SUTHERLAND GRILLS
THE "AMERICAN" PARTY
AT MORNING SESSION

In an address at the opening of the Re
publican state convention yesterday morn
ing, Senator George Sutherland, chairman
of the convention, discussed polucal con-
ditions in Utah and gave the -Ameri-
can" party a picturesque toasting Sen
timents expressed in Senator Sutherland's
address were echoed in the platform
adopted by the convention. The senator
said:
Party Not Dead.
"As | look into the faces of the men
and women who have gathered here from
every part of the commonwealth, and see
the earnestness and strength of purpose
which animates them, L feel sure that
the Republican party of Utah is not dead
nor dying. but is filled with the old-time
militant spirit, ready and anxious TO car
ry the battle-worn standard of Repub-
licanism to another glorious victory
against all its enemies, modern as well
as ancient, whether they. fight under the
regular flag of Democracy, the guerilla
flag of 'Americanism,' or under an I'M
holy and unnatural coalition of both of
them combined
when the smoke of the battle shall
have cleared away the grand old party
will be found still holding the fort. and
II will continue to hold the fort long after
its opponents have been called to the stool
of repentance or have been consigned to
the limbo of the foolish or the unre-
generate.
Judgment of the majority after the free
iy-considered and honestly-pronounced
becomes the unappealable law of the CAM
paign which every loyal Republican will
respect and follow. And so L think our
Democratic friends and our american
friends may possess their souls in peace.
Where there are radical differences Of
opinion, 1t is quite likely that some OF
US NAV be disappointed when the con-
vention has spoken but the party, as rep
resented by the convention, is the final
arbiter. and when it speaks its decisions
will be accepted. and we shall go on to-
gether cherfully and unitedly to gather
in the votes, licking the Democrats and
the Americans the Socialists and the

cordance with our usual practice and Gus
tom.
Political conditions in Utah are, to
say the least. somewhat peculiar. We
have every. brand of politics that exists
in the other states in the Union, and
one brand in addition, which does not
exist anywhere else on earth.
$50 far practical results are con-
cerned, there are three parties 10 be con-
sidered.
First, there is our old weather-be
friend. the Democratic party, with its
chaotic collection of variegated doctrines
differing with each campaign-consisting
of fifty-seven different varieties of po-
litical idiocy, each one a little bit worse
than the other fifty-siX, SO changing
and contradictory that the original con-
Tower of Babel becomes a sane and or
derby performance by comparison.
Toasts American" Party.
Mr. Sutherland reviewed the achieve
ments of the Republican party and en-
deavored to tear to tatters the record of
the Democratic party. Then began his
tale of the shortcomings of the ''Ameri-
cam party and said:
THE American party was organized
upon the theory that there was a HER
arch abroad in the land roaming up
and down frightening the women and
children, blasting the crops and caus-
ing sickness among the cattle. 1t was
the heavy, arduous mission of this Amer
lean organization to discover the where
abouts of this mysterious and terrible
creature, and to capture or destroy him.
The hunt for the hierarch has been no
quiet Sabbath Gay enterprise, but has
been carried with the ringing of alarm
bells, the footing of horns and the beat
ing of tom-tCms.

only hunted but they have bowled. They

only Gentiles who secured recognition,
while the nominations for congressman.

state, superintendent of public instruction
and two of the three nominations for
presidential electors went to Mormons.
The friends of Benner " Smith, real
izing the hopelessness of the attempt to
nominate him for congress, did not place
his name before the convention.
The news of the nomination of Hughes
as governor of New York on the Repub-
lican ticket. which was received during
the convention. was greeted with half
hearted applause, although a resolution
was passed rendering the congratulations
of the Utah convention to Governor
Hughes upon his victory.

for the state treasurership. The Weber
county delegation would be satisfied with
no other office, and the Howell machine
was forced to lend its support, although
this same support had been promised in
several other quarters. An appearance of
good faith was maintained for time by
splitting the machine vote between Matt
son, White and Smythe, but on the third
ballot White saw that his case was hope
less and withdrew. Myton, after strug-
Cling for ten minutes to be recognized
by the chairman, left the convention in
disgust
In the fight for auditor the delegates
from the southern and eastern counties
made desperate efforts to nominate
Jewkes, and the machine apparently kept
its hands off the contest Barnes made
some advantageous trades which drew a
large number of Jewkes supporters under

eraL Ajax and Calderwood had both been
promised the support of the machine and
the election of Jewkes was the first break

Weber county was satisfied with the
state treasurer nomination, and did not
place the names of Bagley, Murphy or
Halvorsen before the convention. Robin
son and Barnes entered into a combina-
ton. and Robinson withdrew and turned
his votes over to Barnes in order to de-
ing vote from his friends, but was never
dangerous.
There was no opposition to A c. Nelson,
who wanted the nomination for superin-
tendent of public instruction, except from
one lone delegate from Kane county, and
Nelson was placed on the ticket by accla-
nation.
