Moved by aiuhonorable-ambitioged disposition climbed from n and a dog to succeed, he has farm boy to school teacher, from teacher to a college degree; thence in swift succession as journalist,, legislator, and a tiigh in the state government, has he risen to prominence in the state of his adoption. JIis remarkable rise in public life is extremely interesting, not from the viewpoint of personal achievement alone, but because it demonstrates that young men who come to Utah, who accent conditions as they find them, who honestly endeavor to attain high position in the community, y who hold high ideals and employ in word and deed, are sure to find a hearty welcome here. It is a story that Utah people could well afford to tell to the multitude of young mgs in the East whose eyes are turning west. hon-est- ward. Mr. Holman was born on a farm in central Pennsylvania, near Millers- towm, in 1884. He Worked on the. home farm in his boyhood, studied nights, and attended the country schools wrhen he could afford the time. He began to teach district school at seventeen and taught two years. With the money thus earned, he set out to pre- -' pare for entering college. One year was spent studying at New Bloomfield academy near his horrfe.

THORNLEV FOR GOVERNOR There seems to be a general misunderstanding as to The attitude of Senator John W. Thornley of Kays-vill- e concerning his candidacy for governor, and just previous to departing for a week's business visit to Nevada, he authorized the editor of The Weekly Reflex to Jnake the following state- ment: Senator Thornley is not a candidate for governor in the sense that he will enter the convention as a, contestant against the field, but he will allow his n, - EASE Layton v state he will firmly and fearlessly back op prohibition legislation, whether in the form of direct legislative nt or constitutional amend- ment.

This announcement and explanation is authorized and requested of the Weekly Reflex by Senator Thornley, and may be taken as unconditional and final. THEODORE L. HOLMAN Theodore candidate for the nomination as congressman from the second congressional district, is the subject of a political "advertisement in this issue of The Reflex. The editor of The Reflex is not ex- tensively acquainted with Mr. Holman, but from the article referred to and from information gleaned from men who know him well, Mr. Holman has much to recommend him to the voters of his congressional district. First of all we admit having a weakness for a man who came up from the farm and prepared himself with a liberal education by his own efforts. We also have a strong fraternal feeling for a man who made good as a newspaper man and figure that the broad conception of men and measures necessary to make good in that particular field peculiarly fits a man to compass and grasp the affairs of office. Ardent Republicans will also appreciate the fact that Mr. Holman has never followed false political gods. nor has it,.beeiL.nece8sary,teJjribe him.back into the party wth the gift of an office. - During the past few years, while Mr. Holman has been making good as secretary to the secretary of state, L.
