Show So the People May Know BE SURE TO VOTE TUESDAY Next Tuesday is an important day for the people of this state. It is the day for the run-off primary for the final selection of candidates for the November election. In fifteen counties the names of Arthur V. Watkins of Orem and William L. Baker of Provo, formerly of Orem, will be the only ones on the ballot. In other counties coun-ties of the state there are some local contests either on the Democratic or Republican tickets. In the second congressional district there is a contest con-test for the Republican nomination for congressman. The candidates opposing each other are Attorney William Wil-liam Dawson of Layton, Davis County and of Salt Lake, nd Lee Neff Taylor Salt Lake attorney and businessman. business-man. Both of these men are well qualified for the position posi-tion and have strong support throughout the four counties coun-ties of the district. In Utah County there is a contest among several democrats for the 2 state senator positions accredited tokthe county. The contestants are Delia Loveridgv, Francis Lundell, Emil K. Nielsen and J. W. Thornton. The primary will take place in all the counties of the state because the U. S. Senator is a state wide position. posi-tion. Citizens should vote at these primaries without fail. They are just as important as the final elections because be-cause if the best men are not nominated the election cannot can-not remedy the situation. Remember to vote next Tuesday. Your sons fought for our country. The least we can do is to vote for it. FEDERAL BUILDING FOR OREM It is time for the people of Orem to be thinking of the Federal Building which will house the Orem Post Office and other federal agencies that will have to operate oper-ate in this territory. ' When this building is erected, it should be built not only for present needs but for future growth. Keep in mind that Orem is destined to become one of the leading cities of the state. It has the location, the climate and all other needed attractions to make it one of the most desirable places in the West. While we are on the question of the Post Office, we should like to go on record as favoring this office on the City Park property. The publishers of this paper sup-ported sup-ported the purchase of the City Park site for the use of the city because it was centrally located and would meet "the needs of the people for a long time to come .both for City Hall purposes and for a park. The location of the Post Office on this property would go a long way to unite all the people of the community. com-munity. It may be that after the first of the year, the Post Office Department will be willing to proceed with plans for a Federal Building in Orem. The business at the Post Office has grown to a point which justifies a much larger building than the place which it now occupies. 0xtm - Mtetsa Stated OREM THE STEEL.

EXCLUSIVE DEALER FRANCHISES FOR OREM DEMANDED BY OREM CHAMBER At a recent meeting of the Senior Orem Chamber of Com merce tne matter or exclusive dealer franchises for Orem was brought up. The vigor of the debate on this subject indicated a need of action. Orem is in the first ten (pos sibly the sixth) city in population popula-tion in the state of Utah, and as such is most certainly entitled enti-tled to exclusive and not sub-dealerships sub-dealerships in autos, refrigerators, refrigera-tors, appliances and kindred items. It was decided to petition peti-tion the manufacturers to consider con-sider that Orem is the closest city to the Geneva Steel plant and has shown the most remarkable remark-able growth of any city in the entire state. This petition should easily contain three to four hundred names of local property owners.
