An attempt was made to acquire a copy of the b This is American Party platform, but as of the writing of this first article we have not received one. Candidates of both parties are generally pledged to support their partys platform unless they publicly declare their opposition to a particular section during the campaign. It would be well to remember during the coming weeks before the November election that those points spelled out in the respective platforms will determine to a large extent the voting record of the Cache Elk herd is in good Popular condition this year.

Bull only and antlerless permit holders are reminded that they are to leave evidence of sex attached to the animal. This problem arises every year and the sex of the animal must be able to be determined in the field. Hunters who are interested in hunting the Ogden River herd unit are reminded that this unit is almost totally under private ownership and trespass is generally restricted. Permission must be obtained prior to entering upon private lands. Combination or big game license and elk permits must be in the hunters possession while hunting. Also hunters are reminded not to carry any type of sidearm while on the elk units. Proclamations are available at all Division of Wildlife Resources Offices. Kennedy Announces Team State of Utah.

But we have forGod gotten Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too to pray to the God who made us. It behooves us then to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins and pray for clemency and forgiveness, In these days of affluence and national turmoil these words of Lincoln are more appropriate than ever.

Both parties immediately launch into expected standards of elected and apofficials and campointed paign funding or political accountability. The Republican Party states that the greatest requisite for a public official is honesty; he must put his country first and that he should be living a personal life of integrity, of sober honesty, and of responsible citizenship. They state a belief that the American people will regain their confidence in public officials who speak plainly and are forthright. The Democratic Party would establish a political accountability and election procedure committee, and a government ethics commission. They would require more meetings of public officials to be open to the public and the news media; devise a system of recording and publishing the voting records of all legislators, require registration of lobbyists with the secretary of state and allow the legisto hire adequate lature research and clerical staff to clearly determine the needs of the state and to serve as a knowledgeable check on the executive and Grants and commissions.

DAD have invoked divine guidance, for we believe that all rights of man come from God, and not from the State. We agree with William Penn that those people who are not governed by God will be ruled by tyrants. If therefore any of the planks of this dent in our thinking can we serve the people of Utah and America, and we urge our fellow citizens, regardless of party, if they believe in the same principles and policies, to use their influence to assist us in urging their acceptance in Washington and elsewhere, and to elect those who are dedicated to the principles expressed in judicial branches of ment. govern- Republicans go on record as approving federal legislation limiting the expenditures of those seeking federal office. They also approve state legislation limiting the expenditures of those seeking state offices. They are opposed to either the federal government or the ating tax income for running campaigns by candidates for office. Further they would set a limit to the amount of contribution any one person, committee or legal entity can make to a campaign. The GOP opposes the use of union dues and fees for the support of any political candidate, party or iijealogy except with the affirmative approval of each wage earner who pays such dues and fees. On the other hand the Democratic Platform only calls for the limiting of contributions from special interest groups and the complete prohibition of corporate donations. They call for filing a statement of financial interests annually, listing income in amounts of $500 or more, including income derived by all members of the public PROPOSITION NO. 2 LENDING OF PUBLIC CREDIT SHALL SECTION 29 OF ARTICLE VI OF THE STATE CONSTITUTION BE AMENDED TO PERMIT THE STATE TO LEND ITS CREDIT ONLY TO AID IN THE ESTABLISHMENT OR EXPANSION OF PRIVATE INDUSTRY WITHIN THE STATE.
