The committee had considerable trouble
I'm getting out the brief resolutions. Some
of the members wanted q plank specifi-
cally referring to the case of Senator
smoot, and endorsing him, but this was
objected to by others.
Before a vote was taken on the dele
gates the names of whom had been an
nounced by the chafrmen of their respec-
tive precincts, Thomas Dallin of SPRING
VILE spoke against the resolution endors-
ing Loose and declined to serve as a dele
gate under this resolution. To do so, said
Mr.. Dallin. was to stuitify himself and he
believed that Mckinley and Roosevelt,
pointing TO their pictures, would be proud
of him for his manhood in refusing to be
bound by that resolution. He said he had
seen a strong editorial published which
said in effect that none but Latterday
Saints need apply. At this point con-
siderable connection ensued and calls OF
sit down" were heard from various parts
of the hall Mr.. Dallin smilingly replied:
well, / WILL" but proceeded to warn the
convention that the Republican party
would greatly regret in the future the
action by adopting the resolution.
Frank Candiand was then named from
Springville to fill the place OF Mr. Daliin
and the delegates and alternates We're
elected.
