SWAN CREEK co.
WANTS TO COME IN

Bishop Pugmire was in the city

enroute TO his home in st. Charles
from Boise, where he had been In
the interests Of the Swan Creek
Electric Co., with which Mr.. Pug
mire is connected. The company
has applied to the public utilities
commission for a certificate to do
business in Idaho.
The Utah Power & Light Co. Is
opposing the application of the
Swan Creek ehmpany. claiming that
the territory in which the latter
company intends to operate is now
adequately supplied with electricity
and that the Utah corporation Is IN
a position to give consumers all the
additional power they need. The
Swan Creek Electric company claims
and this claim In said 70 be backed
up by St. Charles consumers, that
the service Of the Utah Power q
Light Co. has been inadequate and
far from satisfactory. although
there is no objection to the rates
charged for electrical energy.

ago, the utilities bill having been
passed since they commenced oper-
ations, that 1t would be necessary

Mass-Meeting For August 18th

Notice is hereby given of the
call for a mass-meeting of the
Democratic voters of Tazewell
county, to be held at Tazewell,
in the moving picture theatre

IMPORTANT MEETING.

August the 18th, is the day
fixed byCounty Chairman, A. S.
Higginbotham, for general as
sembly of the Democrats of the
County in mass meeting.
Some considerable time has
elapsed since such a meeting
was held, and this occasion will
be of interest, aside from the
mere fact that it is Il meeting of
Democrats. A general meeting
of representative Democrats is
always an event of interest, and
can be and should be an occass-
ion of profit.
The August 18th, meeting will
be of special interest however.
for two chief reasons, the first
being that this will be the first
meeting of the County Demo
Gratis for many years under a
Democratic Administration, with
Democratic majority in both
houses Of Congress.
There should be inspiration in
this thought for all loyal Demo
Gratis. This meeting will assem-
BILE not only under victorious
Democratic party but it will find
the Republican party not only
in defeat but almost if not en-
tirely annihilated as national.
party.and weaker in Virginia and
other Southern States than it has
been for many years. While
these facts are inspiring, and a
source of rejoicing there should
be no boasting in view of the
over whelming responsibilities
this great change entails upon
the victorious party. 1t should
be made the occasion of the
renewal of Democratic vows and
the pledging of unreserved 10y
atty to the great cause.
The occasion will be of interest
also on account ofthe election of
a new County Chairman. This
committee is elected for two
years. The present County Com
mittee will rot be reelected. that
is all Of the members. A num-
Ger OF these are candidates for
appointment to office, and some
nave declined reelection.
The committee now consists of
"A members, but the number is
optional, and can be decreased
or enlarged as the convention
may determine. Some time ago
a county committee was named,
through this paper for the most
part representative men of the
county. But from reports and
comments heard from different
quarters it is pretty clear that
certainly all these gentlemen
named will not be members of

THE PRIMARY.

Before the next issue of this
paper the primaries will have
been held an the question as to
who is who, will be settled. The
Democrats of TaZewell and the
Ninth District will have a mighty
voice in determining who shall
fill the important Offices in the
State of Governor, Lieut.. Cover
nor, Attorny General, Commiss-
Toner of Agriculture, State
treasurer etc.
AS to the first two Offices
mentioned there seems to be lit
tie if any doubt-none at all rs
to the first place on the ticket.
Mr.. Ellyson has opposition but
at this stage of the fight his OBJ
onents have dew eloped but small
strength, it seems, and the Ninth
District will give him a large
vote and majority. Mr.. Williams
is having strong opposition from
Mr.. Pollard and Mr.. Cumming.
This is a three conered fight,
with the odds strongly in favor,
at this time, of Judge Williams.
He has some opposition in this
county mostly due to enmities
engendered, it is said, by law
suits in which he has been en-
gagged in the past, and the op-
position to him is, therefore,
personal, which should never
weigh in the selection of a pub
lie official, Mr.. Pollard is strong,
vigorous young man, who has
made a success in the practice
of law, of which success he rather
immodestly, we think boasts Of
in public. Mr.. Davis of Peters
burg, Mr.. Williams Assistant. is
g distinguished lawyer, and a
confederate soldier, and both
he and his chief have a strong
pull with the old soldiers and
their friends.
The office of Commissioner of
Agriculture, one of the most i'm
portant Of them all is in doubt.
Mr.. j. Thompson Brown is max
ing a rapid canvass of this sction
in opposition to Mr.. Koiner, the
present incumbent.
He was here between trains,
on Monday and shook hands with
the voters whom he CHANGED t.
meet. So far as we are able to
ascertain he gave no conclusive
reason, (probaply for lack OF
time) why Mr.. Koiner should be
turned out, or why he, Mr.. j.
Thompson Brown, would make d
better Commissioner than Mr..
koiner, who has held the office
for years, making an enviable
record. After Mr.. Brown. should
he be elected, has been in the
office several years, and become
familiar with the work it is not
impossible that he might do the
work as we'll as Mr.. Koiner is
doing, but why, assuming this
to be true, waste precious time
In trying an experiment with {;
new man when the old one is fill
ing the bill and making good, ant
still anxious and willing to do sc
and more still. Our candid opin-
ion is that Mr.. Koiner is the
right man in the right place and
should be retained. With no i'll
will towards Mr.. Brown we
nevertheless express the hope
that the Democrats of this entire
section will vote in the primary
for Mr.. Koiner. There is no rea
son in the world why they should
not.
