Because of the importance of this committees work Mr. Child should be nominated and elected to the senate without any opposition. Mr. Child is serving on the planning board, recovery boartl, art commission, and other important activities of the state. The state senate needs men of Mr. Childs caliber. Nominate him and you will not go wrong. Another worthy aspirant for the senate is Peter S. Marthakis. He is a member of the house of representatives, where he served well. His voting record is beyond reproach. Marthakis is a University of Utah graduate and for the past 18 years has taught mathematics at West high school. His program is adequate old age pensions, general assistance to the underprivileged, encouragement to the establishment and operation of industries to provide employment at good wages and better conditions for labor. During the 21st session of the legislature Marthakis served on many important committees, and his voting record on labor, agriculture, and social welfare bills, is 100 Economic Highlights Happenings That Affect the Dinner Pails, Dividend Checks and Tax Bills of Every Individual.

Nearly every office of public responsibility held by Mr. Rawlins has come to him unsolicited. During the many years when it was hopeless to expect victory at the polls, he continued to serve the Democratic Party with unquestioned loyalty and with no other remuneration than a sense of duty well performed. Among the offices he has held are district chairman for over 30 years, precinct chairman and member of the Salt Lake County Committee. He has acted as delegate to nearly every County and State Convention since the Party was organized in Utah. He is now serving a second term as president of the Sage Brush Democratic Club. Offices of Trust The positions of trust and responsibility to which Mr. Rawlins has been elected or appointed are too numerous even to mention here. It is a high compliment to his capabilities that he was unanimously appointed to finish the un' expired term of Commissioner Edward E. Howe at the time of the latters resignation. It is generally recognized that he has served on the Commission as a 'sound business man and experienced counselor. At the present time, Mr. Rawlins is a member of the Executive Committee of the Utah State Farm Bureau, is president of the Salt Lake-TooeBeet Growers Association, president of the Utah Sugar Beet Growers Association, which has a membership of 8,000. In January, 1936, he was elected and is now servof the National Beet ing as Growers Association, an appointment that is acclaimed as real recognition for Utah. At the time of his appointment to the County Commission, he was also serving as director of the Utah State Poultry Producers Association and as of the State Board of National Recognition His unusual experience and his seasoned judgment in matters of business policy have qualified him to sit in counsel in committees of national importance. Since the election of President Roosevelt, he has been called to Washington on six occasions to confer on matters of legislation vital to agriculture. He has addressed large gatherings of farmers in several western and middle western States. le RECORD-BREAKIN- G Vice-Preside- nt 0cT!
