The first big guns of the campaign to reelect President Franklin D. Roosevelt will be fired at this memorable and histor- y-making gathering. The stage is all set to accommodate more than 10,000 friends of our humanitarian and statesmanlike Presdent. The demand for the tickets was so brisk that the committee on ar- - rangements, headed by John D. Loftis of the Order of Railroad Conductors, had to send a rush order to the printers for 5000 additional tickets. The 10,000 tickets originally ordered were exhausted National Committeeman A. S.

UtaKandJJ, S, Compiled From Reports of Observers ' The Straw Votes The straw ballot conducted by a leading morning paper of Utah, as far as the governorship is concerned, does not indicate the true status of the situation at this early stage of the campaign. There are several reasons for your observer making this statement at this particular time. The poll referred to was put in motion at a time when there was a bitter factional fight in the Democratic party circles. Ballots cast during the period the feud was raging made the complexion of the poll altogether different from what it would be if taken October 1, or even today. The leaders of the political factions in the Democratic party have come to an understanding. The rank and file of Senator Maws followers are falling in line in support of Governor Henry H. Blood, ' the Democratic nominee for governor. This united support will materially reduce the straw vote cast for Mayor Harman W. Peery of Ogden, an independent candidate, and Ray W. Dillman, the Republican candidate. The Utah Labor News observers have been scouting among the voters during the past week. The rereaports of our observers give us been son to believe that there has almost a complete change in the picture as it presents itself today from what it was a week ago. Of the voters contacted in Salt Lake, 65 said they had voted for Peery in the straw ballot; 63 of these said they would vote for Governor Blood on election day. Of the .20 who had voted for Dillman, 14 said they would vote for Blood. Our observer in Weber county reports that of the 40 who had cast a straw vote for Peery, 31 said they would vote for Governor Blood." The Carbon county observer made a few contacts. Twenty-tw- o out of 26 who had voted for Peery in the straw poll said they would support Blood. Nineteen out of 27 Dillman straw voters were outspoken in their support for Blood. Six Peery voters out of eight in the straw ballot in Box Elder county informed our scout that they , (Continued on page 5) I 'wfimim ! By M. I. T.

Because Roosevelts Code Is American Labors Code Those few who may inquire, why the Utah Labor News is so militant in advocacy of the reelection of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, we will answer it is because the New Deal of Roosevelt places human rights above property rights. It makes a practical code for the Rights of Man in the new Industrial Age: 1. A job for everyone who wants it. 2. Wages high enough to give a living to every family, and a share in the products of industry. 3. Hours short enough to spread the work, and to give everyone adequate leisure.
