The Democratic victory was not a party victory. No mere party victory could be so overwhelming or so completely break down sec tlonal lines of partisan sympathy. The victory was a very differen thing it was a personal victory for Mr. Roosevelt. No man in a century has so captivated the ima gination and emotions of the pco pie, and none has received so grea an expression of public confidence A Republican newspaper saic the morning following the election that the President today is the most popular figure our nationa" life has known since Washington." It is impossible to gainsay that The most popular of presidents and those whose administrations stand out mountainously in our history Jefferson, Lincoln, Cleveland were never so popular as Mr. Roosevelt. The past records have all been shattered. The time for partisanship has passed. And the time for cooperation has come. This does not mean that the President should be followed blindly in every course that would be unjust to Mr. Roosevelt himself as well as to the country. It does mean that all should work together in the common cause, as Governor Landon said, deliberating differences and adjusting varying points of view to the end that the great ideal of democratitc government be served to the ultimate of all our capabilities. Congratulations to the President! Few men in the worlds history have been so signally honored by a great people an honor which carries with it the gravest responsibilities. Every good citizen will hope sincerely that Mr. Roosevelts second term as Chief Executive of the foremost nation on earth will be successful, and that his will be a high place in the history of our time. -- Utaf) lafoor Established 1929 Jetos A MEMBER OF THE This paper receives the American Federation of Labor News Service. 04 matter March 28, 1930, at the post office Entered as second-clas- s at Salt Lake City, Utah, under the Act of March 3, 1879.

Every American will accept the verdict, and work for the common cause for the good of the country. That is the spirit of democracy. So ran the telegram dispatched by Governor Landon to President Roosevelt when it became apparent that the voters had rallied in unprecedented numbers in support of the Administration. And that represents something telegram 1 TTT)imimdle L J Smart Clothes Denies Plea for Delay Governor Henry H. Blood has informed the Consumers Welfare league that no good purpose could be accomplished by delaying the hearing before the Public Service commission in the states rate case against the Utah Power and Light . company. In a letter recently to the Governor, L. E. Elggren, president of the league, said that his organization would oppose the confirmation of members of the Public Service commission by next senate, and since there is a possibility they will not continue in office the hearing should be postponed. In answer to this letter, Governor Blood said: 'After investigating the present status of the pending inquiry by the public service commission of Utah into the rate structure of the Utah Power and Light company and after consulting with the chairman of the commission and the attorney general's office with regard to the advisability or the propriety of a postponement at this time, may I say that the commission and the attorney generals office believe that no good purpose could be accomplished by such delay. On the other hand, it is their thought, and mine, that it would be detrimental to the interests of the state to postpone the hearing." The governor did not attempt to Jfor answer the threat of the league to of carry a fight against membersnext the into commission the senate. The senate will have to confirm all interim appointees of the governor, and among them are the public service commissioners. Readers Comment L. D. C.
