SOUTHERN UTAH ENTITLED TO GQNGBESSMAH The voters of southern Utah. should demand at the State Con ventions of both political parties that a man from the south b nominated for congress. Th north has Congressman Howell, the part has the two senators, and the fifteen count ies embraced in the territory south of Utah County containing more than one half of th state and one fourth of the population s entitled to the place. If tha voters and press of the Renublicon. Democratic, and central south independent papers will join in this demand we will get a m a n in sympathy with our interests. who knows our needs, and who will be in reach of our people. We recommend that in all con ventions and primaries held that a resolution be paused favoring the selection of a southern man. Both parties have good capabW men for the place, ar.d""we pro test against the selection of other than a southern man to represent us, and p o in t to th fact that Salt Lake and the north already has its full share of th National and State officer.
