W. Dalton) funds to meet Its obligations. We have in the city many men who need work. This is their only asset in life. I believe a system of rotation of work will render higher service to the greatest number. It will be the policy of the incoming administration that money expended for labor will reach as many heads of families as possible. I believe it is wise to consult the business interests and men of sound understanding before any project of substantial magnitude is undertaken. This will be done as far as possible. I am very pleased the voters of Price city elected a city council who are of the same opinion as I am on matters of economy and work within the city. I express to the many friends who supported the Citizens ticket my sincere thanks for the honor of being elected to this high office in the Biggest Little City on Earth. it Hujml 1SI Two Repeal Issues Win Easily In 27 Of 29 Districts; Wellington, Kir Dry WET LEADER To Sponsor Armistice Speaker COMMENTS With the wets rolling up majonlies in 27 of the 29 precincts.
