If ORDER ISESTABL1SHED BY REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION Refusal to Sanction Third Term Candidate, Rebellion Against Control by Any Single Combination and Platform Declaration Decla-ration for State-wide Prohibition Makes Gathering Gather-ing a Memorable One. A review of the activity of yesterday's yester-day's memorable convention memor able because everything was tumec topsy turvy shows that a ne o; dor of things has been established l Utah. The new order is found in the re fusal of the Republican party to sanction sanc-tion any third term candidate, shown in the rejection of Governor William Spry on that ground, rebellion against the attempt of any single combination combina-tion to maintain continued control of the will of the majority of tho party, and the adoption of a platform that contains a plank for state-wide prohibition. pro-hibition. The platform is viewed as otherwise other-wise embodying those progressive principles for which it Is claimed the Republican party has always stood. In the rejection of Governor William Wil-liam Spry, the present incumbent, for Nephi L. Morris, the convention did not seek to repudiate the governor or his administration, except on prohibition. prohibi-tion. This was evidenced in the platform plat-form which carried an endorsement of the governor for his wise expenditure of public funds, In the building of the new state capitol and the maintenance of good roads, the same being referred re-ferred to in support of the argument that his two administrations have been marked by progression the program pro-gram that was defined as being in line with the making of a greater Utah.
