Show Heavy Voting Reported From All Parts bf The Country (Continued from pate one) Georgia and other southern states, despite the fact that Mr. Roosevelt generally was conceded the solid south. Lines of voters waited the opening of the polls in Atlanta, Nashville, Birmingham Birming-ham and New Orleans. First of the election day principals prin-cipals to vote was Gov. John W. Bricker of Ohio, the Republican vice - presidential nominee. He 'became the 111th voter to receive ballot in his Columbus, O., precinct. pre-cinct. Although the rural voting generally gen-erally was slow in gaining momentum, mo-mentum, there were some, exceptions. excep-tions. Fifteen per cent of the .registered voters had made their choices in the rural communities of New York's Suffolk county by JO a. m. (EWT).

But Republicans insist that they will win the house this year. It is conceded that they have brighter prospects now than at any time since Mr. Roosevelt became the Democratic leader. Plenty of Ridicule One of the side issues of this campaign has been the possibility tnat the president. in close con test, might squeeze through but that the house would so Repub lican. In that event Mr. Roosevelt would have to deal with Reoub 1 icans if he could deal with the house at all. Political morality, individual veracity and age have fired this campaign with bitter issues. Dewey's challenge to the "tired and quarrelsome old men" has aroused Mr. Roosevelt's supporters support-ers to ridicule the governor's youth. Mr. Roosevelt is 62 and Dewey is 20 years younger. Sen.

Boyd was of the opinion today that he might have to ask officers at Fort Douglas to station some military police in Provo over the week ends, when soldiers are on leave. The decision was reached reach-ed following a brawl Saturday night in a Provo cafe between local police officers and a group of soldiers from the army camp. Thougn nothing serious came from the melee, the chief was of the belief that a re-occurence might cause injuries. Furthermore, Further-more, the chief said, it is against all the precepts of law and order to allow such incidents and definitely def-initely not for the good of the community. The brawl was the result of the attempt of police officers to evict soldiers who were reported to be drinking. When police told them that it was not allowed allow-ed and that they would have to leave, about 30 soldiers voiced resentment and proceeded to act accordingly. After summoning some help from the department, the situation was put under control con-trol by the police and the soldiers sold-iers went out peacably. PAGE 2 PROVO. OTAR COTJJTTT, CTAB TUESDAY.

UNION BUS DEPOT Phone 310 1st West and 1st North ovcniAno GQGVlKIGaiy INTERSTATE TRANSIT OswraMky If Nil Hotel Roberts Mark Anderses Ed Burton TO PROSPECTIVE HOTEL INVESTORS: The Provo Chamber oi Commerce Hotel Committee says that a new hotel in Provo would be an investment opportunity for our people. There are other authorities: "For years and years the hotel business, at least from the investor's standpoint, has been just about the w orst business in the country. As in many another industry, the trouble w as over-production. Hotels take a long time to wear out, but in the late 1920s they were being constructed almost as if they were wearing out as fast as automobiles. The life of the hotel promoter, pro-moter, who played civic pride against civic pride, was a happy one." "By 1933, when depression had done with them, no less than 81 per cent of the nation's hotels were defaulting o n their capital obligations." FORTUNE MAGAZINE, March, 1944 "Since 1934, hotel profits have been consistently below the earnings of all other corporations, according to Harris Kerr, Forster & Co. and Horwath & Horwath, accounting firms specializing in hotel work." NATION'S BUSINESS, July, 1944 e The present owners -of the Roberts Hotel purchased the Roberts in 1919 for One Thousand Dollars per guest room. W e found no other hotels comparable for sale at that for less than Two Thousand D ollars per room. We also considered the alternative of building a new hotel in Pro vo, but found that the cost would be around Three Thousand Dollars per room with the Roberts and other smaller hotels still here to compete with. We decided that a new hotel in Provo would be sure to fail. Subsequent Sub-sequent events proved that a new hotel would have failed badly. I know of few hotels to pull through the depression without foreclosure or reorganization excepting small hotels that were manager owned. Soon after our arrival in Provo we had Ware and Treganza, Salt Lake architects, archi-tects, plan a thirty room addition to the R oberts. When bids were called for and received we found that the cost of such an addition without basement, heating plant, dining room, or any of the other accessori es of a hotel, would cost as much as we had paid for the sixty-six room Roberts Ho tel furnished and complete. Also, by the time bids were received, World War One boom had begun to subside and we had vacancies four and five days a week. In 1926, the fifty room Lamar Hotel closed up and has not reopened. Provo is and has always been a poor hotel town. It cannot maintain more than one fair sized hotel and this on no luxurious scale. We must cater to all classes of people and keep our rates down to haVe a hotel at alL Don't gamble on a promotion sche me that has an unequaled record of failure throughout the country. No Chamber of Commerce hotel has paid on the original investment. The safest investment opportunity right now is War Bonds. Buy them and wait. Mark' Anderson Manager, HOTEL ROBERTS 1 |
