Transcription

I feel confident that [he] would have received the nomination, at the very sound of his name. The convention would have went wild with enthusiasm, and he would have been elected by an overwhelming majority; for you know that Mr. Chambers is a gentleman of great ability, and he is the owner of a large farm at Mill Creek. He is also a good Mormon, he having joined the Mormon Church some thirty years ago, and you know, all the Mormon people would have voted for him, for he is held in the highest esteem by all classes of his fellow-citizens. And I feel if I had only been successful in sending Mr. Chambers to the Legislature, that he would have been instrumental in having a great many laws passed for the especial benefit of our race here in Utah.
