SALT LAKE, Jan. 15.-Hon. Frank j.
Cannon and Arthur Brown, the Republican
caucus nominees for the United States
senate, have been the recipients of numer-
GUS telegrams from all parts of the coun-
try today, offering congratulations.
Judge G. W. Bennett, who made gal
liant fight and received within three votes
of the required 20, says he is satisfied with
the result. The friends of Col. Trumbo
say that he declined to have his name
used in the caucus because at least fifteen
members, favorable to his nomination, had
gone into the meeting with the understand
ing that it was to be only conference and
not binding.
Col. George Pepper Morris, whose name
was before the caucus, claims that he was
third man in the race, although he received
no votes.
The Tribune editorially this morning
congratulates Cannon on his nomination
and of Arthur Brown says:
''As to the nomination of Arthur Brown,
it was unexpected and will strike the peo-
pie as something in the nature of trick
and bad faith. Mr. Brown deserves moth
ing from the Republican party. He is not
of the stuff that the ideal sen ator is made.
He has none of the qualities that are
looked for in the incumbent of that high
and illustrious position, but many that one
would suppose should forbid thinking of
him in that connection. The caucus action
as to him can only be explained on the
theory that a sudden madness overlook the
members and in their frenzy, they rocked
not of consequences. His election will
mean nothing good for Republicanism
locally; it will signify nothing for Utah be-
fore the nation.'
Arthur Brown was born on farm near
Schoolcraft, Mich, in 1S43. He attended
school at Antioch college, Ohio, where he
graduated in 1862. From there he went to
Ann Arbor, Mich, taking higher academ-
ical course, and studied law. receiving the
second degree, A. NJ, and was admitted to
the bar in 1864. He practiced law at Kali
amazoo, and built up large practice there.
He removed to Salt Lake in 1879, and at
once entered into the practice of law.
He has always been stalwart Republic
can, and ook an active part in Republican
work long before the division movement.
and was among the first who engaged in
organizing what is known as the division
movement of the Republican party.
Frank j. Cannon of Ogden is q son of
George q. Cannon: was born at Salt Lake
the university of Utah, and graduated in
1878. He is printer and newspaper
writer. and is connected with some of the
largest commercial enterprises in the state.
He was delegate to the Republican ma
tional convention in 1892; a candidate for
congress the same year, but was defeated
by j. L. Rawlins.
He was elected as territorial delegate to
the Fifty-fourth congress, and served in
that capacity until Utah was admitted into
the union state.
Mr.. Cannon took an active part in the
last campaign, making speeches in every
important place in the state. He is an
advocate of free silver and protection.
BROWN SEEMS DISLIKED
DENVER, Col, Jan. 15.-The Rocky
Mountain News will say editorially of Hon.
Frank j. Cannon, Republican senatorial
nominee:
Among the young Republicans of Utah
no better selection could have been made.
While he is a strong protectionist, he is
also an ardent silver man, and his voice
and vote in the senate will be heard with
those of Teller and Jones and Morgan and
other free silver leaders in favor of the res
