Which do you consider paramount
silver or protection"
Il am not prepared to decide that
question. My opinion is that the two
should go hand in hand
do you believe in the free coinage
of silver without waiting for the con-
sent of any other nation on earth?"
Yes, 1 do; 1 believe we are capable
of managing our own affairs
do you endorse Senator Browns
course?"
Yes, 1 believe he acted very con-
sistently, so far as l know. | do not
believe in obstructing legislation. My
understanding is that he voted for sill
yer until it was defeated and then was
willing TO take up the Dingley tariff
bill. His action / consider perfectly
right
Then, if elected, you will vote for
him to succeed himself in the United
States senator"
L don't know as to that. I have
not made up my mind
Have you pledged yourself to any
candidate?"
mo, 1 am one of those who holds
himself open to conviction. 1 am
man who is always ready to learn
do you approve of the eight-hour
law?''
Yes, I think it is a good law. 1 am
friendly to labor and believe it should
be protected"
You are a Mckinley MANI"
81 am for the Republican nominee. l
regret, however, that the St. Louis
convention did not put different
financial plank in the platform"
What is your opinion of Candidate
Holbrook?"
7 do not know him. When his name

members of the Utah county delegation
as to his qualifications. They told me
that he would not do. When a man
does not stand well enough at home
to get the endorsement of his neighbors
as to his qualification and ability 1
believe was justified in voting against
him. But since he is the nominee of
the convention he is my candidate
IF Senator Browns name is pre-
sented to the Legislature, will you vote
for him."
II don't know as to that
IF he is the caucus nominee would
you vote for him?"
Yes 1 would vote for him."
you are net opposed to him now ?'
''Oh, no; 1 have no candidate
II you should be elected and a
senator was named who was to be in
structed to vote for silver, first, last
and all the time, before casting a vote
for protection. would you vote for
him?''
Il would oppose any such proposition
as long as l could, but if the majority
agreed to it, I would fall into line
Bishop Stewart is q prominent man
in his section of the county He is
bishop of the new Warren ward and
is watermaster of the Pioneer Power
company's canal in that district He
was candidate for the constitutional
convention, but was defeated. Plain
City, his home, has a population of 500,

STEVENS ENDORSES CANNON.
Bishop T. J. Stevens is Judge Pat
toms running mate for the state senate
on the Republican ticket. He was
brought into prominence last year be-
cause of his alleged connection with
the legislative junta and it is said that
his experience with the steering COM
mittee will hurt him at the polls. He
is solid silver man of the Frank J..
Cannon stripe. Indeed, it is said, that
he and Patton We're placed on the
ticket because of their we'll known
friendship for him. Four years hence
Frank ]. viii be candidate for re-
! ed, viii be hold-over senators.
Bishop Stevens was suffering from a
severe cold and was too i'll to submit
! to what he termed an interview, but
expressed a willingness to answer any
question propounded.
Yes said he, in answer to my
first question, Il consider silver the
paramount issue but 1 also believe in
protection and reciprocity
do you endorse Senator Browns
course?"
ing that I endorse Senator Cannon S
course. I believe that he is right"
Are you friendly to labor?"
~ am
do you endorse the eight-hour law %
.I do. l believe in and will endorse
anything that viii rebound to the bene-
fit of the workingmen. 1 am work
! ingman myself My duties as bishop
bring me in constant contact with
| them and | am constantly trying tic
do something that will better their con-
dition. There are times when men
who assume to be their leaders, and
who have nothing at stake, become
their champions only to bring them
into greater trouble, but with that
! class [ have no sympathy. For the
honest workingman my heart is full
of sympathy and l always try TO sho"
it by word and deed"
A fit of coughing terminated the in
terview, but enough had been said by
the candidate to show that he is the
silver man his friends claim him TO be

lican candidate for the house of repre-
sentatives, lives at West Weber. He
