Mr.. Dodge being introduced said that
the hour was late and judging from the
sound Of voices and from orators he had
heard, he thought the appetite for speech
es had been appeased. In nominating
him they had done iim an honor and one
IN which he took pride because they had
placed his name upon the ticket in con-
nectlon with such gentlemen as Mr..
Dodds and Mr.. Shook. He felt deeply,
the responsibility of being named as ~
candidate for the council and particular
ly in being named as the successor o.
one, who during the last four years has
represented the people SO ably and soH
well and has been the acknowledges
leader of the upper house of the legisla-
ture. Now we have territory filled with
vast Industries, with riches, with im.
provements and with resources of every
kind, which have been acquired during
the past few years, with faciiItles for az
rlcultural and varied industry equal to
many states in the Union. These have
not been acquired by any yfactional party
but by the united efforts of the people,
without regard to party, but with One
common front, and any man who is chOs-
en- by this people to represent them in
the territorial Legislature and does not
go there to represent the whole people

constituency He trusted they wouli

far as he was able be promised to do al
he could for the good Of the people. He
accepted the nomination with thanks.
d. S. Dodds of Nelson county was then

that they We're all tired. He thanked
