Brown made proposition that the other
contest be heard at the headquarters of the
Utah Republican delegation across the
street This was assented to by the sub
committee and could not be objected TO by
the Goodwin crowd, as they had no head

Utah contingent, male ana female, Republi-
cane and Half Breeds, elbowed their way
through the lobby of the hotel, which was
noisy, with

the sub committee. Messrs. Warren. Ro-

silence which was getting painful by ask

gates and Immediately supplemented his
request by announcing that the secretary
of the national committee place upon the
roll of the convention the names of o. ].
Salisbury and Frank J. Cannon, and asked
if there were any others present who
claimed admittance to the convention. Mr.
Cannon stated that he and Mr. Salisbury
had FLED their credentials n full with the
MIR. Warren-That is how it comes that
your names ale on the roll.
c. S. varian here arose and said he ap-
peared in behalf of Mr. c, c. Goodwin and |
c. E. Alien, and wanted to know how it
was there were any names on the rolls at
all, and asked the committee TO

Warner-The secretary having placed
