This statement state-ment Is in nccord with the declaration at tho first district congressional convention con-vention hold In the Orpheum theater and which nominated Mr. Hoyt over Joseph Howell, tho present Incum-bont, Incum-bont, and an older man. Tho fact wan more clearly demonstrated in tho balloting which showed Mr. Hoyt and his close second, Thomas O'Donnell. the candidate from Vernal, also a young man, to bo In tho lead from the outset With the majority o the delegates dele-gates young men It was apparent that their sympathies wero with tho younger young-er candidates, as neither Mr. Howell nor Joseph Jacob Johnson from Sanpete San-pete county, the fourth candidate for tho nomination, appcarod to De in the running. The charge that the convention was not a Republican convention, but a "Dull Mooso" convention, Is refuted In the keynote speech of Lewis Larson, the chairman. Mr. Larson stated specifically that he was a "returned Bull Moose" and explained his return in the statement that tho Republican party, since the revolt against reac-tionarlsm reac-tionarlsm four years ago, had become be-come progressive and that that progression pro-gression was in sympathy with the Ideals of tho now united Republican party. There was an ever greater display of enthusiasm than that which placed tho Republican state convention as being tho most demonstrative iind spectacular of any in the history of the party in the state. Demonstrations attended each ballot and each dem-Dnstration dem-Dnstration was made notable by rallies 3f tho delegations for their particular candidate. M he real demonstration of the convention, occurred after the third ballot when the O'Donnell forces gave their unqualified support to Mr. Hoyt In his candidacy before the No- TIMOTHY C.
