Aliens Boone.
Aliens friends started boom for
| him by calling on him for speech.
Various supporters tried to counteract
this by motion to adjourn until !
o'clock, which was lost.
On the motion of Jack Daveler, Mrs
! A. V. Taylor and Mrs. Campbell were
! appointed to escort the blushing Allen
to the stage.
John T. Lynch thought there was
too much show about this. Allen
ought to come up and speak his piece
without ladies escorting him.
Lynch and his profundity were sat
upon by the chair.
Allen could not be found and George
Olsen moved that Lynch speak till
Allen shows up"
John 7. Lynch "Orates."
Lynch, glad of the opportunity,
quickly pedaled his personality to the
stage, where he was greeted with cries
! for ALLEN" and ''Va1ian.'
John T. declared he appeared to
make a speech for the first time
where a woman presided.
He was a lady suffrage man from
away back. Years ago he tried to get
women enfranchised in Colorado, but
failed.
Utahs prospects then received at
tention at Lynch's hands and the in
telligence of her people was comment
ed on, which dissertation was followed
by few remarks on the Importance
OF the work of the convention. John T.
advocated avoiding chicanery trickery
and clap trap. Inasmuch as the charac-
ter of the territory will be known by
its senators, he urged especial careful
ness in selecting men who will choose
those officers.

ed to be a level headed person Con-
! gress was tough place. (Cries of AL

one raised laugh by yelling for
Ferguson" Burmester was called for
! and there We're cries for Trumbo

Then silence fell.
1t was broken by the announcement
that the committee on credentials

lutiOns, provided the house was ready.
