The generosity on Salt Luke's p.ut may be questioned Just a little, inasmuch inas-much as that city has a .slight advan-tage advan-tage In the matter of casting votes. The counties are called alphabetically and as Salt Lake Is far down tho line, she has tho opportunity of telling what the possiblo result may be and if desirable swing her vote to the popular pop-ular side and be In the swim. In this Instance It was plainly e ident before Salt Lake was reached that Howell would receive the nomination and instead of polling a vote of thirty thir-ty as expected, Salt Lake gave the nominee sixty-three votes. It was an exceedingly gratifying thing of course that Salt Lake saw tit to help the Cache county man toward the nomination, but it certainly was one time when the vote of that county cut very little ice. After the result of the vote was made known Howell was called for and in a short speech said: "I deeply sense the honor that this convention lias confeircd upon me, anil I deeply sense the obligation that lests upon me. I will uso my best efforts that the Republican party of Utah may have a triumph from Cache to Washington Wash-ington county, and I pledge jou that If elected I shall devote mjsolf to the best intciests of the people of this State." Tho conferring of this honor on Mr. Howell Is also an honor to Cache county and the voteis of tho county will show a just appreciation. Cache county citizens as awholc.regardlessof political affiliations are highly pleased with Mr. Howell's nomination and aie offering their congratulations. Hon. Joseph Howell, tho Republican Republi-can nominco for Representative of the State of Utah in Congress is a man who deserves tho recognition accorded him and ouo on whom tho honors will settlo gracefully. Having been born in Utah and lived his entire llfo of 40 years in tho State of Utah lie is thoroughly thor-oughly cognizant of tho prevailing conditions and needs of this Stato and if elected to Congress will ever be found working for anything and everything every-thing that will tend to advance the State's Interests. Mr. Howell's capacities capa-cities as a-worker and mixer are well known in this part of tho State and to a certain extent he is known nil overthc State. He Is what Is generally known as a self-made-man and Is a credit to the maker. In his earlier dajs when qulto a joung man his ambitions am-bitions led him to careful and hard study and this Is the foundation for his undoubted mental capacity. He completcd-tlie course of work In the Wcllsvllle school and by dint of hard work against dlfllcultles ho made his way through Jhc Stato University, Univer-sity, after which he engaged In school work for a number of years. His school teaching led to broader, riper views and gave an Insight to human character that has stood him woll-ln-hand In later jcars. As Mr. Howell grevrMf.lei'hegrcvv in popularity and was honored by the citizens of his home town with the highest olllce in their gift for t In ec consecutive teims, and that this should increase his popularity pop-ularity lather then diminish IMs the gieatcstpioof of his capability, dip-lomacy dip-lomacy and tact. Small, uniomuner-ntivc uniomuner-ntivc offices In small towns aie about the toughest proposition on earth to handle and tho most thankless. However How-ever he graduated fiom the town olllce and was promptly offered a position posi-tion in the State Legislature to represent re-present the citizens of this county and Joe took it. He grew to like It and in spite of his Democratic neighbors neigh-bors who didn't want him to have it, Joe again took his old position in the State House at Salt Lake City. This gave him a cinch and wxt whack Mr. Howell lopped off a little larger piece of Democratic scalp. Joe's taste grows with cultivation and after three terms In the lower house the worthy gentleman felt that he would rather sit in a Senator's scat than where ho was, so came out for the nomination four years ago. The Republicans of this county who thoroughly appreciated appre-ciated his character as a legislator and his energy in behalf of Cache county promptly nominated him for State Sentor and Mr. Howell repeated his usual trick hustled around a little, lit-tle, patted a few babies on the cheek, shook hands with the women, patted .sumo Democrats on the back and was elected. Now comes this latest honor, and it could not fall on any man moio deserving, de-serving, more ablo to carry the honor with credit to the state and to himself. him-self. A man who has kept the commandments com-mandments fiom his jouth up, he possesses a character woithy of emulation; emu-lation; a strong man mentally and physically he Is capable of getting into this fight to win and those who know him can never doubt that anything any-thing that could sccuio his election will be undone. His training In both houses of tho Legislature will enable him to go into tho Congressional halls on a footing w 1th the best of the new men who go to Congress at tho next session and that ho will represent Utah in the truest senso of tho word is a certainty; consequently Utah Republicans could have nominated no better man. Thff goncral proceedings of the State convention at Ogdeu last Thursday are generally w oil known but It may not bo amiss to summarize tho work and touch upon the doings gonerally. That tho convention was tho most enthusiastic and harmonious of any that was gvqc In Utah, needs no better bet-ter evidence than the tcrrlfio effort of Democratic papers to dispel that Idea and insist that everything was discord, Reforc tho convention Democrats Dem-ocrats prophcclcd that there would be a big split, that this faction and that faction couldn't be made to work In harmony in fact that it would be better for the Republican party were It not necessary to holdi a convention at this time, a'nd as a consequence our political opponents, were on hand ready to take advantage of anything that liad the appearance of disruption or dissatisfaction. They have sought to make capital out of an Imaginary tilt between Sutlwrland and Kcarns' men, but the bubble was pushed on so hard that it burs ted before it had any effect. Instead of the possible factions that may exist getting still farther apart It Is a recorded fact that the work of the Stato convention was performed with such perfect harmony that It has had a tendency to draw all Republicans together, and there Is every evidence that the party will put up tho strongest fight In Its history. his-tory. The convention was organized by tho selection of John I). Murphy, of Weber county, as tcmpoiary chairman, chair-man, with various vico-chalrmau, among whom was Jos. 0(el, of this county. Mr. Murphy was greeted with great applause and made a rousing spoech that brought forth great enthusiasm. Following his speech tho convention got down to business and appointed committees on credentials, pormnnept organic tion and Older of business, the Cache county men serving on these committees commit-tees being H. A. Pcdersen, II. Hullen, Jr., and Joseph A. Smith. After the appointment of committees com-mittees thcic was an adjournment for dinner and in order that the committees com-mittees might have amplo time to do their work the convention was not called to order again until 3:15 o'clock. At this time a permanent organization organiza-tion was effected by the selection of Hon. John E. Hooth .is permanent chairman and A. J. Hruneau as secretary. secre-tary. Judge Hooth stepped forward nmld great applause and made a happy little lit-tle speech that put everybody In a good humor and ready for work. The first thing of importance that vftmo licforc tho convention was an attempt on the part of Salt Lakers to have that county represented on the State commlttco by tlnec members; mem-bers; Utah, Weber, Cache and Sanpete San-pete counties two each and the remaining re-maining counties one each. Tills proposition was lost by a vote of 282 to 245. Twcnty-llvc of the Cache county delegation voted for it and seven against it. After the recognition recogni-tion of prominent visitors by the sending of a committee to call upon thcm.the matter of nominating a candidate can-didate for Justice of the Supiemo Couit was brought forward. The name of W. M. McCarty of Sevier County was placed before tho convention conven-tion by Clarence C. Allen who made a brief hut eloquent plea In his behalf. AV. D. Livingston of Sanpete was then iecognled and spoke in behalf of Judge Jacob Johnson of Salt Lake county. The vote resulted as follows: rou jic'caiitv.
