spirit and devotion TO moral prln'

Confident in the splcndor of its
principles. in the greatness of its
work for this city and for the leav-
ening of political deadness in this
state, the American party claims
that il is dlstinctively the business

was coincided with and was the
cause of the magnificent advance in
population and wealth shown by the
United States census of 1910 for
Salt Lake. 1t holds that the gain
here in population in the ten years
was in fact gain made almost en-
tirely in the FIVE years of American
control.

speech in support OF her resolution.
She said that Brigham Young was a
law breaker and that when the picture

was at the behest OF the Mormon church.

Still Another Protest.

The next question ihat bobbed up was
a protest against the seating OF the dele
cation from the Twenty seventh. an anti
Bransford delegation, The ground or
protest was that Jesse Burnett. the chair
man OF the delegation. was no more a
resident OF the Twenty-seventh than
schoppe had been OF the Twenty-slxth;
yet he had been elected. II devloped
that Burnett had been a delegate from

but the point was raised that the ques
tion was not debatab!c The chairman
ruled that the, protest was out Of order,
him for he appealed from the decision
Of the chair. Capt. c. II Reed called Tor
a roll call on the question OF laying on
the table. The chairman ordered tho
roll call and then there was n general
protest from the anti BransfoTd people.
Judge Weber charged Captain Reed with
attempting TO filibuster for time.
In moment Of calm the chairman ex-
planned that the only thing he could do
WIS to order the roll call, inasmuch as
IL had been demanded and his decision
had been appealed from. Then Judge
withdrew his motion TO Law on the table
and the Chalrmpns ruling that the pro-
test WAS out OF order stood. and the
Burnett incident was thing OF the
past.
The ma jority Of the committee on per
maneut Organization recommended that
In baliotiug for commissioners the two
persons receiving tho highest number of
votes be declared the choice for the long.
or four year term, and the two persons
receiving the next highest be the choice
for the short. or two-ycaT term.
The minority report was signed by 4.
r. Moon1and made tho plan OF selecting
commissioners on the segregated system;
that is that the long term commission .
ers be chosen first and the short ternners
next. There was another discussion on
this point and a ron call was ordered.
