Two staunch Americans were placed
in nomination by the American party s
state convention, held in the Colonial
theater Saturday night, after the coun-
ty convention had adjourned. These
two are Allen IT. Sanford, candidate for
the office Of representative in congress
from Utah, and Judge John 4. Street,
candidate for the office of justice of
the supreme court of this state. Both
are residents OF Salt Lake, and arc
known throughout Utah and beyond as
sterling citizens.
Mr.. Sanford and Judge Street stand
on platform that sets forth the prin-
ciples of Amercanism as sturdily as
does the platform adopted by the county
convention This platform is given IN
its full text in another portion of The
Tribune.
Ringing speeches were made at the
state convention, speeches that rang
braveJy with the spirit of American
ism, of patriotism, of a determination
to redeem this fair commonwealth from
a condition into which it has been
plunged by official malefactors.
Some Fine Music.
The state convention was called to

STAN Mrs. Hammer also sang two
beautiful soprano solos. Miss Marjorie
Mulvcy accompanied at the piano.
Mr.. DAILY, in addressing himself brief
ly to the convention, said:
II must be a source OF deep srauhca-
ton to you all ii you were her" and hao
witnessed today inc placing IN nomina-
ton OF the county ticket tor Salt Lake
county, and that leads 10 the thouGhl
that the uttle handful OF men but u lew
short years ago formulated ana started
and originated what is now known as
the great American party OF Utah Anu
that leads To the further thought look
ing backward into the history OF Ameri-
canism In Utah, there was u time when
the nag Of our country was not honorcd.
There was time wncn there came TO
Utah the pioneer American, General Con-
nor and planted that lag, and IL was
indeed days that tried mems souls. ana
he planted that ilag of Americanisrn, OF
liberty In Utah, with valiant httlc
band who stood with him shoulder To
shoulder in that fight Men from other
clImes came and stayed a while. Ihey
away. and gradually, year by year, thcrS
were accretions to his members, and.
eventually, In 1890. there WAS the glorious
victory won in this country by the Amcrl-
can party then known as the old Lib
eral party. And then they divided on
party lines and became Republicans ana
Democrats. and that passed for "A few
years, and then came the great american
party of today. the party mat IN Il rev
short years Will make this state of Utah
an American state. .
IL perhaps would be prophetic if, In
these trying political times. / should say
that the American party, started mere
gradually grow and win Salt Lake ooun-
~ and other counties, and finally The
state of Utah, and finally the Paoiiic
states. We are going to place in the
field n candidate for congress and a can
didate for the supreme court OF this
state.
