They got their gtronj chance five minutes after the i convention convened following the S noon recess and they kept it up until the last alternate had been named. The convention then divided, , the counties of Salt Lake, Utah, Tooele and Davis going to the Princess theatre to finish selecting delegates from the Second congressional district and the remaining counties of the state staying1 in the Columbia theatre to elect delegates from the First congressional district. At 10 o'clock in the morning the congressional district opened its convention, but a difference of opinion arose ss to the time at which the convention should be called.

Counties Well Represented. Practically every county was represented by delegates, although a few counties In the south having a small voto failed to participate.

Above the storm of the convention could be heard the voice of William Glasmann of Ogden, who urged a point of order and who Insisted that an amendment to an amendment on a motion such as was before the house. could not be had.

You also remember Mexico and Huerta and the flag. After Huerta and tellrefusing to recognize we suddenly did ing him to get out, recognize him by insisting that he should salute our flag. Either that demand was puerile and ridiculous and should not have been made; or It was and should have patriotic and pertinent been enforced. To this day there has been no 'salute not even a tiny little bit of one. It has been one case after another of 'marching our men up the hill, then marching down again. You remember the Philippines and Cavite' harbor and the raising of the stars and stripes by Dewey that early morn of May. You remember the twenty millions of dollars we paid Spain that we might have a stepping stone to the trade of the orient. But it is now the Democratic program to rull down the flag there at the end of four more years. Whether following the Philippines Ave shall yield Alaska and Hawaii and present Japan with a few coaling stations in California and Oregon, is yet to be seen. There Is no what is in store for a nation telling too proud to fight.' What Sutherland Has Done. "Let me turn for a moment to the place our own state occupies at this perilous time. In a most masterly address lately delivered in the United States Senate, Senator Sutherland declared the duty of the country, backed by the International law of centuries, to protect its citizens traveling anywhere on the high seas. He called attention to the fact that at no time under any circumstances had international law required the citizens of a. peaceful land to abandon their rights on those seas. As a member of the foreign relations committee, as the leading consttiutional lawyer of the Senate, his words at home and abroad are recognized as authority on this momentous subject. But while occupying a commanding position in. national and international affairs, he has not neglected one whit of home duties. A long array of measures for opening up Utah land, improving the federal post at Fort Douglas, and impounding the waters of Strawberry river for state Irrigation uses, have come from his labors at Washington. Praises) Senator Smoot. "And while our one senator has disas a Jurist, our tinguished himself other has filled an equally conspicuous place' as an authority on finance. As Alexander Hamilton in the early days of the nation, so Senator Smoot in the present, possesses an extent and precision of information, a talent for exhaustive work and an acuteness of understanding along practical lines that make him a national leader. Before the Boston City club a fortnight" ago he delivered an address upon the disintegration of business which would come to a country of unprotected industries, that revealed him to New England as a worthy successor In the field of political economy of Blaine, Harrison and McKinley. Wrhen the day of peace comes, the leadership of Smoot will be fondly recognized even by those who now love to sneer at him contemptuously as a "special exponent of business interests." "Proud should Utah be that she has contributed to the Senate statesmen of the Smoot and Sutherland caliber, and to the House of Representatives an effective worker like Joseph Howell. (Continued on Following Page.) Miller's address in full follows: "We stand today at the thresnoid 01 a momentous campaign, even as the followers of Seward and Chase and Cameron stood in the spring of 1860. As Seward and Chase and Cameron and subordinated personal ambitionsaround tTY 1 t rally sunk factional strife to "honest Abe L,incoln." so in this hour the chieftans of fraught with peril rally to a hero Republicanism will American who will restore and revivify American patriotism. Whether our knight's name shall or Hughes or be Root or Fairbanks comre to us from Roosevelt; whether he or the camp, he the forum, the bench will find a solid phalanx to march behind his colors to victory. IT. S. Looking for Leader. "In times of peace, governments may figureheads. experiment with fads and need leaders . In times of danger they , I I for action. At this moment of danger without and uncertainty within, America is looking for a real leader. It is this recognition of a crisis in national affairs that has cemented and concreted the Republican party. "But my friends, let us cherish no y. y delusions regarding our situation as a party and a nation. Empty phrases, eupnonious meaningless platforms, of promises, are for all parties things are y ,yy Our the people everywhere past. 7y planks, looking behind names, behind behind shibboleths. The men we nom1 .y.. inate this year, from President to constable, must be men whose lives square with their words, whose deeds are , ' ' ' ' ',y their warrant of authority. No .'fads : or 'figureheads for this year of grace, 1916. All the sweet sounding phrases, all the high' sounding declarations, all the solemn assurances will avail nothing to a candidate whose life record belles his platform. This is a people's year. Utah is a people's state, the Republican is a people's party. I speak a spade a spade. Replainly. calling are all together this voters publican year. " Party commanders must follow the example. Generals, .brigadiers, captains, lieutenants and corporals must quit their personal fights and save their ammunition for battle with the enemy. I speak not only of the nation, but of the state of Utah. There is roon under the old tent for all kinds and shades of Republicans; and there is v ' ji.
