Makes hit with Audience.
To the scowling disgue>t Of King,
Olesen made a big hit with the au-
tiience when he lambastci Plutccracy
and Palmerism and asked platform
to encourage cooperation in Industry
instead of the present plan which
recognizes excellence in seltsShness,
greed, fraud, speculation, pru6teering
and the dictatorship Of money as the
goal Of individual ambition and init
, alive"
As to the treaty makers, Olesen
said his followers in Utah had no
choice between Republicans and De-
mocrats, since peace could not be pre-
served BY \ League of Nationals COM
posed OF governments which are conf
'mitted either to impcrialistic smbi-
tions or to commercial. and economic
Suhjugation Of peoples,
Limit Earning Power Of Money
Olesen said his friends in Utah
wanted plain limit set to the earn
ing power Of money So that prof.
teering could be recognized at a
glance. He demanded government
ownership Of railroads, coal, oil, tim
Der and mineral lands, water power
sites AM. natural gas, He demanded
tuc Ao"IttoN u asVNuCAtoU> IL l&UVl
disputes and that the government
take over every industry that private
initiative failed to keep going. He
demanded abolition of the embargo
against Russia and payment Of the
war debt by taxing war profits.

NOMINATED RuOSEVElT
FOR VICE PRESIDENT
franklin n, Roosevelt of New
York assistant secretary Of the navy,
was nominated for vice president to-
day by the Democratic national con-
vcntion and became the runningmate
Of Governor James NJ. Cox Of Ohio,
the Democratic choice for the preSi-
dental nomination. The first cries Of
"CoN and Roosevelt" rang thru the
convention hall and were mixed with
the shouts Of the vote of reclamation
by which he was nominated without a
ballot.
Despite the disinclination Of the
!ammany organization to accept him,
Roosevelt's name went owe with = |
band wagon movement, during which
all other candidates were withdrawn. |
Mr.. Roosevelt was placed in nom- |
inaticn by Timothy Lansverry, a
former Representative from Ohio,
,,,aT lo1A - Hf>xs
trict of Columbia delegation. Seconds |
sprang from all parts of the conven-
ton hall, and although Roosevelt was |
not formally nominated until we'll al |
ter the business Of nomination was |
taken up. there was never any doubt |,
about it. and never ut any time was |
there any opposition, The seconding |
of his nomination by Governor Smith |
Of New York, from the Tammany |
delegation, clinched it.
Senator Robinson of Arkansas, |
permanent chairman Of the con-
vention was appointed to notify Gov !
ernor Cox of his nomination and
Chairman Cummings of the Demo-
cratic national committee was ap-
pointed chairman of the committee
to notify Mr.. Roosevelt.
No Preference BY Cox
After its tumultuouS session of
forty-four ballots the convention re-
assembled at noon to finish it, work.
There was at first a delay utilized by
the Cox managers to hear from the
Governor about his wishes on the
vice presidential nomination. E. H.
Moore OF Youngstown. O., who man
aged the governors fight, let it be
known that Cox was willing to leave Il
the selection of his running-mate to Il
the convention. With that the forces Il
easily and quickly coalesced. and af-
ter Roosevelt's nomination applauied Il
an appreciation of him by his chief. Il
