Charley Crane, But the DemOc-
rncy VIII Sweep Utah at the
Next Election.
A great many people nave rather
confused idea as to the political events
that will follow the end of the consti-
tutional convention.
The constitution viii fix by ordinance

be voted fer at the same time the con-
stitution is passed upon by the people.
on the first Tuesday after the first
Monday in November
The Utah commission will canvass
the returns and certify the result to
President Cleveland and if the consti-
tuition is adopted he will issue his pro-
clamation by J-nuary !, and the Off
Gals classed as state will at once take
&arge.
HSfembers OF the legislature will be
elected at the time the constitu-
tioa is voted on, and that body viii
meet in January, 1896. The duties of
the first legislative assembly of the
new state will. of course, be oneroUs
and important.
Republican Office Seekers in the
Field.
Although the election is long way
off. the Republican politicians are al
ready in the field. and Charley Crane
has begun an active canvass. Charley
thinks he is entitled 20 the nomination
for governor on the Republican ticket
as a reward for mis- work in organizing
the party, and he is Juggling at every
Mire that can possibly aid him. All
VINO know him admit that he is not
qualified in any respect for such an Of
flee, and yet his position as chairman
of the Republican territorial committee
gives him the control of the machine.
and of course he is not troubled with
any scruples as to the means employed
for advancing his own interests. Char
ley has been making a still hunt
through the outside counties for a
year, and has rallied a good many
cow county leaders to his support But
with his record for incapacity, can he
get the plum? That's the question.
Cranes Chief Rival
Cranes chief rival for the NOM
tnation of governor on the
Republican ticket will, It is
said, be Arthur L. Thomas. 1t is
hardly necessary to remark that he Is

However, the polished and sunshiny
gentleman is likely TO realize that he
has had fight, even if he should sue
coed in going to the Senate, because
Republican statesmen are numerous
and senatorships are few. Judge Ben
nett is in the race, and though
he cannot win, he will de-
velop considerable strength, say the
politicians. He is banking on his work
in the organization of the Republican
party here. Then Bankers Dooly and
Mccormick are both strongly talked of
and Judge Goodwin is in the field.

halls of the legislature would be filed
with those who are begging for public
funds. There may be only a few cor
rupt men in the legislature. but they
might have the strength to give pub
lie funds away. There are different
conditions now than in former days.
vast corporations and trusts have been
ORGANIZED. They are menace to free
institutions. They can defy not only
the power of the state. but even of the
great general government. This was
seen in the history Of the last two
years. when great corporations have
been able to write their will on the
statute books of the nation.
No Mushroom Growth.
If bounty were allowed in the new
state vast corporations would come in
and gain control of our industry. Boun-
ties would be gotten from the legisla-
ture and soon capital would fly away
from the masses and go into the hands
of the few to feed their desire for
wealth. He did not want a mushroom
growth of industry. which might make
a showing that would not conceal dis
tress and disaster. A steady growth
would be much better. That might not
make so many millionaires. but the
people would be in much better con-
dition.
Majority Rule.
Goodwin said that the amendment Of
fered by Roberts was contrary to the
principles of the government of the
United States. Majority rule was the
system of the republic not two-thirds
rule. He would have the taxpayers vote
on the taxation of, their own property.
He said the trouble with Tennessee
was not its giving Of bounties. but its
reluctance to build up anything and its
continuation in voting the Democratic
ticket. He said often prosperity had
been brought by the bountJ- system.
He believed the convention had no
right to place shackles on the free
thought of the people. Behind the pow
er of taxation is the right of the people
to do as they please. He was willing to
go to the length of fixing limit. That
was prudence. The limit should be put
on the corporations. not on the free
thought of the people.
At 1910 the convention took recess
until 2 o'clock.

first to take the floor. He had not in

Murdoch, of Beaver, wanted to leave
the whole matter to the legislature
and not tie its hands.
Useless, But He Did 1t.
James. too. said discussion was use
less, and Immediately proceeded to
discuss. He said that the Republican
policy Of bounty was a policy of adj
vancement and enlightenment. He
said that Utah had an opportunity to
become the greatest state between
California and the Mississippi. This
could be done if the people were enter
prlsing. If the Democrats wanted TO
meet their second Waterloo next fall
he would invite them to be there.
Dennis Gets Dramatic.
Eichnor said he was not afraid of
the question. He was ready to meet
the Democrats on the stump next fall
and say: Lay on MacDuff, and

Heybourne. of Iron. said he wanted
liberty in the legislature to develop
the industries of the territory. He
spoke especially for his own county,
where, he said. there were acres of
coal and mountains Of iron.
Republicans Were Partisan.
Thurman denied the contention of
Goodwin. Cannon and James that the
Democrats had brought up the parti-
san question. He said that, by the
very nature of the case, the Repub-
hcans were assuming a very partisan
position by saying nothing and leav-
ing the whole matter to the legisla-
ture. That was the Republican plan.
In order to show their constituents
they have not forgotten what they
were sent for, the Democrats were
compelled to take action. The whole
matter should not be eft to the legis-
lature- If everything was so to be
left, then the convention might as we'll
dissolve and go home The Democrats
had brought no rancor into the de-
bate. They simply wanted to place
themselves on record. They wanted to
raise their voices now as they had in
the last campaign, so no Republicans
in the future could claim that no one
had dared oppose them and assert the
right.
Thurman Hits Hard.
Eichnor-Do you want to make a
record or do you think you can con-
vert the Republicans by your debate?
Thurman was not SO presump-
tious as to believe that any amount of
argument could make the Republicans
see the right. Qaughter.)
c. P. Larsen, of Sanpete-Do you
believe the Utah sugar factory is a
private institution?
Thurman certainly do.
Larsen-Didn't you vote for the
bounty when you were in the legisla-
ture?
Thurman-Yes, and I'll tell Won WHY.
1 did it for the reason given by the
Republicans why they demonetized sill
ver-I didn't know what was doing
Larsen-But the Republicans are
sorry for what they did.
Thurman-No, they are not. When
they are sorry they will undo the
wrong they did.

tuous enough to believe the Republi-
cans might see the right. But perhaps

that the Democrats should not show them
up on the bounty question yesterday

others are somewhat wearying in their

mands that he be limited to his time.

though they knew very well that he had
plenty of time at his disposal and could
secure as much more as he wanted This
was a very mean and. partisan way OF
breaking OF arguments that could not
be answered
Varian was very neatly put IN a hole
by Evans. of Utah, yesterday. He had
been arguing to the possibilities of the
use of the Pardoniin1g power by the gov
good spread of canvass. when he was
compelled to tack suddenly by the ques-
ton asked by Evans, who said:
Have you known of any instances In
the territory where the pardoning power
has been abused by the GOVERNOR"
OF course Varian has strong opinions
on this subject. On one or two occasions
he excoriated Arthur l.. Thomas, through.
open letters, on the question. and very di-
rectly charged that there had been abuse
of the power. Since then, however. a
truce has been declared. and Varian and
Thomas do not let their marked differ
ences appear on the surface. That &C
counts for Varian'S evaSive reply that he
knew of such cases, but he was in such
them.

dows. Eldredge knows that it requires
drastic measures to hold a quorum. He
escaped during the last legislature with
out waiting to get his hat or coat and
without saying even farewell
Eichnor came in during the afternoon
for one of the heaviest blows he has yet
sustained He arose and said he wanted
to correct an absurdity in question he
had propounded to Thurman. Goodwin
arose and with an appearance Of concern,
asked:
Mr. Chairman: are we going to give the
gentleman from Salt Lake time TO correct
all his absurdities?" Oaughter)
1t will be. remembered that squires
grew very angry at Richards a short
time ago because the latter took him off
his feet with call for the previous ques-
ton. At the time Squires threatened that
he would get even. Yesterday he was in
the chair. and after Richards had spoken

He was willing to stand up for the
Utah sugar factory. He had urged the
people to help it when the sugar trust
had endeavored to crush it. He be-
heved it was a patriotic institution.
But in the future men not so patri-
otto as those who started the factory
may want bounties and may wreck
the state.
Getting More Anxious.
Anderson and James again raised
the point of time but Roberts was
given so much that they were 81

the year before the bounty law had
been passed. To say that nothing but
bounty was in view impeaches, the
good faith of the incorporators. He
denied that sugar factories had been
ablished since the bounty law was
passed. Factories are not founded on
that; they are founded where the end
justifies the means.
To Defeat the Constitution.
He said the question was important.
Nothing would so tend 10 defeat the
constitution as the knowledge that by
it the legislature would have the power
to saddle the territory with debt for

to the system on principle. 1t is vic
ious. He believed the people of Titan

state a glorious one, when all people
were equal.

Cannon denied the point Of Evans
that the bounty was not responsible
for the factory. He admitted that the
corporation was made before the
bounty was made. Yet if bouuties had
not been given the factory would
never have been built. He was sur
prised that Evans, coml1g from LEM,

Creer-Is there not more Democratic
