crrrt1rpr.AN,n,s PLANK
."
Senator Sutherland was author OF
one of the briefest and most important
planks in the Republican platform
That this plank should have peen IN
serted by a Utah delegate was lifting
recognition To Ctah's place AS great
mining state. and 1t in a measure ac-
complished the purposes for which the
John HAYS Hammond boom for the
vice presidency was launched.
The plank reads:
I'm the interests Of the great min
eral Industries of our country, we
earnestly favor the establishment of
bureau of mines and mining"
When asked about this important
plank. on which the mining states had
centered a pre-conVention fight, SEN
ator Sutherland said that he introduce
cd II in obedience with the resolution
passed by the state convention, and
that Il was adopted by the committee
on platform.
