The best interests of the city as a whole should be given consideration in matters of this nature, and a few interested parties working to defeat it for selfish and personal reasons should be given but little attention. When the commissioners, who are the business representatives of all the people and who are supposed to know what our real civic necessities are, decide on an improvement, they should not be heckled and embarrassed by representatives of selfish interests. Sevententh South is one of Salt Lakes important thoroughfares. In its present condition it is a disgrace to a city of our size and importance and should be improved. in Salt Lake has to pay his Every part of the citys proportion of the cost and is therefore interested as well as the actual residents thereon. If, in the estimation of the commission the street needs paving for the good of the public, then it should be paved without further delay. as-sidiou- sly tax-pay- jr SENATOR Reed Smoot of Utah, a man whom the entire nation praises for his faithful work performed in the United States Senate, pleads with Utah people to send a man to Washington to assist him in maintaing Republican principles. People all over the country wonder why Utah saw fit to tie the hands of Senator Smoot by one of another political faith. Smoot should have aid and not a handicap. Utah has only two senators. If they differ in political views one a Democrat and one a Republican the state and the nation would be money in pocket by not having a representative in Washington at all. No doubt the next four years will prove the greatest reconstruction period in the history of this nation. If Hoover is elected, there should also be elected a Republican congress to help the president in his great work for the welfare of the nation, and as a part of that unit, Utah must be ably represented by men who have and can do things. The people of this state should see that a man is sent to Washington to work with Smoot and not against him. In regard to this, the following letter is UNITED STATES SENATE, Committee of Finance. self-explanato- ry: August 25, 1928. Mr. H. E. Giles, 141 3rd Ave., Salt Lake City, Utah. Dear Friend: I am in receipt of your letter of August 22nd, 1928, and in answer to same will state that I shall do everything in my power to elect Ernest Bamberger Senator of the United States. No person could make the statement that Utah should not send a Gentile to the Senate. The Gentiles are entitled to representation in the Senate and we have two Mormons at this time. I do hope that Utah sends a Republican to the Senate to assist me in maintaining the Republican principles. I want you to do everything in your power to assist in Bambergers election. With warm personal regards, and best wishes, I remain Your truly, right-thinkin- BEFORE the poll made by the Salt Lake Tribune, prominent Democrats predicted that Utah would go Democratic this year, Chairman Draper of the Democratic party claim0 ing that Utah would go Democratic by over votes. However, The Tribune poll tells a very different story. Of a few thousand votes solicited and cast, it was shown that Hoover took a lead of 4,347 votes, which proportion carried through would net the Republicans a victory by over 30,000, a very conservative estimate. Immediately the poll was closed and it was shown that A1 Smith was not as popular in Utah as had been predicted, the Democratic party was thrown into a turmoil and the leaders nervously sought reorganization. Jos. Stringfellow, the county chairman, was the first to be attacked, and they cut his head off without even a hearing. Joe has been a pretty faithful worker. He has given his services to the party without any remuneration, whereas most chairmen make a big thing out of the political chairmanship and drag down the coin. Stringfellow says he is glad that he will be relieved from the hard duties required of a chairman because of pressure business. However he has always held himself subject to call whenever he could do anything for the party, because of his loyalty to the party. The Tribune poll conclusively shows that the people of Utah are anxious to keep Utah in the Republican column with prosperity as their slogan and the Republican party will go in with a whoop and' the entire ticket will be elected. pre-electi- ! on 40,-00- . WATTIS BEGINS WORK. g -- (Signed) REED SMOOT. PAVE SEVENTEENTH SOUTH STREET. THERE ARE others besides those living on Seventeenth South Street that are desirous of having it paved. This street is a natural outlet for people residing at Sugar House and on the South-eaBench. The city is developing very rapidly in that direction and the residents thereabouts are entitled to an other artery into the business section of the city besides 21st South. WM. H. WATTIS, Republican candidate for Governor has been active the past week attend- ing farmers meetings in several parts of the state.. Mr. Wattis is able to apreciate the farmers needs as he has been so closely identified with the industry for so many years. Mr. Wattis life is an interesting one. Born here he has throujgh energetic ability prospered, and is today one of the leaders of industry in this country. A State is like a corporation, to be successful it must have successful executives. Mr. Wattis has made a great success in his private affairs and there is no question that he will give Utah a businesslike administration which will place Utah in the lead of the Rocky Mountain country. st i SENATOR REED SMOOT made an interesting camparison in the Washington Post regarding the effects of the tariff on farm products. He clearly showed that only through Republican protection is the farmer, especially of this state, jJ.. able to prosper. The comparison of tariff rates in 1913 Democratic and 1922 Republican were as follows: 1913 Democratic Act: 1922 Republican Act -- er POLITICAL ROUTE STARTED. SMOOT ASKS FOR HELP. FIGURES TELL TRUE STORY. INFUSING the material with the spiritual is not that the summation of all success? B. C. Forbes. Where would the farmer of Utah be if the Democratic Tariff of 1913 were in effect today. The same is true' in regard to rates on other products such as products of the mines, lead, zinc, etc. Where would the miners be if this Democratic tariff were in force today. Where would our sheep industry, our cattle industry, and sugar industry be unless we had a protective tariff such as the Republcans have given us as shown by Senator Smoots comparison. Is there any question but that Utah must have protection for her industries and for the country to thrive? Senator Smoot challenges any person to prove that the statement of these rates is not correct, and being correct as they are, it is apparent that Utah can only prosper through a Republican tariff, and are not to be misled by promises of Democratic theories. The tariff is the big question in Utah. We must have it, we cannot exist without it. Therefore, it is necessary that our representatives in the Senate and in Congress be Republicans to protect our industries, our workmen and our farmers. The farmers of Utah are Republicans, this is well illustrated by results of the Tribune poll. Weber County showed 782 votes for Hoover and but 438 votes for Smith; Cache County, the home of the sugar beet, showed 492 votes for Hoover and but 241 for Smith, more than 2 to 1 against Smith. Utah County, purely an agricultural county, showed 540 votes for Hoover and 271 for Smith; Box Elder County one of the valuable agricultural counties of the State, showed 326 for Hoover and 182 for Smith. Now, when we come to our sheep industry, the sheepmen of this State appreciate Republican protection on wool. If they should ship wool from Australia and North Africa it would flood our markets and what would happen to the sheep counties of the state. Iron County with its wonderful sheep range showed 172 votes for Hoover and 71 for Smith; Kane County showed 39 votes for Hoover and 17 votes for Smith; Sanpe.j County showed 192 for Hoover and 74 for Smith; Uintah County showed 31 votes for Hoover and 11 votes for Smith; Wasatch County showed 133 votes for Hoover and 86 votes for Smith, and so it goes on down the line. SMOOT NEEDS HELP. No man has worked harder for Utahs prosperity than has Senator Reed Smoot, and for many years the senior senator has worked single handed to accomplish this. It is certain that the people of Utah will this year send Ernest Bamberger to Washington to help Smoot which will assure a 100 per cent vote upon all important matters. Senator King, a Democrat, nearly always votes against Smoot and divided opinion invariably brings a storm of protest. |
