Paid candidates, likewise have placed their approval on the amendment and have urged its adoption. The amendment appears on the ballot by virtue of a joint resolupww? tion passed in the last Utah legislature. Its passage empowers the 'X legislature to create a new system for selecting judges. It does not provide nor contemplate that judges be appointed. This amendment seeks to remedy Utahs system of selecting judges on partisan ballot during general election years years when consideration of fitness of candidates for office is overshadowed by election of national, state and county officers, a spokesman said. In effect, it will make possible coni' tinuance of capable judges in ser-- ! vice in our courts.

Apples.-Atkinson- , , l The war stories I like best, Judge, are,: the ones by the special writers overseas who live right with our troops. They give us a better idea of how our men react to things going on over there and back '. here at home. I agree with you, Sam. I never miss one of those stories in the papers or magazines. And theres one thing those writers seem to agree on no matter where they are stationed with our men... and that is that the men who have left their homes and families to go away and fight this war dont want to come back and find that prohibition has been put over on them while they were away ... either nationally or locally. They have heard about the attempts being made and they resent ! it bitterly. I agree with them, Judge, even though I dont happen to drink myself. Furthermore, I dont think its fair for us at home to be making any major changes while 10,000,000 of our fighting men are away and have no chance to express their opinions.
