the Ogden convention. Said George NJ.
Cannon today: I'VE care not who the
man II so he ~ quick and ready In his
rulings. II such man II secured II
don't matter so much wheather he Is
strictly a parllamentarlan or not; II
not that difficulty can be seally RENEE

have his wits about him and be able to
grasp the situation at glance. Such
man viii be worth a good deal to
the convention"

are mentioned are ex-senator Arthur
Brown. Col. A, y. Hayes OF Ogden
Congressman Sutherland, Attorney w.
d. Livingston OF Manti, ex-Crongress-
man c. Il. Allen, and several others
prominent throughout the state. On

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.
He Reaches Asheviile, N. c., and
Speaks Fclicitonsly.

Asheville, N. c., Sept. baskerville
extended warm greeting to President
Roosevelt today. Fully 10000 people oc-
cupied the court house square, where
the president addressed them from a
stand. The special train arrived at $3.50
O'clock. The night was passed vat Hot
Springs and the run from there this
morning was uneventful. A short stop
was made at Marshall. the home of
Senator Pritchard. where large num-
Der OF people had assembled. The pres
ident thanked them for their greeting.
At Asheville he was met by recep-
ton committee. of which Charles Me-
Nance was chairman.
Mayor Miller Senator Pritchard and
Congressman Moody were among those
who greeted the president, the mem
bers Of the committee being introduced
to the president In his car by Senator
Pritchard.
Carriages We're in waiting and under
the escort Of Zeb Vance company of
confederate veterans with the battle
flags and two companies OF state militia
and the first regiment band, the party
started for court house square.
At Battery park the school children
were assembled on the lawn and sang
America as the party passed.
President Roosevelt stood in his car
riage bareheaded The city was elab-
orately decorated and hundreds of peo-
pie had come In from the country 10
greet the president. Again the presi-
dent was introduced by Chairman Nc
Nance and he was greeted with cheers.
III, cpEAtru
The president spoke OF the pleasure
II gave him to speak before the monu-
ment Of the late Senator Vance, which
Is near the stand. He was glad, he
said, TO meet the people whose fore
fathers had fought under Marioni glad
to be greeted by men who served In
the confederate army. He told OF his
visit Sunday 10 the battlefield Of
Chlckamauga and repeated the declara-
ton that the man would be but poor
American who did not come from the
scenes concentrating the valorous
deeds OF those armies better Amcri-
can. He told OF serving under Wheeler
In Cuba and said that yesterday he met
an old man who served In the confed-
crate army.
II was one Of Wbeeler's boys" said
the veteran.
80 was l." replied the president.
II think II is a good thing" he said,
FOR an American president TO have
the chance to travel through different
sections OF the country, because II Is
mighty good thing for any American
TO meet his fellow Americans in order
that he may realize how trivial are the
Joints Of unlikeness and how essential
are the points Of likeness. A good
American Is good American whether
he came from the north. the south, the
east or the west"
Continuing. the president said:
eve need good laws and We need an
honest administration Of the law. but
we need as the fundamental prerequi.
site for good government, high aver
age standard Of citizenship In the men
who make the laws and stand back
OF them. II man Is not honest. is
not decent then the ADLER he Ia the
more dangerous he is to the COM
minity."

ADJUSTMENTS

The testimonial to Miss Berkhoel
which took place at the theater last
night was unfortunately one Of those
testimonials which testify very little,
unless II be that the committee should
have learned from the past experience
OF other committees that there is no
way to make a benefit success unless
the tickets are sold by subscription In
advance, II Is pity that this was not
done. The audience, while very light,
was quite appreciative. and the pro-
gram Was one well worthy OF praise. II
included big section OF the city's
brightest talent with Miss Berkhoel
herself. Miss Ferrin, Mr.. SHELTON, the
vlollnist. and Miss Sharp, and a male
quartet, as the special features. Ev-
erythlng was v0ciferously applauded,
Miss Berkhoel, Miss Ferrin, Mr.. Skel-
ton, and Miss Sharp being the stars.
Miss Berkhoel goes at once to Chicago
to continue In her studies.
The "Corianton" company played in
Lincoln, Neb., last night, but at the office
Of the Deseret Dramatic syndicate no
word had been received up to noon as
to the reception the company met with.
Council Bluffs, and Des Moines are to
be visited before Omaha, where full
week will be put In, commencing Mon
day evening next.
No one will be surprised to read the
Associated Press dispatch In this even
lng's news, announcing that Maude
Adams has had to defer the opening Of
her season on account OF nj health. OF
q naturally slight physique, the work she
has been doing for the past few years
has been such that It must have told
enormously on her strength. II Is 10
be hoped that her manager aill insist
on keeping her off the boards until she
has fully recovered.
