The name of Mr. Wallace was pre-,i- .. seated by John Henry Evans, who made i, a brief, spontaneous talk, closing with ths suggestion that Mr. Wallace, In view-. the contest between King and Arm- strong, was the typieal "compromise" r.1 candidate.

"We shall now proceed to nominate the next senator from Utah," Mr. Welling began, and almost Instantly there was a demonstration that convinced veteran convention attendants that all that was was to ballot and total the , , necessary result.

As soon . f , , The pace set by Chairman Muir was maintained throughout the remainder of tha convention. Allen T. Banford presented the name of Judge E. E. Corfman for the supreme court, then moved that his nomination be by acclamation. Such action was taken with speed. Before the convention could reach ths nomination of a candidate for state perintendent of public instruction, Sen- -, ator King had been located and taken to the atage. He spoke only briefly, say.

His nomination was assured when Leo J. Mjlr, chairman of the convention, v ho had been mentioned .as a possible candidate, declined to enter the race. The convention adjourned after accepting tno resignations of Stats Chairman H. I Mulliner and State Sec-- 1 clary Raul Ray, and tendering these officers a vote of thanks. New state committee officers were left In the hands of the executive oommitlee of the state ('ommittee, which also was authorized to fill any vacancies In the state organisation. The rooster.

The two congressional conventions of the Democratic party yesterday, which ; Immediately followed adjournment of the j stale convention, presented a contrast In the matter of dispatch. Hardly had the I chairman of - tl stele eonveTittrmlald down hs gavel when Robert Hinckley, chairman of the First congressional dis. trict, colled that district convention to t order. Stuart f. Dobbs officiated as secretary. Mr. Dobbs placed Milton H, Well-ln- g in nomination, then moved that It wbs made by acclamation. H. N. Hayes (seconded the nomination and motion, and in five minutes the convention had adjourned. The district congressional com mlttee was authorized to filLany vacan- ; cies. ) -- -- Wallace Leads. The vote on the first ballot was: Robertson 14, Wallace 11, Maw IS. Tanner 13. Soutbwlck SO. "Thurman SO, Van Cott 14. At the conclusion of this ballot Mr. Southwlck authorised the withdrawal of hie name In favor of Mr. Wallace. Almost word was received from simultaneously' Mr. Wallace to the effect that he did not feel he should enter the race against men who had for several weeks been making campaigns for the nomination. Notwithstanding, tha convention, on the second ballot, gave the nomination to Mr. Wallace, the vote being s follows: Wallace Robertson 97. Maw 20. Tanner 2, 194, Van Cott 1, Thurman . A motion to make the nomination unanimous failed because of one or two objections At adjournment the congress sionaicomrnlttee was authorised to fill all vacancies. Immediately following the convention Mr. Wallace waited on the- Democratic etate committee and Informed the members that under no circumstances could he accept the nomination. The natter was discussed and a decision was reached to the effect that the etate committee was not In a position to act and that the matter should be referred- o the congressional committee of the Second district. Mr. Wallace announced last night that ha 'would inform the congressional committee of his attitude Immediately, so that the necessary action mar be taken to fill the vacancy o the ticket. W. F. Olson, chairman of tha commit-te- e on permanent organization and order of business, reported at 2 80 oclock when the session reconvened. This report, besides providing that the temporary organization should be made permanent, also In fixing the expected order of business provided for ths nomination for superintendent of public Instruction for two years to fill an unexpired term, and added: "This' nominee to be a Democrat of good atanding." This provision was welcomed with applause when read, thus affording the first opportunity of getting the temper of the convention on whst had until then been somewhat a moot point. Other provisions of the report were that nominating speeches should not exceed fifteen minutes and seconding speeches three minutes. It was further stipulated that "tha voting by all counties outside of Salt Lake county to be announced by the chairman of the delegation, Salt Lake city vote to ba announced by precincts as follows: I, 2. 3, 4 and 5. Precincts outside Balt Lake City to announce their votes separately." After the first ballot, on which ths United States senator was chosen. It was arranged that the eleven precincts outside the cltv should announce their vote as a unit, thus avoiding what had proved to be & most vexatious delay to the convention in tabulating tha result In this oounty. The committee report wae amended on motion of Delegate John G. M. Barnes of ICaysvllle, stipulating the order in which eorpmlttee report should be received, and was then adopted unanimously. Immediately afterward, however, It was found that the committee on credentials, which should have reported next, was not ready and, on motion of James W. Funk of Cache. It was arranged that tha report of the committee on platform and reaohiBwns .'Should-baTrcon after the report of the commute on credential had been received. Accordingly, Ray Van Cott of th committee on platform read tha report of that committee. sd; .bw-airte- d Tribute to Wilson. The mention of the name of Wood-roWilson brought about another standwhile the delegates ing demonstration, found the reference made to the "pity accorded the helpless" Republican administration laughable. The tariff plank was applauded, as was that covering the league of natlona. The reference to tha Policies of tha schools and to Juvenile delinquency passed without adulbls comment. The convention applauded the proposal to abolish New berry Ism, and, less enthusiastically, the paragraph dealing with the problem of marketing. Mr. Van Cott moved the adoption of the report, but Aquila Nebeker ashed that the tariff plan be reread. When thi had been done by Secretary Stuart P. Dobbs, Mr. Nebeker moved to amend by Inserting a' provision that "no section of the country shall be discriminated against." Delegate O, Mlkkelson of Sevier raised a point of order to the effect that this was already In the platform, and Mr. Nebeker was assured by the chair that this waa the case. Tha report was about to be adopted when the terms of Mr. Funk's motion were recalled, and the committee an credentials was invited to report. Chairman O. I Huntsman was by this time ready. It carried the provision that each county should vote the full strength of Its delegstlon, whether In person or No restrictions were placed by proxy. on the residence of the proxy, and the result was, as It had been pointed out in committee, that some delegates who were left at home by the Salt loke county voters of their home precincts, were In the convention with proxies from outside counties There was a threat that this question would be raised again, when K. A. King Interposed on the floor of the convention In behalf of an alternate from Salt Lake county, whoee vote waa not taken. However, neither at that time nor when the committee report was before the house was any objection actually railed. w Membership 649. and National te Offices. Senator King began early tha publio career which has carried him from city offices to tha United States senate. Born at Fillmore, June 3, 1461, he gained his education at the Brigham Young university, the University of Utah and the Uni- versity of Michigan, where he was graduated In 1SS7. Beginning the practice of law In Fillmore, Senator Klng(soon moved to Provo and there entered Into the active lists of the Democratic ..party campaigns. Among hla earliest' offices were those of city attorney of Provo and county attor ney of Utah county. In 1994 President Cleveland appointed Mr, King a an associate judge of the state. The senator a legislative expert enca comprises service In both houses of the state legislature and both branches of the national congress.

His statement continues: The Democratic party and the Democratic national committee reeocnlze the absolute equality ofwomen with men In political aeains. They recognise the right of women to ah equal participation in the party organization and the conduct of campaigns, and as evidence of this the Democratic national committee Is made up equally of men and women, and thla policy Is extended to the minor organizations of the party where and a hen possible. We therefore suggest that this convention record its approval of the following modifications of our present plan of organisation: In the state committee: That there be a chairman anil an associate chairman of the state committee, one of whom shall be a woman. That, a nearly as may be practicable, one-haof the state of the member committee, who are appointed by the state chairman, with the approval of the chairmen of the county committees (acting as members of the state committee), shall be women. The associate chairmen of the county committee shall not be members of the state committee.

"That, as nearly as may be practicable, ef the members of the county committees who are appointed by the county chairman, with the approval of the chairmen of the precinct committees (acting as members of the county committees), shall ba women."

"Perhaps the. greatest work of this magician of finance ta in connection with the war finance corporation. During the war It had filled a great need.- The war ended, large sums of money were In the treasury of this Corporation which the administration was willing should be turned Into the financial arteries of our nation. Eugene Meyer, the managing director of the war finance corporation, was sent west over the country from city to city and from state to etate Inviting the bankers to make use of these funds, but the trouble was that these banka had indorsed to the limit paper which hail been negotiated to the federal reserve banks. They could Indorse no moro paper. In his swing around tha circuit of the west Mr. Meyer stopped at Salt Lake City and met the bankers of Salt Lke and t)gden at a dinner at the Alta club.
