spoke of the governor' wondorful
lecoid (luring tho eight years ho hus
been In olllce, concluding: "Ho has
put tho pennant of the state higher
than nny other man and ho Btands
higher In the stato than any other
man." Chairman Wells last sentenco
was drowned In a gale of applause.
W. T. Pyper was chosen secretary
or the meeting nnd there wero somo
brief speeches, supplementing and en
larging upon Chairman Wells' trlbuto
lo Governor Spry, of which subse
quent mention will bo made. Then
James Ingebrotsen proposed a reso
lution. "As I understand It," Bald Mr. In
gcbrctsen, 'wo or? all for Spry, and
wo thcrcforo should find out If tho
governor will run." Ho thereupon
presented tho following resolution,
which wns adopted unanimously and
without dobato:
"Hesclved, That It bo tho senso of

members rose nnd started out.
"Tho governor Is at n banquet,"
sonveono observed.
"That's all right," retorted Mr. In
gcbrctsen, "we'll bust up tho banquet
and bring him back with us."
The meeting cheered tho committee
on Its mission nnd then took n recess
of fifteen minutes. Within half nn
hour the commltteo reappeared, tri
umphantly escorting his excellency,
tho governor of Utah. Gov. Spry's
appearance was tho signal for anoth
er demonstration.
Tho commltteo escorted the gover
nor In from tho rear of tho hotel ball
room whore tho meeting was hold and
as ho advanced down tho alslo to tho
chairman's tables his friends sprang
from their seats and grasped his
hand. They pumpod tho governor's
hands and It took lilm Quito somo
tlmo to make tho dlstanco to tho

Wells greeted him.
"Your excellency," said Mr. Wells,
"this meeting has been callod by your
friends. This body of men will stand

with a deft wave of tho hand that tho
situation was up to tho governor.
Tho latter bowed his acknowledge

nor raised a mildly protesting hand.
"I hardly know how to express my
self nftor n testimonial of this kind,"
snld'tho goernor. Thcro was a Httlo
liiUklncss In his Voice. ' '
' "I thaltk you from tho bottom ot
my heart,"1 he stated simply. "There
Ib nothing better In this Hfo than tho
confidence of '6no's friends. I feel I
lmvo your confidence, your slncoro
nnd honest confidence and again 1
thank you from tho bottom of my
soul.
" see men hero from nil wnlks ot

ued tho governor, "and I am flattered
Hint tho purposo of this meeting his
brought them here. This tondor con
vinces mo that am In tho hands of
my friends. You must pnrdon the
lieMtancy of my speech.
"Eight years ago I entered tho gov
ernor's ofTlco feeling that things waro
not all that thoy might be. I thought
of our stato with its great resources
nml our great peoplo with their dlf
relent convictions. It occurred to mo
that there was need of a policy that
would tend to put aside tho bicker
ings of the past nnd bring tho people
together. I snld that I would devolo
my time nnd what talents I posses
lo such a policy.
"Tho fnct that nil you gentlemen
hero representing tho different
creeds nnd parties. Is evidence that
J to some extent nt lenst I have suc
ceeded. If I have contributed In some
small way to bring tho peoplo of this
slnto together, then I have not work
ed In vnln. Therefore a testimonial
llko this grips tho heart. I feel It
"I havo tried to do my luty and
Enrvo tho peoplo well. I havo madn
somo mistakes, thero Is no question
about that, but my henrt has been In
my work. There have been times ot
trying conditions. I havo nttemot
cd to do my duty an I have seen It;
to llvo up to tho oath of my oftlco
and to play as fairly with ono side
as with nnother.
"I havo mado somo enemies. I do
not enro for a mnn who didn't make
scmo enemies, nut It has been very
largely differences of opinion as to
how tho affairs of tho stato should be
handled nnd who should handlo them
tho ono who took tho oath of office
or thoso on tho outsldo who would
mnko or break. I havo felt that It
wns the duty of tho ono who took tho
oatli of office to discharge tho duty
and obligations of tho offlco.
Will Make the Race
"I ncccpt your Invitation ,nnd T will
mako this rrfco in spite of tho fact
against mo, forces more or less pow
erful. Thoy will create more or losi
mischief, but regardless of the ef
fect of them, temporarily, I feel that
if you want mo to servo I will. I
novor wont back on my friends In
my life. I will stay with you and go
right straight down tho line with
ou.

Yielding to tho persistent Importu
nities of his Republican friends, No
phi L. Morris, In a letter written at
Tucson, Arizona, consents to the uso
of his name as a candidate for gov
ernor beforo tho Republican state
convention to be held In Ogden early
In August. In his letter, Mr. Morris
jaas:
"I havo certainly been sufficiently
Importuned by Republicans irom an
quarters of tho state to warrant the
announcement of my candidacy. I am
deeply grateful for the kindly feeling
which my friends are manifesting to
ward mo and I feel that, In Justice
In them, I cannot longer withhold my
consent.
Goodwin's Weekly of April 8, hal
the following to say of Nephl L. Mor
ris: Nephl Lowell Morris native born
and bred, personifies tho highest
typo of Utah citizenship. Ho believes
in Utah; lie Is truo to her traditions
and ho has devoted his life work to
tho development of her resources and
the uplift of her people. Ho Is essen
tially a man of many parts an or
ganizer of Industry, n student ot
statecraft, a champion of public mor
als, an advocate ot the highest and
best In our modern civilization; and
ho practices what ho preaches. By
virtue of his high personal honor, his
integrity, his Intense public spirited
ness, and his demotion to duty as ho
finds things to do, ho is respected and
loved by all who know him.
Mr. Morris was born In Salt Lake
City in 1870. HI3 father, Kllas Mor
rib, and his mother, Mary Lois Walk
er, both of British birth, wero Utah
pioneers In 180S. During his hoy
hood ho attonded tho public schools
ol tho day and In vacation tlmo as
sisted his father In his business en
terprises. While still a boy ho mado
bricks, tended masons, and usod tho
trowel ns an apprentice brick layer.
Ho also learned tho miller's trade and
was for soyeral years associated In
tho oporntion of a flour mill. By the
tlmo ho attnlnod young manhood, ho
had not only mastered sovoral trades
hut had also pursued his studies at
the B. Y. Academy at Provo, the Salt
Lako Stako Academy, and tho Uni
versity of Utah.
In 1891, Mr. Morris was called on
a mission with fifty other young men
and for soveral months ho travoled
In northern Utah and southorit Idaho
engaging In tho church work which,
afterwards became known as tho Re
naissance of Mutual Improvement
work. On December 2, ho departed
for a threo years' mission to Europe.
Tho first year he labored in the city
of Manchester. Thon he moved to
Llvorpool and was called upon to pre
side over tho London conference,
which position ho held foe tho re
mainder, ot tho tlmo spent abroad,
r Upon his roturn homo In' 1895 ho
waB associated with, the superintend
oncy ot tho Y. M. M. I. A. of the
K&mbm n't 1WWMM Unit M"W" ,w 'Ul numii
Suit Lako stake which then embrac
ed tho entire county. The following
car ho was named a member of tho
general board of the Y. M. M. I. A.
In which capacity ho labored for a
number of years, traveling through
out tho various stakes organizing tho
work, and contributing to tho Im
provement Era, tho official iiubllca
tlon of the association., In 1898 ho
Yll I'Ulll'U IU M1U UlBUUJJilU Ul UIU
Fifteenth Ecclesiastical ward, over
which his father beforo him had pro
sided for many years. In 1901 he was
elected to tho presidency of the Salt
Lako stako, ono ot tho largest organ
izations of Its kind in the Mormon
church. As an exponent of tho faith
Mr. Morris has few equals and his
volunteer services havo been as vari
ed In number and character ns his
official duties.
In business affairs Mr. Morris baa
alwnys been n strong advocate for
homo Industries, and has oxponded
considerable of his time and means
In tholr development. In 1898 his fn
thcr died and tho heavy responsibil
ity of conducting tho affair of the
Ellas Morris Si Sons Company was
shifted to his shoulders. Tlio enn
'cern was more of a liability thin an
nsset at the time, and he set to work
to put on a sound footing . Ho suc
ceeded In his efforts . The company Is
now on a substantial basis and Is
about to mark Its fiftieth milestone.
Mr. Morris hns porhaps devoted
nloro attention to tho development of
tho concreto Industry than any oth
er person In tho stato, and has suc
ceeded In building up n business of
nntlonal reputation. The Utah Con
creto Pipe Company, of which ho Is
the foundor, principal owner nnd di
recting genius, Is recognized as ono
of tho mo3t substantial of tho homo
Industries and Is, liberally patronized
In this and other states. Just re
cently, through the personal enter
prise of Mr. Morris, this company has
extended Its field Into Soufh Ameri
ca nnd has succeeded In placing a
heavy order for Us products In that
territory. Theso achievements, all
duo to the tireless offorts of Its man
ager, havo placed tho rompany with
tho foremost of Its kind in tho United
States.
Besides his other business enter
prises, Mr. Morris U heavily intsr
ester In the Doseret Building Soci
ety. Ho was ono of the original In
corporators and has been Its presl
dantcfor the past ten years! This as
sociation, founded on tho mutual plan
has mado a splendid record and Its
assets havo grown to approximately
ono 'million dollars,
Notwithstanding the extent ot li's
tectarlan work and his business en
terprises, Mr. Morris devotes more
tlmo perhaps. totho serious study of
platepraft and' tno exposition of pub
lic Issues' thun'any churchman or
huBlnoss captain In the state. Ho
was a prominent Republican member
of tho second state legislature, h
has welt defined views on all matter
affecting tho general velfnre of the
state, and stands out as tho fehrlew
champion of1 tho cause of the common
people. No private citizen n utan
Ftands higher, wields n greater in
fluence in public affairs, or commands
us largo a personal following.
In 1912 as the Progressive candl
dato for gcrternor, Mr. Morris recelv
cd tho votes of upwards of twenty.
flvo thousand citizens who disregard.
'U party affiliations to endorse his
candidacy. He made an active cam
paign, but reiterated again and again
that his fight was lodged, not against A
the Republican party as a party, but r
against the system of boastsm by
which that party was ruled, and Its
policies controlled. With marked con
sistency he demanded that the pri
vate citizen, the rank and rile of all
parties, bo given representation In
the party councils nnd in the tick
et. Ho led tho fight also against the
practice of. farming out tho states
funds to favored banks without re
compense to tho state.
Mr. Slorrlo lost tho fight for Hie
governorship, but' today tho state Is
iccolvlng Interest on the deposit ot
Its funds, and tho great mass of tho
body politic havo taken up his cry for
representative rulo In tho state and
for tho overthrow of the political
bosses.
Mary Anderson.
When Mary Anderson was at the
height of her popularity a well Know n
critic wild of her, "If that girl ever
fulls la love she will be the most glori
ous actress of our time."
When Mary Anderson did fnll In love
she left tho stuge to the unfeigned le
gret of thousands of playgoers ou both
bides of the Atlantic.
France In Hindustan.
Surprisingly few peoplo remember
that Franco owns llvo little tracts scat

They arc Chnudcrnngur, near Calcutta;
Pondlcherry, Knrlknl and Ynnaon, on

ot Madras, and Mahe, on tho Malabar
coast, almost duo west of rondlchcrry.
Tho total area of the. flvo Is nbout 213
square miles, but the population num

the total volume of trndo Is worth
something like $7,000,000, only $l,Wi
