found laboring for the advance
ment of his county and its people.
He commands the respect of every
one through his honesty of pur-
pose and upright course, and as he
is thoroughly conversant with the
needs of the county in the way of
legislation, the conventions choice
was a wise on.
Andrew Kimball, who was Sc
lected for the other member of the
house, has only lived here about
three years but in that time he has
studied the situation and thorough

political and industrial situation

thorough and competent legislator
to represent the people of this
county. Mr.. Kimball has been a
member of the Legislature of Utah
and was also a member ofthe State
Constitutional Convention, so that

perienced man.

| for Sheriff the contest between the
three candidates was spirited one
but the unsuccessful ones, with
| their friends backing them, will
give him solid support. Mr..
Parks is thoroughly competent to
administer the difficult duties of
the Sheriff's Office and when elected
the people will not be disappoint-
