The municipal convention of the organization will be held Thursday, but Mr. Hearst waa offered the nomination at a meeting some days ago. Hli acceptance natures three mayoralty tickets In tbe field thla fall. expressed his gratification at the unusually large attendance. In his opening remarka he said that the authorities of the church had been active and diligent in the performance ot their dutlea during the past aix months. He reported missionary work in good shape, with the exception that the demands for young men to preach the gospel were greater than the aupply. "Large amounts have been expended in the erection of meeting houses In wards and for stake ho'ises," said President Smith. The truztee-in-trus- t baa been called on to furnish Urge sums of money for tfia erection of churches, meeting houses and also houses of entertainment "I would like all to know that the church of Latter-da-y Sainta believes not only in houses of worship, but of instruction and nmnsemenb that the people may have places lor young people to gather In dance iM tbe enjoyment of desires of the heart In righteousness." Counselor John R. Winder and Counselor Anton H. Lund also spoke at the morning session. Apostle John Henry Smith, Rudger Clawson, Reed Smoot and Hyrnm Smith were the speakers at the afternoon session of the conference. John Henry Smith paid an eloquent tribute to the mission workers of the church. In conclusion he bore testimony that the present head of the Mormon church waa honest, able, uptight, fearless, as all other presidents of the church had been. Rodger Clawson appealed to the congregation to know If President Smith and all the others who had addressed the conference had not spoken by the spirit of God. Apostle Reed Smoot said that he knew the gospel of his church was true, and that the work of the authorities was the work of God. I say to Saints," he said, "that jyou. Later-da- y people never had any more confidence In any man or any set of men, than (they have In the presidency of the church today. The adversary la trying to stir up strife, to set people against the authorities by making unjust attacks upon them, but he'll foil In this just as sure aa the sun rises.". After a brief address by Apostle Hyrnm Smith, President Smith presented the names of the authorities and church officers to be sustained by the conference. All were sustained without opposition.

Tha president of the reorganised movement Is the son of Joseph tha prophet, and claims that the succession came rightfully to him. Elder Roberta In hia speech claimed that never had tha Mormons, as individuals, more rights, sad that tha great power centered In the president was exercised with moderation. He denied a statement made by th president of the dissenting church that the world at large had been so prejudiced against the Mormon doctrine by tha followers of Brigham Young that they were refuting to embrace the new faith. Apostle Penrose,- while making no direct reference, dwelt on the charge that there had been n hiatus or disorganization following the prophets death, and, in a speech preceding that of Elder Roberts, vigorously upheld the succession of Brigham Young. Tbe attraction of the laat day at the state fair did not thin the attendance at conference a whit, something like 5,600 persons being present at each session. Apostle George A. Smith delivered the opening address at the morning session. He rejoiced that tha Sainta were a peculiar people, but rebuked an apparent tendency to overlook forgiving those ot tbe authorities who had, perchance unknowingly, offended some member of the church. He gave the Mormons counsel that if they felt affairs were not going right in Zion it waa their duty to look Into their own hearts and see if (hey canid locate the trouble and dissatisfaction there. Frank Y. Taylor, president of the Granite stake, followed Apostle Smith and during hia remarka paid a glowing tribute to President 8mith. Patriarch John Smith, one of the moat venerable members of the church, made a brief statement, bearing his testimony to tha truth of hia religion, but explaining that the condition of hia health and voice reu-dered It Impossible for him to speak at length. W. T.

Probably the greatest erowd ever attended services In the tabernacle was present at the closing session of the conference. President Smith, speaking of the enemies of the church, said: I ask for this mercy upon my enemies, upon those who slander me and lie about me. I ask God to pity them, and to have mercy upon them! 1 writ God to pity those who are misguided! I ask God to have mercy upon those, who do thla with their eyes opra, and I ask God to pity them, because they need Gods pity and mercy more than the others! I would not harm a hair of their heads for all 1 possess in' the world! And I ask my brethren to keep their hands off ttyun. Don't touch them! Don't touch those who are paving their way to destruction! Let them go! Give them the liberty of speech they .want, and let them write their own doom! It doesnt hurt us, and If it doea them any good let them do it! This conference is n testimony, that Mormonlsm is not dead nor Bleeping, but n living entity, and la atlll doing. Let the world know - It" Another feature of the afternoon meeting was a remarkable story of a vision told by Samuel W. Richards, brother of the late Apostle Franklin D. Richards, and a member of the quorum of the seventy. Nauvoo regrets having driven the Mormons out, and would gladly welcome them back, declared German B. Ellsworth, president of tbe northern states mission, at the morning meeting of the conference. You do not hear of the Latter-da-y Sainta missionaries stirring up discord, laying traps, telling Ilea, and doing that which will bring their opponents discomfort," said Elder Baton S. Wells ot Salt Lake, In speaking of the peculiarities of the Mormons. But you find them traveling without purse or scrip, often going hungry and enduring Indignities to which they have not been accustomed. The great Saints is peculiarity of the Latter-da- y their quality of love." The Latter-da- y Saints are firmly established in Canada, in Oregon, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, California, Utah, Colorado, Arisons, New Mexico and have gone over the wall and are in the republic at Mexico, still further south, and in the states of me Union, the countries of Europe mad the islands of the sea," said A.
