ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I Republican party as a general rule
settles In che manner and where Il
should upon the floor OF this conven-
ton, all its own differences. And when

hearts Of the enemy.
| In 1899, this man was your choice
and mine to lead the party at that
special election in the congressional
| fight His individuality his PERSONAL
1 ity, went a long way In turning into
success that defeat which, although
defeat, was nevertheless successful In
wlping out heretofore existing DEM
ocratc majority. His efforts IN that
| campaign went long way toward
| bringing about the NJ era charcter-
| izing the wlping ont of that same old
Democratic majority which put the
| Republican party in full power I'm this
state, and relegated to the rear the
| great unwashed'

Ladies and Gentlemen Of the Con-
/ Vention--Nine years have spent their
course and passed into the great ocean
of human history since the first Repub-
| lioan convention was held IN the state
Of Utah. Looking back through this
time the delegates of this convention
might well congratulate the delegates
OF that convention for the wise decision
they made, and say to the nominees OF
| that convention, who later on becama
the state officers, Well DONE good and
cal ~ thui
convention were ratified by the people
IN the succeeding election, and we have
met again 10 perform the same duty
aud the nominations that we make to-
day viii be ratified by the people of
Utah In the November election, II this
be n feet, then n great duty deyolves
upon this body of men and women TO
make wise selections II we know posi-
lively that the nominations here made
will be ratified by the people then,
say. a grave duty devolves upon this
convention.
"There are two questions compre-
hended In the requisites OF any sue
cessful candidate that he can name.
First IL he strong IN his pull upon the
citizens, voters2 Second, is he honest
and capable? A negative answer to
the last question IL the rock upon
which any mans political aspirations
should be wrecked.
THE Republican party and the prin-
ciples for which 1t has contended are
greater than the aspirations of any
man. greater than the ambitions Of any
faction.
THE gentleman whose name / have
the honor Of presenting to this conyen-
ton today is "A man who, IL Is said, Ii
not widely known I'm the state OF Utah,
Gentlemen, the gravest charge that |
have heard against my candidate IN
that he Is not widely known, and that
he is candidate OF somebody. il
would be an unwise thing for any man
TO come into this convention and not
be candidate OF someone, That he
Is widely known ask the business men;
go TO the merchants and to the pro-
fessonal men OF this state. Go to the
working classes, the manufacturing
and industrial workers In our state,
and they will tell you he Is known far
and wide among the great Industrial
class Of the state. And while you and
l have been playing at politics he has
been building sugar factories and other
industries to furnish work for the bone
and sinew Of the state
For this gentemanly courtesy end
kindly dcmeanor toward all he is well
and fayorably known among that class
to whom we must look for suocess--the
laboring element, And let me say right
here, Mr.. Chairman, that to the labor
Ing element IN the future the Repub-
| lican party must go for most OF It's sup
port That element is becoming so
strongly organized with it's unions that
any party that expects success must
look to the labor element In the past

orr and the guardian Of the labor elei
ment OF the United States, but. II you
will permit me TO digress, Mr. Chair
man. / would say that II the labor ele-
ment were called together IN one as
sembly to weave from the flowers that
are placed In the garland upon the head
OF labor, with willing hearts they would
weave their most precious laurel and
carry II TO the tomb of that matchless
leader, that keeper OF the destiny OF
our Union for eight years Marcus A.
