During the proceedings Judge Powers
WAS brought i'm by County Chairman
Dec. No sooner did the form of the con-

tho convention was in an uDr0ar OF en-
thusiasm. and I. was some time before
tile chairman could be heard in order to
introduce the next congressman From
the very first sentence when Judge
Powers paid high compliment TO Chair
man q. G. Richards, saying he knew he
was in a genuine Democratic convention
because. of the distinguished Democrat
being the presiding officer, to the very
close Of a stirring address, the speaker
commanded the closest attention and was
frequently cheered.
The platform adopted by the conven-
ton follows:
The Platform.
I'VE. the Democrats of Weber county.
IN convention assembled, do hereby de-
clare our allegiance to the platforms Of
our party adopted by the national con-
vention at ST. Louis and the state con-
vcntiOn at Salt Lake City.
we express our admiration for our ma
tional acknowledgements, Judge Alton =.
Parker and Senator Henry G.. Davis. and
congratulate the people of the state Of
Utah that they have the opportunity to
assist in eecting to the highest offices in
the gift Of the people two such capable
law-lOving citizens.
we pledge our hearty support Of the
candidates named by our state conven-
tion. We invite the cordial assistance to-
wards securing their election Of every
person in Weber county who believes in
constitutional government in the United
a Va desires
state.
"If, as has been charged i'm some quar-
ters there shall be an attempt a the
next session Of the legislature to repeal
that humane statute SOftening somewhat
the rigOr of the common law rule respect
ing fcllow-SerVantS, we hereby pledge the
candidates named b. this convention to
oppose such repeal unless il shall be by
cHa citing "A law still further extending the
scope Of this beneficent enactment.
And to this end that the people may
have in their own hands the power TO
defeat unjust and vicious legislation,
both in the state and in municipalities.
and also that they may secure the enact
ment into law their Will when unjustly
ignored we DO further pledge the legis-
lative candidates named by this convcn
ton to labor TO secure the passage of n
law giving effect to the constitutional
amendment adopted by the people of this
state four years agO-which amendment
two consecutive Republican legislatures
have permitted TO lie dormant, and have,
in TACT at both sessions Of the leg'S-
1ature. since held buried in committee
bills introduced for the purpose above
named.
we invite the serious consideration Of
the people of this county 70 the fact that
so far the state Of Utah has received no
benefit from the law introduced in con-
gress by Democrat and passed by Dem
ocratic votes. against the opposition Of
the great majority of the Republican
members though fortunately signed by
a Republican president. whereby the west
shall receive federal aid i'm the develop
ment OF its arid lands. while in al the
adjacent states large enterprises are al
ready under way--a condition resulting.
without doubt. from the contentious
strife and discord existing between the
two Republican senators OF this state,
who. agreeing in nothing. neglect the
welfare of the whole people
we pledge the Democratic party OF
Weber county TO an economical admins
tration OF the affairs Of the county. ever
holding that a public office is . public
The county committee and candidates
Will meet this afternoon for organization.
