GOODWIN'S WEEKLY. 5 1
REFLECTIONS.
J. U. Eldredge, Jr., has announced his candi
dacy for state treasurer, which is pretty nearly
equivalent to announcing that he will be the next
state treasurer.
Thore is no question but that he will have op
position, for Mr. Christiansen, the present incum
! bent, would like to serve a second term and there
are others who would be glad to get a first one,
but Eldredge has a faculty of getting what he
goes after, and it will be a singular thing if ho
has much trouble in getting what he wants from
his party in this state, which owes him pretty
nearly anything he modestly requests.
& & &
His announcement will change the plans of a
lot of the boys, both in the state and county
tickets, for thore are a number .of near-stalwarts
who had been waiting for the clerk of the courts
to declare himself, before stating just what they
would like to have next fall.
His determination not to run for congress or
for secretary of state will be a great relief to
many to more in fact than will be disappointed
in the knowledge that their chances for the treas
urorship have gone glimmering.

Now that Mr. Eldredge has finally assured the
numerous candidates for the county clerkship
that ho will not run for that office another term,
they have become unduely excited.
Of course they dislike to see Jodey get out
of the way, but there isn't one of them who could
not be forced to accept the position should the
people rise up and demand it.
In their jubilation, they seem to have over
looked the American voters who are going to take
this county away from them next election and
hold on to it thereafter. Such an idea hasn't
entored their heads, but the majority of voters in
Salt Lake county have it in mind, and while they
hate to sacrifice some of our home boys, they
feel that this is the year to do it, and it is going
to be done.
The appearance of J. L Igeholz, who came
here to organize the Independence League in this
state, th( meeting of the chief mourners among
the greai, unwashed for the purpose of naming
the convention days andtho selecting of Frank
Nebeker as Democratic National Committeeman
from Utah have been the chief events to interest
the remaining Democrats this week.
The Hearst movement, in the interest of which
Mr. Igeholz has spent the past ton days here,
has received the endorsement of enough of the
were Democrats to create considerable havoc in
the ranks, for the principle of the new party
come nearer than anything else to the happy me
dium if there is such a thing between present
day Democracy and Socialism, and the result has
been anything but encouraging to those who are
trying to hold the fragments of the party in this
state together.
The fight which is scheduled to be pulled off
between the Smoot and anti-Smoot forces in the
Republican convention for the naming of dele
gates to the Chicago convention will be worth
going miles to see. The audacity of the insur- WM
gents in declaring that tile congressional bunch IM
will b,e sidetracked is startling enough in itself, fl
rind it they carry out their plans, the Federal &fl
gang will have the biggest job they over tackled Iffl
when the summer is ovar. . flw
Indications are that the battle will be bloody, jttfl
especially in view of the whisperings of the Smoot $
crowd who state that the rebels will be kicked 19
out of the convention. l
But then indications in Utah don't count. fl

On fairly good authority it is stated that Wil- fifl
lard Done will not accept a second term as gov- 59
ernor. fiH

The meeting of the United Commercial Trav- ifl
elers of America here in June will be the most MM
important event of the summer, and everyone KH
should do everything possible to make it a great gjfl
success. IIH

If Governor Hughes is elected President, it jjH
will be the first time the Welsh have had a run fl
for their money. jjfl
His success would not mean any material gjfl
changes in the local post office, but Curly and AH
Bill Spry would probably be asked to make room SH
for Tommy Thomas and John James. 1H
