Show "Gosh, Chum, Life's Dull Since They Put You Away!" Once News Now History Baering Down' On the News By ARTHUR "BUGS' BAER If all those campaign charge! are true how can the winner stay out of Jail? Taken from the files of th Provo Herald PR6V6, UTAH COUNTY, Is Tuesday UTAH, off-ye- ar register. In the past too many of our people have shamefully neglected this the greatest of 5ur responsibilities and obligations. This is shown in statistics which reveal that in 1948 only 51.2 per cent of the potential 95,000,000 voters exercised their right to vote. Our record has grown worse in the last 50 years on this score. In 1916 83 per cent of the potential voters participated in the general election, a much better showing. It is true that in the 1948 presidential election there were 48,680,416 votes cast, but this total, imposing as it may seem, was actually less than the aggregate vote of only 16 states. This indicates a lack of interest which could destroy our government. The alibis used by the indifferent don't hold water as a rule, on close examination. Sometimes such a person will cover up his neglect with a crack about politics being dirty business. That may be true, but the remedy for this is greater voting participation, not.less. We have beard some people complain that they are confused By all the contradictions, mudslinging and smearing, a technique in our American life lately exploited to the fullest by Sen. Mc Carthy of Wisconsin. There is a lot of truth in such complaints, but the trouble can't be corrected by still more people staying away from the non-vote- rs polls. The trouble with some people is they don't like to be bothered with making up their minds and making a choice, then going to the polling place to mark the ballots. So they fail to vote, as a sort of protest against the confusion they find themselves in. The person who fails to vote Tueswill have to be pretty well insulated day one of the best organized camagainst in history to get out the vote. For paigns weeks and weeks, readers of newspapers and magazines have been implored to heed the injunction: "Voting is Everybody's Job." The press and radio have joined in the campaign. Even the Boy Scouts have been drafted to do their bit in getting out the vote. h Both major political parties have highly organized machines designed to reach into every voting district and check off every individual voter between now and 'election day.

May Have a Test Of Corrupt Practice Act Laid On His Doorstep By DREW PEARSON WASHINGTON Shortly after elections kindly U. S. Attorney General H6ward McGrath may have a test of the corrupt practice act laid on his doorstep which he isn't going to appreciate. The corrupt practices act was passed in order to prevent candidates for public office from spending huge amounts of money, thus making it difficult for a poor man to be elected. However, candidates have got around the act by claiming they had no control over friends or independent committees who spent money for them without their knowledge. They could not be responsible, they said, for money which boosters spent behind their backs. Thanks to this dodge, thousands of dollars are being spent by both Democrats and Republicans in what is obviously a violation of the corrupt practices act. And not since hard-hittiAlex Campbell left the justice department has there been any real attempt to prosecute. . In Wisconsin, however, there is now evidence of a clear-cviolation by Congressman Alvin O'Konski. already famous for his nepotism, his income-ta- x finagling and his payroll juggling. I SMOKESCREEN FOR SS Officially, O'Konski spends little money on his election campaigns. His chief electioneering has been done by the "Veterans for O'Konski" club, which has spent money heavily. President of the "Veterans for O'Konski" club is Wendell Johnson. And it now develops that Johnson is on O'Konski's congressional payroll in Washington for $218 a month. Actually Johnson doesn't work in Washington. He remains in Merrill, Wis., where he has an office at WLIN, the radio station owned by O'Konski, and has been the station manager. This dispels any fiction that the congressman doesn't know what Johnson as president of "The Veterans for O'Konski" club is doing and how much money the club is spending. As a direct employee of the congressman, drawing a salary paid by all the taxpayers, the usual dodge for violating the corrupt practices act blows up in smoke. Note Attorney General McGrath has had a clear-c- ut case of salary kickbacks against O'Konski for months but has failed to prosecute. The congressman put members of a weekly newspaper staff in Hurley, Wis., on his congressional payroll, thereby reimbursing them for the purchase price of the paper. Thus the taxpayers actually paid for the purchase of O'Konski's newspaper. However, it looks as if the justice department only likes to prosecute congressmen who have gone after Communists such as J. Parnell Thomas. TELEVISION Years Ago Southern Utah Entitled To Supreme Court Justice resentation. Southern Utah voters, Including all of our own couty are in a position to do something about it, however, when they go to the polls Tuesday. One of the two candidates for justice of the 'supreme court on the ballot is Joseph E. Nelson of Spanish Fork, judge of the Fourth district court for six years. His opponent is from Salt Lake City. Regardless of party affiliations, southern Utah voters should mark their ballots for Judge Nelson and thus help to insure representation for our part of the state on the supreme cottrt. Election of his opponent would mean that the entire court of five justices will be Salt Lake City men. This would be decidedly unfair to the rest of the state. While Salt Lake City is the capital of the state, no one claims that it possesses a monopoly on the legal brains. Judge Nelson has a fine record as a member of the legal fraternity, and a district and juvenile judge. He was admitted to the bar in 1923 served in World War I and has been prominently identified with the American Legion. He has served two terms as president of the Utah state bar and seven years as a member of the board of bar commissioners which shows he is held in high esteem by the members of his own profession. Judge Nelson has always taken the stand that a court must be maintained as a citadel of liberty and a bulwark of justice; a place where facts are made known, truth established and the law fairly and justly determined and applied without fear of reprisal or hope of reward. He deserves your support at the polls next Tuesday. The American way of doing things is a combination of southern cooking, western hospitality and! eastern retaliation.
