anc justices Of the peace.
Under the original charter Of the
city there were i've aldermen to be

men. The question arose as to which /
OF those acts would govern at this cleo
ton. Although the Supreme Court
has passed upon the question. I sug-
gest To you that il might be prudent,
in addition to the nominations Of
councilmen and justices of the peace,
10 provide for five aldermen as well.
The duty and responsibility that de-
volve upon this convention are more
important than anythat have ever been
entrusted to municipal convention in
the history Of Utah. and upon the /
honest and faithful performance of 1
that duty will depend the future vel I
fare OF our fair city. You should enter 4

zeal. There are men in the PeoDleis |

never been sullied, and whose ability 4
l. recognized not only in Salt Lake but 1
throughout the Territory Of Utah, and l
abroad in this great land. These are
they whom You are commissioned to
designate as the standard bearers OF I
the Peoples Party in the coming cam
paign. IApplause.l
