ceQeQ that IN all the ennObl1ng and
more refining attributes that women
are superior to the men. Such being
the case, we have reason to anticipate
that of the forty thousand additional
votes that will be cast at the ensuing
election in November. the Republicans
will receive much the larger number.
Our worthy governor recognizing
this class CT citizens, has honored them
with representation on the boards Of
the university agricultural college,
state school for the deaf, dumb and
blind. reform school, and it is safe to
predict that the silk commission will be
composed almost exclusively of women.
That the government of those var
ious state institutions will be improv-
ed, and their general usefulness ex-
tended by the influence and wisdom of
women-woman who was last at the
cross and first at the sepulchre, will be
conceded without question.
Our Republican legislature, ever
mindful of the interests of the state,
has enacted into law many measures to
promote the success of the common
wealth, among which are the land bill,
which will permit US to avail ourselves
of the immense area of land granted
to the state by the enabling act; the
Australian ballot law, which will, with
| out doubt. secure an honest expression
of the choice of the people at the polls;
board of equalization-non-p partisan
to provide the state with proper rev.
enue by a fair and impartial adjust
ment of its burdens; a registration law
(non-partisan in effect in providing for
the appointments of ali registry agents
| by the county commissioners.
1T has also crystaliZed in form Of
law:
THAT females employed as workers
| in the public schools of this state,
shall in all cases receive the same com
pensation as is allowed male teachers,
! for like services, when holding the
same grade certificates.
Upon the Republican party is placed
the responsibility of the government of
| this state and its various institutions.
That it will be equal to the task, none
that have marked its progress or have
studied its history viii doubt. 1t was
created to save the Union. 1t performed
the task imposed upon it with signal
ability, during the trying period OF Lin
! coins administration. 1t constructed
the government after it had conquered
a peace successfully and economically.
| Its administration of our finances was
the envy of the world. Prosperity and
contentment Travelled hand in hand
| throughout every state in the Union.
The agriculturisr found an ample and
| lucrative market for the products of
| the soil; the manufacturer. for his
wares, and the laborer ample remu-
neration for his services, to sustain ana
| educate his family.
| "Our Democratic friends alleged that
| this was all wrong; that We were I'M
poverishing our people because OF the
money we HAD in the treasury, because
we deemed it good policy to protect our
! 60, nd
! free trade, free wool, free lead, in fact,
all raw materials should be free. as
the panacea for our ills.
This. they administered in the form
of TIE Wilson bill. The result of their
remedy is known to all the people OF
the United States. 1t is apparent TO
agriculturists and manufacturers, the
artisan, the laborers- and 10 the miners
| of this inter-mountain region.
ITO correct these numerous evils ana
TO restore silver, is the mission of the
Republican party, and it is your priv
/ ilege and duty to select, from among
YOUR citizens, six able, independent
! fearless advocates that will properly
represent our great state at the ma
tional convention
Once or twice the reading was inter
rupted by applause, especlalIy Wheii
! reference was made to free silver
MISS FARNswORTH INTRODUCED.
At the conclusion of his speech Mr..
Doolv introduced Miss Julia a. FARMS
worth, the central committees new
/ secretary. Miss Farnsworth was ac-
/ corded hearty applause as she came
/ forward and in a clear and loud voice
read the call.
These preliminaries being over Chair
man Dolly introduced as temporary
chairman Hon. John E. Booth Of Utah
county.
TEMPORARY ORGANIZATION.
/ A rousing round of cheers went up
at the mention of Mr.. Booths name,
only to be renewed again when Mrs
Jennie V Nelson of Weber county, was
presented as temporary secretary.
Before coming down to business Mr.
Booth expressed his surprise, which,
however, was of a pleasant nature, that
he should have been selected as the
/ first temporary chairman of the first
state convention in Utah 1t was
doubly pleasant for him to contem-
plate the honor, he said, considering
that he was from Utah county, the
greatest county in the territory. (Cries
of mo, No, we are a state now.o The
necessary correction was made and
then Mr. Booth said the time was all
at the other END of the convention and
he would set a good example by not
/ taking up any time in any further at
tempt at speechmaking. (Cheers.)
MR.. KENYON SAT UPON.
The first clash between Salt Lake
delegatio and the field then occur
red. Sam J. Kenyon gained the floor
and said that owing to the limited
amount of time in which the conven-
ton had to finish up its work he would
move that each committee be constitut-
ed by a member from every judicial
district. This would give Salt Lake,
Tooele and Summit counties three rep
resentatives on each committee, a rep
resentation which, by reason of the
large Republican majorities rolled up
at the last election, they were entitled
to- The committees of former conven-
tons had always been too large and
! if his proposition was adopted it would
expedite the work.
Immediately a storm of protests
arose from the outside delegations and
when a delegate from Davis county
moved that the usual way of appoint
| ing committees-one from each county
in the state-be proceeded with. it was
carried, all but the home delegation
voting for the amendment.
THE COMMITTEES.
After the storm of cheers that fol-
lowed this result. Sam Kenyon moved
that the roll of counties be called and
that the chairman of each county dele
cation name the members on each COM
mittee. The following was the result;
Observation-Disclosures, Angus Mcleod;
Box Elder, H. D. Page; Cache. VIM. H.
Thayne; Carbon, L. S. Dickerson;
Davis Mrs Lucy A Clark: Emery J.
