' 27, was devoted to Senator Cannon the welcome of Utah. and wife, and Representative Allen and wife, and others were on the platfcrm. The Senator had just arrived in the city, and the Jormal recognition of the third star, which gave particular lustre to the Con-- " vention, had been. postjoned until lns ar' : ...... rival. After .Miss Anthony's greeting, Rev. Anna Shay tendered the welcome of the Association. She said in part: The, triumph of Utah is our triumph. We too, should be congratulated. Every star added to the flag that means all a Hag can mean to any human being in protection or rights, and is a guarantee of liberty, means the e'evation of every human being the round world over. It means that we are beginning to learn that "One is.our Father, and all we are brethren." With the incoming of Utah with freedom for every one of its citizens, not onhMItah.. but the United States and wherever there breathes a human being, every soul is benefited. This third star is a prophecy that the stars shall come out on our banner until our blue field will le a banner of glory. We expected this of Utah; Their men " hand; A of cerulean hue r En writ.in letters like to burning fire, With "REVKLATIO!,, title most divine.

She takes her rightful place by brother man. Ehtfrapped the senses of a slumb'ring world. Her star is risen, and will brighter grow, In that deep hour, with all its solemn gloom, And go not out forever. Let it be!"
