Show DAILY UTAH STATE JOURNAL OGDEN, UTAH. FRANK J. CANNON, EDITOR. DEMOCRACYS OPPORTUNITY. The most important convention in the recent history of the Democratic party met in St. Louis today, to nominate candidates for of the United president and States and to adopt a platform for the nominees to stand on. Ve will not say now that the ticket which will be selected by the convention vice-preside- nt will be endorsed by the voters next November; but this much may be said, that if the right men be selected and a real Democratic platform adopted, the Democratic party may go before the country and appeal to the voters with reasonable assurance that success will perch upon the Democratic banner. At this writing indications point to the selection of Judge Alton B. Parker of New York, the eminent jurist, as the standard-bearof Democracy in the ensuing national contest. His ability and party fealty are not questioned; hisintegrityis well established; his personal and private character is unassailed and unassailable; his public political record is that of a loyal and consistent Democrat. With Judge Parker as its candidate, the Democratic party will not need to make any apologies; for we assume that the platform will be one that he can consistently endorse and which will be acceptable not only to the business inter-et- s but to the masses of his fellow countrymen. Assembled at St. Louis today are men representing every faction in the Democratic party the ultra radical and the conservative elements; but Judge Parker seems to have the largest following, more votes than the combined opposition to him, as he has always had since his own state delegation was The efforts of chosen and pledged to him. the opposition to New Yorks favorite son to secure enough delegates to the national convention to make his nomination impossible under the two-thirrule, at this time appear been have to unavailing; so we say that Judge Parker will in all human probability be the Democratic presidential candidate fit to oppose the Republican candier ds em-minen- tly date. The proceedings of the convention give promise of being intensely interesting, but every indication points to the ultimate getting together and the harmonizing of all the warring elements. With this accomplished; with the party thoroughly united, the Democrats will put up a fight that will carryconsternation to their opponents and may wrest the govern ment from the hands of the party of Theodore Roosevelt. trust-controll- ed PLANK. ANTI-POLYGA- Interesting reading is that furnished the Salt Lake Herald by a special dispatch from St. Louis, wired to that paper last night. The efforts of Chairman Cannon, National Committeeman Pcery and all the members of the Utah delegation had been directed in keeping out of the Democratic national platform any reference to polygamy and polygamous cohabitation, but they appear to have failed, although they seem to have been successful in having the radical resolution proposed by Senator Dubois greatly modified. Unless the programme shall be changed, it is probable that one plank of the platform will read as follows: We pledge the national Democratic party to the enactment of such legislation as may be necessary to punish and suppress polygamy and unlawful cohabitation within the United States and all territoay subject to their jurisdiction. We demand the seperation of church and state in all political affairs. The resolution prepared by Senator Dubois and which the Utah delegates are al leged to have succeeded in convincing the committee on resolutions should not go into the platform, follows: , s Recent investigations before the commit tee on privileges and elections of the United States senate having shown the vital connec tion between church and state, with the church in complete control, which obtains in a large part of our country under Mormon domination, also the humiliation of womanhood and the destruction of the American ideal of home in connection the same. We, therefore, pledge the Democratic party to the advocacy of such an amendment to the constitution of the United States as will authorize congress to pass such national legislation as may be necessary to punish and sup w-it- h UTAH STATE JOURNAL.

S, press polygamy and unlawful cohabitation within the United States and all territory subject to its jurisdiction We demand the separation of church and state in political affairs, and that those guilty of upholding polygamy or unlawful cohabitation be deprived of their election franchise. The Herald's dispatch states that if the Utah delegation finally fail in their efforts to eliminate the whole matter from discussion, and if the committee on resolutions reports the amended resolution to the conven tion, they will not fight it, fearing that Ji& cussion may result in still more radical action by the convention. And thus the. matter stands at present. 1 In the course of an interview granted the Nevada State Journal by Senator Newlands, that gentleman said concerning Judge Alton B.

I do not think that he is required to say anything except that he supported the candidate in the last two elections. A candidate should not make a platform for his party; be should accept the platform tendered him by the party, and it will be time enough for Mr. Parker to speak when the nomination and platform are presented to him. He must then either accept or reject the platform and if he accepts it there is no doubt he will live up to it. If bis character is to be judged by the character of the men who support him, it is as fair to attribute to him the qualities of Teller and Williams, as it would be to ascribe to him the qualities of Hill, Cleveland or Belmont. The very fact that prominent men of both sides of the contentious of 18 and 1900 have confidence in him, indicates that he will succeed in uniting the party upon the issues of the day however much it may have been divided upon the issues of 18 and 1900. It is claimed that the longevity standard the South has been raised by the use of cottonseed oil instead of hog lard. A guest of a hotel in Louisville who was interviewed Any by a Courier Journal reporter, said: physician will tell you that cottonseed oil is more healthful than animal fat, and in the South especially its use has gained ground rapidly. The greatest problem in connection with the manufacture of cottonseed oil is its deodorization. That problem has been solved at last, and now a perfectly ordorless oil can be made from cottonseed. Take the waste of the South in tons that used to come from the destruction of cottonseed, and add that volume to its wealth at the rate of $21 a ton, and you will see that the cottonseed forms a material factor in the prosperity of the South. Large numbers of operatives are given employment by the mills, the agricultural communities are made prosperous by selling, instead of wasting their cottonseed, and the health of the country is better, because the people take into their constitutions a more healthful food. in The f ...

A Western politician is authority for the following story: Mark Hanna once gave a banquet in Ohio to fifty farmers. The dessert was to be twenty-fiv- e luscious watermelons. The day before the dinner Mr. Hanna had the melons plugged and poured a pint of champagne into each melon, then he placed them on ice. After the dinner each farmer got half a melon. They began tasting them, winked at each other and looked wise, and before the affair was over every farmer was seen slipping the seed into his vest pocket. that the price of leather baa 57 cents Sheets ,9-- 4 Heavy Quality, 60o BedSpreads $1.25 $1.50 $2.00 25 gradi grade grads , grads, .53c.
