trust. tho trust reposed In them when
they approved OF the bill OF their party
organ.
AT the coming election we have tho
opportunity To show these county com
rnissioners by our vote our disapproval
of their actions. I believe that the citi-
2ens OF this county will prove to the
county commissioners that there is no
place In the service OF the county for Of
hcials so unmindful OF their public du-
ties.
The Prohibition Question.
"One of the burning issues Of this
campaign is the prohibition question
This question is Of chief concern TO the
people OF this county. Our state plat
form is clear and uneauivocsl On this
point We nave declared for absolute
state wide prohibition. We arc willing
10 submit this question to the people
OF this state and 10 the people of tho
county.
IA few days ago the Republican organ
published the full text or supreme
statement that the people Of Utah by the
laws on the statute arc fully pro-
tected and that there Is no further ne
cessity OF passing prohibitory laws, Every
dav since that time that paper hes elabo-
rated on the effect or that supreme court
opinion.
'Tn my opinion the effect OF the
preme court ruling is merely the finding
that the county commissioners have the
right 10 grant or deny a liduor license
to a qualified applicant In their discre-
lion. Prior to this ruling it was under
stood generally that the county COM
missioners must grant license to quail
fled applicants. The supreme court opin-
ion is that the county commissioners have
questioned. On the face of that propo-
sition, the Republicans are taking a great
deal of interest and are attempting to
build campaign material for their protec-
tion.
Tied to Liquor Interests.
"The Republicans however. can
scarcely hope to claim that<the people
may have prohibition. BY all of the
conduct OF the Republican leaders and It's
legislature We have the right to assume
Is set against prohibition. As far as
we read the signs, the Republican
party is In partnership with the liquor
interests OF the state. Do you suppose
under these circumstances the Repub-
lican board of commissioners of Salt
Lake would refuse application for liquor
party leaders? No. the supreme court
ruling is a dead issue II it is used by
| the Republican party.
Fl think we look with confidence to all
law abiding citizens In the state, and
within this county. TO support Democracy
| this fall IL we place men our county
| tickets who are loyal TO the cause OF
| temperance and who will support the
| state platform, / believe tpaI we Will
have no trouble in electing them, even In
Salt Lake county
the city OF Sandy upon It's growth on
| its we'll sprinlkled streets. It's splendid
| school houses and Its progressive citi-
zens. l know that We are all glad that

John T. Caine as chaplain He was unan-

prayer.
