To mmy': FBS&mf Map Mt9 wfcaSo to w&te for Like you, we're Republicans. We're proud of it. At election time it's usually our inclination to speak up for Republicans and vote for them. Sometimes, though, we move to an honored Utah custom when we go to the polls. We vote a "scratch" ballot. A lot of thinking people do. We think "scratch" voting is essential to Good Government. "Scratch" voting, of course, means standing by our party's candidates in most cases, but voting for an exceptional candidate from another party. We believe that Wayne Owens is an exceptional candidate. We're supporting him for governor. Since he's a Democrat and we are Republicans, we had to think twice about it.

Jobs and businesses are intended as enhancements for the quality of life of families and individuals. Most of them perform that way. When they turn outlaw, when' they exploit people, when they practice fraud, government has a clear responsibility to act quickly. Utah's incumbent Attorney General has failed his responsibility. We need a new one: a competent, experienced prosecuter. Now, we're asking you to think twice. Then, when you get the itch to vote for Wayne Owens, we're inviting you to "scratch."
