himself heard again above the tumult,
he said:
If L am elected I purpose 10 be
Democratic mayor and to stand square
" on the platform of this convention. I
don't want to be misunderstood on this
point. If the ordinances OF the city say
close the saloons on Sunday, 1 viii
favor the closing of the saloons on
Sunday I am no fanatic on this sub
Ject, and here is reason in all things,
but L do favor the carrying out of the

remedy is to repeal them. 1 am rot
a saloon man, 1 don't drink and I
don't want the saloons open on Sunday.

ed here and if 1 am elected shall see
that its provisions are carried into eff

. Every sentence of Mr.. Learys brief
and pointed speech was cheered to the
echo, and he made a decidedly favor
able impression in this, his maiden
political effort. At the close of the
speech the convention took a recess till
$50 and Mr.. Leary was congratulated
and cheered as long as he was in sight

SKETCHES OF CANDIDATES.
James c. Learu.

From newsboy selling papers on
the streets of New York to the NOM
inee of great political party for the
/ highest office in the gift of a big city
I IS far cry, but it is the record made
by James c. Leary who was Yesterday
selected TO lead the Democrats to vic
tory at the polls next month. Mr..
Leary is thoroughly a self-made man.
and everybody who knows him Will
admit that he has done the work well.
Almost from the time ne could toddle
ne has been hustling for himself He
has sold papers, he has ridden the
ronge, he has risen gradually, but
, steadily. through his own merit and
perseverance, until today he occupies
a most enviabie position in the BUSINESS
world
Mr.. Leary was born March Is, 1860.
in Hatfield. Hampshire county. Mass.
At the age of Is he ran away from
home and went directly to New York
CITY, where he sold papers about City
Hall square for several months and left
in the spring of 20 for Liberty, Mo.
He attended the public schools there
Tor three years, and upon the death of
the man with whom he found a home
he went to New Mexico. He began
work on a cattle ranch as cook, the
tenderfOOt'S usual assignment. With
in two years he had been advanced to
foremanship Nof the big cattle ranch
owned by United States Senator S. w
Dorsey and within the next five years
he had become manager and part own
er of two cattle companies, which he
had organized Mr.. Leary sold out of
the cattle business and moved to Den
yer in 1886, where he was identified
with irrigation and mining enterprises.
and during which time he also acted
as general western agent of the Kan
sas City Stock Yards company and
general livestock agent of the Union
Pacific
He came to Utah nearly eight years
ago as lessee of the Union stock yards
in the conduct of which business he
continues, in association with A. H
Warren
Mr.. Leary was a student at William
Jewel college at Liberty, Mo, to which
place he returned after a three and a
half years stay in New Mexico, with
the intention of graduating. He had
become too immersed in business to
carry out this design, however, and
soon returned to the range.
Mr. Leary was married in 1884 to the
granddaughter of John Baxter, the
gentleman with whom he found his
home in Missouri. Miss Anna Hale.
He has two children, d girl of is and a
boy of 9. He is from the Forty-third
district, in which he has lived since
he came to Salt Lake.

Frank b stenhens

Frank B. Stephens, who was nominat-
ed by reclamation to succeed himself
TO the Office he now holds, that of city
attorney, has made so brilliant d record
during the past two years that no 9TH
er name was thought of for the place.
He is a native of Maine and was born
in 1856. At an early age he moved
with his parents to Illinois, in which
state he was educated, first in the pre-
paratory schools and in the Union col
lege of Chicago, where he studied law,
being in the same class with w j.
Bryan. A waxm friendship still exists
between the two. In Nebraska Mr..
stephens was first admitted TO the ear.
He was a member of the legal firm
of Dolls. Foss & Stephens, the senior
partner being governor of the state. In
1888 Mr.. Stephens came to Salt Lake
and ne has since made his residence in
this city. He was United States as
sistant attorney under g 5. Varian and
is recognized as one of the distinguished
members of the bar in this sLs &C.

OF TONS OF ROCK
L0OSENED BY I00-KEG BLAST

Thirty odd guests and curious NOR
tails crOuched low in sheltered hooks
in Red Butte canyon yesterday after
noon and witnessed an explosion OF
powder that shivered the mountain side
and brought ton after ton of red sand
stone from its station of uncounted
centuries. As a blasting operation it
created a profound impression upon
those who witnessed the explosion. AS
yet no complete estimate has been
made of the amount of stone that was
torn loose. The original expectation
was to take out 10000 cubic feet at one
blast.
r. B. Miller of S43 East Sixth South
street, who is operating the quarry. has
been planning for some time TO make
the occasion memorable one. Mrs.
