J, From the Second Congressional District, because he has served the people well and has a splendid voting record for the New Deal measures in Congress. He has stood loyally for the humanitarian program of President Roosevelt. Much beneficial legislation to Utah is the result of Congressman Robinsons untiring work in Washington. He now holds the ranking membership in the Public Lands, Irrigation and Reclamation, and Public Lands Committees. He supported and voted for the Wages and Hours Bill, the Public Utilities Act, the Social Security Act, Railroad Employes Retirement Fund Act, Independent Grocers and Druggists Act, Taylor Grazing Act, Soil Conservation Act, the Walsh-Heal- y Act, and many other important measures too numerous to mention.
