Cowles, editor and of The became a candidate Monday for the Democratic nomination for United States congressman representing the first Utah district, by filing with the secretary of state an acceptance of the petition of designation filed several weeks ago by a group of supporters. In announcing his candidacy, Mr. Cowles stated: After lengthy and serious consideration I have decided to enter the campaign for the Democratic nomination for Congressman representing the First District, a move which has been made despite my limited financial ability to conduct such a campaign. I am entering this campaign as a thoroughgoing Progressive, as a candidate who believes thoroughly in representative government which is reflected by accomplishments in behalf of the interests of society in general and not for a limited element or group. I have at all times opposed machine politics wherein those elected are too often responsive to the dictates of the party bosses who are serving other interests in the background, and in keeping with that attitude, I had the satisfaction of materially aiding in the drive which resulted in the adoption of Utahs direct primary election law, a legislative step which will in a goodly measure eliminate the power of the party bosses who too often rule the roost The slates are drawn up, and the number of candidates assures some PIONEER RESIDENT DIES EARLY TODAY Peter Frandsen, 81, Passes At Home Of Son; Was First Price Ward Bishop Peter Frandsen, 81, of Price died at the home of his son, Leonard Frandsen, early this morning of causes incident to old age.

Settling first in Ephraim, then Castle Dale, and back to Mt. Pleasant, the family finally came to Price in 1884 where Mr. Frandsen became the first bishop of the Price L. D. S. ward.

Escape Most Local Contests te, Discussion of the huge aviation program for Carbon county which is now under consideration for action in the immediate future will be entered into at a public meeting tomorrow, Friday, July 25, at 7:30 p. m. in the Price civic auditorium. Among the speakers who will explain the program in detail will be: Joseph Bergin, state aeronautics director; W. D. Hammond, chairman of the State Road commission; George Abbott, member of the road commission; and Arthur Nichols, state civilian director of aeronautics. Val D. Hicks will preside. The proposed program as it stands now calls for expenditure by Carbon county of $10,000, to which will be added $100,000 of federal funds, for a new county airport. The airport would include one square mile of runways of length, long enough for army bombers to take off, and also hangars large enough to accommodate the planes. The present airport has been declared unsuitable for federal purposes, and the county commission is now studying plans for a new location. Purchase of a new site would have to be made and actual work of preparing the field begun within the next several weeks in order to secure a place on the federal program, which would include training units in both flying and airplane mechanics, in cooperation with Carbon college. The airport would become an integral part of the nations military defense program. There is also a possibility that the new field would enable Carbon county to secure establishment of an airmail route through here, Meeting with the county commissioners last Friday evening, directors of the Price Junior Chamber of Commerce offered their full support and cooperation in promoting the aeronautics program, declared that they realized fully what such a program would mean to the county economically, and were authorized to arrange for Fridays public meeting. Arrangements are being made by the junior chamber directors, with George H. Patterick, Jr., serving as chairman. Dr. C. R. Fahring, commission chairman, told the delegation Friday that such a gathering would permit the public to present its views on the matter before final action is taken, and he urged that all interested citizens of the county attend the one-mi- le Countv Attorney IN FIRST DISTRICT Ot-tes- on j JOHN HOLMAN WINS POST ON LOS ANGELES PAPER Word has been received by Mrs. Sarah Johnson that her son, John Holman, Price, who is now visiting his brother Ralph Johnson of Los won the Angeles, California, has just r.

Bracken Lee who is a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor, has ample competition in the primaries, being opopsed by Reed Stevens, William J. Lowe, Don B. Colton and Otto B. Weisley. B. H. Young, county clerk, is seeking the Democratic nomination for state auditor, opposing another Carbon county product, Reese M. Reese, now state treasurer, and R. R. Carey. The other state candidate from Carbon county is Val H. Cowles, who will run against J. Francis Fowles, David H. Calder and Walter K. Granger in the primaries, for the Democratic nomination for congress, first district. escape Locally, the Republicans primary races, except in the contest for district judge, four candidates seeking the two places on the ticket in the general election, and in the two-yecommissioner contest, which has two G. O. P. candidates. The Democrats have tough sledding in the primaries, except in the cases of Edward Sheya, county attorney; Edward Scherer, legislative candidate from the first district; Donald T. Adams, district attorney; Judge John A. Hougaard and Fred W. Keller, judicial candidates. It appears entirely likely that two primaries will be ar Brigham H. Young, clerk and auditor of Carbon county, filed a petition of nomination Tuesday with the secretary of state, announcing his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for state auditor. I believe that expenditures should be made in strict accordance with rl.e law, and a proper check made on all expenditures, and if nominated and elected state auditor I will strive unceasingly to perform the duties of the office in an honest and efficient manner," Mr. Young declared. During the time that I have been county clerk and auditor, he continued, I have tried always to be of the utmost service to the county and if elected to the state position I will endeavor to give the same type of service and cooperation. Mr. Young is the third candidate to file for the Democratic nomination for auditor. Reese M. Reese, former Carbon county treasurer and now state treasurer, has announced his candidacy for the position of auditor, as has R. R. Carey, present special deputy auditor.
