/ his critics and detractOrs, are the enemies
/ of the people Of Utah.
! His most grevious fault seems to be
/ his supposed wealth. together with an
/ insinuation. now and then, that he is
using it 10 encompass his election AS
to the truth Of this charge. I am in total
( ignorance. The evidence is unsatisfac-
tory and far from convincing One thing
is manifest that his enemies have moi
had the opportunity to count any of his
cash. If they had. they would have
either accepted il and wheeled into his
column. or they would expose him TO the
pubic and to the members Of this as
semBly by the evidence in their posses
sion. The fact that he IS not in favor
with the alch-enemy of the party TO
which / belong. So far from influencing
me against strongly impreSSeS we with
the conviction that he is the man whom
the representatives of the Democracy
ought to support.
Without the fear of criticism. or the
hope Of reward other than that which
comes from q consciousness Of diScharg-
ing what l believe 70 be my duty. / now
cast my vote for Hon. y. W. McCune.
The ballot resulted: McCune, y:
King, 16; Cannon. Z; Mccormick, Is;
Nebe9ler, /: Sutherland. !.
On the next ballot, the forty ninth,
Representative Fullmer, who left King
or the seventeenth and voted for Me-
Cune until the twenty sixth, again
withdrew from Kings support and an
nounced himself Tor McCune.
FARR WANTS ELECTION.
Representative Fa1r, since the thirty
ninth ballot on last Monday a King
supporter, also came back to McCune's 5
column with Fullmer.
In changing his vote Mr.. Farr said:
I deem it my duty to elect or assist in
~ iTe+
much as 1 regard il my duty TO enact or
assist in enacling laws for the benefit OF
the state. Members might come here and
vote their personal choice from the be-
ginning to the end OF the session without
accomplishing definite results. That is
evident by what has occurred and what
IS happenlnS every DAY 1here Is not
much craftsmanship in doing that.
Now, il appears that some of us must
change OUT minds. | voted for my choice
the choice Of my constituents, for some
thing ike forty ballots. but no substantial
progress was made and as l was assured
that Judge King could be eletced II l
voted for him, changed my mind with
a view of settling matters. So I voted
for him, but ne was not successful and
am therefore coming back TO Mr.. McCune
l am not ike the gentleman who has lust
spoken Representative O'NeiD / do not
think 1t Is impossible for Mr.. King to be
elected; neither for Mr.. King TO be elect
ed neither 90 I think it is impossible for
Mr.. McCune or Frank J. Cannon or judge
can be victorious if we will only change
our minds. So, for today, with the hope
of electing a United States senator. 1 shall
vote for Hon. A. W. McCune..
The significant change in the ballot
was the swelling of McCune's vote from
q to % at Kings loss to IA.
The fiftieth and ffty-first ballots
gave the same result as the forty
ninth, there being no other changes
announced after Fullmer and Farr had
changed
