(Applause)
Mayor Baskin.
Mayor r. N Baskin said he was
glad the journalists had paid Utah a
visit in body. Utonians, he said, are
proud of their country, and are glad
to have those among them who appre-
ciate its beauties. He then went into
lengthy panegyric on the superiority
of Utah's agricultural products, the
magnificence of her mountain scenery
and the vastness of her mineral stores.
Judge Goodwin.
Judge Goodwin was introduced as the
veteran editor and arose amid pro-
longed applause. His speech was IA
cetious and was altogether a worthy
effort. He said that the mayor had
made mistake in addressing the dele
gates as simply gentlemen. Recently
the people held an important conven-
ton. The people are religious and had
read that men We're just a. little lower
than the angels. They therefore gave
women the franchise in order to be-
come equal with the angels. Qaughter)
Now they believe there is not lady
in the room who is not perfect gen.
tleman. daughter and applause).
All wealth, he said, is hidden behind
adamantine walls. Diligent labor alone
viii open the doors. So it is with that
most exalted of all callings, journalism.
That motto originally read: The pen
in hands entirely great is mightier
than the sword' In honest hands it
is the most potent of all influences for
good. The judges remarks were con-
tinually punctured with applause from
the convention.
Delegates Respond.
The chairman then stated that re-
sponses from the various delegations
were in order Replies, expressive of
gratitude for their kindly welcome and
of admiration of the beauties of Salt
Lake were made. The chairman of the
Louisiana contingent +was spokesman
for that land in the far south. The
Wisconsin delegation was represented
by Mr.. Maggie; the Arkansas by Mr.. c.
G. Newman; the Nevada by Mr.. Bragg,
of the Reno Gazette; California by Mr..
Frank Francis, of San Francisco;
Colorado by Mr.. Bunting
When the responses were concluded,
Mr.. Mcdaniel moved that a committee
of one from each state be appointed on
permanent organization and that a re-
port be made at the morning meeting.
A Colorado delegate offered to amend
so that each delegation should report
its appointment on the same evening
to Secretary Tomson. Mr.. Mcdaniel
accepted the amendment and the mo-
ton carried.
A motion was made and carried that
the Utah Press association be author
lied to appoint committee on creden-
tials.
Mr.. Rognon announced that meet
ing of the committee would be held at
9 O o'clock today and the convention was
then adjourned.
