Republican" Convention Will Be
Held September s.
SALT LAKE IS THE PLACE
ADDRESS WILL BE FORMULATE
ED THIS EVENING.
Six Members of the Committee Hold
a Session at the Joint Building
Representation One For Every so
Votes Cast For Holbrook-Con-
gresham King to Be Home Fri
day.

The Republican" convention Of this
state, which will nominate candidate
for congress and a candidate for jus
tice of the supreme court, will meet in
this city Sept. s. The basis of appor-
tionment for delegates will be one for
every 60 votes cast for Lafayette Hol-
brook two years ago.
That much was determined upon at
meeting held last evening.
An address to the voters will be pre-
pared at an adjourned session, which
will be held doubtless. this evening, at
the same time and place the session
last night met and deliberated.
The members present last night did
not exactly know where the gathering
spot was located, but had a misty idea
that the Knutsford hotel was the trysts
ing place. But the clerk informed all
corners that no arrangements had been
made for room there, so John G.
Graham and Charlie Meighan, who
called in two separate calls, came out,
looked up and down the street, and de-
cided that somewhere else had been
selected. Naturally going TO the office
Of the chairman for information, they
brought up at the board of land COM
missioner's rooms in the joint building,
and there was the session.
Chairman Walton, Charlie Meighan,
John c. Graham, Mrs. Emmeline B.
Wells, Mrs. Farnsworth and r. S.
Campbell were in attendance. The
meeting was not public. for there were
some matters up for discussion which
would be better arranged if the debate
on the same was quenched, so it was
decided that newspaper men be kept
out, and they were.
The committee wrestled with the
grave problems laid before it until IL
o'clock, and. there being no likelihood
of the address being completed unless
the committee worked all night. it was
decided to adjourn until this evening.
when a subcommittee. consisting of
Messrs. Walton and Graham, will re-
port the address, which will then be
spread before the people through the
medium of the state press.
From this time on, candidates for
congress and the supreme court may
be expected to bob up here and there
all over the state. The boys can now
come out of the woods and declare
themselves.
Congressman King left Washington
yesterday for home and is expected
here Thursday afternoon or Friday
morning.

Mr. Johnson was a man with a reputa-

other states, and occupied a prominent
place in public affairs for over so years,
and for the last 80 years of his useful
life was a resident of Salt Lake. The
iLfirmities of old age had been creeping
upon him for several years, and lat
terly he became quite feeble, but it
was only a week ago that it became
evident that the end was very near at
hand. He was stricken with paralysis
several days ago, and remained in a
partial comatose condition until his
spirit passed away yesterday, when the
sun was at the zenith. He was mem

The Tendency of Toryism

We are very much inclined TO think
that a good deal Of weight is TO be at
tached TO the views of Senator Teller
and other public men who have spoken
TO the like effect on the subject of Ger
many's attitude at Manila They think
that the course OF the Kaiser may have
been dictated by the REASONABLE Tory
talk in this country. in opposition to
our permanent possession of the Phil
ippine Islands.
II would be natural that such utter
ances should impress the German EN-
peror with the idea that. after the war,
public opinion might compel the United
States to abandon its Far Eastern ac-
QUESTION. Probably the fact that near
ly the whole of the American people are
united on the contrary policy is not
well understood abroad, as yet. Sup
posing that a fair chance existed for
our surrender Of the Philippines. We
can see why the Germans would want
to be on the ground to seize the terri
tory that we had been foolish enough
TO relinquish.
Whether this theory goes to the root
of the matter or not, one thing is as
clear as day. and that is that-popular
sentiment ought to be educated up TO
