It was a good convention. The
Democrats assembled il good humor
with the thought uppermost in their
minds that the developments of the
last few days have put Salt Lake City
as well as salt Lake county in the
doubtful list and that the Democrats
have a very good chance of sweeping
both of them on the new issue that
has come uD in our politics.

At Ills Chairman Dunbar, of the
city committee called the convention to
order and was received with applause.

he wanted to ask the Democrats to act
wisely in the selection Of a city ticket,
nominating men who would strengthen
the state and other tickets and bring
out the entire Democratic strength of
Salt Lake. II do not want this con-
Tention to- proceed on the theory that
Salt Lake is surely Republican" he
continued. applause. There are ele-
ments among the voters of this COM
munity which are just as changeabla
and just as subject to influence as in
other regions. There are conditions
here which may make Salt Lake city

Democratic, just as the city Of Indian
apolis last week changed from 5000 Re
publican to 5000 Democratic. (Aplause
and cheers). There are men in this
community who have no fixed political
convictions voting with the party that
best suits them at the moment There
are other men on whom political ties

people. Select as good men as the
Democrats have already selected in the
various precincts. If You will make
such nominations and place before the
people men Of ability, good social stand
