OCTOBER 26. 1926. (Editorial by V. Epperson) Never since statehood has the Democratic party conceded the office of governor to Ogden and Weber county! Never until this time has ho Republican party conceded the office of governor to Ogden and Weber county ! In all the years since statehood Salt Lake county, or a nearby town, has furnished the governor of tin? state. The matter of furnishing the candidates for the office of governor has become a tradition with the people of that city, until there arc those who actually resent the idea of a governor coming from any other place in the state. In furnishing the candidates for both parties for the office of governor. Salt Lake county wins no matter which party is successful. This year Ogden and Weber county have but half the chance usually enjoyed by Salt Lake county to secure the office for one of her sons William II. Wattis and Salt Lake county is being urged to do her level best to keep the 1 office. The fact that the Republican party has honored Ogden and Weber county by giving to them the candidate for governor should le appreciated, and that appreciation shown by giving to William H. Wattis the largest majority ever rolled up in this county. The Post does not advise the voters of Ogden and Weber county to follow the preachment of Governor Dem to not take their politics too seriously; but asks them to cast their votes for Mr. Wattis and the men who will support him in his office. Politics should be taken seriously this year, for at this time Utah is sorely in need of a big man for governor; and in William II. Wattis the state of Utah is presented with the outstanding business man of the state. lie is without a peer as a citizen and builder. He is a product of Weber county; here he was born; here he grew to manhood; here he married, and here he and his good wife reared their family, e To the fullest extent he is a man. Here he master and became builder a of railroads, irrideveloped decades two he has canals arid For reservoirs. gation his some of character into the greatest transporimprinted tation lines and structures of concrete and steel in America. The monuments of his genius as an organizer and builder stand in the canyons of Utah, the livers of Idaho and the gorges of California. The railroads and tunnels he has built are to he found from Canada on the north to the halls of Montezuma on the south. From the east base of the Rocky Mountains to the golden shores of the Pacific, deserts along the canyon streams and across the sage-cla- d are to be found the creations of this master mind in the non-partis- an self-mad- form of railroads and canals. One cannot journey-east- ? west, north or south from without over Ogden, any railroad, rendering tribute to the builder. His reputation as and man this of genius great a builder has become so great that no great building enterprise is inaugurated that his company the Utah Construction company of Ogden is not asked to submit bids for construction. So great has become his reputation that his of the fellow contractors made him regional Contractors Association of America. Yet in all his activities, through all the years, he has at all times remained steadfast and loyal to Ogden and her people. Through the banks of Ogden he has cleared the vast sums of money which represented the cost of the tremenduous undertakings he has accomplished. More than $100,000,000 has his company passed through the banks of this city, and much of this vast sum remains here to this day. From his activities Ogden merchants and manufacturers have reaped rich profits through the sale of lumber, cement, steel, tools, pipe, machinery, harness, hay, grain, tentage, groceries, clothing, and all manner of supplies which enter into great construction jobs. As a business man, as a hanker, as a fanner, as a livestock rancher he is an outstanding success. In no particular securities is he a Shylock ; nor is he an investor in tax-fre- e Bonds in to an extent other than purchased when Liberty which to prosfunds with need of the government was in is a he ecute the World war.

As a citizen of Ogden he is outstanding. He is one in the social, business, community, of the master-whee- ls and fraternal life of Ogden and Utah. Remember, when you Ogdenites go to the polls that a vote for Wattis is a vote for Ogden, her people and her j ( Gordon, horaldod by thi Ogdon MULCAHY Record in a full page announcement last K'ck ns their master circulation contest man. gave his occupation as a laborer when taken to the police sta- Chamber of Commerce Group tion Sat unlay night on a charge of Returns Thursday Evening drunkenness.

The questionnaire, largely the work of Mr. Bigelow, will secure the following information held necessary in computing tho lelative values of the three proposed projects: Watersheds and water to be affected? Cost of the dams? Land to be served, together with the original and supplemental water supply? Who is to purchase the water, companies or individuals, and how much water will they subscribe for?
