not square with practices. The past
four years of Republican control In
state and nation mark an era Of pro
gress surprising any equal period IN
American history. They have been
years alike of material prosperity
and moral awakening. Never has the
country been confronted with prob

have such problems been handled
with more skill or courage. Presi-

with Democratic tariff. While Insist.

partisan investigation, the Republican
party has also insisted upon a system
of railroad regulation which would
not build up the seaboards at the ex.
pense Of the interior. Every mer.
chant, factory and consumer of Utah
enjoys the benefit Of reduced rates
endowed with broad powers by Re.
publican Congress.

into power as the friend of the Cd.
