Pratt Keeler by Dean T . Bray ton, a Salt Lake attorney and a paat president of tha Utah State Bar Aaan. In a lew short weeks, the voters ol Utah Pratt Kesler, the incumbent, or his Democratic opponent will H serve as state attorney general lor the next two years. The campaign lor this as with all the rest, is accompanied by the inevitable lanlare and hoopla that has come to be a part ol our electoral process. I But, the circus atmosphere If-I aWe, In my judgment, the' '" I only real question of perti- L nence that confronts the Mr. Kesler voters in connection with the attorney generals contest is: Which of the two candidates, by virtue of training, background, accomplishment and demonstrated legal ability, can best seyve as lawyer lor Utahs state government? , will decide whether A. of-lic- - the job of attorney FUNDAMENTALLY, general Is the job of a lawyer. True, the attorney general Is concerned in some ways with administrative policy, and he serves as a member of several important boards and committees. BUT HIS PRINCIPAL purpose is that of being legal tounsel to the various branches, departments and agencies of state government. He Is, in a word, attorney for the State of Utah, and he has all of the power and responsibility which that title Implies. 9 Now that the preliminaries are over and we gird for the main event, 1 hasten to say that I wish nothing but good for my Re- publican opponent. I desire merely to relieve him of the arduous tasks of attorney general. The framers of,, our, Utah Constitution showed great wisdom in providing the attorney general should be an elected official, responsible to the not selected by the people governor. No office is more important to the people of Mr. Utah. Henderson The attorney general in a very practical sense is attorney for the 890.-00people of Utah. I like this analogy. A corporation has attorneys who represent the corporation. These attorneys, in protecting the interests of the corporation, also protect the interests of the corporations shareholders. THE ATTORNEY GENERAL is the states lawyer, and when he protects the state's interests, he is protecting the peoples interests for in a practical sense, the shareholders of Utah are the 890,000 people 0 of Utah. Here are a few examples of how the attorney general as chief legal officer of the state safeguards the interests of Utahns. THE ATTORNEY GENERAL interprets the laws of Utah. And the regulatory statutes of Utah affect every person who works for a living. There is scarcely a business, a job, a vocation, a profession that is not covered by some law subject to definition by the attorney general Insurance, real estate, contractors, school teachers, etc., etc. The workmens compensation laws, protecting workingmen, are probably the best known of such laws.

The jurist Veteran of many criminal trials, spectacular added that any defendant should be given at least one continuance. HE APPARENTLY ignored claims by Estes chief attorney, John D. Cofer, that Estes cannot obtain a fair trial anywhere, in the United Nations because of the widespread news reporting of Estes business affairs. Dist. Atty. R. E. McGowen, whose district includes Estes home town of Pecos 500 miles west of here, doggedly sought to get the trial under way. THE DEFENSE claimed citizens are too well informed about Estes for Estes to be able to find a jury whose members do not have opinions about the case before hearing court testimony.

Tuesday promised the federal government- it would never fix prices, rig bids or restrict, suppress, limit or prevent competition in the sale of heavy equipment used in the generation and distribution of electric power in the United States. - THE SWEEPING CONSENT decree, subject to approval of the U.S. District Court, ended the criminal and civil anti- trust actions brought against the nations largest electrical manufacturer in 1960.
