By way of introducing himself to : his constituency, Mr. Snow touched ! briefly on his early life and grew ! eloquent in his plea for the coopora-I coopora-I tion of the people of Utah county in an effort to correct evils he said were now existing in governmental affairs. A Great Man Coming to less personal topics he spoke with contempt of "Manhattan "Manhat-tan Island's" idea of greatness, saying say-ing that island New York thinks that a great man is one who serves money. "That," he said, "Is not my idea of greatness. A man to be great must be great of soul, 'great of beam great in his love for hi3 fellow fel-low men. When a man lacks these qualities, draw your own conclusions conclu-sions as to whether he is great. Ttr; people can be trusted to rjaeh the right conclusion.

He spoke of the Importance of the confirmation of Utah's school land grants, saying that some adjoining ad-joining states have no school taxes as the result of wise handling of their school lands, while 53 per cent of the taxes collected in Utah are for the support of the public schools.
