REPUBLICAN PARTY PLATFORM We the Republican Partv American Pork City In primary as sembled, re-afflrm our allegiance to me great Republican Party the par-ty par-ty of law and order, and whose history his-tory has shown It to be the party of progress and prosperity, which has encouraged Individual Initiative and nder whose guiding hand the United states became foremost among the nations of the worjd. ine Republican Party has ever stood as the defender of the Constitution Consti-tution of the United States. We do not believe that the Constitution should be considered as a mere scrap of paper to be torn asunder and cast to the four winds to provide a way for unsound Democratic policies, requiring re-quiring a unanimous decision of an impartial Supreme Court to call a halt to the wanton disregard of the Constitution and of Constitutional rights. As a Party we condem the lavish and extravagant expenditure of pub lic funds authorized by the National Democratic Administration much of the funds expended having gone into in-to the coffers of the rich without bringing prosperity to the masses. Countless bureaus have been estab- Jlshed for administrative purposes, entailing an expense of from SO to 40 ol the amount expended to operate, op-erate, and building up a great political politi-cal machine that Democratic rule may be perpetuated. Projects of little lit-tle real value have been authorized and put over, and on account of the worthless nature of some of these projects, workers on same have assumed as-sumed an indifferent attitude, and together with the way relief has been administered, las done much to break the morale of our working classes.

Mr. Konold was born at Durham, Ontario, Canada, July 29, 1862, the son of William and Elizabeth Sophia Konold. He was married to Mary I. W. Bone, daughter of Mary Tucker and Edwin Bone of Durham, October 21, 1885. After their marriage Mr. Konold engaged in fanning near Durham for two years when they moved to Laramie, Lara-mie, Wyoming, where he entered the employ of the Union Pacific Railroad company as locomotive fireman and later as engineer. In May, 1895, Mr. Konold accepted a position as engineer engi-neer on the Rio Grande Western railroad, locating at Salt Lake City. One year later he entered the Life Insurance business, remaining with this company until June 1, 1925, when he entered the poultry business In American Fork. Mr. Konold now owns and operates one of the large poultry farms of this community. Mr. and Mrs. Konold are the par ent of eight children, five of whom are living: Alfred E. Konold ana R. Konold of Salt Lake City; Frank W. Konold. Texas: Mrs. O. w. non-man, non-man, Denver, Colorado, and Ira H. Konold of American Fork. They also have thirteen grantlrhlldren aiui three ireat-irrandchlldrcn. gard for the balancing of the nation al budget, so that even Democratic Senator William H. King In a speech recently broadcasted over an ocean to ocean net work is horrified with the condition. As to our city, as a party and as citizens we deplore some conditions that exist under the guiding hand of a Democratic administration. Let us mention two or three of them. First, the indifference of our city officers in the enforcement of law and their lack of action in cases of law infringement in-fringement Second, the present un satisfactory condition of our city's finances. Third, the use of the city automobile for other than strictly city purposes. As a party we feel that something need be done to remedy these and other undesrlable conditions. There has doubtless been a lack of understanding by our city officials toward those of our citizens who have unfortunately been under the necessity of receiving relief, which has brought about an antagonistic attitude on the part of the workers. As a Republican party in primary assembled, we pledge our candidates, If elected: 1. To an honest business-like administration ad-ministration of city affairs. 2. To put forth diligent efforts to secure the return to the city of some of our own money paid to the state for gasoline tax. Sales tax, state road tax, and liquor and beer sale tax, to help defray our present heavy city indebtedness and to make such improvement im-provement to our streets, etc. as may be necessary. 3.

The large attendance at the primaries was rather a surprise to both groups. The Democrats assembled in the auditorium of the city hall while the Republicans gathered m the Harrington Har-rington school building and selected some of the best material obtainable in the city to appear on the ticket for city offices this year. Many have expressed their opinion that both parties have placed a strong ticket In the field and one that neither would have occasion to apologize for. The merits of each candidate, their integrity and efficiency, are common knowledge to the citizenry of this community and the jfippn of the city may safely be entrusted to men of the calibre named on the above city tickets. The Republican Primary was call ed to order by Precinct chairman, DeVere Wootton who was elected as primary chairman with Wayne Chad wick as secretary. Lloyd B. Adamson was chosen mayor by ac clamation as was Mrs. Mate Earl for treasurer and James Tattersoll, Rulon Rul-on Nicholes and William Preston, councilmen. Karl Bennett was selected se-lected by ballot running against Leo Meredith. Dan Jorgeneen was majority ma-jority man, defeating Jesse Spafford and Leige Chlpman for the final place on the council. Chairman Ray Shelley conducted the Democratic Primary with Bert Christensen as precinct and primary secretary. Roy Greenwood, John H. Robinson, Bert Christensen, Roy Okey, Jared Keller and Mrs. Jennie Cunningham were all selected by acclamation. Thomas A. Barratt was chosen by ballot having run against Ernest Seastrand for the recorder nomination. A committee of three men from each party was selected to contact the county commissioners relative to the changing of the district line dividing di-viding the Third and Fourth dis tricts. The division line as proposed will move it to First East or the same as the ecclesiastical wards. These men named are: 8. T Shelley, We, the Democratic Party of American Fork City, in primary assembled, as-sembled, do hereby re-afflrm our allegiance to the time honored principle prin-ciple of Jeffersonlan Democracy, "Equal Rights to all, and Special Privileges to None." We commend to your careful consideration con-sideration the record of accomplishments accomplish-ments of our honored president, Franklin D. Roosevelt, believing that during his administration more progressive pro-gressive legislation, in the interests of the people, has been passed than In any other adrnlnlstartlon since the time of Woodrow Wilson. We call attention to the fact that In our City Democratic Platform two years ago a pledge was made for economy and a reduction of expenses. ex-penses. We are proud to say that, notwith standing the unfavorable economic conditions which have existed, and still do exist, and the Improvements that have been made during that period of time, our city debt has been reduced to the extent of $10,000.00. Among the many Improvements made by the present City Admlnl. tratton we note the following: 1st. The connecting up with our Water 8ystem of the Forest Boun dary Spring, which added materially to our water supply, and almost Insures In-sures an adequate supply of water for the future. 2nd. Two miles extension of our water mains. 3rd. Extensive improvements on the City Cemetery. 4th. The completion and equipment equip-ment of our present fine Legion Building.

This merely puts an additional burden upon those who pay. and make it more difficult to meet their tax obligation, and may not Increase the amount of revenue collected.

A. officers are still urging your cooperation in the Era campaign now being put over. The conflicting events of the past two weeks, has retarded the work somewhat, but the workers feel they will yet be successful in attaining the goal set by the General Authorities Authori-ties when they placed the stake quota quo-ta at 307 Eras. Ray Shelley, chairman of the First ward, reports a total of 48 subscriptions subscrip-tions out of an allotment of 66. Francis Foster reports 37 Eras sold In the Second ward, with a promise of several more In the next few days. They are allotted 64. The Third and Fourth wards have sold 15 each out of a quota of 53 and 64 respectively. Arvllla Devey is chairman of the Third ward and Dorothy Orant In the Fourth. Alpine and Highland did not report. The "thermometers" In the Utah Power 8i Light office are not getting to the warmer regions very rapidly according to this- report, the stake temperature being Just past 37 degrees. de-grees. If the 100 per cent Is reached it will take the support of every member of the stake. O" With the assistance of some good patriotic citizens, our city has also acquired full title to the property of the American Fork Co-op. with a value of not less than $25,000.00 for the sum of $2,500.00, adding very materially to the asset of the city. They have also submitted the fol lowing W. P. A. projects for the ap proval by the Federal Government: 1st. Cemetery beautifies tlon $6,-000.00. $6,-000.00. 2nd.

Grading and graveling streets $16,169.30. 6th. New Community Hospital $10,000.00. Total $59,660.52. Of the above mentioned, the culinary culi-nary water improvement project in the amount of $20,185.00 has now been approved, and it is hoped that within thirty (30) days work on the same may be commenced. These, with many other much needed improvements, mark the rec ord of our present City Administra tion. In connection with the above mentioned W. P. A. and other Governmental Gov-ernmental projects, we pledge our candidates, if elected, to do every thing possible to secure such project as will offer the greatest amount of labor, at the prevailing P. W. A. wage scale, and will be of the greatest benefit to our community. If, and when, projects, or matters of great importance, confront the Council with respect to Governmental Governmen-tal affairs, the attitude of the citizenry citiz-enry shall be secured, at such intervals inter-vals as the occasion requires, through the medium of report meetings, or such other means as may be feasible. 7. We promise to make a thorough study of the question of taxation and to lend our support to all measures whether city, county, state or national na-tional that would tend to shift the main burden of taxation from the shoulders of those who can least afford to pay them, to the shoulders of those who can best afford It Believing that the best interests of our city will be served by a continuance contin-uance of a Democratic administration, administra-tion, in harmony with our State and National setup, we solicit the suffrage suf-frage of the community, pledging our candidates, If elected, to an economical, economi-cal, conservative, yet progressive, administration ad-ministration of the City's affairs in the iriterest of all the people. tally his ship models, Mr. Johnson has a host of friend who feel a loss in his passing.

Jack Berg, as he Is popularly known around the stockyards district dis-trict in Chicago, has held a lone reputation with livestock men as one of the country's best known producers pro-ducers of high class f st and feeder sheep: Year after year, lambs raised rais-ed and shipped from Mr. Berg's range near American Fork haVe topped top-ped Chicago market when they vent to Chicago for sale. When the lambs were ready for sale, through the Farmers Union Live Stock Commission which is a nation-wide cooperative marketinf house owned and controlled by organized or-ganized farmers, there were many farmers anxious to buy the Utah lambs owned by Mr. Berg. High bidder on the consignment proved to be a Michigan man living In Ingham County. This farmer bought the Berg lambs at the record smashing price of $9.33 per hundred pound and a check of statistics shows that this consignment broke all price records in the corn belt states for the past six years, not being equaled in Chicago market since the fall of 1928. o Ten Years Ago Now ONE DAY LEFA TO REGfER Voters desiring to cast a ballot in the Municipal Election here, November Novem-ber 5th, have but one more day in which to register.
