KNIGHTS COLUMBUS
ABOUT READY FOR A
BIG DAY IN CAMP

Sunday. July II. is the date set by
p. F. McCarren. commander OF the
Knights of Columbus in Nevada, for
the organization of lodge in Ely.
The event from all indications will
be one of the most noteworthy ever
taking place here. A splendid pro-
gram is planned to be given.
According to the usual rule of the
order installation will commence in
the morning when the candidates and
lodge officers who are to put them
through the degrees of the order Will
attend mass at the Sacred Heart
church. Immediately after mass a
short recess will be taken and at
1880 degree work will be started
from that time until all the candi-
dates have been put through the
three degrees of the order this work
will be constantly kept up. A ban
quet served in St. Lawrence hall Will
follow degree work.
The banquet, it is thought, will be
spread for about rs persons and will
be made memorable by toasts and
speeches by the lodge men. 1t is
probable that to assist Mr.. MvCar-
rem in the work Judge Masginnis and
City Attorney Devine of Ogden will
be in attendance.
The local lodgemen will elect all
officers before the institution of the
lodge, the election probably taking
place within the next fortnight. This
would have been done earlier but
several of the applications have not
I nj ritz
and it is not yet known who will be
eligible for membership.
1t is thought that there will be be-
| tween 80 and 40 candidates for mi
tiation into the lodge while there are
already quite number of the lodge
men in the district.

The Republican convention will
finish its work with nomination of a
candidate for vice president, proba-

country would be glad TO see the
honor bestowed upon John Hays

only worthy but capable. However,
political exigencies seem likely TO
bring about different disposal of the
nomination. In any event the sup
Dorters of Mr.. Hammond will be in
the field this fall in full cry for the
Republican ticket from top to bot

The nomination of VIM. II. Taft
by the Republican party yesterday in
national convention gives TO it a
leadership for the campaign which
has been demonstrated during the
last few months as great in resource
fulness and stalwart in contention for
that which it believes right. Mr..
Taft has entered into no quibbling:
has stood firmly on ground taken
upon announcement of his candidacy
and carries the honors from conven-
ton with colors flying, after fair,
square honorable and open fight
with the field. He comes out COM
paratively easy victor with apologies
nor explanations owing to none.
While the nomination of Mr.. Taft
was a certainty in the public mind
for weeks before the final count of
votes, the public nevertheless finds
it grateful to know that he has won.
His opponents before the convention
for weeks knew that they We're with
