Dininny porary chairman Mr H J and Frank Y Taylor for temporary secretary vMr Dininny came forward amid applause ap-plause and spoke as follows 31 r Bulimys Speech We are met here today to nominate nomin-ate a full legislative ticket and elect delegates to the state and judicial conventions con-ventions I only remains for us to use good judgment in selecting candidates candi-dates for the legislature to make their election sure I has been regarded asa as-a fact beyond dispnte that the Republicans Repub-licans will carry this county this fall the only reason for it is the fact that it has done so heretofore But this year there has entered into Democratic politics some new elements which if properly treated can in my judgment land the county in the Democratic ranks This year we have the full strength of the labor organizations in this county coun-ty these men have largely heretofore trained with the Republicans but their Insolent treatment by the last Republican Repub-lican county convention when they asked for representation on the legislative legisla-tive ticket has convinced them that all the Republicans want of them is to vote the ticket and that the wearers wear-ers of the fustian must not think to touch elbows with the wearers of the velvet These organizations are represented rep-resented on the floor of this convention conven-tion They have come to us the only parts that represents the whole people peo-ple and whose aim is the good of the whole people and they will find their true friends here We cordially welcome wel-come them and I belive this convention conven-tion will see that their claims to recognition rec-ognition are treated with respect The Women Vote Another factor that is a rose to us and a thorn to the enemy is the woman vote A vast majority of the women will vote with us Again all Democrats will rote the Democratic ticket this fall All these things give me confidence in declaring my belief that we can carry this falls election in this county We are to be congratulated that we are Democrats and as such members of the oldest party in this country and the greatest and best that ever was in this or any other country Our party was born with the constitution and can only die with the constitution and civil liberty Throughout all the time since is organization our party has been the upholder of the constitution and the rights ofall men I has at all times been the mainstay and al tmes manstay many times the safeguard of the rights and liberties guaranteed by the constitution and the active protector of the rights of all men irrespective of social or political po-litical standing I has always claimed that if the nation has any wards they should not be the rich but those whose industry and labor has made this country great That the men who earn their living by daily toil shall have the same rights as those who have become wealthy by that toil I was this glorious party of ours that made this country a haven of refuge to the oppressed of other lands and made it possible for them to find here liberty equality and justice and a home and country where the foot of the tyrant shall never find lodgment so long as Democracy can lift its voice and the power of Democracy be exerted ex-erted to protect a free people The Democratic party ha always combat ted trusts and all other forms of al fors consolidated con-solidated capital as contrary to the teachings of the constitution and en dangering the liberty of the people and tending to grind the face of the poor and build up the rich Our party has always stood for self government and at the very first opportunity gave statehood to Utah while for years and years and on six different occasions the Republican party refused this eo pte the right to govern themselves I Help Free Silver A great majority of our party has I for years striven in congress to give this country free silver and restore I to us the money of our fathers and i the money of the constitution but on each and every occasion they have been defeat by the goldbug Republicans cans and a few traitorous Democrats socalled Now what has Republicanism done for this country That party was organized or-ganized to free the slaves of the south and was called the party Of freedom if i ever was It has now become the party of slavery greater than the south ever had for it seeks now to enslave both white and black to the rich men of the country I is a party of trusts and corporations corpora-tions whose grinding of the poor has I made an army of tramps Whoever heard of a trust or the combiaation of I corporations until Republicanism became be-came the master of legislation Whoever heard of a tramp or of I an army of men out of work until Republicanism put into operation its Ideas of tariff Whoever heard of want destitu tion hunger and starvation all over this land until Republicanism became rampant Whoever heard of a panic or widespread wide-spread financial ruin until Republican ism began to put in practice its mode of financiering Who ever thought of demonetizing silver ana in so doing bringing to almost al-most every home in this land the gaunt wolf of hunger until that in famous scheme was originated in the brain of that greatest of all Republicans cans who is also a second Benedict Arnold John Sherman The Republican can party would ruin this fair land if it could build on its ruins an aris tocracy of wealth That party as taught by its founder Alexander Ham ilton is in favor of a strong government govern-ment which in plain language means a government by the favored few and I the utter slavery of the unfavored many But the Republicans try as they may can never destroy this country of ours for the Democratic party the party of the constitution and civil liberty lib-erty the party of the people stands between them and their lust and in unmistakable tones says to these plunderers plun-derers Stop Appointment of Committee The goad points in this address received re-ceived applause At its close the I chairman asked the further pleasure of the convention George E Blair moved the appointment of a commit tee on credentials to consist of nine I members Judge Dey moved for u committee on permanent organization to consist of three from the county and five from the city H V Meloy I moved for a committep on apportionment apportion-ment of delegates to the state and judicial ju-dicial conventions among the various precincts consisting of five from the city and three from the county ± inr S Harris moved for a committee on resolutions to consist of five from the city and three from the county In all this the delegates from the outside had taken no hand At inc end of the series of motions however and after they had all been carried W C A Smoot jr of Sugar House claimed recognition i Mr Chairman he saidv in the dryest possible tones I mtve that a sergeantatarms be elected from the i county and three assistants be elected from the city I This caused a shout of laughter and I the motion went through with a rush II Then Letcher jumped to his fee and I claimed recognition Mr Chairman he said iJ behalf be-half of the entire city delegation I nominate Mr Smoot for the position i with power to appoint his assistants I This raised another good natured laugh and the motion was carried I i Diiiminy Itaites n Storm I JJntil that stUb o Chairman Dininny nt but he I had a very good impression did not know the names of delegates I and he had the onerous duty of selecting se-lecting four committees At length he said the best way out was for the delegations dele-gations to select names and present them to the chair for his guidance To enable them to do this a recess was taken for fifteen minutes and all the delegations caucussed In the meantime without regard to the action being taken by the cau acton cusses Mr Dininny had made up his Use from the city and was only awaiting await-ing the selection of names from the county He was handed a number ot I lists when he called to order He was I lsts no better off however as he did not know which names to suggest and everything was in a mixed up state everthing Moyle and a number of others endeavored to straighten him out by suggesting calling the roll and several other expedients but Dininny stood as if paralyzed not knowing what to do At length another recess was taken and the chairman retired and fixed back and up his list When he came read it lst one of the most unusual scenes ever enacted in a Democratic convention was on the boards I was speedily seen that the caucus action speediY sen of the city precincts had not been followed fol-lowed and that names not suggested were on the list while names suggested suggest-ed for certain committees were on others John N Pike of the Third arose and asked the chairman why it was that he had asked for suggestions and has disregarded them He was promptly told that was the chairmans prompty business and was promptly and peremptorily per-emptorily ordered to take his seat He persisted however in demanding the reason for such an almost un heardof action Again he was ordered order-ed to take his seat and did so Judge Toners Angry Judge Powers arose with anger showing in his face and voice Mr Chairman he said emphati 1 cally I arise to a question of per caly sonal privilege r would like to know how it happens that the chairman of a Democratic convention asks caucuses cau-cuses to select names and then disregards disre-gards that action This time the chair was not peremptory per-emptory Mr Dininny explained that he had merely asked for suggestions not he pleased and used them or as E L Sloan of the Third said he had not been present at his caucus and his name had been put on the credentials creden-tials committee without his knowledge knowl-edge He asked for a change A country delegate said that O Y Miller was not present and asked tor the substitution of another name I dont know anything about that said the chair His name was handed hand-ed to me by some one Ben Lloyd of the Third said that his name had been put on the list without his knowledge With due respect re-spect for the chair but more for the withdrawn precinct caucus he asked that i be TIC Committees The list will stand as made said the chair The following therefore I were the committees On Credentials George E Blair S E Allen
