PROCEEDINGS OF

II was long after IL o'clock, the an
pointed hour, before the convention was
called TO order. Delegates began to
gather before 10 o'clock, however, and the
Intervening time was spent i'm renewing
old acquaintances and making new ones
One old acquaintance was not renewed,
and the fact that it wasn't furnished one
of the entertaining features of the con-
Vention.
Bill Glasmann of Ogden, the notori-
Gus one, was shaking hands with every
body, and in his perambulations ap-
preached ex-senator Arthur Brown with
extended mitt.
How are you, senator?" he exclaimed
effusively.
ond and exclaimed 'Ughi" as he resumed
his conversation with the man next to
him. Incredible as IL may seem, Glas-
mann blushed over the rebuff,
Shortly before the convention was called
to order, Senator Stephen II. Love of
Salt Lake walked to the front of the
stage, carrying picture of President
Roosevelt. which. he placed in front of

HOWELL FOR CONGRESS;
FRICK, SUPREME JUDGE
Continued from page I


II didn't know" she declared. that
my old friend, Mr. Harrington, had apos-
tatised''
Mrs Gates was very much against the
resolution. She laughed to scorn the sug-
gestion Of a church boss in Utah, and
concluded by declaring: IF [ am to have
a boss, IT won't be Thomas Kearns or
Orlando w. Powers"
Angus NJ. Cannon also attacked the
resolution. He had been here from the
beginning of things, he said, and he was
sure there never was such thing as in
concluding, he asserted that no one had
ever tried to dictate to him how he
should vote. when l receive such die
tation and my vote is controlled, ] will
be ready to apostatise and introduce such
resolution as this he aVerred.
w. ID. Livingston of Sanpete made an
earnest and eloquent speech in favor Of
the resolution. He declared that the Re
publican party was face 10 face with Il
crisis and he contended there would be
no peace until the question was settled
He said that no settlement of the prob
lem was possible except by the Mormon
people. and he appealed to them to set
tie it.
Mr.. Harrington made the final appeal
in support of his resolution, after Mrs
l.. G.. Boynton of Cache county had ar
gued against 1t. Mr.. Harrington de-
clared his belief that the convention
should adopt the resolution and thus
pledge the Republican party.
THE Democrats Will follow us, he as
serted Goodness knows they have moth
ing else for an issue"
His appeal fell on unheeding ears, how
ever, and but dozen to fourteen men
stood up to be counted in support of the
resolution
Alma Eldredge then offered a resolution
amending the platform i'm such a manner
as to permit the next legislature to create
a railroad commission empowered to fix
rates and fares in Utah On a viva voce
vote Mr.. Eldredge's amendment was voted
down. The only speech in opposition was
made by Harry Joseph. who declared that
the Republican party had trouble enough
without taking up the railroad question.
Mr.. Eldredge had intended to speak in
support of the resolution, but before he
discovered that il was being acted upon
il had been defeated

Declares Rooster Immortal.

Colonel Squires warned the party, how
ever, that 1t must be vigilant and shake
off its apathy.
1.-THE Democratic rooster is immortal -
he declared
The colonel then waxed eloquent on the
subject of pensions. He pointed out that
the recent congress passed a law pen
sioning every veteran of the civil war
after he reaches the age of 81 years re-
CARELESS OF whether he is physically dis
abled or not.
I'm six days more" Moderated the
colonel, 7 will begin to draw Sc a month.
This is the result of patriotic Republi-
can legislation"
The audience applauded the fact that
the colonel was about to come into for
tune, and then the colonel wound up his
speech.
you've got the fight of your lives right
here in Utah this fall he said. There
are faces which | have been wont to see
in gatherings of this kind which are alb
sent today. They are not with us in
this campaign"
Colonel Squires closed by asserting that
the people of Utah should uphold the
hands Of President Roosevelt and elect
the Republican ticket. He referred feel
ingly 10 the fact that State Chairman J.
L. Hammond had been forced to resign
on account of sickness, and the only
really hearty ovation of the forenoon ses-
sion was given by the convention at the
mention of Mr., Hammonds name. Colonel
Squires made no reference TO the Utah
congressional delegation, or to political
conditions in Utah

skirmish for the presidential campaign
of 1908.
"The lines are being drawn" said
Colonel Squires, and the leaders are be-
ing tested. We have an alert, active and
vigilant foe
A bunch of unregenerated and irrever-
ent Democrats i'm the gallery applauded
this statement, but that didn't feaze
Colonel Squires.
81 see in The Herald this morning" he
continued, that a New York leader de
clares that the Democratic party will
never die, but will live forever and never
surrender"
There was more applause from the
aforesaid bunch of Democrats, and
Colonel Squires declared that the Demo-
cratic party would surrender this fall and
publican force. Then, warming to his
work, Colonel SquireS started with the
history of the Republican party. He rang
the changes on Abraham Lincoln, and
Whooped il up for a protective tariff. The
colonel declared that he was opposed to
any revision or amendment of the Ding
ley law. and declared that every time the
Republican party had increased the tariff
on foreign articles prosperity had in
creased correspondence
Disaster and ruin, he said, had followed
Grover Clevelands election in 1892 and
then he paid an eloquent tribute TO Pres
ident Mckinley. He intimated that the
Democratic party had hired Czogoscz to
assassinate Mckinley, and then declared
that McKinley's death was an act of
Providence which resulted in the eIeva-
ton of Theodore Roosevelt. Colonel
Squires paid an extravagant tribute to
Roosevelt. and ascribed to him every hu-
man virtue. He commended his dictation
to congress in matters of legislation.
lauded him as a soldier, and declared that
while he was doing things the Democratic
party could only produce a man (refer-
ring to Bryan, but mot mentioning his
name for fear of the Democrats in the
gallery who said things.

Routine Business Transacted.

Rudolph Kuchler of Ogden. temporary
secretary of the state committee, read
the call for the convention. Daniel Har-
rington moved that each county name one
member of the customary convention
committees. Harry S. Joseph of Salt Lake
amended the motion with a suggestion
that each county announce its member
or the state committee at the same time.
Alma Eldredge, from the stage, opposed
Mr.. Joseph's amendment. saying that it
was premature, and that the counties had
committeeman. Mr. Joseph made short
speech, and said that the selection of
state committeeman should not be delayed
until the closing hours of the convention
and then made in rush without due de
liberation as to the merits of the men
selected.
w d. Livingston of Manti stopped
what threatened TO be debate by making
q point of order that state committee
men could not be selected before the con-
vention was permanently organized.
Chairman Squires held that the point of
order was well taken. Before the chair
man could put Mr.. Harrington's motion
providing for the appointment of the
usual committees, Salt Lake delegate
called attention to the fact that the chap
lain had not yet prayed for the conven-
ton, and Chaplain Parkinson was called
for. After he delivered the invocation the
committees were announced.
