Cripple Creek Colo. Mr., Smith was
elected president of the congress and
presided over It's deliberations
So closely had his time been devoted
10 public affairs and TO the affairs OF the
church that he had not had time TO de-
vote TO any extensive personal business
enterprises. He was, however. connected
with number OF the leading institu-
tions OF the state as an officer and d.
rector. in which positions he eN-
hibited the same ability and enterprise
that marked his whole life.
BY nature and training he was admir-
ably equipped for public duties. He had
and an extensive acquaintance with
prominent men not only in Utah but IN
the whole country as well. These quail
ncations together with his faculty for
making and holding friends. fitted
him admirably for the positions and la
bors that fell to him 10 perform,
His easy natural and unassuming
straightforward character. and bespoke
The possession OF courage of the highest
type. These qualities impressed all
his sincerity no matter how opposed
they may have been TO his views. HIS
happy disposition always enabled
him To take the most cheerful view OF
conditions. no matter how discouraglng
