Phone Wasatch 6409 i - i SMOOT HOME FOR CAMPAIGN i he will plunge wholeheartedly into the campaign in the interest of Ernest Bamberger and all other Republican candidates on the state and county tickets. This announcement of the proposed personal activities of the senior senator in the present campaign should serve to set at rest the claims of those detractors of all things Republican, and of Republi1 can candidates in particular, that Senator Smoot is a disinterested party in Utah's senatorial contest, and that he would remain in Washington to attend to his committee duties, rather than to come ' , in the local campaign. here to take part , Those who spread the alarm that Senator Smoot is not interested in Republican success in Utah this fall, predicated their assertions more on their personal wishes in the matter, than upon any positive knowledge they had of the senator's intentions. They hoped he would take a passive part, thus giving some semblance of color to their iabortive claims and thus perhaps make it just a bit easier for the Democrats. , Senator Smoot recently sent the following telegram to Carl R. Marcusen, chairman of the Republican state campaign committee : I have just received word through the state department that the British debt commission will not arrive in Washington the last week in September, as expected, but would reach here about October 20. This change will allow me to return to Utah for a short time and if nothing unforseen happens I will arrive home about October 2. to do everything possible In the short time I will be in Utah I want t t to assist in the election of the Republican ticket. I cannot believe that Utah will express by her vote disapproval of the accomplishments of the present administration. No congress has ever enacted a greater percentage of legislation promised by its party, and I know this will become apparent to the voters of Utah during this campaign. No destructive, no sectional, no class legislation has been enacted. Failure to pass the emergency tariff act would have financially ruined every wool producer and sugar company in the state and the failure of these two great industries would have crippled if not wrecked many of the banks in the state. Financial havoc would have the followed. I do not believe that the people of Utah will senator who voted against and denounced the emergency tariff bill and the tariff bill signed by the president last Saturday as vicious, damnable and indefensible. I hope to see the Republican ticket elected from top to bottom and only wish I could give more time to the campaign.' t ' r 4 9 f w 1 - Senator Reed Smoot, than whom no other national character is resent more in the public spot light, because of the fact that he chief sponsor of the Fordney tariff bill in the senate and because of his connection with the foreign debt refunding com- il0n and his chairmanship of the senate finance committee, is com- home to take an active part in the political campaign in his home e. ' Wtor Smoot has worked diligently and consistently for the of the nation the past session. He has had much to con-"jtfrom those few Republicans who conceived it their duty ecoitie reactionary and to champion the. cause of the predatory ini erests of the east, and more from the befuddled and bclocratic senatorial contingent. senator is expected to arrive in Salt Lake Monday of next and it is presumed that so soon as he has taken a short rest Yemeni h, t,... B re-ele- ct THE DEMOCRATIC SHIBBOLETH. Apparently lacking any definite issue in either local, state or national affairs, the Democrats of Utah, in their grave extremity to discover something tangible on which to base their pleas for support of the people, have fallen back on the lame shibboleth : This is a Democratic year. |
