Utah Looks to Future Challenges Ahead For Governor The "Cease fire " issued during the inauguration gun ceremony will probably not be the only "Cease fire!" heard during Governor Gov-ernor George Dewey Clyde's administration. ad-ministration. The dud shell will probably not be the only "dud" his administration will have to handle. The wisdom of stopping short of the ultimate goal will probably characterize other activities of his term, for indeed that is the genius of government in a Republic. And it takes greater courage to sometimes some-times stop short of the goal than to shove on. This is as it should be. On the other hand, the Governor, though represented as a new comer to the political arena, is in reality an old hand at the processes of government. His education, private endeavors, and long association associ-ation with the water board with all its controversial angles, compromises compro-mises and successes has schooled him in the quiet dignity of resolution. resolu-tion. To be so conscious of following in the footsteps of the pioneers, to envision their dreams as his, to open the doors of our treasure house indeed, these are lofty aspirations. But they are not beyond him. Citizens of the State also acknowledge the "grave responsibility" responsi-bility" that devolves upon them in maintaining and encouraging their choice of leader. We are happy to know that he is uncommitted. That "the needs 'and desires of every segment of the population" will be considered. That he "will seek counsel from all parties and groups." But what is even more we believe be-lieve that here is a man who can sift and weigh the evidence and from it select that which is beneficial. ben-eficial. We also invoke divine guidance for his administration. Together "we can go forward with confidence toward Utah's promise for the future." |
