Boxelder J. E. Halverson. Cache X. R. Moore. Carbon R. G. Miller. Davis Henrv Kt.hl And Parley P., he also ran. The Salt Lake County Attorney wasn't in it for a minute. Neither was Dan Harrington and his aatl-apoatolie Influence resolution. ' The Smoot convention sat on both with a dull thud that could be felt and heard from Corlnne to St. George. The Smoot convention waa for Smoot, and there was nothing else to lu , Flsbburn. Llvington and other so-called so-called insurgents also felt the weight of th blow. , Harrington Voted Down. - The real feature of yesterday's Republic . cu conference waa the rejection of the Harrington resolution. It furnished the oftly fireworks and lta rejection nlaced tie Smoot -party squarely on a plAform ti church dictation in politics. The only slip la the cogs of the Smoot machine waa In. the failure to amother the Harrington resolution In committee. It waa gotten before the convention and dlacussed and the Smoot majority had to put itself on record by voting it down. What Harrington Proposed. The Harrington resolution was as follows: fol-lows: - - And it Is further reeolved that the Republican Repub-lican party of the State of Utah hereby declares de-clares and affirm that tt ia opposed to the cnion of church and etate, and that it la also unalterably opposed to any high eccleeiaat. ft any denomination whatsoever, aeeklng nd asking for political preferment and bene-t bene-t ts of el Til office, or unduly interfering with politics, while he is holding said high eccle- elastlcal or church position: and, for the future, fu-ture, and in order to promote tranquillity, perfect equality and tbe beet possible progress prog-ress of the SUte. the Republican party will see Its endeavors to enforce and maintain this principle. Giaamann Plan Fails. The committee on resolutions, headed by Proxy Glasmann of Ogden, thought the ghost had been laid when Harrington waa permitted to argue his resolution before the committee and that body of Invisibles Invisi-bles had quietly shelved it. But Harrington Harring-ton waa made of sterner stuff and got a ' hearing before the convention, through the fairness of Chairman Squires, and the Smof tltes were forced to vote y It down, pro forma. The nomination of Howell and Frick, and. the shelving of Chrlstensen, Fish-burn,- Livingston. Hulaniskl,- Morse, et al., followed in due course. The result was known beforehand, therefore the proceedings were devoid of interesting feaurea. The Final Proceedings. The permanent organization was effected effect-ed at 3:30 yesterday afternoon, the temporary tem-porary officers being continued. The. Committee on credentials reported no ' contests and the order of business was quickly outlined. Then there was a wait of more than an hour on the committee on resolutions. The resolutions as reported and finally adopted-were as follows: The Smoot Platform. We unqualifiedly indorse the policy of President Theodore Rooievelt and the action ac-tion of the last Congress in its successful legislation, the railroad rate law, the meat inspection amendment, the pore food law, the denatured alcohol law, and other beneficial bene-ficial acta. This legislation deals with the problems arising from great combinea of capital cap-ital in at practical and commonsense way. It teeegnlzea that wealth in and of itself is et as evil, but that evils are very often connected with ita administration. It seeks not to destroy the wealth itself, nor to destroy de-stroy the great enterprises which wealth has caused, but to eliminate therefrom, so far aa hnman lav can eliminate, the evil and sire to be all things to all men. And I say this, Mr. Chairman and fellow delegates, that the Republican party ia greater than any one man.- Everything else ia secondary and subordinate. Being a Mormon myself. I believe that 75 per cent of my fellow rellglonieta favor this resolution. I believe, practically, every non-Mormon non-Mormon in the 8tate favors It. A high of-flrtal of-flrtal said to me today: "Mr. Harrington, don't urge this now. Walt for two years and we will all be for It." If It la going to be helpful It ought to be urged now. If we pass this resolution now we will have little use for a third party in Utah. There Is a peculiar altuatlon bare, for a person with a high ecclesiastical position la a power beyond minor Individuals, and I say that In all klndnesa, because a great majority of my religionist are true and believe It. If we have here one high ecclesiast, whom we must look to. and have to look to others, the Republican idea of liberty and equal government in tbe world, and especially In Utah. Is lost. We ought not to look to any other source except to statesmanship, as in all other States, and we ought to get here what Is due to all equals our equality and rights. Where are you going to get them when your politics are dominated a machine f Suppose, at the head of one of those machines ma-chines there ia an apostle of the dominant church. He wants his machine to win In Millard county. He senda to some high eccleelast for a certain thing and the MUlard I county ' ecclesiaat does what is desired of him. Now we have this resolution, and tbe Democratic party Indorsee It, because. God knows, they haven't any other reason for existing. - B. H. Roberts, , with his great loquacity, lo-quacity, and eloquence, affects to say and believe that the rights of men are not Invaded. We don't want any machine. We don't want any man dominated by any ecclesiast. eccle-siast. If we adopt thla resolution, yon will And that when a high ecclesiast sends Tom Smith to see John Jones about some political poli-tical affair in some remote county he will tel blm to go and attend to hie knitting and we will attend to politics. That ia what we want in Utah. There are so many things that a man in a high ecclesiastical position can influence, and it is wrong. If this is not stopped It Is going to grow and now is tbe time to stop it. , Angus M. Cannon, George M. Cannon. Mrs. Susa Young Gatea and others spoke against the resolution, declaring that church domination in politics was a myth. The star speech of the occasion, however, was reserved for W. D. Llvlngv aton of Sanpete, in support of the Harrington Har-rington resolution. He said: Livingston's Strong Talk. Whatever we may think of the propriety of bringing this resolution to this floor whether it is here head first or foot first it is here. I think there ia no honest Republican Re-publican bnt must recognise that it i the symptom of a deep and serious political disease dis-ease in this State. It ia a part of those auxiliary organisations and machines of the Republican party. This question is by no means new. The symptom is one of the ild ills that have hampered the progress of his glorious State. It has been made the pretext of politicians to further their political polit-ical aggrandisement-. My friends, a erisis Is here. The question ques-tion is for yon to solve whether you shall or ahall not control the Republican party. The erisis today ia ripe one that you have never had before and I want to aay to you that thia great party, whether there has been a crisis, whether it has been 'within onr national boundaries or State jurisdiction, jurisdic-tion, the American people have always turned instinctively to the Republican party for its solution. Why should we shy at this question I Is it because it is too target My friends, if it is too large, then we confess the lack of true Republican leadership lea-dership in Utah. Is it because the Republican Re-publican party of Utah is satisfied with the conditional If that be true, we covet the defeat that is surely in store for us. Is it because we wish to avoid the stench of the muck raket If so, vou are unworthy fol lowers of Roosevelt. Taft and Root. What is this question t Some say that, like tbe flag of Bagdad, the fear of it is more destructive de-structive than the seonrge itself. If that be so, it is the duty of the Republican party to allay these fears, not by resolution, but I tiv action. eonservs ths rood for ths benefit of the peo-, peo-, pie, slid it thereby demonstrates anew the constructive ability of Republican states-nanship. states-nanship. Under the protective tariff "the American people have scaled the rreat heights of pros-parity. pros-parity. . Mere mills and, factories are in operation,' op-eration,' more foods are beinr manufactured, more men are being employed, higher wages are being paid for labor, more American products pro-ducts are being sold at home and abroad than ever before. Plenty and contentment fill the land from sea to sea. All this has been brought about and all this exists under and because of Republican policies, the very foundation stone of which is protection. We reaffirm onr unwavering confidence in the wisdom of this great policy of onr party. The good effects of the Dingley law are plain and undeniable; what may result from any change Cannot with certainty be foreseen ; but we declare It to be our firm conviction that more harm than good will come from any attempt at present, to revise the schednles. We reaffirm our allegiance to the princi- leaof reciprocity as taught by President IcKinley and the Hon. James 6. Blaine, and declare that reciprocal trade in the articles the like of whiclt our own people prodnee, I and with which they can supply our markets, mar-kets, is simply free trade in disguise. : We indorse the work of the Utah Congressional Con-gressional delegation, in harmony with the National administration in furthering the gen-Aral gen-Aral prosperity of the country, and we indorse in-dorse the Republican administration of the State of Utah. . We demand that the right be given by statute to permanent easement within forest reserves for public roads, irrigation ditches and canals, and reservoirs for storing water, 'the same as is now granted upon public domain, do-main, and insist upon eur Congreaaional delegation del-egation urging the enactment of ouch statute. We recognise the meritorious services rendered ren-dered by the Utah war veterans and pledre our representatives in Congress to urge the Government's recognition of such services by suitable' pensions. . We recognixe the ' hardships to certain bona fide entrvmen caused by the wholesale whole-sale withdrawal of lands containing coal, and urge the restoration of such lands to entry at the earliest possible date. We. favor the building of permanent good roads and approve of legislative action for systematic good roads constrnction. ' We indorse the policy of the Republican sartv in its reclamation of the arid lands of the Vest. Signal for Fireworks. The Introduction of th report on resolutions reso-lutions was tbe signal for the) Harring- ton fireworks which followed.- After Harry. Har-ry. Joseph bad tried to squelch the Harrington Har-rington move by proposing to refer that resolution and all others to tbe committee com-mittee on resolutions without reading, which was .rejected, Harrington got the floor and spoke earnestly for a quarter of an hour. He said In substance: What Harrington Said. In presenting this resolution I in fti-fied fti-fied that this convention bss the best interests in-terests of the Republican party in thla State at heart. Here is tbe situation and it la meet therefore that we reason together: We should consider what should go to make up the , party and Bute, Here we have our silver sod lead mines, our Iron mines, our sugar Industry, and what do we find f We find here today end this isn't any sentiment that ought not to be said but we find that our rarty is split In Salt Lake and threatened In other parts of the State. Why ts this sol-I sol-I isy it with all kindness to tbe gentlemen, who happened to be some of our officers. tha it Is their Inordinate ambition and de- - n . .. ; s . There are two factions bare. There sre Gentiles who came here and worked with the integrity of our people and developed the great industries of this State, but they cannot solve this problem alone; the Mormons Mor-mons must help them. It mast equally be solved by a return of confidence, by the Joining of hands for a common purpose, by united action for the common purpose and absolute confidence in each other. Those dignitaries of whom this resolution speaks, have aaid that it is not their desire to control con-trol either of the parties that the people shall vote their own wishes. If that be accepted ac-cepted as true there is only one solution take them at their word. Write it in the hearts of the people of our State and guard that resolution as an honest woman would guard her virtue, or an honest man would fuard his manhood. I rare not whether it s in the platform F care not whether it ia written in gold what I care for is this: that we accept those people at their word, and if any man shall ever say contrary to that I care not whether president or apostle that man is recreant to his church: that man is a falsifier; that man is to be shunned: and those are the ones that we shall avoid as American eilisens in this great Ststs of Utah. "If we shall do that, there win be a brighter day for Utah. It breaks, it comes: the misty shsdes fly, A rosy radiance looms upon the sky; The mountain tops reflected calm and clear. The plain is yet in shade, but the day is nesr." Eesolution Is Defeated. A rising vote on the Harrington resolution reso-lution was so overwhelming as to show the sentiment of those composing the convention beyond question. The subsequent proceedings, running well into the evening without adjournment adjourn-ment for' dinner, were of a formal character. charac-ter. The nominating speeches were of tbe usual convention order. Howell was named for Congress on tbe first ballot, the vote being: Howell, 335; Chrlstensen. Chrlsten-sen. 157: Fishburn, 27. Two ballots were required to settle the Supreme Judgeship contest. On the first ballot. Frick received 245: Morse. 196. and Hulaniskl. 81. On the second ballot, Frick received 274. 13 more than enough j to nominate: Morse, IKS. and Hulaniskl, 61. Tbe Formal Ballots.
