Show BINGHAM'S CANDIDATE Because the publisher is convinced that a small town newspaper had best be independent of political parties, both from the standpoint of jrood business and good sense, this newspaper is in fact a publication which is politically nonpartisan. non-partisan. For that reason readers will never find editorials in the Bingham Bulletin written for express purpose of directing direct-ing votes to one party or another, and news items on political activity are carefully confined to facts. The practice of consistent ly championing a political party irritates newspaper readers and has little influence. Proof of the latter statement was afforded in the general election of 193G when 80 percent of the nation's newspapers came out for Landon and the voters turned out to give a landslide vote xo Koosevelt. . , , . , The Bulletin is making an exception of an established policy by endorsing 100 percent and urging voters to support at the polls Tuesday, November 5. an individual candidate: Elliott W, Evans, who is on the Republican ticket for state representative from the eighteenth legislative district. This newspaper is of the opinion that there are enough good reasons for urging support of Mr. Evans to make exception ex-ception in his case. In the first place, he is the only local candidate, and offers sole chance of Bingham's obtaining representation in the, state legislature. Last session Bingham district, a section of great economic importance to the state and including in-cluding a population of over six thousand, did not have representation in the Utah house or senate. Secondly, Mr. Evans is well-qualified to be of service to the people of this district. He is a respected member of the Utah Bar and has served Bingham city as attorney for seven years. Through various groups and in a private capacity he has served this community on civic, political and social occasions occas-ions without number. He is a member of the junior chamber of commerce, Lions club, M. E. Community church and Canyon Can-yon lodge No. 13, F. & A. M. . - He was chosen representative ot the Utah Junior liar ection on the Utah State Bar commission and has represented repre-sented the Utah junior chamber of commerce at United States Jaycee meetings in Washington, D. C, and Chicago. If the above sounds uninteresting and pretentious, translate it into this interpretation: . ... Mr. Evans devotes a lot of time, thought and energy to activities that make Bingham a more interesting place to live. He doesn't get a cent and little praise for working work-ing long hours on a celebration like Galena Days, and for ' programs, dances and activities nearly everyone enjoys. He has a good education, a fine mind and his honesty and personal integrity are above question. A man like that deserves support for an otfice. Bingham Bing-ham Is important enough to deserve representation in the Utah legislature. This district is fortunate in having a man like Elliott W. Evans as a candidate. Scratch, if you must, and give him your vote. |
