HERBERT HOOVER
Local Attorney Holds There Are
No Party Issues. and Hoover
Is Logical Man.

No one at the present time with the
most documentary knowledge of ma
tional affairs can truly call himself
either Republican or a Democrat
and support his faith by a substan-
tail reason. There are no issues be-
tween the two parties at this time.
We may get lot of satisfaction out
Of discussing what the Democrats or
the Republicans did or did not do but
we will at this time find scant salts
faction in discussing what they pro-
pose to do. The Democrats, of course
would support league of nations and
the majority of the Republican posi-
bilities are shaking in their shoes for
fear a majority Of the voters think
they will not support such a league.
There are no other questions which
either of the parties have discussed
recently.
AT the present time the whole mat
ter SINNERS down to a question of
candidates. McAdoo, Palmer and
Hitchcock on the one hand and Low
den, Wood and Johnson on the other
with Hoover between the two groups.
McAdoo is from the South with
some experience in New York and a
little in Washington, but so far as
his training goes, he can not have the
sympathy for Utah industries that
we want president to have. Palmer
Is IN the same category as McAdoo
so Tar as we are concerned Hitch
cock would be better, since he comes
from Nebraska, western state, but
some OF US are not quite sure that
he is big enough for the job.
Lowden's system is most too badly
saturated with Packing House fumes
TO be OF any use to the farmers and
stockmen Of Utah. Wood is a better
man for US than Lowden, but his
training has all been along the lines
we are all trying to get away from.
we nave already spent too much GOOD
money paying bills to the steel
trusts while our roads remain impas-
SABLE and our streams run to waste.
Johnson, while light headed in some
respects, is, L believe, the best man
Tor the Utah people so far discussed.
lie Is western man in the first
place; knows our needs. has sympathv
with US and believe would do ali he
could to better western Conditions
Had he taken reasonable stand On
the League. of Nations question. we
couldn't have hoped for a much better
candidate. ''
The other man is Hoover. No other
man in the field more fairly repre-.
sents the opinions of the best class
OF American citizens than does Hoo
YER He is not put forth by the Mex
lean Central Railroad Company, the
Tampico Oil interests, the Railroads
or the Packing houses. All of the
work he has ever done Is of the non
partizan type. He believes we should
not lose all the benefits of the war
by pulling ourselves into our shell
and resting smugly under the false
notion that it is to our best interest
to let Europe go to h while we
build more battle ships. Every think
ing person knows that Europe is our
market and we need their goods, but
how can we trade with countries that
have no stable governments, hence
no credit There is no other man on
earth who knows as much about world
affairs and who has the ability he
has for steering the United States
right in handling these matters. I
don't believe there is another candi-
date who would be more fearless in
handling domestic questions. The two
domestic questions which the people
of Utah are most interested in are
those of marketing our products and
the reclamation of our farm lands.
Hoover is the best man in the bunch
for working out a marketing scheme
and except for johnson is our best
chance at getting through our irriga-
