KEEP THEIR RECORD IN MIND.

Whatever you do. don't forget the record.
Mr.. Bransford has declared himself the father
of the stockade. He originated the idea. He found
the men to put up the money, and the woman to man
age it, And if there is any logic in the situation it
is that he will start the stoc1ade just certainly
the people of Salt Lake elect him mayor.
Here are his words, openly proclaimed by
John s. Bransford himself in the Salt Lake Herald
of December eighth, 1908:
