Show REPUBLICANS OF UTAH I Will Yon Be Frightened Into Voting The Democratic Ticket? I The Democrats flatly accuse you of disloyalty, of being friends of the Kaiser, if you dare follow your con- j victions and vote the Republican ticket. They hypocritically cry "Support the President" and then try to j scare you into voting their ticket by placing the fear of being disloyal in your hearts. These are the assertions or the implications from statements made by some small minded politicians. But President Wilson himself is quit ready to admit, and he did admit, in his political appeal issued the other day, after he had declared that I 'politics is adjourned," that the Republican members of Congress are and the Republican party was pro-war and have supported all important war measures. 9 Mn?EAf C0RD PR0VES THAT THE REPUBLICANS ARE STAUNCH SUPPORTERS OF THE PRESIDENT IN THE PROSECUTION OF THE WAR. J IHib lb NOT A DEMOCRATIC WAR, NOR THE PRESIDENT'S WAR. IT IS THE PEOPLE'S WAR.' THE PEOPLE, ALL CLASSES AND ALL POLITICAL FAITHS, j SHOULD HAVE THEIR RIGHTFUL SHARE IN THE PROSECUTION OF THE WAR. j On fifty-one roll calls between April 6, 1917, and May 29, 1918, the votes east by Republicans in favor of important im-portant war measures were 72 per cent, while only 67 per cent of the votes cast on the Democratic side were in favor fa-vor of such, measures. These wer the President's own measures. Does that record look as though we had hampered him? Champ tClark, the Democratic Speaker of the House, opposed the Draft Bill, and said, "There is a precious little lit-tle difference between a conscript and a convict." - Congressman Dent, Democrat from Alabama, chairman of the Military Affairs Committee, opposed the first draft bill, and President Wilson had to appeal to Julius Kahn, a Republican, to champion that bill through the House. Claude Kitchin, Democrat from a small town in North Carolina, voted against the war, and has been an obstructionist obstruc-tionist on other important war measures. Does not that record look as if the Democrats, instead of the Republicans, bad hampered the President in the prosecution of. the wart The Democrats dare not say that Republicans are not loyal enough to fight and die, as they are doing by the thousands; loyal enough to take up great loans and to pay enormous taxes; loyal enough to furnish important men at no salary on some great war boards in Washington. ' Why then are they not loyal enough to be entrusted with a voice in shaping war legislation? To be given power to help solve the questions of peace ? To be heard upon the question as to what kind of peace shall be imposed im-posed ? WHEAT VS. COTTON There are some domestic questions where the Republicans, Republi-cans, if given control of Congress, will differ, with the administration. We should not fix the price of the farmer's wheat and leave the price of the planter's cotton untouched. If it was necessary as a Avar measure and in order to prevent profiteering to establish the price of wheat by law, is it not just as important for the same reasons to fix the price of cotton? THE EFFECT OF THE ELECTION BOARD. The Democrats speak of the effect of the election board. They claim that a Republican victory will bring gloom to the allies and joy to Berlin. Our allies and the Kaiser's S gang are not unfamiliar with the fact that the Republican I party is the war party, that it championed preparedness, and that its leaders and statesmen were sounding the cry "To Arms". at the very time the Democratic parly was j conducting a great national campaign based upon the slogan ' ' He Kept Us Out of War. ' ' The election of a Republican Congress will constitute a declaration by the soverign American people to their allies in Europe and to Germany that the war will be prosecuted pro-secuted vigorously to a decision on the field of honor, and that nothing short of Unconditional Surrender will satis-. satis-. fy this nation. The knowledge with the mandate it carries to the President Pres-ident will reassure our allies of our firm allegiance to the cause they have so long and so courageously defended j and will depress no one save the Huns. j THE LEGISLATURE I THE NEXT SESSION OF THE LEGISLATURE WILL IN ALL PROBABILITY, HAVE GRAVE QUESTIONS TO SETTLE. IT WILL MEET NEXT WINTER. THE I SENATOR TO BE ELECTED WILL HOLD HIS OFFICE FOR FOUR YEARS AND WILL BE A MEMBER OF THE SESSION IN 1921. WHEN THE WAR IS OVER I THERE WILL BE MANY THINGS PERTAINING TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS COMMONWEALTH THAT WILL NEED TO BE CONSIDERED BY THE 3 LEGISLATURE.

The board of commissioners supervises the expenditure of all county funds; it has great power over tax levies and equa -ization of taxes. It demands the services of honest men who will give intelligent attention at-tention to the business of the county.

SHOW THE TAXPAYERS, MR. BAMBERGER j In 1916 you said: "I will reduce taxes. Why I could afford to be Governor without a salary just for the reduction I would make in my own taxes and the taxes I of others." g You did say that, didn't you? And some of us sincere people believed it because I we thought you were sincere. But your record has fooled us, and fooled us badly. 1 We don't know what has happened to your taxes ; but we do know what happened B to ours. I Never again, Simon, will your honeyed words be swallowed by a sincere taxpny- er. Inflated tax receipts are tough evidence to overcome. I During the first year of your administration, Mr. Governor, it cost the taxpayers $28,276.20 more per month, out of the general fund, to run the government of "this B state, than it cost during the last year of the Republican administration; while out of all funds, it costk$148, 857.83 more per month. Or it has cost us taxpayers $1,786,293.98 B more for one year of your economical administration than it cost for the last year of B the Republican administration. g That $25,000.00 Fund . Q If Hon. L. R. Anderson is elected to the office of State Senator, and it J. Morinni B Johnson and C. M. Madsen are elected to the House, they will demand an aecounl ing of that $25,000.00 which was appropriated to the Governor to discover graft that did not exist. I ;i be. inese aie - g J WILLIAM H.
