Dawson, of the Republican State

hushed in preparation for the

In devout and eloquent words
he petitioned the Divine Power

AT the first mention of the
name of the great West Virgin

swept over the convention and
for several minutes proceedings
came to a standstill to allow the
convention to express its enthu-
