Show UTAH DEMOCRATS EULOGIZE WILSON Salt Lake City Democrats, as well as those from other joints in the state, are enthusiastic over the nomination of Governor Woodrow Zilson for president. presi-dent. Here are some of the expressions given upon the nomination nomi-nation of Governor Wilson: JUDGE WILLIAM H. KING-. I am delighted with tho nomination of Governor Wilson. He was my first choice, and I believe him to oo tho strongest Democrat in tho country today. He will poll moro votes than any other man tho Baltimoro convention con-vention could have named. Thoro is no doubt in my mind that with Wilson at tho head of tho ticket tho Democratic party will sweop tho country from coast to coast. Governor Gov-ernor "Wilson has a keen analytical mind, and is perhaps the best posted student of political oconomv m the country todav. Ho also is thoroughly thorough-ly imbued with tho idea of progressive progres-sive govornment in which tho peoplo shall exorcise full authority without the intorferenco of the' vested interests. inter-ests. Ho will mnko one of tho greatest great-est .presidents in the history of the nation. Tho choice of Govomor Wilson Wil-son insures, I believe, a Democratic victory in Utah this year. Last night's demonstration hero .was a fair oxamplo of tho enthusiasm his nomination has aroused in tho Btate. This, .accompanied by tho evtire lack of enthusiasm for President Tuft and the state-wide aversion of tho people to the machine politics of tho federal bunch crowd here, spells victory locally as well as nationally. JUDGE O. W. .POWERS. The man who was nominated today at the Baltimore convention is a man of and for the people; a man who will work for the people and not for those in clearing houses. Though I had somo personal preference for Champ Clark beforo tho convention, nevertheless never-theless I am confident that Governor Wilson is the best choice that could have been made. He is more uniformly uni-formly strong throughout the country coun-try than Clark or any other Democratic Demo-cratic leader, for that matter. He will poll many Republican votes, as well as a. solid Democratic vote, and his election as president of the United States is now but a matter of counting the November returns. There is no doubt but that the choico of the New Jersey governor will have an electrifying effect on Democracy De-mocracy in Utah. He was practically the unanimous choice of the Utah delegation, and tho general prospects of victory for Democracy throughout the nation will undoubtedly improvo tho chances of a victory in Utah." E. B. ORITOHLOW (Republican) . For onco in its history, Democracy has escaped tho initial blunder that so ofton encompassed its dofoat. In the nomination of Governor Woodrow Wilson -tho party has chosen the strongest man in its ranks, and from tho present outlook his election is almost certain, that is, provided tho editor of the Outlook doesn't muss things up too much. I beliovo Wood-row Wood-row Wilson 'to bo a highly capable man. His nomination will have the effect of solidifying tho Democratic party, and this taken with the con ditions in tho Ropublicun party, ought to insure a Democratic victory. JOHN F. HOWELL. I think that tho nomination of Wilson is a vindication of Bryan, and that tho convention did tho right thing in nominating Governor Wilson as tho standaro-bearer standaro-bearer of the party. J. W. STBINGFELLOW. Tho nomination nomina-tion of Woodrow Wilson is a masterstroke. master-stroke. I believe that he can carry Utah. MAJOR SAMUEL A. KING. Governor Gover-nor Wilson is ono of tho greatest and ablest Democrats that the country has ovor produced. He knows and fully appreciates tho needs of the country and the masses of the people. peo-ple. His candidacy will appeal to all classes and parties, and without doubt ho will bo triumphantly elected. THOMAS H. FITZGERALD: I consider con-sider Woodrow Wilson ono of tho great modern Democrats. Not of tho calibor of Jefferson and. Jackson in his entiroty, but under modern methods meth-ods and under existing circumstances I beliovo that ho is the logical candi-, date. Tho unwarranted attacks inado upon Speaker Champ Clark, ono of tho greatest living Domocrats by Mr. Bryan was an insult to tho Democratic Dem-ocratic convention and tho dologates in attondanco. For eighteen years Mr. Clark has been a champion of the Democratic cause, has been the instigator of harmony in tho party; has always been loyal to. the party and tho people of tho nation. 1 consider con-sider that in this convention Mr. Clark has been insulted by a man for porsonal ambitions and not for party good. JOHN HOLLY: -T think that tho nomination nomi-nation of "Wilson is ono of the beat that could havo been made. I certainly cer-tainly think that ho will bo elected. I sco no chanco for him to lose. O. H. OARLQUIST: Tho naminatjon of Wilson has made tho organization of a third party unnecessary, bocnuso anyono who is at. heart a progressive progress-ive can find in Wilson, all that this remarkable movement in American politics stands for. During his term as . governor of New Jersey ho has demonstrated that his heart is with tho peoplo of the countTy. His nomination nom-ination is the result of a nation-wide sentiment. JUDGE S. R. THURMAN: The principal princi-pal thing that tho nomination of Wilson Wil-son moans ia the rule of tho people. Whatever may have boon tho details of the fight at Baltimore, that was tho one single issue. FRANK K. NEBEKER, former national nation-al committeeman from Utah: I think that the Baltimore convention has selected the strongest possible man in the party for its presidential nominee. nom-inee. A. J. WEBER: It is a victory for Wilson, a grcter victory for Bryan, but above all it is a victory for the people of this country. The people musb rule. MATHONIHAH THOMAS: I am sat-fied. sat-fied. The convention has done the right thing in naming Wilson. I believe be-lieve that at the coming election the people of Utah will be true to thom-solvcs thom-solvcs and will register their votes for tho rights of the peoplo. BRIGHAM Hi ROBERTS: I tako it that this is to bo a campaign in which an appeal will be made to tho reuson of men. If there has been a struggle at tho Baltimore convention it has been to find out whether or not tho man nominated should havo tho dollar mark on him. The man who was nominated today, if elected, will bo answerable to tho people and . not to Wall street. M. E. WILSON, Republican: I will support Woodrow Wilson in thin campaign. I am in this fight for the people of this country and the peoplo peo-plo of Utah. I am with Woodrow Wilson body and soul in this fight in Utah. JESSE KNIGHT, of Provo: It suits me first class. I wish you would correct the statement that I, with Whitocotton, sent a telegram to Roy-lanco Roy-lanco at Baltimore. I never sent or signed such a telegram and I never saw or heard of it until I saw it in the paper this morning. The telegram, tele-gram, as Toported, is against my views of Bryan. T don't oven know what marplot means, but it sounds bad and I admire Bryan, instead of believing him to be bad. ff. W.N. WH3TEC0TT0N: . I haven't any kick coming. I was partial par-tial to Clark, but if Bryan will keep his nose out,, wo will come out all right. Talcing into consideration tho muddle that Bryan got the convention con-vention in, I think" probably that Wilson's nomination was the best that could happen. E. L. JONES: It suits me perfectly. I have been for Wilson all the time. JULIUS ANDERSON, secrotary of the Democratic precinct committee: Wilson Wil-son is my choice. I am elated. |
