the second Ballot.

Salt Lake, Jan. 14.-George @. Can
non published a card in the Deseret
News this afternoon in which he said:
II desire in this public manner to say
to all my friends and especially to those
who have been so kind as to express
themselves in favor Of my being elected
to the United States senate that l am
not a candidate for senator and could
not accept that office"
The republican legislative caucus or
conference was called to order at 8:15
tonight behind closed doors to discuss
the senatorial question. The formal no.
tice of George @. Cannon this after
noon that he would not accept the sem
atorship simplified matters.
The call for the meeting was signed
by a number Of members with the un-
derstanding that action taken on the
senatorial question should not be bind
ing. However, when they settled down
to business it was decided that the ac-
ton of the caucus should be binding.
It was also decided that a secret ballot
should be taken for both senator's
The rules were afterwards suspended
and Frank ]. Cannon nominated by &C
clamation. Twenty-Five votes were nee
essary to nominate. On the second bal
lot Arthur Brown received "a votes and
G. w. Bennett 10. Brown was therefore
declared the nominee.
No other names were before the con
