ity of the committee. Thelatter-to seat

licans, 2 populists and silver-repub-
licans for it. The majority resolution
TO exclude Mr.. Roberts and declare the

served in the Utah battery that went
to the Philippines, had a good record as
soldier and was popular among the
democrats of his state. Mr.. Roberts
could not say how soon the nomination
would be made. 1t may be that the
democrats of Utah. to be consistent
with the position taken by Mr.. Roberts,
will not consider the seat vacant, and
they may postpone action upon the
choice of his successor until the SUI
