In expressing to you my heartfelt gratitude let me say that I do not consider this as merely a partisan honor. As I. stated before my election, it is my purpose to be .governor of all the people, irrespective of race, creed, color or political affiliation. The dffice of governor should be above any thought of partisanship and I shall endeavor to keep it so. The people of Utah at the recent beliefs on election showed that-theiin acwere national problems' great cord with practically all of the people of the west- and with .a majority of the people of the United States. The people of every section of the state appear tobe "almost unanimous in .their declaration on state problemsThe coming state - administration goes into office with the endorsement of practically every county in the state. To my mind it is significant that every member of both branches of the state legislature chosen at the recent election is pledged to the same reform. of legislative program Whereas in come counties the independent voters chose local officers of different political beliefs, they invariably selected for the state legislature members" known to be in exact accord with the policies to which the coming state administration is com-- - central highways, with - -- a- Fzra Hutch, South Bountiful. tains treasures of metals and hydroThomas Parker, Clinton.
