Show SENATOR W. F. BENNETT ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY FOR REELECTION TO OFFICE "In making formal announcement announce-ment of my candidacy for re-election to the U.S. Senate, I feel there is no need for me to issue a lengthy statement. My personal and political polit-ical philosophy should be well known by now. It is based on my faith in the self-reliance of the people peo-ple of Utah and in the basic principles prin-ciples on which our state and nation na-tion were founded principles which badly need defenders today. "Briefly, those principles are: freedom of the individual, preser- vation of Constitutional government, govern-ment, protection of states rights, elimination of unnecessary federal spending, strengthening the free enterprise system through a reduction reduc-tion of governmental interference, and vigorous opposition to world communism and socialism. "Over the past twelve years, in LliJ carrying out that philosophy, I have cast many votes and supported support-ed many programs, building a record re-cord for all to see. After the voters in Utah review this record during the coming campaign, I hope , they will trust me to represent them in the Senate for six years more. "Because of my strong conviction convic-tion that this record will meet the approval cf the majority of the people of Utah, I further feel that it is not necessary for me to devote space in my announcement to a personal attack on my opponents, as they felt impelled to do with me." |
