turned he will steer clear of caucuses.
His measures were mostly relating TO
stock, but he created quite a stir in
the matter of demanding the removal
of the capital and a clear title TO all
lands He was one of the most obsti-
nate members, though, and once he
made up his mind no amount of rea-
soning could move him. He has very
good opinion Of himself and thinks his
own judgment good.
WILLIAM H. CLARK
even exceeded Johnson in extravagant
promises during the campaign. With
tlambuoyant eloquence he told the
people that he wanted mortgages
taxed; that a lawyer would not make
a good legislator and he would do bet
ter; that he believed in bounties to the
fullest extent and would make every
endeavor to have the legislature estab-
fish sugar factory in Sewer county;
that he would show up the Governor
in his true light; that he believed sin
protecting them animals that roams
over the mountains and says 'Ba' .;
that he would prove a Moses to lead
the people of Sewer out of all their
troubles. However, when he arrived
at the legislature he seemed to change
his mind about some matters, and
while he presented several bills and
"
comparatively harmless. He is a man
who has a high opinion OF his own
abilities.
H. M. DoUGALL,
the only man who did not occupy
seat during the whole session, is
plegmatic man of very good person
atty. He is an enthusiastic bounty
advocate and cannot see how unjust
1T is to give away the taxes to the
2 few IN hi
made no speeches and therefore his
conduct can only be criticised in crit
icising his party.
IRA D. WINES,
the largest man in the House and the
chosen attorney for the beet-growers
who want their hands in the treasury,
is much more open to criticism than
any one else on the Republican side.
He would give no reasons on the fool:
why he wanted bill for beet bounty
passed. but Insisted on its passage. He
was inclined to be indolent and to let
matters take care of themselves, and
cut but small figure.
DAVID MCKAY,
from the north, is another Republican
OF the radical kind, ever ready to vote
for his part and not prepared to give
any logical reason. His one ambitious
speech was not a strong effort
AQUILA NEBEKER.
The most picturesque figure on. the
Democratic side of the House was
Nebeker, pronounced by the chief clerk
or the Council Neb-ek-er with the ac-
cent on the second syllable. He came
TO the Assembly with experience as a.
legislator and has been looked up to as
one who knew how to do business on
occasion Personally he has been a
great favorite On the floor he has not
made many speeches, contenting him
self with quiet but forcibJe private
conversations. On some political cues
ions and others affecting his part of
the country, he has made short speech
es, replete with logic and very i'm
pressive. As member of the minor
lty he has not had an opportunity to
do much, but one of the most innpor-
tant measures that came up-that to
unite the university and Agricultural
college-owned him as its father.
Through the whole session he showed
remarkable generalship and was sue
cessful in almost everything he under
look He was a good representa- tive
of his section of the country, and
looked after the whole people.
JOSEPH Monsoon.
Who came from the same bloody
first" district, was marked down as a
( "haySeed" when he first came into the
chamber, but his first speech on the
bounty showed he was not so green as
he looked. He kept up the good i'm
preston when the mortgage PROPOSE
ton came up and whenever the rights
of the farmer or laboring men seemed
threatened he was on his feet and his
speeches, though short, were to ISe
point. On the scheme to unite the two
educational institutions he made his
best effort. He and Nebeker often diff
fered on points where the rights of the
farmer and stock men became the cues
ton and they fought each other as
hard as they ever fought the majority
on any bounty proposition.
D. c. HUBBARD
Came down from the north with a
good majority and though he was the
| youngest man in the House he was
looked upon from the first as an
Authority on educational matters. AL
len and he were almost wholly respon-
sfble for all the school matters that
came back from the committee and he
was found always ready to debate such
a proposition. His speeches were al
ways clear and never wearisome. Or
the protective part of the Republican
programme he had decided views and
several of the majority members were
I
questions that were asked by him Or
business propositions he was seldom
wrong, being careful and clear Drained
His constituents were all treated fairly
and could not complain that they haC
not sent a good representative.
o. w. POWERS
The Grand Sachem of the Tusca
Iroras, he of the little Ratchet, was the
wittiest man on the floor Allen anc
Narian occasionally picked him up bu
they generally dropped the subject
pretty hastily, as they received some
warm replies that made them fee
rather uncomfortable. There was
many an important measure that wa:
suggested by him. The police and fire
| BILL over which he worked harder thar
an anything else, was the occasion of {
hard fight, with many prominent Re
lpublicans working against the measure
and bringing partisan arguments t
bear. Yet he won the fight and sue
Iceeded in getting through one of thu
most important measures of the ses
sion. On bounty he was bound down
to some extent by the platform OF
which he was elected, but he made
some very good speeches on points di
viding the two parties. in which h,
showed up the Republicans in thei
true light. He took firm stand OF
most questions and had a great deal 0
Influence. The bonding bill, TO builC
one wing of the capitol, came from
him instead of from the Republican
side.
DAVID STOKER
When here last session did not sal
much, but acquired reputation of be
ing a quiet, earnest and intelligent leg
islator. This time he made only two O
three speeches and those not very Ion,
Jones. but his propositions were al
ways businesslike. His most i'm
iportant measure was that to opel
