zTzrs thst GoEernor Smith elected On platform
which favored tie vets What sort Of recommend
would it BE for further pneferues TO break faith viii
his party pEztfo-nz Next Governor Smith Is Catholic
zEd while do think that should any way mill
tate against him Candidate Office il has beer
sufficiently patent 70 defeat other for that high
o1Ice Governor Smith will likely be senator from
New York later the direct result Of stand
ing squzreIy the platform upon which he elected
He may De wrong pruhibtio1 bet be right in the
rondnet Of his oiiee under The circumstances and his
znte-eleetion promises
CITIZENS Of Delta County ought to unite with
those Of GunnisDn county actively work for road
over Black Mesa at the earliest possible date The Blue
Mesa and the Somerset route are All rcft in The
middle Of bot all wrong of the balance Of
the Money Is being simply suuandered irving To
make pzsszble road Blue Mesa and all for road
that can be operated only brief portion of the wear
We insist that real energy and should be put into
securing road that will be open much longer each
season Black Mesa is the only that offers that ad
vantage syndicz1ed effort by both counties vouId
produce the result
WELL Ve may now expect 70 the armament split
with he yodes on those who differ with Gov Smith in
the matter Of whether New York shall strive to infiiet
the idiotic prohibition law its people Gov Smith was
elected on wet platform The Legislature passed re-
peaing measure refusing to longer monkey with efforts
to enforce utterly unenforcezIe law After mature
consideration their Governor has concluded that II Is his
duty TO sign the and abandon enforcement 10
the National authorities who pushed law across upon
an unwilling people Other soon follow New
forEs lead and it may bring about something like SANITY
in the matter of the regulation the sale Of intoxican
There never yet passed radical farce as the ex
isting prohibition law 1t has introduced to liquor more
men and women than INDUCED before and has Gre
ted r<r
prohibs while actually making colossal fortunes through
its violation The law repealed but it might
be more decent and enforceable, by plan of hbera
zstion.
THOSE people who like take advanced olbservs-
ons on W1at going politically find much inter
est in noting the advance regarding the Pres
idential campaign which will on next year The
outriders for the candidates skrmishine and
seeking to establish what be put over Big Business
as usual IS advancing but they are not of
those they expect to nominate. The suggested bv
the so-caed leaders be nominated They are
to draw the peoples fire Things grow steadily hot
ter and about the first of year we can probably de-
termlne which way the cat is going to iump But nb-
serving the eutenants engrossing amusement lust
now and occasionally brings new scheme to light
One thing is deadly clear. Both Democrats and Repub-
hcans worried half over the Henry Ford
ddacy even If that gentleman does any interest
They know blamed well that If he says he is ready
10 go the heid is stampede and nothing fusion of
Dens and Reps stem the tide and probably even
that 1t is very good to them worry The people
have enjoyed all the worry for the twenty years and
can look with much complacency while Big Business
sweats blood
