ais on the free list, and specially for its
advocacy of free wool, thus compelling
the wool growers of the territory to
compete with the cheap labor of the
world. and destroying IN industry the fifth

its advocacy of free lead, thus compelling
compete with the cheap labor of Mexico,
working for from 80 to 60 cents per day
Because it advocates the placing of the

CANNON PRESENTED.
| Presley Denny, of Beaver, rose to
make a nomination for delegate to
Congress, and was fairly started when

roll Dy counties. Inc cnd1r ruled the
motion out of order, and Denny, having

Cannon, of Ogden, as nominee for del
