Show Thursday, September n. PASS TWO speaker Christensen Chosen By Democrats For Justice Vote in support of George Christen- sen of Price, judge in the Seventh judicial district, ns the partys candidate for justice of the supreme court, was so emphatic at the democratic state convention that the nomination was made by acclamation before the votes of the delegations were counted, according to Sundays Salt Lake Tribune. Judge D. W. Moffat of 8alt Lake City, defeated candidate, assured the victor of his wholehearted support The platform adopted by the convention in the Hippodrome theater, differed from the republican platform on the regular party issues, of course. Its plank in regard to the proposed conmstntional amendments affecting tax reforms says about the same thing as the republican platform did. Whereas, the republicans . rejected any reference to the wet and the dry situation, the democratic platform made a declaration on the floor. There had been plenty of battling in committee. But on the floor everything was harmonious with one exception. Issants Description. C. A. Robertson of Grand county voiced resentment which several of the Supporters of Judge Christensen professed to feel against their candidate being referred to as s back-patticandidate. But the heavy support given in the vote a few momenta later apparently mollified all wounded sensibilities, and peace and harmony prevailed as the convention adjourned to make way for the two congressional conventions. The first thrill of the afternoon came with the nomination of the partys candidate for justice of the supreme eourt, the candidate elected next November serving for a ten-yeterm. 0. K. Clays nominating speech was something of, a classic. He claimed that residents of the eow eounties get to know their neighbors pretty well and he told of some incidents of his elose acquaintanceship with Judge Christensen. ' Men and women have learned to love him,1 asserted Clay. He talks with the men who work in the field and in the mine and he does what he can to bring joy into their lives. He has been elec tod five times in the Seventh judicial district, though it is normally from five hundred to two thousand republican. .. . , ng ar a1 candidates ability to gather votes; and instanced especially his record in the last nee for supreme eourt, when Senator Beed Smoot was on the opposing ticket The nominator mentioned the movement wjiieh had been set under way the evening ' before to draft Judge Christensen as candidate for congress in the Tint Utah district He thanked those behind the movement for the compliment to his candidate, but asserted that Judge Christensen would not accept the nomination, nor the office if he was elected. The judge had mapped out his life with, the thought in mind that his final goal would be service in the state supreme court. He is not a victim of circumstan.. ces, said Clay. ' He makes his own circumstances. Ray Ruminates Moffat W, W. Ray of Salt lake City followed Clay and paid high compliment to the letters nominating speech. But, he argued: You cannot select men for the supreme court because they have pleasing, personalities or political appti-tud-e. That community is fortunate in which strong men aspire to and accept office: and that community is weak, in which weak men aspire in political preferement For the post of justice of the suhe contended, there preme .eourt, is need for strong, intelligent, industrious ..and courageous men. Such a man is D. W. Moffat of Salt Lake City. Ray said statistics as to were not always reliable,., and ' that Judge Christensens record showed he had polled ten thousand less votes for supreme court four years ago than bad any other candidate for that in the last ten years. .. ' We are not. here to choose a can didate, hq asserted. .We are.hfcre to choose a judge.! He followed with it short sketch of his candidates life,' snd urged the d selection of a man. Clarence A. Robertson of,Mb, resented the statement of a previous vote-getti- ng fi, two-fiste- that George Christensen is a politician. City Judge George B. Preston of Cache county, on the other hand, was an admirer of Judge Moffats qualities for judge. Bnt among toe seconding speeches Christensens forces appeared to have the majority. 8. M. Thurman of Salt Lake City was Not but when oing to take a minute, e got through J. G. M.' Barnes of Kaysville moved that the seconding speeches be held within three minutes. This was amended to two, and Barnes was willing to make it one. Stuart P. Dobbs, 0. W, Ewing, C. N. Lund, F. W. Keller, Samuel A. King and others ell climbed in the bandwagon. But the delegates were getting impatient. They wanted, to vote. There waa not much doubt about the result. Fourteen of the twenty-fou- r eounties represented in toe convention went solid for Christensen. Rich, Jndge Moffats birthplace, alone went solid for the Salt Lake City judge, though some of the precincts ur Belt Lake City, when he lives, followed suit. for Salt Lake City went 195 Christensen to 63 for Moffat; the county outside the city went 53 for Moffat and 33 for Christensen. Box Elder, Cache and Davis split about two to one for Christensen, but when the roll eall got along toward the end Utah went 77 to 5 for Christensen and Weber 62 to 7, as compared with Wasatch, whieh split only 6 to 4. The result in Salt Lake county Christensen the majority. The Sve result was never announced, bnt a count, made from unofficial tally votes for Christensen to shows 610 176 for Moffat Some of the wards in Salt Lake City and perhaps some of those in the eounty did not record their foil vote, though they were entitled to do so under the credentials committee report. Before, toe vote was announced, Jndge Moffat himself moved to make it unanimous. Honesty and friendship are big things in life, he said, and Judge Christensens friends are also his.! I trust he has no enemies, he added. We have now the task only of going to the polls. Jndge Christensen is my ' friend. He shall have my undivided support in the campaign. Bay and C9ay were appointed to escort the successful candidate to the platform. In the meantime the committee on platform had concluded its business and was ready to report H. L. Malliner of Salt Lake City, chairman, did so, and the convention greeted some' of the sections,' especially those referring to silver, Senator1 King and Governor Deni, with applause. There was no debate on adoption of, toe platform.' , j Judge Christensen thanked the agates in glowing terms. He bespoke for himself tEe support of the democratic men and women and of many He promised to fine republicans. try. to conduct the office to which I feel assured I shall be elected in such a way that the delegates would never regret their action.

The tariff he regards as a dead issue. The election will be on candidates, and he felt sure that the candidates whoa the democrats of Utah name will succeed in Utah, whieh he regarded es normally a democratic state. Jndge Christensen expressed his appreciation to Jndge Moffat for his motion: and expressed his admiration of his late opponent as a friend and a judge- - He quoted a republican saving that the commissioners and the. judges chosen by the democrats in Salt Lake assure the sneeess. of that pirty in the election. Tax Issna Fought, tax issna was much more bit-fought, and effort was made by ioi who wanted the party to coma out in support of the tax amendments to get a roll eall vote. This was foiled bnt the committee, ten to nine, by conntics, turned down the motion of Dsn B. Shields of Salt lake Cite that reference to the amendments be entirely omitted from the platform. J. W. Jensen of Weber urged the adoption of the plan which had been prepared by the drafting committee, This would have followed out the de-si- n expressed in Governor Darns letter and placed the party a reeord in favor of the amendments.
