During the Roll Gall.

AS the roll call proceeded it was
easily to be seen who would be the
successful candidates. The greatest
demonstration came when Salt Lake
county outside was reached and the
precincts called. One after another an
nounced solid votes for the three nomi-
nees. Only once in awhile was there
any break and then it was inconsider-
able in it's Importance. When finally
Tooele was called and responded in
solid votes for the ticket there was
cheer
When Summit county was called at
the end of the list the chairman called
out:
"Wait a minute
Immediately there was a laugh
Those who knew how the Summit dele
cation had been manipulated in the
county delegation were vastly amused
The trouble in Summit, however, was
not due to trading, and it took only a
few seconds to count the vote.
1t took only a few minutes to cast up
the totals and the announcement was
made. Chairman Williams stilled the
applause only long enough to announce
that Eiles, Howat and Young were
nominated, and then pandemonium
broke loose. Everybody in the house,
with the exception of E. D. r. Thomp-
son and a group Of Republicans in one
Of the stalls, were overioyed. Judge
Dey broke in and moved to make the
nomination unanimous. Carried
Judicial District Convention.
During the counting Of the vote

lowing judicial district committee:

Darke and Heber Bennion, Of Salt
Lake; Scion Spiro and John L. Boyden,
of Summit, and J. c. De La Mare. of

During the afternoon Judge Hiles. J.
l.. Rawlfns, Thomas Maloney, Of We
Der and some others sat in one of the
stalls. The crowd took about two sec
onds to catch the situation and then
there was an ovation for 5i lies
His name was clamored from
one end of the hall to the
other until. flushed with pleasure
at the ovation he was compelled to
come forward. AS he reached the
stage the cheers, applause and shouts
were redoubled Chairman Williams
grasped his hand warmly and shook
It, Then turning to the audience he
restored a semblance of order and
said: Il have no need Of introducing
to you Ogden Hiies"
This was the signal for another ova-
ton Cheer upon cheer, wave upon
wave of applause and sho1t e aor
shout OF "Hiles, HiIes." rang tbroupb
the house. The hero of the hour
stood looking at the audience a. mo-
ment. Then he poured out a glass of
water, started to raise it to his Inns
ana set 1t down. Though outwardlv
calm, he was evidently fully impressed
with the occasion. AS he faced the
audience he gave an impression Of
soIldlty, honesty and strength that
Won the sympathy of those before him
Ogden HiIes' Mastery Speech,
