Excerpt from The Admission of Utah: Arguments in Favor of the Admission of Utah as a State, Made Before the Committee on Territories of the United States Senate, First Session Fiftieth Congress, Saturday, February 18, 1888 The committee was called to order by the chairman (Senator Platt) at 11 o´clock a. m. Present, Messrs. Platt, Cullom, Manderson, Stewart, Butler, Payne, and Turpie. The Chairman. This is a hearing before the full committee, and as it is to be reported and printed, we will not wait for the other members of the committee who are absent, but proceed with the hearing. How much time is it desired that we shall give to the parties present who address the committee I Mr. McDonald. I think that to present the case properly on the part of the petitioners, it will require at least three hours, and perhaps longer. We desire that the two representatives appointed by the constitutional convention, who are present, should be heard, Mr. Franklin S. Richards and Mr. John T. Caine; and Mr. Jeremiah M. Wilson and myself have something to say. The Chairman. Very well; you may proceed with the arguments in such order as you choose. Argument of Franklin S. Richards. Mr. Richards said: Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Committee: On the 7th day of July, A. D. 1887, at Salt Lake City, in the Territory of Utah, a constitutional convention, composed of delegates selected by the people in the several counties of the Territory, unanimously adopted a constitution for the State of Utah, and, on the 8th day of October following, adopted a memorial to Congress, praying for the admission of the proposed State into the Union. The constitution was. submitted to the people of the Territory for ratification at the general election for members of the legislature and other officers, held on the first Monday in August, 1887, and was duly ratified by the legal voters of the Territory - 13,195 votes being cast for the constitution and 502 against it.
