Show Republicans are United Inter-Mountain Uvpuhllcan, The Republican state convention did not substantiate the assertion that thero is apathy In tho ranks of tho party. There ,was plenty of enthusiasm, enthu-siasm, and while tho delegates were divided on one" or two questions, tho division did not extend to tho break-Ing break-Ing point. Because Soandso's candidate candi-date was not nominated, ho did not go away from the convention with the feeling that ho would bolt the ticket. Recauso Whatshlsnamo's resolution was not endorsed ho did not leavo the convention with a resolve to work against his party. All of t'io delegates were united upon every broad principle princi-ple of the Republican party; every one was Imbued with the desire to see harmony, har-mony, to work for harmony, as tho only means to Republican success at the polls. There will be harmony, thero 'Will Lo success, and thero will bo a Republican triumph at the polls as glorious as Republican victories have been in tho past. : The Republican party has nothing to fear from the Amerlkearns invasion In tho state. In some localities the "reform" leaders will concentrato their elTorts to elect their candidates, but In the state at large, thero Is a feeling of general safety that tho Republican Re-publican party will win. The Democrats Demo-crats will not nominate any candidates, candi-dates, either for congress or tho Supremo bench, who will carry as much weight with tho large mass of voters as the two Republican nominees. Tho renomlnatlon of Joseph Howell for congress Is looked upon not only as an indorsement of his record In con gress but a ratification of tho general policy of Theodore Roosovelt.for whom Utah Republicans stand Hrst,last and all the tlmo. The nomlnationof Judge Frlck for tho Supremo bench will be generally regarded as a ten-strike, and whllo tho Republicans could havo made no mistake In the selection of Judge Morse, all complications were set aside in tho nomlnationof Judge Frlck. Ooo of the strongest arguments argu-ments against Judgo Morse was that he Is now presiding over one branch of tho Thlnl Judicial district court, and that if ho were nominated to tho Supremo bcnch.ho would undoubtedly bo appointed by Govenor Cutler to till tho vacancy caused by tho retirement retire-ment on October 1 of Judgo Rartch. This would necessitate the tilling of the vacanacy on tho district bench, and would bring about complications. There Is a great deal of Important work pending In tho District court and Judgo Morse's rotlrement wonld probably affect It In one way or another. anoth-er. Judgo Frlck being a private cltl-J cltl-J zen, equally as learned and as experi r enced as Judge Morse, versqd In tho laws and with a high standing among his profession and In his state, could not help reaping the bcnellt of this complication In Judgo Morse's case. The convention demonstrated at least one thing, and that Is this: Parley Par-ley P. Chrlstcnscn showed a great deal more strength than he was given credit for possessing. lie isyoung,has hosts of friends over tho state and if he comes back for the nomination two years hencc,he will not be counted out until the last ballot has oecn called, lie is ambitious, a good oillclal and a sagacious politician. His heart Is so big that It took Job Lyon ten minutes to describe It In his second speech before be-fore the convention. Mr. Fishburn was handicapped by his lack of ac-(liialntance ac-(liialntance over the state. |
