THE REPUBLICAN WOMEN.

The county convention of Republican
women convened at the city hall yes
! terday morning at IL o'clock and was
called to order by r. H. Whipple,
chairman Of the mems county central
committee.
By what authority Mr.. Whipple as
sumed control of the organization no
one seemed to know, as he said the
ladies were entirely Independent of the
men and would manage their own af-
fairs; in fact, he said that he was the
originator of the plan to have the wo-
men organize separately.
After some little trouble the conven-
ton effected temporary organiza-
ton, with Mrs. F. ]. Cannon, chair
man, and Mrs E. B. Graham, secre-
tary, and r. H. Whipple, general SUI
perintendentr and managing director
which latter position was simply as
sumed by the willy chairman of the
mems committee.
Mr.. Whipple explained that it would
be necessary to appoint a committee
on credentials and that it was usual
/ to name one member from each pre-
cinct, which was done.
Then the manager suggested that
committee on permanent organization
and one on resolutions, composed of
five members each, with some level
headed man as an advisory board,
should be appointed.
The chair named as the committee
on permanent organization. Madams
William Driver, NJ. A. Breeder, J. L.
Boreman, r. NJ. Spivey and Miss Rose
Garfield, with r. Ii. Whipple advisor.
On resolutions the chair named
Madams p. H. Emerson Thompson, A.
j. Warner, E. j. Bagley and c. NJ.
Brough with Hon. Joseph Stanford as
advisor
The work of the convention was then
completed. so Whipple said, and he
advised the ladies to take a recess until
2 o'clock, which was done.
AT the afternoon meeting the COM
mittee on credentials reported no con-
testing delegates, and Mr.. Whipple
said it was all right, so the report was
adopted.
The committee on permanent organ
iZatiOn of the convention reported the
names of permanent officers as follows:

rotary, Miss Florence Wade. A plan
of organization for the county was also
suggested, which was adopted

I'VE, The representatives of the Re
publican women of Weber county,
Utah, in convention assembled do
hereby adopt as their platform the
great principles of the Republican
party, because We believe in the ad-
vanced civilization of our day as tend
ing to liberalize social and political
ideas and prepare women to exercise
the right of franchise; and
Whereas, Intelligence and integrity
and Improvement are the fundamental
principles of a Republican form of gov
eminent;
Resolved, That every woman in
Weber should devote sufficient time
and energy to the study Of our ma
tional affairs as will enable her to fully
comprehend the same and affiliate her
self with the party which has always
fOstered a liberal intelligence, pre-
served the integrity of our country at
home and abroad and favored an ac-
tive and aggressive policy in the con-
duct of our public affairs.
Resolved, That the party of Lin
coin, Grant and of Garfield and Blaine
is that party and, inspired by their no

American labor; to the granting of
reasonable bounties to infant indus
tries, and we pledge our answering
devotion to the cause of the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio

women of this territory to align them
selves with that party and to assist in
making Utah representative state
We emphatically express ourselves
IN 1aVor OF the free public school sys-

we demand that the Republican
party nominate to Office men of good
moral principles, VINO will stictIv en-
force the laws of this country
MI. Glassman was conspicuous nv
ms absence and it is minated that
ne don't like the way things are
going. Some of the notices of meet
lngs published in the Standard and
the meetings themselves have not
gi9ed. The meetings have not been
held as advertised, which shows a
want OF understanding somewhere.
The county league was Organized

Mrs. P. H. Emerson, president:
Mrs. William Driver, first vice-presi- |
dent; Mrs. F. J. Cannon. second vice |
