W-McKinnev W-McKinnev reported for the affiliation committee recommending a division 01 the offices. The report was promptly adopted by the convention. Senator Nominated. The convention s contests began with the nomination for state senator. Ma-thonlhah Ma-thonlhah Thomas placed the Rev. Elmur I. Goshen in nomination for state senator; sena-tor; C. L. Olson named Joseph F. Merrill Mer-rill ; Roger V. lowers proposed Sam Russell; Frank B. Stephens suggested C P. Overfleld. In seconding the nomination nomina-tion of Dr. Merrill. S. A. Kins declared that the Democrats could not consistently support the candidacy of Dr. Goshen and oppose that of Smoot. He said It was the duty of the Democrats to keep any sort of church influence out of politics. Replying to him. Simon Bamberger said that If It was proposed to bar a Christian clergy-1 clergy-1 man from participating in civic affairs it was high time that the Mormons were keeping the bishops and presidents of staKes out of any participation in politics. poli-tics. The senator said that the comparison compari-son of Senator Smoot and the Rev. Mr. Goshen was absurd and ridiculous. On the first ballot Dr. Goshen led with 175 votes; Professor Merrill received 133; Mr. Russell 63. and C. P. Overfleld 51. On the next ballot Dr. Merrill received 218 votes, Dr. Goshen 1744.

Martineau, Jr., In which the latter was victorious. Mr. Tobln moved that Mr. Martlneau's nomination be made unanimous. The following members of the county committee were then named : Mrs. B. T.

The selection of a candidate for county commissioner for the four-year term was the first business of the evening. John Holley, W. B. Hughes and C. F. fcHlliman were placed in nomination. Mr. Stillman made a surprisingly strong race and on the first ballot lacked only one vote of enough to secure the nomination. He received re-ceived 228 votes. Holley 134 and Hughes 96. Mr. Huyhes then withdrew and on the second bailot Mr. Stillman was nominated nomi-nated with 238 votes against Mr. Hol-ley's Hol-ley's 212.

Islaub captured the nomination for recorder on the first ballot, gettinc 233 votes against 123 for Perley A. Hill and 8S for Thomas Alston. Contest Wearisome. Tho content for attorney wns long drawn out and wearisome. Mathonlhah Thomas presented the name of Joseph W. Strifffollow, S. A. King that of J. V. liiirton. Wilson McCarthy that of H. D, Mulliner and Will G. Furroll was sponsor for K. A. Wedgwood. On the first ballot bal-lot Mr. Hurtun was given 153 votes, General Wedgwood 128 i, Mr. Mulliner 113 and Mr. St ringfellovv 65.
