achievement? Has 1t been because
Utah was his home? or has 1t been.
because he Is n man fitted to do the
work and carry the responsibility OF
these great duties. one worthy the
confidence OF the greatest men OF the
republic.
why was George Sutherland put on
the national Judiciary committee OF
the greatest republic the world has
ever known? Was IT because of his
wealth? Was 1t because he came from
Utah, or was II because In him was
found the best timber for the place?
in the lower house we have had a
man who has lifted with our sena-
torial representation and who has been.
true and efficient In his congressional
career. Utah has given honor to
these men and they have added to her
luStre.
THE perpetuity of our present con-

WHAT ONE PARTY WANTS.
"But there is some one else in the
case. a party that Is little concerned
MS to whether we have prohibition or
not. one who is suffering progressive
chagrin at our high standing among
our sister states, one who wants
turned over to It the congressional
representation with its concomitant

wants all the offices except that of
taxpayer. 1t wants us to give UP to
it our glory and our power at home
and abroad 1t wants to extend the
stockade and the saloon. 1t wants to
humiliate us at home and defame.
us abroad, and 1t Is working and
waiting for the day of our division
when 1t hopes to hold the balance of
power. seize our Inheritance, and
make us bondmen.
utah must remain Republican,.
She has existed under the Democratic
rule: she has prospered under the
Republican leadership. but she would
all but perish under the rule of that

What do we want senators for in
the halls of Congress? Is 1t to please

who Is deemed able md who has given
proofs Of being able to finance the ma ;
tion OF which we are financial part?
Do we want an average man to guard
our interests In the law making de-
partment OF the nation. or do we want
to keep that guardianship In the hands
OF man whose ability and integrity

If you think Utah Is becoming too
prominent in the nation. If you think
SHE Is getting too much. If yon arc
willing to run the risk OF creating a d.
vision In the party, by which it may
lose Its power to serve you and the
state, then vote against the Republican
ticket. But if you believe IN keeping
what we have and going on to greater
conquests and climbing to higher
planes of safety, then vote the Re-
publican ticket"
The speaker then went on to explain
what. in his view, can he expected
under the platforms of his party. rs
follows:
PARTY EXPECTATIONS.
Il. a state wide prohibition law
with the provision that municipal units
comparatively independent Tin all ter
rtory out size or cities) IN their lesls-
lative. judicial ana executive powers
snail have the privilege OF accepting
or rejecting that law.
20. We are Justned in expecting
that the legislature will continue to
support congressional delegation
that mas given our state a national
prestige wnich ~ the envy or many or
our viuer sisters, - delegation through
wnicn utan mas gnineu an almost
mons snare OF The national influence
tuLtne uisgomliture OF ner enemies and
Inc victory OF ner friends AT home and
abroad. l ~
1--WE expect the legislature to send
the Hon, George Sutherland to the
senate OF the united states to sue
coed himself.
What we are not to expect:
eve IRE not to expect that the lesis-
lature Will give us Il liquor law that
will attempt to coercc any govern
mental unit capable Of adequate self
protection and control
1--WE are not 10 expect that 1t will
throw to the winds all or part of what
| mas been achieved by decade OF toll
| Under the Republican platform. we arc
not TO expect that the people Will
| empty their municipal water wagons
| and till them with rum. 5
1--WE muy expect that their vote IN
| municipal units will be as sharply
! against the saloon as was their petit
| ton In the state unit.
| FINALLY, we are not to expect pro-
| h,bition a, the hands of the Demo-
cratic party, because it does not pos
! sess the power to give us n prohibitive
| law nor to execute one and they have
refused to trust the issue to the source
OF all political power--thc people"
