Show I IN A FRANTIC EFFORT TO DELUDE THE VOTERS OF UTAH, A COTERIE OF OFFICE- HUNGRY REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS IS QUESTIONING THE FIDELITY OF CONGRESSMEN MAYS AND WELLING. THEY INSINUATE THAT THESE CONGRESSMEN WENT ON A "JUNKET" TO EUROPE WHEN THEY OUGHT TO HAVE BEEN IN WASHINGTON. HERE ARE THE FACTS - 1. A delegation of six Congressmen Repub- partment were to Ambassadors Page in London, licans and Democrats, including Representatives Sharp in France and Thomas Nelson Page in Rome. Mays and Welling was sent to study the war activ- . ' , . ' ities of the United States overseas. THIS DELE- r ?

In the light of these facts, does not the attack upon Utah's loyal Congressmen, while directly in the line of their duty, by a group of Republican politicians, come with extremely poor grace? IS NOT THIS PROPAGANDA A SUGGESTION OF THE TYPE OF ACTIVITY WE CAN EXPECT FROM REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMEN SHOULD THEY BE ELECTED? Should not Congress have the benefit of the information acquired by Utah's Congressmen during their trip overseas? ' ARE YOU GOING TO PERMIT A GROUP OF REPUBLICAN PROPAGANDISTS TO STRIKE AT THE PRESIDENT BY ELECTING REPRESENTATIVES POLITICALLY OPPOSED TO HIM, AND THUS REPUDIATE HIM BEFORE THE ENTIRE WORLD? AMERICANS! CITIZENS! STAND BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! RE-ELECT CONGRESSMEN MAYS AND WELLING! 1 DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET MILTON H. WELLING, JAMES H.
