SENATOR sMooT AN HONOR TO
UTAH

The National Democratic Committee
is bending every effort to defeat the
election of Senator Reed Smoot. How.
ever his election is generally con.
ceeded, as he is a true friend of Utah
and Utah's interests and the most
powerful defender OF Utah and her
people that has ever been in Washing.
ton or that It is proposed to send.
Senator Smoot has had enacted into
law 214 bills of which he is the
author, many Of them of great benefit
to the nation. Some of those of
great worth to Utah are:
The Strawberry Valley Reclamation
Project adding millions to the wealth
Of this county.
The Smooth Enlarged Homestead
Act redeeming thousands of acres OF
Utah's lands and adding millions to
the states wealth.
The Smoot oil and coal land leasing
bill which will develop the oil and oil
shales Of the state and in a few
years produce as much revenue for
this state as is now paid in state
taxes.
The bill giving pensions to the
Indian war veterans and many other
bills of great benefit.
Senator Smoot has always been
ready to help Utah people, no matter
what their politics were who had
business with any of the government
departments.
Many men OF national greatness are
asking for Senator Shoots return.
Here are few OF them:
Utah owes II to the United States
OF America TO continue Senator Smoot
in the service Of our country
Senator w. G. Harding, Republican
candidate for President.
Senator Smooth has done more
than any other one member of this
body since | have been here to clarity |
legislative conditions and to obstruct
the enactment OF measures that would |
prove inimical to the pubic welfare"

craft. Colorado
Senator Smoot is a man OF high
respected by all his
colleagues, and his defeat would not
only be a grievous loss to his state
and his party, but to the national
government. Senator II. G. Lodge,
Massachusetts,.
There is no member of the United
States Senate who has had the prac.
tical experience in all kinds Of bust.
ness and business administration and
who is so informed with regard to
the workings and needs of that great
machine called the United States
Government as Senator Smoot. He is
the most valuable man in the country
in either the house or the senate. -
William II. Taft.
In my experience OF twenty-five
years in the Senate, have never seen
a Senator so Industrious, so energetic,
so attentive TO every branch Of the
public business as Senator Smoot."--

as from 25 to 30 is a good days work

as be did they would make more mon

A town man had just turned down
this job as not being good enough
for him Mr. Davis is something of
a farmer himself and can do few
other things also as those who know
him can testify he can make about
thirty ties in a half day and still
have time to teach his green hands
something. Mr. Davis can offer few
ambitious youngsters like Tufts a
chance to earn big pay if they are will

gy as many of them quite commonly
do at home. He now has several thou

he received two shots in his abdomen
from revolver in the hands of The
odore Nye, postmaster and banker of
Homedale near the Homedale bridge.
Several contradictory reports of the
shooting have been received, but the
one that is generally believed was told
by a stranger who was at the scene
Of the battle. He said that he was
driving his car along the highway =
short distance from the Homedale
bridge, where dance was in progress,
whom he saw car run into the rear
of another car, grazing one fender.
He said it looked as though the bump
was purposely done and that it was
this belief that drew his attention.
This witness claimed that the man in
the rear car began shooting at the oc-
cupant Of the other car and when he
realized that the shooting was in earn

srs were drawn to the shooting by the
gun reports and they claim that Trot-
