point a Democrat in his place. They
also said that should the senator be
elected President in November he
could continue to serve in the Senate
as he would not be inaugurated until
his term as Senator expired on
March

rotary of the treasury. who called. it
was understood. to discuss matters
pertaining TO publicity in connection
with the coming campaign
only matters pertaining to the cam
paign were discussed with Senator
Harding" said Mr.. Shaw, after an
hours conference with the nominee
The candidate is first business with
us. We did not discuss policies"
There was little abatement today in
the stream of cOngratulatOry messages
reaching Senator Harding's Office The
messages today included one from
Henry Lane Wilson, former ambassa-
dor to Mexico. assuring the Ohio sena-
tor of his support, and from Fred
Bruml, grand chancellor Knights of

The Wonders Of America
uTAH-"THE PROMISED. LAND"

Z IRST settled In the summer of 1S47
by Brigham Young and his little
band of Mormons. numbering less than
$50 souls. Utah is fast coming into its
own. Utah is 100000 acres larger
than all Of the New England states
combined, and there isn't much, If,
indeed, there is anything-within rea-
conceive or his heart wish for that the
state does not yield or cannot offer.
'Tis said that Utah contains enough
iron ore to rebuild most of the steel
structures in the country; sufficient
black marble TO build column from
the earth to the moon salt enough 10
supply the world for 60 years the
greatest copper mine In all the world;
enough coal to supply her population
for 60.000Eears; clay and sand enough
to make tie worlds supply of brick for
many years; 4000.000.000 feet of lum-
bef and sandstone and granite in
quantities equal TO the rebuilding OF
the majority Of the buildings In the
United States.
Gold, silver. copper. lead and zinc
to-the value of S97 ,0O0, 900 were mined
in Utah during one recent year. Good
iy quantities of agricultural products
and fruit are also produced.
Utah's climate is neither hot, cold.
dry or wet, but rather a happy medium
with touch Of salt air added for good
measure. Her fertile valleys remind
one of Italy, her pointed mountains
hold touch of Alpine beauty and
great painters say that her sunsets are
the most beautiful In the world.
