Three times it has been my pleasure
and honor to place him in nomination
for public office, and l regret that II
was not my privilege today TO say
word in his behalf. In every OFFICE that
he has held he has been upright, falsh-
full and honest -,

If Won do you will lose one of the best, II
not the best mayor Salt Lake ever had
You cannot wipe out the tact thaI ne
has given to the citizens business adj
ministration. His record is written in
public improvements. If the people de-
sire a business administration ] ask them
to endorse this ticket. You have gained
street pavements and sidewalk, and that
which you have prayed for is about TO
be granted-the bringing to Salt Lake
City of the waters OF Big Cottonwood
And the people do desire business
administration not the berating of one
another the lifting of hands one against
the other. They desire an administra-
ton whose business is not the corratling
of 'hierarchs' or the discussion of theO-
logical problems.
THE advancement of a greater city
in the interest of all people signifies the
beginning of the end of strife that should
not exist in Salt Lake Cit;-.
Gives Lie to Opponents.
Il am glad that l may stand here and
give the lie to the assertion that If de-
feated for public office / would join
another party. as charged in the last
election Public office has little attrac-
ton for me but the interests of my
friends and the people of this city are
very dear TO me and I believe that they
can best be served by supporting the
Democratic party"
