american" conventions named tickets
in the five wards of the city last even
ing. Two features marked all the con-
ventions equally: The first, a resolution
ostensibly requiring the councilmen, If
elected, to put none but Americans" on
guard in any position and really amount
ing to a covert attack on Mayor BTans-
ford and Chief of Police Mckenzie for
their attitude with reference TO Police
Captain Burbidge The second feature
was the failure in any ward to renOm-
mate any councilman who had been
elected two years ago by the 'Ameri-
cans"
In the First ward Crabtree had been
eliminated by the primaries and his name
was not presented to the convention.
Holiday, elected four years ago as
Republican, was given the short term
nomination in this ward. In the Sec
ond ward Carter, a successful 'Ameri-
can candidate two years ago, was beat
en- by L. S. Wood for the nomination
The 'refOrmerS' had no cOuncilmen i'm
the Third or Fourth. except Ferry, u
hOldOver In the latter. In the Fifth A.
j. Davis, elected as a Republican four
years ago, was chosen last night as an
American Mulvey the other "Ameri-
can councilman whose term expired,
was not mentioned, but this was prob
ably due to his desire to keep out of the
race. Black. the third councilman from
| the Fifth, is a hOldOver and so the con-
vention could not perform on him.
Drastic Resolution.
In all Of the wards except the Fourth
the following resolution was adopted:
We, the delegates of the American"
party Of the Second municipal ward of
| Salt Lake City. in convention assembled,
emDhatiCally protest against the appoint
ment Of any person to any official pO-
| Sition unless he be capable of filling such
position and be i'm accord with the Amer
| lean party Organization and iE hearty
sympathy with the party principles We
/ favor and urge that all officials under
| the administration who are not Amer
cans be removed and Americans APP
/ pointed to the stations so vacated
ITO the end that i'm the future the
party be held strictly accountable for
/ the conduct of It's officials and not be
1 handicapped by the acts of men who
/ are the partys antagonists. be it
Resolved That we pledge the nOmi-
I nees of this convention to a strict OBJ
| servance OF this sentiment: The Amer
( lean party Of Salt Lake City : charge
/ able with the conduct of its officials
/ There is no municipal station which an
| american" cannot fill with ability and
/ integrity. American" party principles
/ will triumph only through American
party administration by American" par
! ty officials in every department of gov
| eminent.
! The resolution adopted in the Fourth
/ provides much the same as the fOregO-
/ ing, but is more direct and specific.
I All OF the conventions were we'll at

most sanguine American" expresses
! nothing except hOpelessness. The Fifth
ward convention was presided over BY
/ Lester d. Freed. who. as chief Of the
/ white Slaves four years ago. assisted
I materially in the election of A. J. Da-
: Wis to the council.
| Seven Of the ten nominees are Repub-

| three Democrats nominated are in the
/ Third where there is absolutely no chance
