BOMBSHELL MAY BURST SOON. Present sputtering of the fuse indicate that a mighty bombshell is due to burst in Utah soon that may expose a sensational condition of rottenesa in connection with liquor law enforcement. While the center of the disturbance is expected to be in Sait Lake county, it is intimated that it will have ramifications reaching into other sections of the state. It is known that special federal agents have been exceedingly busy in Salt Lake county and elsewhere for some six weeks past inquiring into the flourishing liquor industry of the state, especially with reference to persistent rumors 'Of conspiracy, graft, protection and corruption in connection with the illegal flourishing of this business. If reports are true these investigators have unearthed a mass of evidence that may result in federal indictments against some people Ih high places and some others in less lofty positions. These agents are still gathering information. It is the duty of every citizen who may have information, to furnish them with it. If there be crookedness and corruption lets bring it to light; lets ferret out the guilty and bring them to justice. Lets have a thorough cleaning-u-p of everything that needs cleaning up.

Draper for the cratic state convention to name delegates to the cratic national convention at Houston, June 26. It the of- DemoDemo- will be held in Salt Lake City, April 9. Under thia call tho county chairmen the state are asked to call county conventions throughout and primaries at the earliest date possible to name delegates to this state meeting of the party. The call provides for 643 delegates to this convention and aa the action of this convention will have an important bearing on the nominating of a Democratic candidate for of the United States, it is important that there be president a full attendance of delegates upon the state convention. County chairmen should, at once, get their committees togetherand issue calls for their primaries and conventions. These should be held early so that complete and accurate lists of the delegates so chosen can be forwarded to the secretary of the state commissee without It ia important that these details be delay attended to promptly and thoroughly.

ERNEST CHOOSES TO RUN He can walk with kin Nor lose the common touch. By P. M. Abbott. (Kipling). L BECAUSE: He represents in his life and deeds, the greatest outstanding individual example in the United States today, of the splendor of American institutions and their ability to produce and train the proper human material to lead, manage, and perpetuate the ideals on which the American Republic waa founded, and only through which can it continue to exist as a great and virile nation. 2. BECAUSE; Not alone does he represent the best hopes and aspiratiqng of the rank and file of the American people, but is all in all, the best mentally poised and equipped individual in the United States today on the administration of sane, fair, constructive, honest, and human government. 3. BECAUSE; Like Jefferson, he recognizes that the consent of the governed is essentially necessary if good and orderly government is to prevail! That the nearer government ig brought home to the individual, the better and stronger government, and that local and not controlled government ig the stone wall bulwark of American liberties and citizenship. 4. BECAUSE; He believes in the rigid enforcement of all statutory laws, and recognizes that the American people are entitled to and will remove any law once such law becomes repugnant and obnoxious to a majority of them. 5. BECAUSE; He recognizes that governments are made UP' of individuals, and that the United States now contain some 115.000,000 individuals, 80 per cent of whom earn their right and ability to live, by an act of labor; That the economic governmental rights of this 80 per cent do by right and must come first, and that such economic governmental rights should and must be safeguarded and protected. 6. BECAUSE; He recognizes that the future of this Republic and its democratic form of government, rests entirely upon the boys and girls of today, and that their proper educational training and home environment are of supreme and vital importance,. That boys and girls improperly housed, improperly nourished, .improperly educated, and with improper home environment, not only become a menace to society, but spell the decay and final ruin of the nation. 7. BECAUSE ; He recognizes that agriculture is the basic industry of the nation. That due to the past seven years of governmental bungling, the agricultural indus-JTUnited Slates has been discredited and financially ruined, and is now fast approaching a condition of peasantry. In hip 1928 message to the Legislature of the State of New York, he outlined a broad and constructive plan for the rehabilitation of the agriculture industry of the State of New York, and which, if applied to the hation as a whole, would accomplish the object sought. 8. BECAUSE; He recognizes that true friendship between nations, as of the individual, is never built up and maintained in an atmosphere of suspicion created by superior force and financial pressure. That the dollar diplomacy-back- ed by shot and shell policy of the Unil-e- d States Government for tho past seven years, spells only hatred for the American people, their institutions wSwexrr.yernme,?t and that Peace on Earth, Good can only come and be maintained through f mUtU&I of confidence and friendship 9 : Of supreme and vital importance to the m tV water resources and i; l0r vn years as Chief Executive ofpoten-fal!tthe of York, he has contended for the preserva-tio- n from private exploitation of the last resources still in possession of the American natural people He V.c?n,c.eive.d Put forward, and recommended to the Assembly of the state of New York, a plan for state ownership, development, and control of its resources for purposes, and a Federa,1 way t0 the development ?lveI J.2.V4? logical and wld ive to the southwest undisputed prosperity and stability so urgently needed. 10 voC.tJISE(itA?i5i la8t' ?ut not least--IIe tolerates no , no issues, and thinks, speaks, and acts in the language of common American citizenship.
