LIVELY CAMPAIGN AND
VICTORY SAYS CHAIRMAN
G. o. p. State Chairman for Utah
Delivers Eloquent Key Note
Acceptance Speech

His statement in accepting the
state Craftsmanship of the Republican
party in Utah shows by its vigor why
the candidates and state committee
unanimously agreed upon Glen Mil
Ter for the place. He said that the
number of young men on the ticket
will assure a lively political fight, and
that the putting up of new candidates
for places well filled by present oc-
cupants only shows the favor of many
for the rotation Of executive service.
He insisted that there will be no
rupture in the Utah Republican party
on account of Governor Spry's not
being nominated for reelection.
In closing Mr.. Miller said:
THE record of the Republican
party in Utah is fittingly commemo-
rated by the completion of the new
Capitol-2O years of uninterrupted
Republican government without sus-
picion of graft or faint of scandal.
1t measures 20 years in time, but SO
years in achievement. 1t has been
a period of big accomplishments
good roads in every direction, school
houses which are a source of admira-
ton, great and extended irrigation
projects, an entirely new era of dry
farming, mammoth smelters, mills
and mining enterprises in profitable
operation, new chemical industries,
cities full of prosperity and growth,
"a fine, up-to-date type of home com
forts-in short, Republican admins
~tration has been marked by CONNER
cial growth and good feeling in Utah.
What higher tribute could a party
want, what better Endorsement, what
keener appeal, what more brilliant
record with which to fire the mag
ination of voters? The Republicans
are going to win"

II, then, the whole purpose of the
new and old testaments, beginning. at
the close of Mosaic history, with the
word of God" through the mouths
of His prophets, is to reassembIe the
Semitic race, then it is interesting to
note:

ly to the descendants of Jacob, now
known as Jews and IsraeIites.
2. The Temple of Jehovah" will
have just twelve entrances, (Eze-

ants of the twelve original tribes"

James, John, Thomas, etc., re-estab-
ished here in immortal bodies, are to

8. The $4,000 chosen servants of
God (RevelatiOn 7:4-8), we are plain

race except children of the twelve
sons Of Jacob.
What, then, is to become of the
Latin popes and cardinals land of

FOR WILSON. - The Day Books
prediction issues, for the last
month or so, publish reasons of we'll
known men why they are going to
vote for Pres. Wilson.
I, too, want to tell my reasons, but
to the contrary.
l am fully in accord with Ford,

Wilson's personality, his genuine sin
cerity, his good faith, his greatness
as an executive. These are splendid
qualities, but - well, the mere fact
that he sails in the same political
ship with Taggars, Ryans, Murphies,
SUlliVans, UndeTWOOds and many
other reactionary Democrats out
does his personal good virtues, there
by reducing his standing to that of
a conservative Democrat. And this
is where he actually stands.

edly fine, but he gravely erTs when
he hopes to carry them out. Errs be-

which will, no doubt, endeavor to
check his humane policies. Mr. Will

the greatest presidents of our repub-
lie because of his striving for justice,
but it will record his method as one

A Dangerous Traffic.

New York is greatly worried over the
possibility that the explosion early Sun
day morning in Jersey City may cause
the prohibition of traffic in munitions
at that port. Jersey City is strongly ad
vocating such prohibition, which would
drive to another port the immense trade
in explosive material that for months
has been flowing out of New York har-
Dor. A change of port, however, could
be effected only with the greatest diff
Guilty. At few points along the Atlantic
seaboard are there wharf and storage
facilities sufficient to accommodate the
immense quantities of war materials
that are being handled in the neighbor-
hood Of New York. II New Jersey pro-
hibits the traffic New York has NO spare
terminal facilities which could be util-
ized. and the trade would probably 60
to different cities along the coast. In
this emergency there is doubtless some
regret that the late Austin Corbin's
project for the development Of great

Hughes and Suffrage.

Mr.. Hughes declarations in favor Of
woman suffrage, first in general terms
in his speech Of acceptance Monday
night and next in specific Endorsement
of the Anthony amendment in his letter
to Senator Sutherland, place him in a
position of undeniable advantage with
reference to the support Of the suffra-
gist organizations and the woman
voters Of this country. His reasoning
in favor of suffrage indicates that he
has made a careful study of the sub
closely while not participating in the
discussion. It is characteristic Of Mr..
Hughes methods while he was Governor
Of New York that, holding, as he does,
that the franchise should be extended
to women, he believes that the suffrage
should be granted them by direct and
immediate method rather than by the
slower process of action by the individ-
ual states. The argument for the
Anthony amendment is that it permits
a prompt decision by the country at
large on the subject without depriving
the states of their right to vote on it
directly. The suffragists hold that they
have proceeded about as far as possible
in the state-bystate campaign owing to
the difficulties surrounding constitu-
lp, 70 in ha toto nf
the Mississippi river, the older common
wealths of the Union. They do not ad-
init that there is less desire for the ex
tension of the suffrage in the east than
in the west, holding that if the matter
could be submitted to popular vote
simultaneously in all the states in the
form Of the proposed constitutional
amendment subject to ratification by the
they would carry the neces-
sary three-fourths for approval. The
advantage that they gain in the submis-
sion of the federal amendment is that
it retains its vitality indefinitely, where
as in many of the states the constitu-
tional amendment once proposed and
defeated may not be reintroduced for
a considerable period. Mr.. Hughes ad-
vocacy of the constitutional amendment
method of deciding this issue cannot
fail greatly to aid the cause of suffrage,
which has so steadily gained ground in
the United States and which must uiti
mately triumph.

"Icebergs." f"

Mr.. Hughes is said 10 be surprised at
meeting the word iceberg" again. He
met it in both of his races for Governor
of New York, and thought he had dis
posed of it. But it viii probably do
him no harm As il did him no harm
then, why should it harm him nowi He
will encounter it as long as he lives. 1t
is a charge that sticks, and particularly
if really baseless.
Many eases may be cited, but one is
aptiy in point. Gen. Harrison, although
a warm hearted man of ready sympa-
.thies, was described as an "iceberg."
The description stuck, but did not in
jure him. 1t did not, as intended, de-
feat him for President in 1888, and it
did not cause his defeat in 1892 An
amusing feature of the use of the charge
in both those campaigns was that Gen.
Harrison's opponent was not himself
celebrated for chumminess or geniality.
Mr.. Cleveland was the very opposite of
q hail fellow, well met.
So now. Mr. Wilson is quite as far
as is Mr.. Hughes from representing the
hurrah variety of politician. He car
ries himself with the reserve that he and
many others associate with high Office
and great responsibility. There are
those who call him an iceberg" He

The Deutschland's Start Home.

Undoubtedly, regardless of partisan
ship, the people of this country hope
that the Deutschland, the great German
submarine merchantmen, may safely re-
turn to her home port on the voyage
which began yesterday afternoon. The run
of the Deutschland from Bremen to Bal
timore was a plucky performance, in
teresting as a demonstration of the pos
sibility of undersea cargo carriage, but
not especially important as affecting the
economic situation in Europe. The men
who brought the vessel across the At
lantic have been feted and praised and
the people of the country take per
sonal interest in them as they start on
their way back home.
The Deutschland will have no easy
sailing to reach Bremen. A squadron of
warships of the allied powers has for
some time been patrolling the waters off
the Virginia eapes, and in order to pass
this Gordon the submarine will need to
dive while within the three-mile limit
and remain under the surface for some
distance out to sea. If she can stay
under water long enough and maintain
a good speed she may get out of the
range of the watching craft sufficiently
to have good chance of escape. Gen
orally speaking, probably her chances
are better than those of the patrol, al
though the watching ships are perhaps
eight to one.
It has been repeatedly stated that the
Deutschland would not sail for home
until her sister ship, the Bremen, which
is supposed to have started for this coun
try at about the time of the Deutsch-
lands arrival here, or later, had reached
an American port. The fact that the
Bremen had not been publicly spoken
when the Deutschland sailed from Bal
timore does not signify that she is not
approaching this coast. If communica-
ton is possible between the Bremen and
the shore it may be that the Deutsch-
land is being sent to sea with shrewd
reckoning as to time, in order to in
crease her chances of escape and those
of the Bremen to make port unmolested.
Many rumors have circulated ever since
the Deutschland reached Baltimore. The
lates. fantastic report is that the
Deutschland never sailed from the other
side, but was put together on or near
the Atlantic coast and brought to the
capes within the three-mile limit. Re-
ports of the capture of the Bremen have
been repeatedly circulated. In short,
this submarine merchantmen enterprise
has been the most thoroughly adver-
tised bit of navigation work ever known.

,deep-water shipping terminal at Mon
tauk point has not been carried into
execution. It was Corbin's plan to make
the eastern end Of Long Island the main
freight terminal for New York, devel-
oping the Long Island railroad and con-
structing an immense dock system at
Montauk. New York feared the digres-
sion Of traffic and opposed the plan,
which languished until its protector died
and his railroad property passed into
other hands. Montauk point would be
a most suitable place for munitions
shipments, being far enough from con-
gested habitation to reduce the danger
from such explosions as that of Sunday
morning to q minimum.

Some years ago a candidate for gov
ernor in an eastern state kept q speak
ing appointment one very warm night
in small hall in a large city. His au-
dience was composed Of plain, every
day men, and in an effort to convince
them that there was nothing "stuck up"
about him he peeled off his coat and
vest, dropped his suspenders to his side
and laid his collar and cravat on the
stand before him. In an instant he saw
his mistake. The audience resented the
suggestion; and, for him, the atmos-
phere became Icelandic.
Only few years ago a candidate for
governor in a middle state whose party
was in power and who was thought to
have fair prospects Of election tried at
one of his speaking Appointments to
curry favor with the plain people by
saying in off-hand style: "When Pm
governor I want you folks to come to
see me- Walk right in, hang your hats
anywhere and spit on the floor if you
like" The crowd was not impressed
with him or his invitation, and he was
not elected. His opponent had some
thirty-odd thousand the best Of the poll.
Getting close to the plain people" is
an old gag in politics. As matter of
fact, the people are not as plain as some
of their "jolliers" assume. As a rule,
in choosing leaders, they hook to men
of purpose and intellectual substance,
rather than to those of the other kind.

Public Speaking and Punch"

The opponents of Mr. Hughes declare
that his speeches in the west have lacked
punch; that he has created no wild
enthusiasm anywhere 1t is admitted
that the crowds have been large, the
most eapacious halls being filled to ca
pacity; and no mention has been made
of any sign of impatience with the
speaker. His audiences have not thinned
out after a short experience of him, but
have remained and given attention to
the end.
The comparison, of course, is with eff
fects produced by Mr.. Roosevelt and
Mr.. Bryan when they are stumping.
They are whoopers-up of the first quail
ity. Crowds rise to them as under a
spell. The one by his animation and
fe,erisb volubility, and the other by his
action and smooth phrasemaking, play
upon an audience, to use familiar fig
ure, as a musician upon his instrument.
Mr.. Hughes possesses no such faculty.
In the accepted sense, he is not an ora
tor, and nothing whatever Of an actor.
But he is a speaker of very great force I;
and the fact that his audiences stay un-
