out the seal of the Brown combination
was not on all of them, and without
his approval they went down to de
feat. He used them and played them
against each other. and apparently he
did not care what became of them at
ter they had served his purpose of wal
Looping the Lannan bosses. His butsl-
ness was to put through his slate, and
he did it with knives in his hand and
scalps in his belt.
Aside frcm the above features there
Yves little worthy of note in the pro-
ceedings. The affair was the slimmest
attended of any state convention
that has ever been held in Utah. Five
cOunties-IrOn, WAYNE, Emery, Kane
and san Juan-weTe entirely without
representation. There were scores Of
empty seats all over the body of the
house, and the specJ atOrs did not half
ill the first gallery. There was an ut
Ter absence Of decorations. Even the
national cOlOrs were wanting. The only
flag in the hall was a small, cheap
banner spread over the Chairman's ia

They failed in this because Arthur
Brown played shreWI politics. He
used them as club to beat the Ian
nan people into submission. and they
seemed to enjoy it. When it was al
over they realized that with the ex-
CeptiOn of Utah and Weber, though
they had dOWned the bosses, they had
none of the piums to show for their
work
This is the way il which the willy
ex-senator used the gentlemen from
the country: Salt Lake men had weeks
ago written to the country delegates
to get proxies. They had their pockets
full of them It was charged on the
floor of the convention that one of
these men had no less than thirty-twO
proxies. 1t was declared that they had
written TO country men explaining
that the work for the convention to
do was not of much Importance. and
that it was not necessary for them to
make the long and expensive journey

VARIOUS KINDS OF SCRAPS.
Convention Permanently Organized
After a Long WrangIe.

AICeT Long WIduS1S-
The morning session was devoted
entirely to the appointment Of commit
tees. W. d. Livingston of Sanpete
| county was the temporary chairman;
b. H Jones of Box Elder county, sec
rotary; Mrs. Emma McVicker of Salt
Lake, assistant secretary, and Paul
Doubay of Utah county, serg-dt-at-
arms. The convention adjourned until
3 o m.
There was the hottest Kind of a fight
from the start off when the convention
met in the afternoon. 1t was a slam
1 bang, Kilkenny cat affair for more
/ than an hour, and it even lasted all
through the convention. E. 3. Critch-
low pleaded and pleaded in his lawyer
like way, but he couldn't accomplish
anything.
Or. A. S. Geddes, he of the microbes
and the snakes that live in Parley's
canyon water, as chairman of the ere
dentials committee, read the report
He did not give the long list of names,
for the reading was dispensed with.
The section of the report that caused
all the trouble was the following:
That no person holding the proxy Of
any delegate or alternate duly elected
to this convention, be allowed a seat
therein unless he be a resident of the
county from which said proxy was
issued"
There was a hot time from the start
Mr.. Houghton, a delegate from the
Fourth precinct of Salt Lake City,
asked for the reading Of the list of
delegates from that precinct, and the
doctor answered him that the list had
not been handed in.
Il would like to call your attention
to the fact that 1 personally handed
the list to you" said Mr.. HOughton,
whereat there was some derisive
laughter But the doctor did not know
what to say about the matter. 1t was
passed over and the delegates from
the Fourth precinct continued to vote
as they had done in the preliminary
organization. In fact, there was no
proper organization of the convention,
and no one knew-at least, the perma-
nent secretary did not know-how
many delegates were entitled to vote.
Provoked By Critchlow.
Then Attorney Critchlow brought on
the warmest kind of a fight He start
ed off in a suave kind of a way, but
he riled the animals considerably.
Il rove" said he, that we strike
out that part of the committees re-
port which declares that proxies must
be held by residents OF the county
from which they are issued. This par
ticular kind of a resolution has to my
knowledge been offered in every Re-
publican convention since 1894, said
he. and it has invariably been de-
feated.

Especial to The Herald from Staff Core
s2ondent)
Scofeld, May 10.-Pay day has been
another reminder of the dire calamity
Of May 1. Although the company's
Offices were crowded all afternoon with
men receiving their money, the rush
of other days, when 300 instead of 100
lined uD at the cashiers window, was
not in evidence, and more than once
the sad fact was commented upon.
The money earned by the victims last
month was turned over to the widows
by representatives Of the company.
We could not ask those women to
come up here for it, said Paymaster
Carpenter, and for that reason the
money was distributed by the company
clerks around ct various houses, each
widow receiving a snug amount, larger
than usual, owing to the magnificent
act of the company in wiping out the
Indebtedness of the dead miners at the
Wasatch store.
Probably the largest amount that
went to any widow was 1925 to Mrs.
James Ferrens, who lost her husband
and son Robert. She received about
this amount, which will go to provide
for herself and two children. The two
FeTrenS, father and son, mad the repu-
tatiOn Of being the most expert in the
mine. Their two checks have aggre-
gated never less than SIG for any
month in the last year and a half, and
this month they would have received
S212. after their bill at the store had
been paid, but as this did not have to
be paid, Mrs. Ferrens received the
full amount as above given. This
means that these two men mined about
SO 900 pounds Of coal in April.
The funeral Of Edwin Street was
held this afternoon at the residence of
the late Dan Jones. The local odd
Fellows administered the fraternal
rites both at the house and cemetery,
and the cOrtege was exceptionally long,
this funeral being attended by friends
Of the family VINO were too busy lay
ing away their own dead the other day
to take part in any other burial ser

Salt Lake .eHogged.

In the words Of a country delegate
who was angry through and through,
Salt Lake county tried so hog the
whole thing" 1t came pretty near do
Ing so. It has four of the delegates,
and three Of the alternates. Unless c.
T.. Loose be considered from the south,
no one OF the southern counties has
delegate while only one Of them, Sc
vier, has an alternate. Salt Lake and
the northern counties have the whole
taing. The list of alternates is also
notable for the absence Of recognized
paSty leaders. Il would be difficult to
describe the turmoil. the heart burn

would have been other cadaveTs
thereabouts but their owners took to
tall timber when they saw the Brown
and Sutherland elephant coming for
them. Arthur Pratt ducked his head
and Colonel p. Henry didn't show his
at all.
1t was an awful catacylsm, consid-
cred from the Lannan point Of view.
The delegates viewed il as marking the
political destruction of all the crowd
that has hung onto the cOattails of the
Salt Lake bosses They may continue
I'm control of the Republican party in
this city, but it is pretty well under-
stood they will have little to say about
state affairs for quite a while to come.
It Was Cut and Slash.
There were knives out in every di-
rectiOn; all of them sharp Arthur
Brown welded a few himself, and he
cut so deep that there will be many
sore wounds. They won't heal right
away.
Ezra Thompson was killed off to
make room for Governor Wells; Chair
man Wesley x. Walton of the Republi-
can state central committee was
thrown upon the ground a CORY wreck;
John Meter, the gallant Utah volun-
toer Of Sewer county, who went to the
war and Tisked his life for his cOun-
try, was trampled upon the ground.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1900-05-11

The great fight of the convention
was on the recommendation of the ere
dentials committee that no proxies be
held by others than residents of the
county from which they were issued.
This hit the Salt Lake people hard.
and their fight on the report was led
by Attorney Z. b. CTitchlOW. He was
Overwhelmingly defeated, and then
the country gentlemen supposed that
they would get ia their delegates to
the national convention. But here is
where Arthur Browns fine work came
in. After the Salt Lake people had lost
their proxies the Brown people set up
combinations TO carry through their
slate. And they succeeded.

60 ThroWn Down.

There were so many combinations set
up. so many schemes attempted and
60 many that succeeded or failed that
1t was difficult to follow them. Ezra
Thompson has always bcen considered
a staunCh Lannan man, and it was
known that he was nominated for
mayor by that outfit. and it was for
this reason that the Brown people
dropped him. They concluded late
Wednesday night that they could han
die the convention without his aid.
Though all the city employees were
Logging for him, the shrewd ex-senator
made another deal. Up to Wednes-
day night Governor Wells did not
know where he was at" He was
anxious FOR the Endorsement of the
convention by election TO the national
convention. and for a time 1t Seemed
that he would not have the indorse-
ment, SO late did he come into the
fight. But at II o'clock Wednesday
night his manager affected ar arrange
ment with the Brown forces that Wells
should be substituted for Thompson.

Two bodies were exhumed today. the
purpose being to see if Thomas Pad

by friends. Mrs. Padfield being spared
the pain, but they pronounced him

TrainlOads of provisions continue to
roll into the town, and the general dis
tributiOn goes on without pause. The
committee has found it necessary to

CANDIDATES for office who wish for
Union Republican votes would do we'll
to conclude early that these candidates
must be nominated at primary elections
regularly called and held under the rules
OF that party. Fixing committees are
out OF date in this State. The obligations
entered into, with the National Repuh-
lican Committee and Convention for se-
curing party unity and fair play allaround
calls for common primaries. Primaries
at which all Republican voters could
vote, and conventions representing all
the Republicans Of the State. County
officers must be nominated by direct vote
OF the people, and State officers by dele
gates elected by the people and assem-
bled in convention. Any other way Of
nominating candidates would be both
unfair and irregular.
