The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1906-10-09

We, the Republicans of Salt Lake
county, in convention assembled, de-
clare and affirm as follows:
: We re-affirm our approval Of the Re-
publican state platform, formulated
and adopted by our state convention In
Salt Lake City, Utah, on Sept. 20, 1906,
We endorse the successful Republic
can administration of our county af-
fairs and believe that every voter and
taxpayer within the borders Of our fair
aid prosperous county is interested in
an honest, efficient, economical and
business-like administration of our
county revenues and maintain that the
paramount issue for the citizens of
this county 10 consider is the collec-
tion and expenditure of their public
moneys.
The question of taxation is always a
vital enc and can be made a light or
heavy burden, according to the amount
of public moneys collected and the wis
dom which is exercised in their eX-
penditure, and we submit for most Sc
rious and thoughtful consideration Of
every property holder within our coun-
try, the following facts.
In the last seven years in Salt Lake
City three political parties have been
in power, viz: The Republican party,
for four years; the Democratic party
for two years and the american"
party for practically one year. We
call to the attention of taxpayers that
during the four years of Republican
control the city tax levy averaged but
81 mills: that for the two years of
Democratic control it averaged 1919
mills and that in the one year of
American control it is II mills; that
the average assessed property valua-
tion during the four years of Repub-
lican control was approximately $780,
600 900: that the averaged assessed
property valuation during Democratic
control was $39 600. 600, and that this
year. the year of American" control,
the assessed property property valua-
tiOn is S41, 900 900. In other words the
attention of the taxpayer is called to
the startling and important fact that
under Democratic control with an in
creased property valuation of approx
lnately s., 600 the tax rate was in
creased two mills, that under 'Amer-
scan" party control with the increased
property valuation over the assessed
value of property during Republican
control OF 81 COO, 600 the tax levy. was in
creased 80 mills.
We also call attention TO the fact
that the claim of the Democratic party
and the American party that the
reason for the increased tax levy and
expenses during their control, towit
the public Improvement cGrried on by
them. IS not true. The facts are, and
the records show it. that during the
years of Republican control more
street paving and sewering was done
than under either the Democratic OF
American" administration. 1t was
during Republican control that the
streets of South Temple and Second
South were paved to the two railroad
depots and thus far not single block
of paving within the city of Salt Lake
has been completed by the "Ameri'
can city administration.
We call attention of the taxpayer:
10 the fact that the permanent fiXeC
employees of the city of Salt Lake dur

At the request of Harry S. Joseph,
the chairman announced that a caucus

later Joseph c. Sharp wanted to know
at whose request thu caucus was

The afternoon session of the conyen-
ton was called to order at 2:30 o'clock
by Temporary Chairman Kaighn. The
refrain was to the effect that the Re-
publicanS would vote the straight
ticket and assure themselves Of election
to office.
This tickled the fancy of the few dele
gates present and the quartet was re-
called for another number.
The committee on credentials pre-
scented its report, in which the methods
of voting proxies were determined.
The committee on permanent organi-
cation reported making the temporary
organization permanent, with Horace
III. Smith and Nephi Timpson added as
assistant secretaries, and r. S. IRE as
assistant sergeant at arms.
j. j. Greenewald moved that the con-
vention, instead of the county commit
tee, select the county chairman. There
was no second. The report was adopted
with amendments proposed by Colonel
Squires, giving the county outside five
instead of four members of the county
committee.
The quartet sang a song relating that

sWagger in the senate" and attacking

Kaighn Predicts Trouble.
There was a long delay while wait
ing for the report of the committee on
resolutions. Colonel Kaighn predicted
that the session would be a long one,
and intimated there would be trouble
and excitement before adjournment
He asked that the convention assist
him as much as possible in keeping
the meeting orderly.
The report of the committee on reso-
buttons was presented at $40 o'clock by
+. O. Leatherwood, chairman of the
committee. The report is printed else
where. It was adopted without dissent

Why Bowman Wanted Hanson.

Judge ]. NJ. Bowman said that mis-
take could be made easily in view of
present local conditions, in the nominal
ton of the wrong man for county at
torney. He declared that William
Hanson was a man of tried courage,
whose record is known to the people of
the county. A number of Seconding
speeches for both candidates were de-
liyered.
Bingham delegates aligned them
selves with the Hanson contingent.

Leatherwood- man who is not
ashamed of Utah. said a delegate from
the Second precinct.
WHO is ashamed of Utah 2" shouted
former Senator Arthur Brown. Il de-
nounce it as an untruth that any man
from Salt Lake is ashamed of Utah.
Angus NJ. Cannon moved, when the
call for the vote of the Sixtieth had
been called, to suspend the rules and
make the nomination of Hanson unani-
NOUS. Shouts were uttered from va
rious parts of the hall to continue the
count.

IBENNER X SMITH AND " n. WILLIAMS
chosen TO HEAD LEGISLATIVE TICKET

The convention adjourned few MN
utes after o'clock to meet at O'Clock.
AS usual, and following the precedents
established earlier in the day, it was
nearly a half hour past the schedule
time before there were sufficient
number of delegates assembled TO war
rant the chairman in sounding the
gavel.
The first. business taken up was the
nomination of two state senators.
Alonzo B. Irvine nominated Benner X.
Smith and suggested that the nomina-
ton should be by reclamation.
Smith was out for the nomination
four years ago. but was defeated by
Jacob MONTE, the slate candidate.
H. a. Smith nominated William n.
Williams, the machine candidate.
Attorney General NJ. \. Breeder
nominated Clesson S. Kinney. Attor-
ney General Breeder recited cata-
logue of the legal works written by
Kinney He suggested in an impas-
stoned peroration that Kinney and
Williams should be the nominees of the
convention.
Jake Greenewald said that it was a
well known fact that there were fac
tons in the party, and it would be
good thing to get the party together.
He seconded the nomination of Benner
Y. Smith.
Bishop Joseph Christensen moved
that the nominations close and the bal
lot be proceeded with at once. The
motion was carried without protest.
The advent of Benner X. Smith in
the race came as surprise TO many
of the delegates, who supposed that the
ways had been CREASED for the nominal
ton of Kinney and Williams. AS the
strength became apparent and Kinney
| received only twenty-five votes from
the districts outside the city.
Charles S. Zane received one compile
mentary vote for the senate. The vote
was counted as scattering" as his
name had not been suggested to the
convention,
ing vote: Williams, 452; Smith, S67,
| and Kinney, 216.

The first ball i'm the game for the
nominations for representative was
pitched by H. c. Edwards, who nomi-
mated Harry S. Joseph.
! Colonel George 3. Squires nominated
Harry J. Robinson, "a friend of
Heinze." The county delegates set up
! a veil of approval. He also nominated
Preston d. Richards. To keep the good
work going, he nominated Scipio Afri-
cannus Kenner. He desired to continue
with the nomination of the rest of the
slate, but the shouts of disapproval
were too strong for him and he sub
sided.
! j. NJ Caulson talked until delegates
shouted Time, timep' and Name
him. The tide of oratory could not
be stemmed until Carlson had finished.
/ He then named c. e. Marks
ID. O. Rideout asked for q representa-
tive of the educational interests of the
county. and named John NJ Mills.

rapid fire order.
Major H. P. Myton moved that the
ten receiving the highest number OF
ballots be the nominees of the conven-
ton. This was carried.
Then a roar broke forth from the

Those who took part in the convention
were generally submissive. 1t was pre-
dicted. however. that precious few of
the labor men in or out OF the conven-
zion would support the ticket.

Myton Knocked Over
Steven Stanford said that he, too. had
a candidate. He had never been in the
city and county building as an office
holder. but he could get the votes,
Major II. P. Myton. But little en-
thuSiasm greeted this nomination.
c. F. Patterson said he was suffer-
ing from a severe attack of cold land
modestY). If the voters are going 10
make a breach in the solid ranks of
officeholders in the city and county
building, II. p. Myton should be nomi-
mated.
Jake Greenewald and H, l. Nelson
seconded Myten's nomination.
H. II. Voss again stepped into the
calcium light. He characterized My
ton as gentleman and a scholar. Our
candidate should be able TO poll every
vote in the county of Utah.

Emery's deputies. moved that the NOM
nations be closed and the vote be pro-
ceeded with at once. The motion was
carried.

dates proceeded through the city in the
usual order. When the first district

of the entire county delegation was
cast for Brown with the exception of
three for Myton. Brown received 134
votes from his country friends, secur-
ing for him the nomination hands
down." The vote was announced as
follows: Brown, 399; Myton, lis.
Harry Joseph wanted a rest. He
moved Tor adjournment until 1880
