DALEY FOR ASSESSOR.

IRON COUNTY wants the best man
in the county for assessor. The DEM
ocrats have him In Maeser Daley, the
man who, next to his father, knows
more about the lands and properties
of the county than any other. He is
a bright young man and well liked by
everyone, and will no doubt receive
the votes Of Republicans and Demo
Gratis wherever he is known. He Is
also nominated for county surveyor.
The Democrats believe it Is not wise
to nominate for Office as the Republic
ans have done, man who knows moth
ing of surveying. II the Republican
nominee is elected, Maeser Daley will
have to be hired by the county to do
this work Why not elect him and

HUGHES BAIT.

Why is Hughes so strong on woman
suffrage just before election? Is Il
not a sudden change? As governor
Of New York, he vetoed bill for equal
rights for women He and Wilson
were both in Washington when their
respective home states were voting on
equal suffrage amendments. Wilson
went to New Jersey and cast his bal
lot for women's suffrage; Hughes,
though urged, refused to go to New
York to vote on the question. Which
man has the interest Of women sim
cerely at heart-the man who makes
big promises which he has no hope of
fulfilling; or the man who actually
does all in his power for them? VIII
son recognizes the fact that suf-
frage is state question. Hughes
promises to make it national, thinking
that women are 80 hopelessly stupid
that they do not know it takes the con-
sent Of two-thirds of Congress and the
ratification of y of the states before
such measure can become law. The
federal amendment is the wrong way,
the long way to obtain woman's suf-
frage. The right way and quickest
way is by grant of the separate states
which comprise the Union. Hughes
cleverness will affect only the igno-
rant; no others will bite.

KING FOR SENATOR.


Judge w. II. King is the most bril-
liant diplomat and the most eloquent
orator that has ever defended Utah
from the calumnies of her enemies.
In his congressional speeches he has,
time and again, put Utah in a right
light before the world and enlisted the
sympathy of the government to the
extent of securing large grants to our
Agricultural College. During the
three terms he served in Congress, he
made very notable investigation of
conditions in Cuba, which resulted In
a more humane government for those
poor neglected people. As district
judge his career has been brilliantly
successful and unimpeachable No man
has better record as the servant Of
the people,; no man has a wider or
broader experience for senatorial du-
ties than Judge King. He knows the
needs of Utah; his sympathies are
with the people, not with the moneyed
classes; and he has the ability and the
influence to get what Utah wants.

W. Decker polled single Republican
vote from Parowan. From his past
record, we know that Mr.. Decker is a
friend Of the people. If there is any
man in the county who would not
work for moneyed interests it would
be he. He has served the county
faithfully and well as an educator, he
is working consistently for the up
building of our natural resources, and
is himself son of toll, with keen
appreciation of the problems that con-
front the majority of the residents of
this county. He knows the needs of
Parowan and vicinity as well as those

you consider that the function of
representative in the state legislature
is to represent the people, and not
himself or the interests of few, it is
well to look into the qualifications Of
a man and see If his past conduct JUS

IF THE politicians and jingoists
who are bowling so loudly for inter-
vention in Mexico were the ones who
had to do the active work of inter-
vening, we would say, "Let us go into
Mexico, by all means" But no; they
would stay comfortably at home while
the boys of our country would have to
go to spill their blood, to suffer the
tortures of an unfriendly climate, to
be exiled from home for years, per-
haps, to pay the fearful cost of an
enterprise which in the end these same
politicians and jingoists would con-
denim just as loudly because it had
been undertaken.

MIR HUGHES, in a speech made at

WV does this mean? That Mr.

for the peal of the child labor law,
which frass the children of America
from the alavery of sweatshops and
factories; the federal reserve act,

PROHIBITION IN DANGER.

When the delegates returned from
the Republican convention one Of the
most prominent Of them said, eve
were hoping until the last moment
that some one other than Nephi l..
Morris would step forward to elimi-
nate Spry." Does that look as If
Morris had the undivided support of
the Republican party? Citizens, it is
matter of history that the political
Beast, represented by the moneyed in
terests of the state, and most partic-
ularly by the brewery and saloon ele-
ment, got Governor Spry in it's clutch
es and betrayed the state of Utah.
Do you know the breweries and sa-
looms have united to support Morris !?
We are not saying Morris will be con-
trolled by them, but such a condition
happened once, and is it anything but
natural that people should draw back
in fear when threatened with a rere-
tition Of our humilitating experience?
No one denies that Morris is being
supported by the saloon and brewery
element. The question is--will he be
besmirched? Morris is an admirable
man, but the very fact that such an
element is now getting behind him
with their money and their influence
shows that they have strong hopes
thtat they can use him to their pur-
pose. And does not the same fact
show that they know it is useless to
try to make tool of Bamberger.
Iron County record. [volume] (Cedar City, Utah) 1893-1982, 1916-11-03

The fact of Mr.. Bamberger's wealth
which is being used by his opponents
as an argument against him is, in
fact, one of the best arguments in his
favor. 1t relieves him of the neces-
sity of making living, thus giving
him all Of his time to devote to the
duties of the Office. Moreover, it sets
him beyond the temptation Of bribery,
as the liquor interests show that they
are well aware of by fighting his cleo
ton.

Some Achievements of
Wilson Administration
Many Wise and Beneficent Laws
Have Been Enacted.

The. Democratic party. with Pres
ident Wilson at the head, comes before
the people with promises fulfilled,
and deeds accomplished Some of the
splendid achievements of the admin
istration may be mentioned, as fol
lows:
The Underwood Tariff Law.
| The tariff question has for q long
time been the big issue between the
two great parties. Much time Of each
congress has been consumed in raising
and lowering the tariff according tc
the idea of the party in power. Will
son thought the tariff to be business
in which the welfare of the masses is
concerned, and not plaything to be
handled by politicians.
Therefore, the recent Congress
passed law providing for non.
partisan expert tariff commission
which viii make an impartial study of
every detail and they will furnish ac-
curate information to Congress on all
questions of tariff And by this the
tariff question will be removed from
politics.
The Income Tax.
The Democratic party revised the
tariff downward, tightening the taxes
of the people least able to pay. 1t
enacted the income tax, placing the
greater part of taxation on those most
able to pay.
In 1916 the government collected
in incomes and corporations taxes
S125,916,316. 1t should be noted that
60 per cent of the individual tax was
paid by less than 5000 gentlemen en-
jeying incomes in excess of $4,000
per year. Over "A per cent Of the en-
tire individual tax was paid by resi-
dents Of New York.
The Federal Reserve Act.
BY this currency reform we never
need fear money panic such as we
knew in 1907 in the Roosevelt admin
istration, where no one could draw
their own savings from a bank. The
banking currency is in the hands of
the government and Wall Street has
no power to create panic.
The Rural Credits Act.
This act prohibits the banks from
charging more than per cent. on any
mortgage. This money may be bor-
rowed for twenty, thirty or forty
years. No one will deny that this
way Of securing cheap money will be
the salvation of the small farmer.
Child Labor Law.
This law frees the child from the
over work in the mills and factories,
as it is unlawful to ship products from
one state to another from the mills or |
factories Of any kind where children
under fourteen years of age are en-
ployed.

On his return from his tour - ~,

On his return from his tour Of the
South, Mr.. Bamberger said recently
in Salt Lake, "If I am elected govern
or shall use my influence to have
the bulk of the federal and state APP
preparation for good roads expended
in the country districts. Here in the
North we can get from place to place
on any one of three railroads paral-
leling each other. But out In the
country where the wagon road is the
only highway for transportation, it Is
imperative that that road be made the
best possible"

If you would support Wilson's pol
icies, vote for King and yelling.

at has been one big thing after an
other with Wilson. He has risen to
every occasion that called for wisdom
and courage. l have never known so
many dangerous questions brought up
for the decision Of any one president.
He has risen to every occasion that
called for courage and wisdom. He
has now had four years of experience,
and think he has earned faith and
trust / do not think 1t logical or
sensible thing to change to an mex
perienced and untried man."-Thos.

Sutherland's home is not in Utah, but

Furthermore, that he does not own

only taxes he pays the state is on a
handful of dusty lawbooks?

we ought to support the present ad-
ministration in keeping us out. II we
had lingo In the White House this
country would now be at war with
Germany"

For supporting the American policy
of neutrality, Lincoln was called a
coward, while for standing on the
same ground Alexander Hamilton was
toned almost to death, Jefferson was
called spineless paltroon, and even
Washington stigmatized by by every
villifying epithet the opposition party
could lay tongue to. Well, the ways
of political opponents have not al
tered.

instinctively to the spots where there
is waste of state funds.
In Mr., Bamberger we see man in
whom unquestioned integrity is COM

has now retired from business that he

service Of humanity. Let us place
him in the high office for which he
is so eminently fitted, and results will
