In the commissioners room at the
county building yesterday the Demo-
cratic county convention for the selec-
ton of delegates to the state Democratic
convention at Logan next Tuesday and
for the purpose of naming delegates to
the county judicial convention was held.
There was an unusually large attendance
and the convention was one of the most
enthusiastic held in years. Reports re-
ceived from all parts of the county indi-
Gated that there was more enthusiasm
Democratic victory this fall than for
many years past
1t was o'clock when county chairman
Samuel Thomas called the convention to
order and announced that the central
committee had selected Joseph Chez
chairman, ID. ID. Mckay vice chairman
and w. +. Bossner secretary as the tenn
porary officers of the convention A
short time afterWard these officers were
made permanent by unanimous vote.
Mr.. Chez addressed the convention
briefly on the existing political condi-
tions. He spoke of the progress of the
party; said that this was Democratic
year, and that Democracy is in the very
atmosphere. He referred to the recent
election in Maine and Indiana, and said
that all straws pointed to a Democratic
victory this fall by an overwhelming vote.
He maintained that the masses had come
together and had selected representative
candidates who believed in true Demo-
cratic principles, and predicted that the
party would carry Indiana. Illinois and
Ohio from among the group of states
usually classed as Republican He main
tanned that the people have become
educated up to the Bryan ideas. many
of which have been taken up by the Re-
publicans and advocated. although he
held that they could not explain why
they favored them.
The only other speaker of the day was
Rev. N S. Elderkin of the First Con-
gregational church of Ogden. He de-
voted his entire address to the prohibit
ton question, which he said was the
foremost thought in his mind. He said
that the recent Republican state conven-
ton at Salt Lake was cowardly and
afraid to name this as an issue to go
before the people with in the coming
election. He held his hearers in closest
attention and did not mince his words.
At the conclusion of his address the dele
gates loudly applauded him.
