MONDAY, JUNE 11, 1904. had twice supported him, notwithstanding he jeopardized his political life by doing so, namely, Alton B. Parker. This announcement was received with cheers by the convention, and Cannons speech doubtless led to Parkers election on the first ballot as was intended. It brought home to a number of Western states the fact that Parker was as regular a Democrat as any. With the nomination of a candidate for the Democratic national convention closed its work late Saturday nitfht and adjourned sine die. The Hon. Henry G. Davis of West Virginia, received the honor of and will the nomintion for for mate make a good running Judge Parker the candidate for president. Mr. Davis is not well known to the younger generation of vice-preside- nt, vice-preside- Mr. Cannon was heartily congratulated for his successful effort. The Utah received the following from St. Louis Saturday evening, after the paper had been issued and distrib- uted: The Utah delegation are proud of Senator Cannon. His answer to Bryan nt, Americans, he not having been actively engaged in politics for many years. But he is a statesmen of ripe experience and, like Judge and conParker, a clean man and a life-lon- g In Lake Democrat. Salt sistent City the candidate is well known and highly appreciated, as is attested by the following from the Herald, whose representative interviewed Major George M. Downey, a friend of Mr. Davis, who said: I consider Henry G. Davis an exraordi-nar- y man. He is great as a business man, as a politician and as a leader of men. In my judgment, you Democrats could not have found a stronger man anywhere in the nation for the office for which he has been named. He will undoubtedly greatly strengthen your ticket, especially in West Virginia and all the nearby states. There is another thing about Mr. Davis that I think would be important in a hot campaign. That is that his record is clean. He is an honorable, upright man, and a man who wields a big influence in his community. Of Demoam he is course I a a Republican and crat, but the most friendly feeling has always existed between our families. I have visited at his home a number of times since I removed from West Virginia, and we had the pleasure of entertaining him here when he made a trip into Mexico some years ago. We were boys together in the little town of Piedmont. When the war broke out I entered the army, and after that my regqlar home was never in West Virginia and as a result I have never been very intimate with the Davis family, but our interest in each other has never died out. The Davis brothers have for many years ben one of the chief factors in the industrial There were development of West Virginia. three brothers Henry G., Thomas B. and W. O. Davis. They transacted a great business in coke, coal, lumber and other commodities. They also built the West Virginia Central railroad and afterward sold it out to the Gould system. They also transact a large banking business and have banks in a number of cities and towns of West Virginia. Henry G. Davis served for twelve years in the United States senate. He was also a membei of the interstate commerce commission for some time and later a member of the United States railway commission. He is a man who commands respect, and the fact that Senator Arthur P. Gorman selected him to manage his campaign at St. Louis is good evidence of the esteem which in he is held by those who know him best. He is a man of great wealth. For several years past Mr. Davis's summer home has been at Elkins, West Virginia, and his winter home in Washington, D. C. One of his daughters is married to United States Senator Stephen B. Elkins, the other is married into the Lee family of Old Virginia, and his only son is engaged in some branch of the business in West Virginia. Of course Salt Lake people are interested in Mr. Davis's candidacy, because of the fact three of the Davises have married, you might say, in Salt Lake. My son, George F. Downey, married a niece; her sister married Bert Ilolden, and her brother, Thomas B. Davis, Jr., married Miss Ora Harkness. vice-president- ial 1 CANNON ENDS DEBATE. To Utah fell the honor of closing the case for Judge Parker in the Democratic national convention. This information comes through a St. Louis special to the Salt Lake Herald and appears in this mornings issue of that paper. Mr. Cannon is still absent so we take the liberty of reproducing the Heralds dispatch in full and assume entire responsibili ty for doing so. The dispatch follows: At the earnest solicitation of the New York delegation Senator Cannon had consented to follow Bryan in seconding Parker. Nebraska announced her change with Wisconsin, this giving Bryan the closing argument. An arrangement was at once made with Alaska, whereby Utah changed with her and Cannon had the last word, as the territories are called after the states. Cannon answered Bryans argument that he had to stay by the six million voters who had stayed by him by saying that he was one of those who had left the Republican party to follow Bryan, and that Bryan seemed to forget one man who State Journal makes him a national leader and his influence and advice sought by all. Victory is assured. D. H. PEERY. There was great rejoicing among the Republican small fry and peanut politicians Saturday evening over the report that Judge Parker had declined the nomination for president because of the omission of a financial plank from the Democratic platform; but their rejoicing was short lived after the facts became known, namely, that Judge Parker had not made any demand whatever on the convention and had only stated his belief that the gold standard had been firmly established in the United States a fact that the most radical silver men recognized. Even Mr. Bryan himself will not deny that for the time being the financial question is not a political issue. It has been setteled, for the present, at least, be the logic of events. The industry of man in prospecting for gold and the increased quantity of that precious metal added to the world's store have supplied the volume of money needed for the transaction of business. Neither Mr. Bryan, nor any other man, is justified in attempting to inject into national politics something which is not a live issue in the present campaign. Should the time ever come, in the near or remote future, as we believe it will, when the supply of gold shall fail to meet the demand for a larger volume of money, and conditions similar to those which made the monetary question paramount in 18 and 1000 shall call for legislative action, the Democratic party will be the first to recognize such necessity and prompt to take action; but the Democratic party does not propose to cross any bridge until it comes to it, and as to impending Republican financial legislation, as suggested by Mr. Bryan, that is something in which the Democrats have no immediate concern.

There was a radical difference between the Republican convention held in Chicago and the Democratic convention held in St. Louis, and this difference was not merely in political principle and policy. Everything was cut and dried for the Republican convention, everything had been arranged for it by Roosevelt. The Democratic convention wasja deliberative, body, it picked out its own leader and declared its own will in the platform it self-governi- ng promulgated. - Slightly inaccurate, to put it mildly, is the following editorial paragraph, clipped from the Provo Enquirer: The Democrats, in their national platform, declare war on the Mormons.
