has voted fs nominee for Congress
but once since statehood, and that was
vhsn he gave his support 10 Republi-
can
He was particularly caustIc In his ref
uenee to Senator Kearns, whom he des-
irais' as the great master Of all po-
rcal lncompeients His lack OF learn
lwsnd tact are q source of humiliation
ma shame to Utah, In Mr.. Williams
