Logan, Utah. Sept. 22.-Jesse knight
is the Democratic candidate for gov
ernor of Utah Mr. knight did not want
the nomination, and insisted that he
would not accept it under any condi-
tons, yet an optimistic, enthusiastic
convention nominated him over his Pro-
test, hoping and believing that he will
yet yield not only TO a united Democ-
racy, but to a union OF all those men
in the state who believe that mis- cleo
ton would be potent factor in en,ling
the religious warfare i'm Utah and re-
store the peace and good feeling that
make for happiness and prosperity.
Mr.. knight reached Salt Lake on
Monday evening. and friends who saw
him believed that while he was IelIc-
tant to contest the governorship. he was
still prepared to accede if he found the
sentiment unanimous for his nomina-
ton As soon as the train left Salt
Lake this morning. he made his posi-
ton clear TO delegates that under nc
circumstances would he accept
Proof Against Pressure.
One after another of the leading mer
of the party endeavored TO dissuadt
him from the decision. The only APP
parent effect was to weary Mr.. -Kni;yh,
and themselves. and to make Mr.
Knight regret more deeply the neces-
sity of following his own judgment
After reaching Logan, Mr.. and Mrs
Knight dined with friends and left to-
day on the O'Clock train. His depart
ure and his understood decision were
without effect upon the convention. His
nomination was insisted upon so gen
orally that no other person was consid-
cred The scene when he was nomi-
mated tonight was unparalleled in the
political annals of the state.
When Uncle Jesses name was uttered
by Abel ]. Evans. who placed him in
nomination for governor, there was a
demonstration lasting twenty-four MN
utes which would have thrilled "Urole
Jesse's" heart had he remained at the
convention to witness it.
]. William Knight. son of the NOM
inee, was in the convention hall. but
the roar and applause were so great
that he was not able to announce that
his father on leaving Logan on an aft
ernoon train, SO as to escape the hon
ors he did not seek. had instructed him
to decline the nomination.
Evans Nominating Speech.
Mr.. Evans address in making the
nomination was brief. He told OF the
sterling character of Mr. Knight and
of his achievement in Utah.
Although fortune has smiled upon
him." said Mr.. Evans, Mr. knights
success in life has been founded upon
sympathy for others and square DIAL
ing.
In his mines the men worked seven
days a week at one time. Mr.. Knight
thought that this was too much work
for the toilers underground and he
gave his men days rest every week
There was some objection TO this, as

turned in sums over $1,000 Mr.. Mack
said that the Standard Oil company
had never even made an attempt to
contribute to the campaign fund.

ness mems national Bryan and Kern
committee. today appointed a number
of business men from each state MEM
bers of the committee, and called a
meeting of the committee TO meet in
Chicago on Oct. and s, when National
Chairman Mack and Mr.. Bryan will adj
wise with the members.
National Committeeman John T. Nc
Gray of West Virginia, who attended
today's meeting, said that in his opin-
ion conditions in West Virginia had
never been so suspicious for Democrat
ic success since 1892, and that Bryan
would undoubtedly be elected. Mr.. Nc
Graw said that the coal miners We're
either out of work or working on half
time. and that they were anxious 10
vote the Democratic ticket.
Melville. f. ingalls, of Cincinnati
called on Chairman Mack today and
declared that Ohio was without doubt
safe for the Democrats.

lice, a score in all, quickly surrounded
the place of concealment. He was final

necessary TO shoot him. infiicting a
wound in the leg, and he was taken
back TO the asylum.
Supposed to Be Harmless.
The murder occurred directly In front

tients at the asylum which is a gov
eminent institution. Maloney, 80 years
old, lived on the place with his family.
Lightfoot 40 years old, has been a pa
tient at the hospital for eight years,
and was regarded as of harmless ma
ture. For some time he has been serv-
ing as an assistant to the overseer. He
was given in that capacity some of the
privileges akin to those accorded the
TRUSTEES" i'm criminal institutions.
Lightfoot today became suddenly vio-
lently insane. Grasping an iron bar,
which was close at hand. he struck at
Maloney, and the blow landed on the
overseer's head. crushing his skull and
causing instant death. Immedia tely
the murderer sought to effect his es-
cape. Mile Follin was in the way and
he struck at her. also crushing her
skull She dropped dead to the ground

Continuing in his fight. he encoun-
tered Miss Robinson and tried to kill
her. His aim was bad. however. and he
succeeded in infijcting only slight
scalp wound and broken arm. Light
foot ran through the gates. The police
finally located him in the swamps near
Giesboro Point, and closed in on him.
Then he fled again into the grounds of
the city poor house. There he fought
the police with stones and sticks and 1t
was found necessary to fire at him. 1t
was not until he was shot in the leg
that he was finally subdued and taken
back to the asylum.

INSIDE HISTORY OF THE
CHICAGO CONVENTION
RESOLUTIONS COMMITTEE DEL
UGED WITH TELEGRAMS TO
BEAT ANTI-iNJUNCTION

st. Louis. Sept. 22.-J. w. Van Cleave.
president of the National Manufacturers
association, in a speech tonight at the
banquet of the Missouri Manufacturers
association at the Southern hotel. said
that the American Federation of Labor
played confidence game on President
roosevelt and other party leaders at
Washington last winter
We saw in Washington" said Mr. Van
Cleave. party leaders and civic bodies
invite representatives of the American
Federation of Labor into their councils
and ask them what legislation they
wanted. We saw the president of the
United States make treaties with those
labor officials with almost as much for
mality as he would with diplomatic rep
or any other great power. What enabled
the federation to play this confidence
game son the party leaders and the presi-
dent? Organization"
Insists Upon Open Shop.
Mr.. Van Cleave urged that employers
organize. saying in all our factories we
must insist upon the open shop. The la
Dor societies have made union among us
imperative and at the same time have
shown us what union can accomplish.
We must get together so we can WELD an
influence to elect courageous and special
spirited men TO office and we must aid
them while In office in enforcing the stat
utes and the ordinances against law
breakers or all sorts.
Alleged Drift to Socialism.
How did we prevent the federation's
politicians from coercing the Republican
party in the Chicago convention in June
from putting their anti-injunction and
pro-boycott demand into the platform? In
response TO Dur appeal 10000 kilograms of
protest deluged the resolutions committee
and the convention leaders, and the labor
unions anti-American plot was foiled.
Socialism is absorbing unionism The
drift of most of the unions is strongly
toward the DebS and Haywood fOllies
Some of the unions have embraced these
fclles already. Every year the Socialists
make a strong fight TO control the Arneri-
can Federation of Labor.
They are by far the best organized
the most aggressive and most resourceful
Of its members. The laundering OF the ig-
norant and arrogant persons who are the
head of the federation renders il newt
able that the Socialists will get control OF
the league in the end

A terrible boiler explosion occurred
at the home of Mr.. John NJ. Miller,
about a mile and half nortp OF the
village of tqerardsto @n, on last Friday
July 8, about 10 o'clock, in which one
lost his life and two others had an al
most miraculous escape.
MIR. Miller hadJgotten new corn
erusher and had hitched the machine
to an eight horsepower engine and
was about to begin crushing corn. Mr..
Harry Mason, living IN the vicinity
was running the engine and had about
100 lbs of steam on. He was standing
by the boiler about the fly wheel, and
Mr.. Miller, and Calvin Grim had just
gone into the corn house standing but
about four feet from the boiler, only
about half minute before the explo-
sieR came. The explosion shook the
very earth and was heard for miles
around. Mason was blown about 80
feet and was picked up in dying con-
ditlon and lived but about an hour
and half. He was taken to the house
and DIR. Shipper was called but there
was netting that could be done and
The unfortunate nan died. Though
conscious almost until death Mason
was unable to give any account Of the
probable cause of the explosion.
Mr.. Miller and Mr.. Grim had very
narrow esc"p pc. The end of the build
ing in which they were was perforated
with flying pieces of iron and some
passed within few inches of the two
men but fortunately neither was hurt.
There were pieces of the boiler and
engine strewed for several hundred
yards around, piece weighing about
$50 lbs. WAS thrown more two huA-
dred yards away.
Mr.. Mason was q years Of age and
leaves wife but no children.
