told tales about the Burbidge family
of hustlers, captain" and his able
first second and third heutenants."
Captain Burbidge is a candidate in dis
trict c of The Herald's contest. His
being in the race would discourage
some men from entering. But the dis
trict has splendid array of contest
ants. showing that the territory west of
Main street and Canyon road and north
of Second South is a community of
wideawake citizens. Captain Bur-
bidge's strongest opponent at the
present time is A. ]. Lowe, jr, of So
candidate, too. and don't you forget it.

Look at the standing of candidates, and
you must agree that he spoke the truth.
There's no disputing the fact. He's a
strong second. This fact was men
TONED by the interviewer. Il am sec
ond, yes" answered the contestant,
but what l am and what I've done
aren't a silver to what I'm going to be

statement that he is just now getting
into swing indicates that his present
standing is to see change in the very
near future.
A conversation with him is a treat:
there is absolutely nothing egotistical
in his remarks. but there is that whole

admires. and few possess. Mr.. Lowe is
member of the Amalgamated Sheet
Metal Workers local No. 121, and be-
longs TO a number of fraternal organ

of any body that he holds his strength,
according to the interviewer's humble
judgment, but it is the clean-cut.

him so popular in Salt Lake, for his
