BRIGHAM CITY, Sept 21-Yesterday' s
Tribune saws The Herald lied when the
latter stated that Wells, Allen, Cannon
and Company were receiving a cool re-
ception in the north, adding, "TIe (The
Herald) had not heard one word to justify
any such statement
Box Elder county sends greeting to The
Herald and corroborates its statement, at
least as far as the meeting the "extin-
guished'' trio gave in the capital of the
county last evening.
There was not only a cool reception
given them at tie opera house last night.
where there were leo to 200 frigid empty
seats staring the "conquering heroes .(?)''
square in the face during the entire even
ing, but even the elements combined
against them and gave the low spirited
party a prophetic snow-under, as they
alighted from the train and We're con-
Quoted shiverng through the streets in
a heavy snow storm. This chilly symbol
of what will overtake them on November
9Th seems to have been exceedingly damp
ening to the ardor Of the speakers.
Cannon. is usually high spirited and
chuck full Of bursts of dramatic elo-
quence, but last evening he made but
room was uncomfortably chilly; the peo-
pie sat low in their seats, wrapped up or
buried in their coats or wraps. 1t re-
quired an unusual ''burst' of Frankie s
to draw their thoughts away from the
north pole positions long enough to ap-
plaud the little giants polished periods.
Allen made a long, tedious speech on
decidedly prosaic subjects. Many of his
hearers thought If it were possible that
the people of Utah should send such a dry
stick to represent them in Congress, what
q rush there would be to the cloak rooms
whenever it was announced that the Utah
man was to have the floor. How differ
ent it would be with the eloquent and
statesmanlike E. II. Roberts, the Utah
boy-the comparison is odious.
Heber Wells spoke also. No. you could
hardly trrthfully say he "spoke," for
most of his "spoking' was reading. Yes,
Heber read the Republican platform
amid the silence Of the audience. He did
1t too. like school boy. The people were
a little disappointed that this successful
play-actor didn't get more stacy and elo-
cute as he doth on the boards. Had he
done that he might have made hit. a
prominent Democrat remarked after the
meeting that "Heber was a nice little
fellow and he felt bad to see him stand
ing up there with his lines unlearned
and no prompter in the wing" The hi
cycle was never once alluded to. Heber
made poor impression here.
l almost forgot to mention that during
Cannon's speech, his prudence got away
with his better Judgment and he gave
away an old Republican trick-one prac-
ticed here last fall In the midst of one
of his bursts" concerning Roberts and
Allen, he suddenly dropped his voice to
sweet, meIodious. captivating whisper,
saying, Now if, on the eve of election,
some good brother comes around and
whispers in your ear that it is the wish
of So-and-so in Salt Lake that you
should vote for Brother Roberts in place
of Allen don't, be blinded then, with
another burst newell, everybody VINO
ever heard Cannon knows better than
pen can tell how he ranted and stormed
against the dreadful crime of the opposi-
ton adopting tactics that elected him
self last year.
Cannon also made a big to-do about
Chairman Powers bugaboo $4,000 cam
paign fund, stating that Powers was TO
receive $1,000 for his services and $1,000
if he won the fight. frankie made a
very pretty corruption cry out of it, but
no sensible person present believed there
was any truth in the high-sounding
charges.
Republican State Senator.
Today the Republicans of Box Elder and
Tooele counties met in Brigham in sena-
torial convention. Box Elder was repre-
sented by eighteen delegates; Tooele had
fourteen.
E. S. Lever of Tooele, was chairman;
Robert Guthrie of Corinne, secretary.
1t was an exciting experience for some
of the uninitiated delegates The Cor
inne delegation, good politicians they, de-
clared from the start that they were
there to put in Tom D. Pitts of Corinne,
for state senator; that if any other Box
Elder man was put up they would bolt
the ticket. From the results of the vote
it is pretty plain that this bull-dozing at
titude didn't down worth a cent They
got UP neither Pitt or a Tooele man.
The following nominations were made:
W. S. Hansen of Coll;nston, Tom D.
Pitt of Corinne, Bishop Abram ZandeI
of Willard. Zandel was chosen on the
first ballot by a majority of one. The
vote stood: Pitts, 4; Hansen, II; Zandel,
II.
The bombastic lads will now have 10
eat their words or bolt the ticket. 1t
appears that Hansen was the choice of
the Box Elder delegates. He received
eleven votes out of their eighteen. But
the Tooele delegation seemed to have been
switched over in a body just to suit the
pleasure of ]. NJ. Coombe and ]. T. Rich,
who were for zandel and opposed 10
Hansen. Hansen feels down-hearted over
his defeat. He is acknowledged to be a
superior man than Zandel, both for abn-
ity and strength in the ciunty. Willard
dies hard. but he must still congratu-
late himself that he let the representa-
tive plum pass untouched, for had ne
consented he could have had that sacri-
fetal nomination in place of Gibbs.
On the whole, the Democrats are salts
fed with the ticket gotten up by their
opponents.
The Democrats will hold their sena-
tor.al meeting in Brigham next Monday.
They will put up a man that will make
the modern Abraham think the moon is
made of green cheese.
