Since Utah county has been dry, the county has had much troublo over the "blind pigs," but never were these dhes so llugrnnt as they have been during the past two years of Democratic Demo-cratic rule. Ld us refer to facts, as shown by tho' county clerk's records, they show when each whiskey club was organized, organi-zed, and each and all of them wore organized under Democratic rule, as follows Timpanoogns club nt I'rovo, February 24, 1913; Tlmpanoogas club No. 2 at I'rovo, June 12, 1913; Eldo-roiln Eldo-roiln club at I'rovo, August Ii, 1913; Loftier club at Payson, Juno 25, 1913; Vebo club at Payson, September 17, iyl3; Eureka club at Payson, November Novem-ber 12, 1913; Granite club nt Amerl-nn Amerl-nn Fork July 10, 1913; Tuscarorn :lub ul Spanish Fork, April 29, 1913; Hid the Blue Rock club at Lehl, September Sep-tember 10, 1913. So you eee they Acre all organized under Democrntlc ale, and were nil permitted to flourish flour-ish tind'-r Democratic rule for many months, nnd some of them for nl-most nl-most n year before any attempt wns made by the county authorities to suppress sup-press them; they allowed them to got (Irmly rooted, and then In order to make political capital for Borne of the county candidates on the Democrntlc Demo-crntlc ticket, they started to suppress these clubs thnt had grown up under their administration nnd fostering care, and now these snmc people who permitted them to continue In business busi-ness have the nfftoiitry to charge their existence to a Republican nd-mlalstratlon, nd-mlalstratlon, when they know thnt not a single whiskey club existed In I'tnh county under Republican rule. It little becomes the county attorney (jlstrlct attorney, nnd shcrirf to Book political preferment from the people by such shameful and wilful misrepresentation misrep-resentation of the plain facta. After all tho Important thing Ib the character hohlud tho candidates. You fan depend on James II. Gardner lu keeping up n high standard of county affairs. You can depend on John II. Wootton, Win.
