fault of their own, were born in other states
and countries.
He comes from humble English parents and
his early life was made up Of the privations and
experiences incident to pioneer life in the ter
ritory of Utah. He was raised on farm, but
varied its labor with that of wood-chopper,
cokc-bulner and saw-mill hand. OF the com
mon people. he was educated i'll the common
schools; being man of unusual will power and
application, he carried his education far beyond
the opportunities afforded in the schools of his
locality He became teacher and Is still a
factor in the educational work of his commun-
ity, being president of the Nlurdock academy,
one of the leading institutions of learning in
southern Utah.
Two years in Great Britain, in the center of
large manufacturing district gave Mr.. Tolton
a valuable practical insight into the affairs
and possibilities of the industrial world par
ticularly from the viewpoint of the working
people. This information was later put to use
in conducting woolen mills in his home town,
a manufacturing enterprise with which Mr..
Tolton is thoroughly familiar
He is chief owner and the business director
of one of the largest mercantile institutions
Of the southern part OF the state. His farm is
of the largest, best equipped and best
stocked with pure bred cattle in that section.
He is the pioneer banker Of his county and
president of the local bank; president
of the Beaver waterworks company: and
Il director and active force in the Beaver
Reclamation company engaged in building
reservoirs for the reclamation of large
of land in Beaver county. Although busy
man. Mr.. Iolton has found time to read law
and has been admitted to practice but has
never followed this profession. For three
terms, he served his county in the state legis-
lature with credit to himself and to the salts
faction of his constituency.
Thus it will be seen that Mr. Tolton is a pro-
gressive in practice and not merely by profes-
sion The development of the state, the bet
tel1ncnt Of his locality, the Improvement Of his
mind and the encouragement of worthy meas
urcs and enterprises have marked his active
career And while his rating with Dun &
BladStreet Is highly satisfactory, he has not
depended on public office or friendships Incl
dental to official power for his prosperity and
standing These have come as the result of his
own enterprise. public spirit and progressive
disposition which have made him equal TO any
undertaking or to amy responsibility thrust
upon him.
There is no reason TO withhold support from
Mr. 1olton because YOU don't know him, or
can't vouch for his progressvencss He has
been pretty busy man to have visiting list
and his whole record is one of progressive ideas
and principles put into practical use.
His time has been spent the ordinary tax
payer and voter spends his time-neither for
the banks the railroads. nor in drawing sal
aries from other taxpayers for looking after
the interests of corporations and political ma
chimes.
And now that the HeraId-Repubcan has
succeeded IN getting the potght turned on
Governor Spry's railroad record, what are the
voters going to do about 1t!
