RON. r. S. RICHARDS
called the assemblage to order and
began his address. He l.@-, uttered
but few words when his voice was
drowned in the cheers that shook the
very building. When he mentioned
the name Of Spencer Clawson. thers
was another outburst. and Il seen,.-I
as II the people could not restrain
themselves. The name of Heller NJ.
wells caused renetition Of a.. tenn
Destuous applause. John II. RumeI.
Jr., was = siniRrly greeted
ana after a mOmentary pause.
Out befofe the speaker S,ouId
proceed, there came three rousiug
cheers. The mention Of A, w
Carlson was tho signal for another
outbgrst, and at the name of Gilbert |
a: Mclean the people again went |
wild. Each Of the candidates on
the candidates on the entire ticket
was mentioned and each was greet
with bursts Of applause. Mr.. Rich
ards speech was as follows: |
Ladies ahd Gentlemen - The
tru.ted los, who composed the
municipal convention of the Peo-
pie's Party, have performed the i'm
portant labor which you devolved
upon them That they have dis
charged their sacred trust with
wisdom and fidelity Is atteSted by
your Presence here tonight and by
the thundeting applause which has
greeted the work of the convention.
We are here 10 fatify a ticket that
would do credit to any municipal
ty in this great republic. We are
here TO say that We are proud to
sustain for Office in Salt Lake City
the men who have been named
in this building within the past
fOrty-eight hours. Not only does
the mention of the names Of these
men arouse our intense enthusiasm,
but when We calmly reflect on their
charscteF, we are convinced oftheir
superior merit. Scan the list: For
Mayor, Spencer Clawson. a nntive
born Utonian. A man whose career
has been marked with enterprise
and push; whose character is above
the breath Of malice, and whose
ability is unguestioned. In Utah
and the surrounding Territories his
name means progress and success,
while in financial centres and in
the metropolis Of this great land it
is the synonym of commercial in
tegrity. With such a candidate
for mayor, victory would seem as
sured.
For recorder. Heber NJ. Wells, a
young man who entered public life
when n boy, and who has made
himself familiar with every depart ,
ment ofthe municipal service from
the least important Office to that Of /
mayor. His ability, integrity and Z
urbanity have won for him the adj
miTation Of all classes of people.
while his patriotic devotion 30 the :
cause Of right, and his self abnega- /
ton, have made him the idol of his r
party. Our opponents even now I
cOncede his worth, and on the 10th :
Of February they will witness his re- ,
ward.
For treasurer, August w. Carlson, Z
a man whose character is his bond. ,
His reputation is such that the best j
men in this city would pledge a !
million dollars, If necessary, rs his /
security. IT was the boast of the
Republican treasurer of I
the United States when Grover
was elected that the Dem i,
ocrats found deficiency fonly
Dne cent. When A. w. Carlson's :
.erm Of Office expires his deficiency !
be will even less-it will be nothing. :
He is that kind of a man. n
For assessor and collector, John II. I
Rumel, Jr. / see from your APP Z
Dlause that / need not tell you who n
ne is. a man who knows the value \
II time and energy. A man whose 4
ieart is big, like himself. A man h
Who knows all about moving trains, b
Except running a special registra- +,
ion train to i. V Junction. He il
lid not buy his nomination that a
way. He got it honestly and that is 4
Ist the'way he will administer the i
.uties of his office.
For marshal, Gilbert a. Mclean. Q
When Mac played baseball the boys G
sed TO say he played for all he was
forth. That is the way he will
onduct his responsible office. When ~
e drives an engine he gets there :
n schedule time. That is the way y
e will do on the 10th day of Feb Z,
lary next-before sunset. a
