LOGAN. Utah, Oct. 1-The Demo-
cratic county convention convened at
the courthouse here at 1890 a. m. to-
day, l2l delegates being present. Hon.
George A. Barber, county chairman,
called the convention TO order, and Sec.
retary George O. Hayball read the call
Chairman Barber named Hon. Aauilla
Nebeker as temporary chairman. In
assuming the chair. Mr.. Nebekcr said
he was not ashamed of being a Demo.
crat, because in his Judgment the
State S salvation is in the hands of the
party of the unterrifed
Mr.: Nebeker asserted that his party's
principles are undying and Of such i'm.
portance to popular government as to
have been taken up by President
Roosevelt as the only means of the Ma
ton s salvation. The great funda-
mental principles Of Democracy, how
ever, are not the issue in the present
contention.
Chairman Nebeker said thero are two
issues before the people of Utah, each
of peculiar interest and one of funda-
! mental Importance. The first Of these,
he said IS the purpose of the Republi
can machine and the present admins
tration to consolidate the Agricultural
college with the State University ut
be resisted with resolution and enthusi-
asm, the people of the State being
made to see the sinister purpose IN
spring the machine for the destruction
of the college.
Roasts for Smoot Machine.
The other issue named by Mr.. Nebe-
ker is the effort on the part of the
Smoot machine to create a union of
church and state, This issue, bo said,
is not Of recent date, the Democracy
having resisted it for more than ten
years, and this being the only party
with sufficient courage and resolution
| to stand for political freedom IN Utah.
| The Republican party, on the 0tner
| hand, while claiming want of sympathy
| for the effort 10 unite the church and
state, has shown itself o be insincere
| in its position. This was evidenced IN
! the recent State convention, when one
of the brave sons (Mr. Harrington OF
the Republican party INTRODUCED o rcso-
luton pledging his party agalnst shnrrh
| and state amalgamatlng, being 'SnumIn
iously turned down and his Gfort
trampled upon by the machine.
The last Republican convention un-
eauiyocally declared for unl)u of
church and state. 1t did not have he
courage to oppose the movement or the
machine when this Issue was bTGtSnt
up The Republicans are Dlan-worsEip-
| ers. They do not let from prnc1ple,
! but bow 10 the behests OF man. They
decide what action VIII affect tDo sue
cess or personal ambition, ana this be-
comes paramount This is true from
| the head TO the foot of the party.
/ Received With Applause. g.,
Mr.. Nebcker s address was received
with tumutuous applause. When the
committees reported NJ. j. Ballard was
| oh
Samuel McKlnnan as secretary.
| In q few opening words Chairman
Ballard called attention TO the dls-
turbcd and distressing conditions exist
ing III the State at the present tlme,
declaring the Democratic party has had
no hand in. and is In no way responsible
for the disturbed and sad condltloh eA'
isting in this State today a.,
NEfhese conditions" he said, are
due directly 10 the opposition party ana and
in my Judgment can only be, remedled
by the Democratic success.
Platform is Strong.
Hon. Frank K Nebeker read the
nIatform and resolutions, two OF whlch
..W. view with disfavor the reckless
and arrogant course Of the kePuplica51 !
machine in the State, whose bhnd anu
unreasonable conduct has aroused ulS'
cord and bitter strife amoug the people
at home and opposition and enml. y
abroad We believe that the life, 10
erfv and property Of tho citizens are
secure only in the hands OF the lncoI
