ELECT MCCAIN PROSECUTING
ATTORNEY

In many OF the papers of the coun-
/ ty and upon his campaign cards
under the heading why Weldon
should be reelected prosecutor" Mr..
/ Weldon has set forth that during his
term 249 law breakers have been
convicted upon pleas of guilty and
after trial. Since Mr.. Weldon has
elected to run upon his record, an
examination and analysis of that rec
ord is entirely proper
The examination of the record of
Mr.. Weldon in the superior court
was completed on the 18th of Oc-
tOber 1920. Such record is open to
public examination and shows the
following:
Cases commenced 80
Pleas of guilty (many upon
reduced charges) .. 40
Cases commenced and dis
missed on account of in
sufficient evidence ...... So
OF the $50 cases commenced, 50
are still undisposed of, and a major
ity of these cases have been pending
for many months with no apparent
effort to bring them to trial.
OF the $50 cases commenced, the
prosecutor selected 3 for Jury trial:
and the trial thereof resulted as fol-
lows:
convictions .... =. ...8
AcqulttalS ....
In two of the jury trials, special
counsel was employed to assist the
prosecutor and his deputy.
WHEN AND HOW DOES MIR.
WELDON INTEND TO DISPOSE
OF THE SO PENDING CASES?
If he dismisses them is it not an
admission on his part that los cases
out of the $50 cases commenced by
him should not have been instituted?
IF THE PENDING CASES
SHOULD HAVE BEEN TRIED.
WHY HAVE THEY NOT BEEN
TRIED?
The statement of Mr. Weldon is
also to the effect that at the last two
jury terms convictions were secured
in every case tried This is true.
One case was tried each jury term
instead of more as the statement in
sinuates
OF the convictions obtained in JUS
tice court more than $50 were OBJ
tanned upon pleas of guilty for viola
ton of the automobile law and it is
a fact the prosecutors office APP
peared in but a small percentage of
these cases.
In the justice court of |. B. Doc
little, 127 cases were commenced
and dismissed and the county paid
the costs.
If Mr.. Weldon makes the claim
that his office is self-supporting
should he not first deduct from
fines and forfeitures collected the
costs paid by the county on acquit-
tails and dismissals? If this is done,
he can make no such claim.
The Judge of the Superior Court.
Sheriff, Clerk of Court and justices
are as much entitled to claim that
their offices are seIf-supporting on
account of the self-same fines and
/ forfeitures. Each officer has his
part in the conviction of criminals
and no officer is entitled to all the
credit

Government to Erect Appara- tus for Purpose of Commu- nicating With Airplanes in Cross Country Flight.
WILL AUGMENT CREWS
 WITH RADIO OPERATORS
Night Travel Guided by Elec- trict Light Operated
 by Wireless

SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. , (by As sociated Press) A large wireless station is to be erected here in the near future for the purpose of con- municating with and checking govern ment mail airplanes. Similar stations are to be put up at Cheyenne, Wyo., Reno. Nev., and San Francisco.
 The Salt Lake station will consist of two 100foot towers, 300 feet apart, and A.lI be built near the new munic- ipal landing field The plant will be manned by a force of 12 men. It is planned to equip each mail plane with wireless apparatus and to put an op- orator aboard. These men will keep in touch with the stations, informing them of their movements and in this way the government mail authorities will at all times be able to ascertain just where they are. This is not pos sible at present as none of the ma chimes have wireless.
 Small electric lights, operated by wireless, will guide planes at night on the transcontinental air mail route between Cheyenne, Salt Lake and San Francisco. The lights will be tuned to the wireless instruments at the tue three cities in such a manner that they will shine only when the air planes are within certain radio path about 200 feet in width. When a ma chine strays from this path the lights will go out and the pilot will be obliged to determine by the wind on which side of the path he is travel ing. An airplane's approach to it's destination will be signified by the flashing on and off of the lights. The process has proved a success in thor ough tests, and is owned exclusively by the United States government.

WOMEN BEAT MEN

The Mems Day Services at the
First Methodist Church were well at
tended, a crowd of 120 men being
present at both the morning and
evening services, but as was the case
last week on Women's Day, when
more men than women atteAed, the
women outnumbered the men on
Mems Day. If the names of the days
had been changed around, the results
would have been different.
Reverend A. J. Gearheard, the pas
tor, exceeded himself and delivered
his best sermon in honor Of the male
members Of his congregation and the
greatest male choir ever heard in the
church sang for their fellowmen.
However, results show that the ladies
won the contest with a score of 125
to 120 and within the next few weeks
the men will entertain them with a
supper on the lawn Of the parsonage.
