Show LOOKS LIKE SOMEBODY IS US the coolidge dawes calavan of ten automobiles on a campaign trip from president Coolid birthplace in vermont to seattle and which was originally scheduled to pass through richfield and halt here over night from tuesday to wednesday did not come and our wele greatly disappointed that they nere ere left out of the itinerary that had been changed from the eastern to the western route through utah the change in the itinerary was nas announced in the salt lake tribune friday reasons for the chango change were not mot given upon inquiry at the republican headquarters in salt lake city the answer was given that orders to go brough millard county instead of through sanpete and severe counties had been given from washington the question arises in our minds who is responsible tor for the change the inquiry in salt lake city revealed tho the fact that orders to change had been given in washington washington being headquarters of the american automobile association which is considered authority on routing automobilists over the most feasible highways we dont think that ve guess amiss in assuming that the A A A as that association is commonly called advised taking the western route we all know that the utah automobile association is the representative and informant of the A A A in utah and we know furthermore ther more that the famous mr rishel is the traffic manager and big stick in the utah automobile association cia tion and still furthermore we all know how bow mr rishel thinks of us and how well he likes us and of his vindictiveness an example was cited just recently in them the first editorial of last weeks issue of the reaper when the original itinerary over the aster eastern our route was announced it was stated that elias S woodruff executive secretary of the auto club of utah had assisted in outlining the utah itinerary of the caravan and again we know that mr rishel sees in mr woodruff a strong competitor in tourist matters and considers him an usurper of his rig Ris hells hels self erected self appointed supremacy in such matters mr woodruff happened to be on a campaign P tour in duchesne county when the itinerary was changed Is it not plausible and probable that mr rishel taking advantage advant aga of mr woodruffs absence from salt lake city gave a tip to the A A A to have the itinerary changed we certainly find it probable and plausible and are sure that a majority of 0 sanpete and sevier people are of exactly the tha same opinion t c still another question arises Is it good policy for the caravan which avowedly is on a campaign tour tor for the republican party to go through a sparsely populated country like millard instead of the densely populated counties of sanpete and sevier the campaigners traveling tho the schedule schedule from nephi to cove fort will strike levan scipio holden fillmore meadow and kanosh over tho the original route they would have passed through fountain green moroni ephraim manti gunnison salina richfield and elsinore Els lnore now let us do a little figuring A according to the official bulletin ot of the fourteenth census of 0 the united states taken in 1920 the population of the p places laces traveled on the new itinerary is as follows levan scipio holden fillmore meadow kanosh ic abosh total on the original route the caravan would have met people in fountain green 1169 moroni 1526 ephraim 2287 mantl mand 2412 gunnison 1426 6 salina 1451 Ri clifield elsinore Elsi noro total deduct I 1 making a difference ot of in other words would the caravan have traveled as outlined by mr woodruff they would have met and talked to more people than on the route probably outlined by mr rishel the average in utah is six people to the family and two voters to the family or two voters in six people which means that on the original oil ginal route the campaigners could talk to more voters than on their tour through millard county Is it not worth the while of a campaigner to meet so many voters respectfully submitted to the cool idge adge dawes dajcs campaigners tor for an answer |
