Weber County Republicans Give
Him Endorsement.
CONVENTION IS HELD
HARD FIGHT MADE OVER THE
DISTRICT ATToRNEYSHIP.
tsaecial to The HeraId.)


things the affair was tame in the ex-
IRENE but there was a latent feeling
ready to burst forth at any time. Con
siderable caution was exercised and the
warriDg factions did not come to open
rupture. q
The main contention was over the
nomination of delegates to the district
judicial convention. Everything else
was secondary to this because of the
contest between A. 3. Hayes and e.
NJ. Allison for the district attorney
nomination.
An Endorsement of Glasmann's candi-
dacy for congress was put through in
connection with the adoption of the
report on the order Of business.
The district attorney nomination
contest dominated the whole proceed
ings. For days this has been the bat
tie royal. Hayes seemed to have won
the greater number of delegates when
the PRIMARIES closed, but each side had
worked necessarily ever since. The
claims of Hayes forces anent the result
is that they carried the Second, Third
and Fourth wards entire with a good
share of the Third and a number of
the Fifth breaking more than even on
the outside districts. These claims
were hardly disputed so far as the city
was concerned, but the Allison men
claim the greater strength in the cOUn-
~, and say they VIII win with the
aid of Davis and Morgan counties.
For District Judge.
Bagleys supporters claim three
quarters of the delegation viii be for
him for district judge while the Hey
wood men make even more extravaganza
claims.
Talk of plan to force an indorse-
ment of Hayes caused not a little ex-
element, but his supporters changed
their tactics.
Chairman Hanson named A. w.
Agee temporary chairman at little
after 2 O'Clock and J. +. Snedaker tenn
pCrary secretary with George Dean as
sistant. Mr.. Agee made a lengthy talk,
coming out emphatically for the gold
standard and explaining how Bryan
was able to deceive nearly half the
voters in 1896.
Mr.. Agee started in to explaining
freely the consistency of the Repub-
iican party in its attitude on leading
questions and it was twenty minutes
after 3 o'clock when he got through.
On motion of Mr.. Hanson roll was
called for the naming Of committees on
permanent organization and order of
business, credentials and aDDOrtion-
ment. One member from each city
ward and one from each county district
was named.
J. A. Wright made the report for the
committee on credentials. There were
no contests. The committee recon-
mended that where a precinct was not
fully represented those present should
cast the full vote. A tie in the Fifth
ward had been decided by lot in favor
of Peter Dunkers. Mr.. Joseph Belnap
opposed this method, but the report
was adopted.
An awkward tangle came up over the
adoption of the report of the committee
on permanent organization and order
of business.
The committee recommended that the
temporary organization be made per-
ulanent, and that the selection of del
egates to the state convention be fol-
lowed by the selection of delegates to
the judicial convention.
Endorsement of Glasmann.
The next order was to be the consid-
Grafton of the question of endorsing
Mr.. Glasmann for congress. \ motion
was made 10 adopt the report and Mr..
Agee blushngly mOtioned Mr.. Wade, the
chairman of the reporting committee,
to put the motion. Mr.. Wade started
to do so. Dut at this juncture w. r.
White arose to present a substitute
for the Glasmann resolution. The sub
stitute was a eulogy of Glasmann and
presented his name as the cOunty's can
didate for congress.
Mr. Wade raised the point of order
that there was a motion to adopt the
report. There was objection made TO
considering eesubstitute at this par
r.cular time, but finally Mr.. Wade Sc
cured consent to the adoption of so
much of the report as was necessary
to organize the convention. This was
DONE and Mr.. Agee again took the
gaveI Mr.. Whites substitute to the
report carried, and the report was
adopted as a whole 1t was followed
by wild applause, but there was no
call for speeches, and the convention
proceeded TO business.
The report of the apportionment COM
mittee. assigning the number of dele
gates for each ward and for each group
of precincts, was adopted as read.
The resolution of Mr.. White eulogized
Mr. Glasmann at considerable length,
and presented his name as candidate
for congress. The recital of his quail
ifcations included fearlessness, high
moral worth, freedom from association
with cliques, factions and favOrites, and
that he has labored for the uDbuild-
ing of the party as a whole by endeav-
oring to keep it free from boss rule or
trickery in polictics." His support of
Mckinley on the Imperialism Issue was
also urged as another reason.
