Tho delegates endorsed the demo-oratlo platrnrm na adopted at the Btato convention hold at Provo, and pledged tho boartv support of tbo oandidatea of tbo democratic purty in Iron County. Aa to tho district eonator, Hon. Frank. Tolton, tho peoplo of thla part of the stato know full well that ho la a situation demoorat and has been found working for not only hid own county, but for all the oountlea In the aouthorn part of tho atate. He Ib knows- to be a mna strongly in favor of thO'Branok Normal, and was one of the main- raovera in the securing the rame for this locality.

It will no doubt be appreciated by the rank and file-of too democratic party to personal, letter written by him to a friend In Cedar. It shows exactly whoro Mr. Tolton stands with regards to tho B. N. School.

Following ia the extraot referred lo: "Replying to yourqueBtion regarding my attitude toward tho Uranob Normal, I wish to auy that there Ib no perajn in southern Utah inoro loyal to Its Interesta than 1, and my rooord of tbB past will justify thostitemont.

Of tho representative that tho delegates havo chosen. U.

T. Johcb, there need be little huUI. Tho peoplo of this county havo known him for years and havo always found him insympa thy with educational improvement and hearty supporter of tho Normal, li goes without saying that bo will work earnestly nud onoraotioally for tho school, Mr. Jonea' attitude on the prohibition question is well understood, und he will no doubt do his utmoBt for state wido prohibition If sent to tho legislature. Ho Ib a conservativo gentleman, and dneB uotbiug without mature study, und when bo Hods ho ia right it is characteristic of him to act immediately.

The democrats could not havo chosen a stronger man than Mr. Jouos tor tbo position. The Socialists. Aa has been Btatcd in theso the Socialists mot in convention and nominated ticket, and alto decided to lute with the dem- oorats. The tloket ua formulated by them wae given to tho domoorats, in convention in Parowan, and tho action taken at that tlmo gavo to tbo 8ooiallstB ono ollloo, that of attorney, and Jos.

T. Wilkinson's uarno plaood upon the democratic tlokot. The sooiallsta thought they were entitled to more olHcora, but It seems that the democrats thought differently. Ab It was some of them decided' to place on iflo tho tloket na tbey had formulatod it, but left, tho matter too lale. All political tickets must bo tiled with the county clerk not losa than 15 day previous to tho day of electiou, and aa thoy failed to do this there will bo no county socialist tlokot on the ballot.

It la thought thought that they, will tnrow tholr atrongth to tho dom-ucratlo ticket, and aa they poll nearly 70 votes in the oounty it will mako onualdorablo dliferonao to tho total voto pollod usually by the dem-ocrats.
