Heber J. Grant · 1926 October General Conference · 1926-10-05
Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report published by the Deseret News and hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1926sa). Running heads, page numbers, and line-break hyphenation removed. This is the printed record of the sustaining vote (a list of names and callings), not a discourse; formatted to match the paired-name-per-line layout used for the equivalent list in the April 1926 conference (1926-04-52).
No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.
Proofread against the source text.
Proofread against the official/CHL/JSP source plus scan/OCR witness; corrected session (Concluding Session, Tuesday afternoon, October 5, 1926, not Second Day Morning) and date to exact, corrected truncated title and calling_at_time, reformatted the OCR's two-column name list into readable paragraph groups (matching the sibling April 1926 sustaining-vote file's formatting), fixed OCR typos in names, removed embedded running heads/page numbers.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: authoritative source URL verified (archive.org conferencereport1926sa, printed pp. 153-155); page-by-page collation against scan/OCR witness. This is President Grant's presentation of the General Authorities and Officers of the Church for sustaining vote, delivered immediately after Sylvester Q. Cannon's remarks (1926-10-45) and a musical solo, in the Concluding Session, Tuesday afternoon, October 5, 1926. Corrected session from 'Second Day Morning Session' (wrong) to 'Concluding Session' and date from approximate 1926-10-01 to exact 1926-10-05. Corrected truncated title 'Presented the General Authorities and Officers of the' to a supplied full title. Confirmed boundaries clean: begins with 'Presented the General Authorities and Officers of the Church...' and ends at the end of the Primary Association board list, immediately before Grant's closing remarks on James E. Talmage's labors (1926-10-47). Reformatted the OCR's two-column name layout (two names per printed line, e.g. 'Rudger Clawson Joseph Fielding Smith') into paragraph groups, matching the formatting already used for the equivalent list in 1926-04-52-heber-j-grant-general-authorities-sustained-and-closing-remarks.md; fixed OCR misreadings of names (e.g. 'Rudger Clawsorr' to 'Rudger Clawson', 'Tames E". Talmage' to 'James E. Talmage', 'Sylvester O- Cannon' to 'Sylvester Q. Cannon') by cross-checking against the correct spellings used elsewhere in this same conference issue and the April 1926 sibling list; removed embedded page-number/running-head artifacts ('154 GENERAL CONFERENCE', 'PRESIDENT HEBER J. GRANT' p.155). No missing text; no wording invented, only formatting and verified name-spelling corrections against the same document's own usage.
