To Glen Miller of Salt Lake fell the
I honor Of nominating Sutherland. Mr..
Miller began with a glowing eulogy of
Z Roosevelt and Il looked for a while IS
! il he We're nominating the president,
but at length he got down TO his can
didate. After extolling Roosevelts pri-
vate and political life, Mr.. Miller said:
Miller Names Sutherland.
Now. fellow Republicans. what is our
duty2 Il is to send men as delegates

lies in the natiOn-cleanliness- If we

graft or corruption OF any sort, though
he might cast his vote for Roosevelt. II

that doctrine. prOpounded in certain quar-
ters that IN the interests of harmony. TX
I Is our duty 70 send to Chicago as our rep
/ resentatives men who are political eu-
nuChs. We want delegates Of force and
Nirility. If there exist here those who
through long years have not formed an
opinion regarding public men and public
measures. they are not fit to represent
Us at a national convention.
Es.N
est. upright capable Republicans. But
there is one name IN Utah. SIR. Chairman,
that particularly stands for cleanliness.
There is one amongst US whose life mas
been an open book to every citizen of
Utah. In public life and private life he
typifies all that is honorable. He hates
the thief as Roosevelt hates him He
despises the corruption Of voters through
the use Of money as does our upright
president. lie Is hated by the CRATER be-
cause he will not tolerate him. He neither
associates with nor clOaks the crooks of
politics. He can neither be bought nor
bullied into an alliance with wrong-do-
. ers.
You all know him. He is the Roose-
welt kind OF citizen. He has served you
In high places. and has never been found
wanting He IL a forceful speaker a
deep thinker. a man who stands at the
head OF his profession. a man who is able
at the bar in the legislative hall or on
the floor Of national convention to pre-
sent successfully any measure he repre-
sents. lie was born in Utah bred I'm
Utah. and has ever been loyal to Utah
and her people. The love he feels for his
native state is reciprocated for him If.
IN future days. anyone should ask who
stood deepest in the affection of the Titan
the vote of this convention and you will
read the name of him whom I have the
privilege to nominate, the Hon. George
Sutherland.

Then Jesse Smith arose to spring his
harmony" proposition, and everybody
looked for something startling. but
Uncle Jesse briefly and mildly urged
harmony and nominated Kearns.

body wondered if he could nominate
three at once and the chairman said
boastful. but il believes il may wit
that was Uncle Jesse's privilege If he
so desired.
John c. Graham Of Provo arose after
Uncle Jesse sat down and proceeded TO
withdraw Shoots name, saying he
had authority TO do this The chair
ruled otherwise and held that Shoots
name was still /efore the convention.
This move of Graham's was interpreted
by some to be a scheme to let Kearns
go to the slaughter house alone, but it
failed e. A. Lamoreaux improved the
occasion to nominate Z. L. Clark Of
Cache.
Allen Wants to Know.
c. e. Allen Of Salt Lake went into
commission at this point. He men
toned that all three members Of the
