A lively demonstration was held in
Salt Lake City last night to celebrate
the nomination of Woodrow Wilson as
the Democratic candidate for president
of the United States.
The demonstration was remarkable
not only for the enthusiasm shown by
more than thousand citizens, but
from the fact that it was arranged
and successfully carried out IN such
short time. Less than one hour
after the word had been re-
ceived in Salt Lake City that Wilson
had been nominated money had been
raised; band secured, banners
painted and plenty of red fre Pur'
chased to make demonstration such
as has never been seen IN salt Lake
City on such short notice: Judge o. H.
Thurman and Thomas Fitzgerald were
the leading spirits in the movement.
The entire celebration, lasting more
than two hours. was over before the
Baltimore convention had adjourned or
those taking part in it knew who the
nominee for vice president would be-

The principal part of the celebration
last night was held in front OF Inc
Tribune Telegram office. Here the
band played many tunes, red hre was
burned and some of the leading mem
