ton that w. I. Snyder suggested an
immediate ballot on the free-fOr-alI
plan Finally H F. Booth of Salt
Lake hook the floor. He said a supreme
judge should be a man in whom the
people would have confidence When
he gave a decision il should be one
that embodied the law and the Justice
of the case Such man, he thought
was George F Goodwin Of Salt Lake
In placing the name of Judge Barjrh
before the convention Mr. Snyder of
Summit rather resented Mr.. Booths re-
mark that a man who knows law is
needed on the supreme bench The
Salt Laker promptly disclaimed any
intention of insinuating that Judge
Bartch is no lawyer Snyder accepted
the apology, and the incipient disturb
ance was niDDed-
D. n. StraUp of Salt Lake felt that
he had en- hOnOred duty to perform. He
proceeded at once TO get 1t over by
secOndinS Judge Bartch'S nomination
Other SecOnding speeches followed in
rapid style It was easily seen that
Bartch had the best of it. All Of the
southern counties seconded his nominal
ton. and SO did many others Judge
Goodwin was seconded principally from
Salt Lake, although Sanpete came 10

Before the ballot had proceeded half
way down the list of counties IL was
certain that Bartch had won Judge
Goodwin had a little the better of him
IN Salt Lake county, but he didn't have
anywhere near enough to win

Demonstration For Sutherland.

Willard L. Snyder of Summit was the
hrst to secure recognition from Chair
man Brown. Mr.. Snyder had George
sutherland on his mind. In a speech
OF about five minutes length he ex-
hausted the vocabulary of nice things,
showering them all in one bouquet at
the feet of the Salt Lake lawyer. The
demonstration that followed the close
OF Mr. Snyder's speech was probably
the most spontaneous of the cOnven-
ton 1t was certainly the most pro-
lOnged.
Then came Dan Harrington of Salt
Lake Mr. Harrington rose to second
the nomination Of Mr. Sutherland. He
said great many nice things in the
limited time he was on his feet, but
added nothing new TO the verbal
wreath of laurel that had already been
placed on Sutherland's brow
When the cheering for Harrington's
remarks had died away F. 3. Critch-
