women of the auxiliary who are
sitting at the little tables the
various committees occupy. These
women have a job that seems
easy to the average passer.by,
but it is far from that.
Questions are fired at them
that would turn the hair of some
people. One person asks how to
get to the Peace Monument, the
next where is bishop so and so,
and the next what is the height
of some public building.
The interrogations are usually
made at the wrong place, but
they are almost invariably an
swered or the questioner is re-
ferred to someone who can give
! the correct answer.
One might think that tho
women who do all this had spent
many months memorizing the
answers, but it seems that the
majority have assimilated the in.
formation unconsciously, judging
from the manner in which they
give their replies.

convention at the Mayflower, is

States rights by advocating repeal of

SALT LAKE CITY. Utah. July -
Democrats Of Utah are optimistic. With

majority of nearly 10000 votes in the
face Of the Coolidge slide four years ago,
practically sure Of reelection and
Senator w H. King apparently gaining
In strength. the party leaders claim
Utah will be safely Democratic after
election.
Utah is a dry State, with a prohihi-
ton law most extreme. Some of those
who put this law on the books are
ardent Smith supporters. They say
they are Just as dry. as ever. but ad-
nlire and want a man for President
who is not afraid to take stand IN
the face Of sentiment Gov. Dern has
made q good executive and many Re-
publicans Will vote for him Added to
this, his Republican opposition is badly
split. there being eight candidates for
the nomination on that ticket. There
is no opposition TO Dern within his own
party.
Senator King a few weeks ago
seemed to have some strong opposition
within his own party. w. W. Armstrong,
who nearly defeated him for the
nomination six years ago. was said to
be in line Also ". ". Raw, a prominent
attorney Of Salt Lake and United States
district attorney under Wilson. was said
TO be seeking Kings place. Stories
published by the Tribune during the
convention al Houston indicated that
there was serious rupture in the Utah
delegation there. The effect Of these
stories has been diSSipated. even though
King was not yet returned home.
Armstrong has announced that he is
not a candidate for Senator and Ray
has gone farther. declaring he Is for
Senator King
Senator King has demonstrated that
he can be elected IN Utah and his
nomination now seems assured. With
these men heading the ticket, with the
Republicans ouarreling among them
selves and some of their present county
officials in 0iSrepute, Democrats say If
they cannot win this year they will
miss a wonderful opportunity. Re-
publicans are too busy Scrambling for
nominations TO be bothered much about
chances of ultimate success.
The Smoot- Cotton fiasco at Kansas
City seemed rather disconcerting, but
there has not been much printed about
it in Utah and probably will not be
until the campaign gets well under way.
