Since Utah county has been dry
Tho county has had much trouble over
Tho oblind pigs" but never were these
dives so fragrant as they have been
during the past two years of Demo-
cratic rule.
Lot us refer to facts, as shown by
,bo county clerks records, they show
when each whiskey club was organi-
zod and each and all of them were
oroanized under Democratic rule, as
follows; Timpanoogas club at Provo
rebruary "a, 1913; Timpanoogas CLUB
No at Provo. June 10, 1913; Edo
roda club at Provo, August ., 1873
Lcffler club at Payson, June 20 1873
Vcbo club at Payson, September H.
1919. Eureka club at Payson, Noyem-
her IL. 1913; Granite club at Ameri-
can Fork July 10, 1913; Tuscarora
olub at Spanish Fork. April %, 1913;
and the Blue Rock club at Lehi, Sep
tombcr 1G. 1918 So you see they
were all organized under Democratic
rule. and were all permitted to -four
ish under Democratic rule for many
months. and some Of them for al
most a year before any attempt was
made by the county authorities to sup
nress them: they allowed them to get
armlv rooted and then In order to
make political capital for some OF
the county candidates on the Demo
cratic ticket. they started to suppress
these clubs that had grown up under
their administration and fostering
care, and now these same people who
permittod them to continue in bust
ness have the affrontry - charge
heir existence to Republican ad-
mlnlstraton, when they know that
not single whiskey club existed In
Utah county under Republican rule.
II little becomes the county attorney,
district attorney, and sheriff to seek
political prcferment from the people
BY such shameful and wilful misrep-
rescntation of the plain facts.
After all the important thing Is the
character behind the candidates. You
can depend OH James II. Gardner In
Keeping up a high standard of county
affairs. You can depend on John II.

in Scotland in 1870, and came to Utah
in his early years. He attended the
public schools in the southern part
OF the state. and later entered and
vas graduated from the normal
school OF the State University. After
getting his degree he taught In the
public schools for five years.
Then he became associated with the
late lamented A. c, Nelson and there
after was the great educators close
friend and helpmate until an I'M
timely death claimed the superinten-
dent. For ten years he walked by
the side OF Utahs famous teacher and

has fully met all expectations He
has carried the heavy work along

London, July 4.-Kirg Georges APP
pearance under a sun umbrella at the
Newmarket races this week has given
such an impetus to this fashion, which
has been steadily increasing of late
years, that umbrella makers predict
the probability of its continued use
hereafter in hot weather in England
and are delighted at the prospect
opened up by its present popularity.
These umbrellas have double covers,
the inside of dark blue or green silk.
Already large numbers OF them have
sold FOR IS apiece. Britishers were
only waiting for the King to set the
stamp of his approval upon the fash
ion. Then the rush began TO get
under cover.
The regatta at Henley stood out as
the most prominent feature OF the
week. The races at Newmarket con-
stituted social event of importance,
and there has been much entertaining
on a large scale in London, including
dinners, lurchecns and dances.
The week. however, has not been
without disappointment. The assassl-
nation of the Arckduke FIsnc!s Fer6i-
nand caused the King TO postpone the
final state bail, fixed for Monday last,
and the Austro-Hungarian Ambassa-
dor. of course. postponed the dinners
he had arranged for this week and next.
The French Ambassador, Paul Cam
bon. too, postponed a dinner he had IN
tended 70 give on Thursday.
The King and Queen will 20 20 Scot
land on Tuesday next, and the visit
will be attended with much splendor,
causing a notable migration of society
10 North Britain. including the Ouch
ess ~ Montrose, who goes to Buchanan
Castle, near Glasgow, TO reJoin the
duke, who is in charge OF the arrange
ments> for the royal visit, and their
son, the Marquis of Graham. Others
who will cross the Tweed are the
Duchess of Portland and the Earl and
Countess of Kenmare.
Those leaving London for other
places this week include the Marquis
Of Tayistock, who will spend a few
weeks at Woburn Abbey; the Earl and
Countess of Stradbroke. who have gone
to Baden Baden, and Lady Katharine
Vane, whose residence is at Thorn
field.
The Duke and Duchess of Bedford
have come from Woburn Abbey to
London, where they will remain for
the next few weeks. Lady Montgomery
is again in town, as are the Grand
Duke Alexander and the Grand Duchess
Xenia of Russia, Princess Alice Of
