The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-09-10


assembled recognizes the moral sup
port, the uplifting tendency and pres
tige women are giving to the common
wealth through the enlarged opportun-
tiles of political equality, and affirm
the belief that women's public service
] in industrial Independence and educa-
/ tional measures will be as helpful in the
state as it has been beneficial in the
home.
! RESOLVED. That we express our APP
probation of the efforts made by the
! women of the state in primitive way
/ TO establish silk culture in the interest
! of labor. and that we urge upon the
Republican party to foster and encour-
age tbs useful home industry. by de-
claring a bounty on this native product,
or by appropriation aiding the estab-
lishment of a silk enterprise.
Resolved. That we commend and co \
graduate the women of the state upon
the patriotic loyalty they have shown
in cheerfully giving their sons, daugh-
tiers. husbands and brothers to fight the
battles OF our country Ill the cause OF
humanity.
We call attention to the fact that the
sugar industry has been established in
this state under the wise principles of
the Republican party, and has grown
to such an extent that this year the
I;rcduct will reach nearly million dol
lars.
We demand that elective officers of
this state. both local and congressional,
shall be selected without dictation from
abroad.
We denounce Democratic misrule in
Utah. both in the legislature and in
the county governments, whereby I'M
just class legislation has been formu-
lated, and whereby in nearly all Demo-
cratic counties county offices have been
filled with incompetent or corrupt Of
ficials.
We denounce that act that the Demo-
cratic legislature passed over the veto
of the governor. abolishing the office
of the district mining recorder and i'm
posing additional burdens upon locators
and UPON miners doing assessment
work IS unjust.
Believing that the repeal of that part
of the state laws of 1895 in regard to the
tbieyery % sheep, cattle and horses
being grand larceny, as repealed by the
last Democratic legislature, to be an
act of great injustice 10 the people of
the state. and pledge the efforts of the
Republican party OF this state to re-
enactment os the law making such
crimes 2 felony in place OF a misde-
meanor.
We demand integrity, honesty. so
briefly and capacity in those who shall
occupy judicial positions.

be brought before this convention. 1
viii read il to you"
We hereby endorse the president of
the United States, the platform upon
which he was elected, and the admins
tration which he has given the people.
We commend the efforts of the presi-
dent TO secure the cooperation of other
great nations in advancing the cause of
silver; and heartily urge further action
by the executive and congress in any
and every direction that will advance
silver interests. while maintaining the
carity OF the two money metals.
When he had finished Editor Glas-
mann moved TO adopt the majority re-
port. Seconded from ali parts of the
house.
Jim Devine wanted the silver plank
read, and was accommodated.
Re then offered to add the silver
plank of 1895 in toto. and this carried
by vote OF 29l TO 1888. The silver plank
was then added to the first portion of
the original plank, and the whole reads
as above.
The platform then was adopted, a
few from the Box Elder delegation.
which promulgated the minority report,
voting against it.
JUDGE ZANE NOMINATED.
The nomination for supreme court
justice then being in order. D. n.
Straup of Salt Lake. in a very excellent
speech. nominated the present incum-
bent. Charles C. Zane. At the mention
of Judge Zane's name there was

the blood 20 run cold in the veins Of
others who. possibly aspired for the
place.

of his county.

a good man that would have made

would second the name of Zane.

nous. and amid cheering the chair so
declared.
