And Warden L did more than that. He made a masterly plea for harmony in ranks and scouted the idea of any acrimonious debate over the and called jlencv of the organization, which seemed incubating, tion to the obvious fact that the Young Men's Republican Club all its essentials, a real and bona fide business organization, He stressed the fact in all respects to a gigantic corporation. (corporations seldom change their titular officials, once they have I a man big enough, broad enough and possessed of those subtle tries that make for harmony and efficiency and who can get at the desired time. (Following the Devine talk, which was given in basso profundo Jin the only voice which the genial J. D. is master of, as a second fee eloquent address by Parley P. Jensen, who had placed J. lard Garrett in nomination for the presidency, to succeed him-Ith- e big, happy gathering proceeded to ballot. Paul E. Ranker was the opposing, candidate and that he had lost staunch and alarmingly big, silent following, was amply nstrated when the votes were counted, the results obtained being out as 271 for Garrett, 239 for Banker, out of a total vote of assembled : de-tresu- lts I Howard Garrett has lead the Republican clans of this baliwick vicinity for two years. His friends and supporters last Tuesday It told 'of having elected him to office when, in 1919, the club W barely muster a corporals guard of fourteen members, who hun-l- s d listlessly and disconsolately around on parlor divans, with of vacant chairs staring them in the face.

Garrett has not only held the intact that was fast dwindling in ranks, wholly rejected lov back in 1919, but he has built it up in membership nd iiicidentallv in power, faith and courage until today it is one die most potent and potential Republican organizations in all the It was a blue meeting they avered s. dun-color- ed or-natio- n - has made an enviable record for himself and also for the Republican party. The above is no disparagement to the candidacy of Paul E. g Banker, a party worker, keen and aggressive, and who developed an amazing strong following on short notice; but The Citizen is inclined to believe that the exigencies of the coming political campaign call for the trained and experienced guidance that Mr. Garrett alone can give the club, having piloted it and the Republican party to complete success in a previous strenuous trial. Reading like a page from the most approved Republican primer, the slate that went through at the big annual meet, is one that should cause all staunch Republicans to swell with pride. Joseph Jermey, a tried and true party worker, with years of faithful service to call upon, was elected vice president by a vote of. 276 to 98 for George T. Sharp, of Union, his only opponent. In the selecting of E. Hugh Miller for the office of secretary, the Young Republicans choose a party worker of exceptional ability and technical training. Mr. Miller is associated with the Tracy Loan & Trust Company and is a Past Exalted Ruler of the local lodge g of Elks. He is known to be aggressive, competent and a of the party, Republican. M. II. Kreibel, one of .the. old war-horsand a member of the club from its inception, was named for treasurer. He starts in office the proud custodian of the princely sum of 26 cents, the balance shown to repose in the club exchequer at the close of business and after all bills, past and present, had been liquidated in full. Thea Schweitzer, who has lent dignity to his post and sergegiven more than satisfactory service, was unanimously life-lon- life-lon- es re-elect- ed ant-at-arms. Hail to the chief! Republic Harmony, plus conscientious, upright, forward-lookin- g can endeavor, is again assured for the Young Men's Republican Club for another year; and it should result in carrying the party triumphantly through the 1922 campaign, given the patriotic record of Utahs senior senator, Reed Smoot, in the legislative halls of the nation, with the extremely exceptional economical administration of the county officials, as sustaining and abetting factors. Our lone woman congressman, Miss Alice Robertson, of Oklahoma, speaks clearly and without equivocation for sensible methods and less mooning by her sex in affairs political. In opposing the maternity bill recently enacted, she took a whack at the society matrons and club women whom, she declared, sit at ease in comfortable homes worrying about other peoples children, and get a thrill over tea cups by passing resolutions designed to bring about a new order in governmental affairs. ,;t. fronted with a lively fight, during 1922, to retain the confute if the voters; with a senator, a congressman, and a full quota feouiy officials to be elected, the club membership refused to swap Muirs at a critical period and wisely choseto retain a man who Cm After Nelye had discovered that her birth stone was a blue-whidiamond and Percy had sctlcd on a rare old ruby for his, they asked father to elucidate.
