,
and no doubt Messrs Jed M Blair and A. George
Barber will be glad to add little fire to the fame
of the NebekerMartineau blaze in order to detract
attention from the they are running
Speaking OF the Blair.Barber race rumor has

OUTLOOK UNAVOIDABLE
The following special. dispatch to tne Deseret
News was printed in its Saturday issue
James H. Moyie of Salt Lake City, promi.
nent in Utah Democratic circles, is in Washing
ton in the hope of securing some concessions
from the senate on tn tariff. What l want to
see," sad Mr.. Moyle is equalization of tariff
reductions. | am Democrat and am not a pro

bill as 1t stands because 1t discrmina.es serious

the free meat clause. What would like to see
is all sections of the country treated fairly in
whatever tariff revision is put through, and do

an opportunity to discuss the duty on meat with
a subcommittee of the finance committee, but
they got no favorable assurances.
or course the outlook is not favorable" But
did anyone expect anything to the contrary and was
not conditions loudly predicted? Well after all
the only consolation is that Mr.. Moyie Is getting
Just what he voted for
