KEYNOTE" By DUNBAR.
Tin Sign Man Acts as Chairman Of
the Convention.


The morning session of the convention
was called to order by City Chairman J.
Z. DarmeT. who, without consent intro
duced David G. Dunbar as temporary
chairman. Mr.. Dunbar sounded the key
note He said at the outset that the
purpose of the American" party was to
bring about such condition in Utah that
men might bring their capital here for
investment without feeling the necessity

COmmeTcialiSm, embarrassed and untram-
meled, and 1t stands for such conditions
as will enable any man to make a legiti-
mate profit without becoming a hypO-
critic. Mr.. Dunbar called attention to
what he said had been accomplished by
the American party since its organize
ton three years ago, and declared that
the organization would continue its eff
forts until the absolute separation u
church and state was assured.
The speaker gave an unbounded meas
uFe of praise to the American" city adj
mlnlstratiOn, crediting Ezra Thompson.
former mayor, with practically unlimited
honesty Of purpose and feaTlessness in
carrying out the principles he believed to
be right. He conceded to Mayor Brans-
ford as much intelligence as he allotted
to Mr. Thompson and predicted that I'M
der the BransfoTd regime the plans Of

Ali Credit Claimed.
Mr.. Dunbar continuing, claimed all the
credit for street improvements. for sOiv-
ing the water problem and for everything
else good he could think Of for the
American party. He laid special stress
on the stOppage of public gambling de-
claring that everybody should vote the
American ticket for that reason If for
no other. Also the temporary chairman

the fact that the chief, Sheets, was forced

In a convention that. for acTimOny Of

leans" nominated their city ticket yes
terday afternoon. Today there are many
sore spots, spots that viii hardly heal
between now and voting time
The first battle of the day was precipi-
tated in the afternoon over a resolution
presented by Joseph Lippman, who was
believed to be acting for the ''peTsuad-
ers," practically empowering the city
committee TO appoint all the minor city
officers The resolution implied a lack
of confidence that was bitterly resented.
One speaker after another scored it. Mr..
Lippman entered a lawyer-like defense.
but without avail. Near the close Of the
debate. seeing that his resolution was
doomed to defeat and fearing a show
down, Mr.. Lippman withdrew his prOpO-
sition.
Behind the resolution was the arrogant
ly intolerant faction of the party that
has been endeaVOring to secure the re-
movaI of Captain John b. Burbidge from
the police force. This was the purpose
of the resolution, although of course no
names were mentioned. The anti-Bur-
bidge clique was willing to vote a lack
of confidence in the partys nominees IN
order to secure an implied pledge for
the removal Of the captain.
And there was another purpose. May
independent 1t is known, also, that he
regards Captain Burbidge as an honest.
faithful and efficient officer. Few men
in the convention believed that John s.
Bransford would accept the mayoralty
nomination on platform into which the
Lippman resolution was incorporated. Th7
acceptance of nomination with such a
string attached TO it is utterly at vari-
ance with Mr.. Bransfords character 1t
would have suited the persUadeTs very
well indeed TO club the resolution through
and then have BransfOrd decline the nom
nation
But the resolution was withdrawn. and
BransfOrd, travelling eastward as rapid
~ as steam and steel can carry him, was
nominated. There was little enthusiasm
about the prcCeedills. The nominating
speech aroused some enthusiasm, but the
nomination was made in d peTfunctory
way-a way that evidenced only slight
interest in the proceeding This was true
of all the other nominations except thai
of a candidate for trea surer.

Snyder Defeats swenson.

Gideon A. Snyder defeated Frank Sven
son in this race. He defeated him be
cause. as Snyder's friends boldly asserted.
the nomination of Snyder would mean a.
heavy increase in the campaign fund.
Practically all of those who spoke for
Snyder talked along this line. Qualifi-
cations for the office were lost sight Of.
SwensOn was beaten simply and solely
because he could not put up a large sum
of money for the campaign. This was a
recognized fact in the convention.
SwensOn ran game race. He was
not beaten until the last district had been
called. and that his friends were very,
very sore was demonstrated by vi6or-

Wonder Of Plant Memory.

Plant memory is a problem for the
inquisitive botanist, says the Dundee
Advertiser. In 1901 plant allied to
the squash and pumpkin was taken to
New York from the desert of Sonora,
in Mexico, and since then 1t has been
kept-without watering-in a strange
climate $500 miles from home Dur
ing the six weeks OF rain in the des-
ert the plant grows its leaves and
flowers and perfects it's seed Then
It dries up and leaves only a water
filed gourd, which a thick, hard shell
seals against animals and evaporation
The transplanted specimen still re-
members the rainy season Of six
weeks. 1t wakes, sends out rootlets,
stems and leaves, and then dries up
again until the following year.

OF Interest to Women.

Every woman naturally should be
healthy and strong, but great many
women, unfortunately, are not, owing
to the unnatural condition of the lives
we lead. Headache, backache and a
general tired condition are prevalent
amongst the women of today, and to
relieve these conditions women rush
to the druggists for a bottle of some
preparation supposed to be particular
ly for them, and containing-nobody
knows what. If they would just get
a box of Brandreths Pills. and take
them regularly every night for time,
all their trouble would disappear, as
these pills regulate the organs Of the
feminine system. The same dose al
ways has the same effect, no matter
how long they are used.
Brandreth's pills have been in use
FOR over century, and are for sale
everywhere, plain or sugar-coated.
