Salt Lake. Utah, April s.-The Repub-
lican state convention has selected
Frank J. Cannon, Arthus Brown, c. E.
Allen. Isaac Trumbo. W. S. Mccormick
and Thomas Kearns as delegates to the
st. Louis convention.
The convention was called to order at
II o'clock by Chairman Dooly in a few
we'll chorsen remarks outlining the is
sues of the coming campaign.
Chairman A. L. Thomas made an elo-
Quent speech in the interest of Republi-
can principles and closed with strong
appeal for protection and bimetall!sm
for the best interest of the party and
country.
Congratulatory kilograms Were re-
ceived from Senator Brown ard Repre-
sentative Allen.
The platform is confined almost en-
tirely to protection and bimetallism and
the sense Of the convention is expressed
in the following language:
I'VE believe in a protective tariff; we
believe in reciprocity; We believe in BIZ
metallism, which is the full recognition
alike of gold and silver and their free
coinage in the minis of the nation at
the ratio of Is to l.
I'VE contemplate with sorrow and
shame the spectacle which our country
presents today because of the attempt
to substitute for a protective tariff a
tariff for revenue, and because of the
destruction os silver as money of final
redemption.
I'VE hold that a policy which has fill
ed the land with idle men, which takes
from labor its honest reward, which
doubles theb urden of debt, which, amid
bountiful harvests. in a time of pro-
found peace, makes necessary the issu-
ing of hundreds of millions of dollars
worth of interest-bearing bonds in order
to meet the current expenses of the gov
eminent is an impeachment of both the
intelligence and integrity of those who
control our government.
I'VE hold that as a tariff for revenue
has failed to restore prosperity, SO a
protective tariff, as long as the money
Of the country is held, ounce for ounce.
100 per cent higher than the money Of
the orient and of Spanish-America. is
fmpotent to save our farmers and manu-
facturerS against competition which
they are helpless to meet, and we repu-
diate the belief that protection without
binetallism can restore prosperity. The
situation makes clear that bimetallism
and protection must be accepted as con-
shutting one vital, indivisibie principle,
that not only the progress but the safe
ty Of the industries of our country and
the toilers who carry on hose industries,
make the acceptance of this principle
neutrality-suspicious. by a tariff to
equalize the wages of our country and
those paid abroad, and bimetallisn to
take from gold its present aDprecia ton
| and to equalize the money of this coun-
| try and that of silver standard nations.
I'VE cordially endorse the stand
| taken in the national legislature by
western senators and representa- tives in
behalf Of holding bimetallism and pro-
| lection together as one.
I'VE ask our delegates to ST. Louis to
| do their utmost to secure in the national
| Republican platform a full acknowl-
| edgment Of the impera tive need of a re-
| turn to read bimetallism and a promise
of Its swift adoption without regard to
other nations, by opening our minis to
the free coinage of gold and silver at a
| ratio of 16 to L.
| Nominations were then called for and
| sixteen candidates were presented
among them Judge C. C. Goodwin and
| Charles Crane. In a neat speech Mr.
| Crane declined the honor and asked his
| friends to vote for Colonel Trumbo.
| Judge Goodwin also thanked his
friends for the honor and declined 70
have his name used.
The ballot for delegates was then
taken with the above result.
