This means that we are for legislation that will be of ' benefit to the majority of the people of this state. . For many years we have ob-' " ' , lators. Through this close observaO' tion we have come to know who is who, and what is what in the legislative halls. We recommend candidates who are safe and sound and ready to defend the rights of the people in all walks of life. Stanley N. Child No more honorable and better qualified man exists in Utah than Mr. Child. This Observer has known him for years. We have watched his good work in and out of the state legislature. Mr. Child served in the state house of representatives during the 1935 regular and special sessions of the legislature. His record on labor and public welfare legislation is 100 per cent favorable. He sponsored House Bill No. 4, amendments to the industrial commission act and to include occupational diseases. He . devoted much time and effort in behalf of this bill. It passed the house but was de feated by reactionaries in the senate. Mr. Child has served us secre tary of the state planning board, and has made a thorough study of the problems of taxes, schools and state institutions. Because of his knowledge of the states problems he would make a most valuable state senator. No doubt all thoughtful voters who have the best interests of the states welfare at heart will vote for Mr. Child in the run-o- ff primary next Tuesday. E. M. Royle State Senator E. M. Royle has six years of legislative experience. He was in the house of representatives in 1933 session of the legis- lature, and in the senate during 1935 and 1937 sessions. He was among the outstanding members who fought the battles of the people. He was constantly on the job looking after the interests of the people of Utah, and has won the admiration and support of all wage workers, farmers, independent business men, the aged, the blind, and the widows and orphans. He is an able legislator, intelligent leader of labor, a good neighbor and a splendid cooperator. He believes that better opportunities should be given to Utah boys and girls in their native state. Senator Royle is a New Deal Democrat and an ardent supporter (Continued on page 2) . , n League Endorsed Candidates . g Jth Uk County ui3t of labors League of Utah meeting Sunday afternoon at 369 South Main street endorsed candidates as follows: E.

Members Already With New Deal Party The Run-of- f Primary Date Is Tuesday, September 27 All Good Citizens Vote (AN EDITORIAL) On next Tuesday, September 27, is the run-of- f primary' election day the first run-of- f ever held in Utah. It will mark another important advancement in the political history of this state. The primary law and its operation is the last farewell g convention system of of candidates for the major political parties of the Beehive state. The first primary on September 3 brought one outstandconclusion and this is that the Republican party became ing a weak political opponent of the Democratic party. There is no doubt about that. The first primary election returns testify to the boss-controll- hand-pickin- ed 1 to this fact. Republicans had a lively contest for the head of the ticket and for the legislature and county offices, but only one G. O. P. ballot was cast, when more than three citizens chose to vote the progressive Democratic party ticket. Because of this sorry plight of the cause of Landon, 4 Lc!.jt5tythgGrtlftrtfatymeW8papers travel implied that the members of their party participated in the Democratic party nominations in order to place on the Democratic ticket weakest candidates who will be easiest to defeat by the reactionary Republican party in the November election. This implication is just so much bosh I It is mere propaganda of the reactionary Republican newspapers. This implication is nothing but a feeble death-bewail of a sick elephant and its handful of mourners. Now come these same Republican publicists and newspapers and practically urge the members of the dying reactionary political party to commit the immoral act go to the runoff primary next Thursday and vote for the nomination of left wing candidates on the Democratic ticket. Thats laughable, indeed I Who are the g candidates seeking Democratic nominations next Tuesday? Can anyone explain? The Democrats cannot, and we are positive the Republican newspapers , d left-win- cannot. Not even the chief mourners of the sick elephant can point their fingers and say, He is the g candidate of the left-win- Democratic party. And, thats that I Now that the chief mourners of the elephant and the reaccity papers to combat an allegedly tionary G. O.

That man is your local, independent grocer. To be sure the chain store advance publicity admits that 70 per cent of the groceries sold in America still pass through his hands. This shows the good judgment of most of our families. When we are short of cash its the grocer who owns his stock who gives us credit. He deserves our support when we have cash to spend. Nor does he feel like adding on to the price of his- - goods for the extra service he renders. He realizes that on six or seven items like milk and butter, there are times wThen the chain undersells him because of their concentrated (not greater) buying power. For this reason he sells some other things cheaper than most chains do. What he would like to have the public consider, but which he hasnt the millions to hire space to set forth is this: When the concen trated buying power forces the price of butter, eggs, milk and (Continued on page 7) , (Continued on Page 8) NEW DEALERS WIN VICTORY IN NEW YORK The defeat of Representative John J. OConnor for Democratic renomination in New York primaries Tuesday was good news to every New Dealer and friend of liberal and labor legislation in all parts of the United States. the OConnor, chairman of powerful house rules committee, held up in his committee much important New Deal and labor legislation. The defeat of OConnor will place at the head of the rules committee a New Deal Democrat. Representative Adolph J. Sabath of Illinois is first in lie for this important chairmanship. James H. Fay, New Dealer, defeated OConnor for the Democratic nomination. Fay also won ;he American Labor partys (Labors League) nomination without opposition. OConnor received the Republican party nomination in the pri Non-Partis- an maries and will face Fay again in November election. A La Follette Wins d race for governor such as Philip F. La Follette has won twice in the last four years appeared certain when complete returns from the Wisconsin primaries disclosed defeat of the antbLa Follette coalition movement. The Massachusetts Democratic primary witnessed a triumphant comeback by former Governor James M. Curley, who won the Democratic gubernatorial nomination from Governor Charles F. Hurley. Curley had accused the governor of having failed to cooperate with the New Deal. three-cornere- UTAH A. F. L.
