ton was made and w. c. Hall, who is
on the Third district ticket for district
judge, was proposed for the place by
Judge Henderson. A dozen or two
brilliant speeches were made against
withdrawing Mr.. Hall from the nomi-
nation he has accepted and at the end
of that time a Salt Lake delegate an
nounced amid a roar of laughter that
Salt Lake had been converted and Mr.
Halls name was no longer considered.
Then it was Judge Whitecotton by ac-
clamation.
The incident of the convention most
regretted was in connection with the
supreme court nomination.
Judge A. Miner arose when nominal
tiOns were called for and made talk
from the stage withdrawing his name
as candidate Although his speech
was disconnected the delegates gather

and when he intimated that he Gid not
want to get on the ticket anyway as he
thought it would be defeated, there
were numerous audible groanS.

DECLARES
SILVER THE MAIN ISSUE
DeVOteS Much of His Time in Crossing MICHIGAN
to Discussing the Financial Question.
Says That Bryan is Elected Free Coinage Will Almost
Certainly be Carried Out.

Grand Rapids. Mich, Sept. Gov
ernor Roosevelt had quite a little to say
| about silver in his speech-making to
day. In a speech here he declared that
silver was the paramount issue
Said he:
1.-The leaders among our opponents
are doubtless uneasily conscious that
their free silver policy would be dis
astrous to the welfare of our country;
but having played the part of dema-
gogues. they must now reap the fruits
of their action. If they came into
power, their possession of power would
throw this country into commissions of
disaster. They would be obliged to
make war upon the principles Of sound
finance.
THE victory of Mr.. Bryan would
mean such a Strengthening of the foes
of honest money as to powerfully i'm
press every Wavering mind in the SEN
ate, so that free silver legislation could
probably pass both houses; and any
secretary of treasury who would ac-
nothing but follow a course which
would plunge our financial system into
chaos"
Says Silver Comes First.
At Lansing the governor said:
The one Indispensable requisite to
financial and Industrial prosperity is a
sound currency. We can get along
after a fashion with a good many fea-
lures of our industrial system dislO-
Gated. but we cannot get along if we
do not have an honest and stable cur
rency- That. then, is a matter of the
very first importance to the nation
The currency question is a question
that goes right TO the root of our ma
tional we'll being, and the only posi-
bic excuse for disturbing the currency
would be the belief that it is an issue
of the first importance. Either it is
the greatest issue that can be raised,
or those raising it are guilty of the
greatest wrong TO their fellow citizens
If they do not believe it is paramount
issue. then let them abandon it en-
tirely.
There cannot be a greater issue
than the issue that goes to the we'll
being of every home in the land and
that goes to UNFOLDING the national
honor. Unless our opponents were will
ing that the issue should be regarded
as important new as twas four years
ago, then they did a foul wrong 70
their fellow countrymen by raising it
at all.

When Judge Kings gavel fell at 9:20

filled and a note from Manager Pyper
was spread out on the table urging the
convention to complete its business by
the noon hour, as the house would have
to be prepared for the Henry Miller
performance in the evening.
The first thing done was to refix the

to adjourn.
Worked Over Five Hours.
For five and a half hours steady they
were in session yesterday, beginning
at a. m IN that time they transacted
an enormous amount of business, the
time consumed in debate being taken
into consideration. When the conVen-
ton adjourned Thursday midnight
there was a hard days work before
1t, and no one realized it more than
Chairman King, who was at the the
atre as early as any member, and who
welded the gavel throughout with
great ability. The first order of bust
ness, the nomination of the next state
auditor, was accomplished without de-
lay. Henry N Hayes, the successful
candidate was easily the conventions
choice, his nearest opponent being NJ
f Murray of Sdnpete.
Bob" Lund was the choice for state
treasurer and a better selection it is
conceded, could not have been made.
Judge Weber's selection for attorney
general came nearer being unanimous
than any of the contested places on the
ticket. The Salt Lake delegation cast
its entire representation of 124 votes for
the Ogden candidate and seventeen
other counties We're solid for him
Judge Weber received 465 votes of a
possible 524. Ricy H. Jones of Box
Elder being his competition for the
place.
Contest For Superintendent.
The greatest fight of the convention
was over the nomination for superin-
tendent of public instruction between
Nathan T Porter of Davis county and
Miss Elsie Ada Faust of Salt Lake.
The debate in this contest occupied
two hours and was by far the most
heated heard in the two days. Three
times apparently waS the convention
swerved in complexion by the brilliant
and conclusive arguments advanced by
either side. Mr.. Porter won out purely
on his merits an educator with the
demand for female representa- ton led
by Hon. Matte Hughes Cannon and
Hon. Alice NJ. Horne, against him.
Miss Faust's supporters made d bril-
liant showing but when matters had
quieted down the concensus of opinion
seemed to be that the convention had
done the right thing in naming Mr..
Porter
The name of Judge Powers. when pro-
posed by Chairman King, as one of the
presidential electors, again brought the
to it's feet cheering. The
judge was nOmin ed by reclamation
and by ballot H c. ThOresen of

were named as his running mates.

BIG STRIKE IS =
ALMOST CERTAIN
President of Mine Workers
Predicts One.
FINAL ACTION WILL
BE TAKEN TODAY
Belief Is That Nearly $4,000
Men Will Go Out.

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. Under the
constitution of the United Mine Work
.ers OF America, the executive board
must decide before s o'clock tomorrow
night upon the application of the dis
trict embraced in the anthracite region
for permission to strike.
Indications tonight are that before
the time limit has expired messages
will have been sent to the presidents
of the three districts in question an
nouncing that permission has been
granted. Following these messages
will be others ordering the men out of
the mines.
The question of ordering the strike
was not submitted to a vote at the
meeting of the executive board, which
was in session here all day, but Presi-
dent Mitchell said tonight:
Il said some time ago that in my
opinion there would be a big strike.
After talking with my colleagues all
day L have no reason to change my
mind"

No Actual Results Yet.

Insofar as actual resU,Cs are con-
cerned, the situation is practically the
same as yesterday. The deliberations
today were for the purpose of putting
the members of the executive board in
possession of these facts. which must
necessarily enter into their consider
alton before a Strike can be ordered.
The facts embraced three questions:
Will all the men strike? How can the
1000 people be maintained during the
strike? Can the bituminOus district
prevent coal from being diverted to aid
the anthracite OperatOrS2 all have
been satisfactorily answered.
If all the 1890 men strike. it is ar
gued by the mine workers officials
that the strike can be won in thirty
days. There is. it is said, plenty of aid
IN sight to maintain the strikers and
their families The organizers and Of
hcials of the bituminOus districts have
been called here, and all report favor
ably on the ability to prevent diver
sion of coal.
