fled. However he moved to make the
nomination by reclamation.
Judge Powers promptly ruled the mo-

Mcdaniel, of Sewer, said a majority
of his delegation would have voted for

from the delegation.
Then finally the nomination was
made by reclamation and Roberts, be-
ing heartily called for, came forward
and made a short speech. He said:
come not here to talk. In next E~ovem-
her I hope L will not forget that I
lived today. This is not the time nor
the occasion for speech. making. The
work that is before the convention at
present forbids it, When the speak
ing begins, / hope that much II it
will be done from the same platform
with our Republican friends. We are
simply here today to form the lines OF
battle. When the nominations are
made then we will move on the enemy
[ thank you for the honor of this
nomination and will do my best to win
in November.
Bryan Pleased.
During Roberts speech Bryan, Of
Nebraska, was evidently taking mental
notes of the man whom he had thus
first met. 1t could be seen that the
national orator was impressed by this
towering giant of oratOry of Utah. AS
the nominee his voice, his gestures,
his words, full of earnest purpose and
agreeable self confidence, spoke his
few words, the NebraSkan was i'm
pressed and heartily Joined in the ap-
plause which was given. Afterwards
Mr.. Bryan expressed most unqualified
admiration for MIR. Roberts End said
that he would make a strong impress
sion on the floor of the House of Re-
representatives..
Then happened one of the most dra-
matte incidents of the day. Mrs. Ella
Jakeman, of Utah county, assistant
secretary, arose and addressed the
chair. She said she would set Mr.
Roberts an example of yielding to the
inevitable. Though it might be dis
tasteful she was willing to abide by the
will of the convention. She had hoped
to be able to support another man for
the nomination, but that was impossi-
BILE. Under the circumstances" she
said, II want to present to Mr.. Roberts
the speech 1 would have made against
him.

and smiling. and the speech was
handed to him.
