THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES confidence born of a duty well performed, the Republicans Lake City and county, in convention assembled Monday and ith It the present week, placed in nomination for the state and the house of representatives men and women of charac-i- f sound business principles and of sterling Republican worth, estate ticket, like the county ticket, was selected premeditat-an- d with full knowledge, before hand, that the candidates will their public service strictly in accord with the best interests state and county and with the highest regard for those Re-- n principles, which have been so evident during the past two when a Republican state and county administration succeeded bilitating a tottering structure, almost wrecked by the lustful of the Democrats which has succeeded in maintaining tax at a normal level and has liquidated a large portion of the enor-deinto which said Democrats plunged the state and all y of e e 5 bt politi-ib-divisio- ns thereof during their eight-yeorgy of unhampered unchecked insane spending and an abortive at-- t to construct such a mighty machine that the political destinies e entire state would remain indefinitely in their hands. The ties that bind so carefully and so diligently built up and red for a full eight year period, were ruthlessly broken, uncere-iousl- y thrust aside in 1920, when an aroused public went to the to administer a deserved rebuke to a dominant party that had en all records for kiting taxes, had looted the national and state uries and left the people burdened with a debt so gigantic that e generations must slave to pay it in full. And as a fitting climax eir insane domestic policies, had endavored to trade the sover-righ- ts of the American people for a mess of foreign brewed portsar tax-gatheri- ng, - the test of strength as between those who would tear u what has been accomplished the past two years, as between is who would open wide the founts of the public treasury to an miasma of reckless spending and contingent and pledged to close the leaks and to the espousal of the fullest be-- ! 5ures of civic economy, not only imminent, but actually Again T is tax-gatheri- ng, us. national aspect of the political battle of the coming fall is Mged in the same old Democratic policy of vilification, lies and Active tactics. Lacking a definite policy the party slogan is now nullification of those great things Republicanism has brought to ton in the short space of two years and the further sacrifice and ng of American dollars in behalf of foreign peoples whom, it ars, just so long as Uncle Sam bears the burden, will make little 0 effort countries. 1 hus it at all to rehabilitate their war-tor- n 0ves the several states to send to the national senate and to the ,nal legislature stalwart Republicans, men of character, possesses love of , country "and the stability to stand for things which made America and the most envied aiid richest nation in great le World. In respect to Utah the crying need of the hour is for a The team in the national senate, where that great political genius, Reed Smoot, labors unceasingly for his state and his country. of a man like Ernest Bam-- , He needs the assistance and berger, our senatorial candidate, who stands head' and shoulders above the candidate of the opposition party, in his knowledge of life of Utah home affairs, in his direct connection with the every-da- y and in his aspirations to serve the people of Utah and. America, rather than to preach the demagogical and dangerous doctrines of foreign entanglements and debt cancellation. There is another crying necessity of the hour, and this is patently bound up in the need for a four horse team in edngress, as7 so aptly stated at. the legislative convention by Chairman Carl R, Marcusen of the state campaign committee. The host of darkness at Washington are hell-beupon perpetuating the wild Wilsonian, policies that were so roundly repudiated by the voters in 1920. For, the time being they have camouflaged their international intentions and have given themselves over to a campaign of vilification against the Republican tariff measure, hoping to so bemuse the voters that a few, at least; of their legislative candidates may sneak over in the rush. Neither their preachments nor their policies have stood the. tests of time and they have now to resort to those same old misleading, befuddling and destructive tactics, which have been the party's slogan since time immemorable. This warning implies that the state of Utah must return E. O.Leatherwood and Don B. Colton to thq national legislature, where they have so signally and so faithfully represented their state the past two years. In selecting Charles Cottrell, Jr., A. B. Irvine and M. Shirley Winder to represent the county in the next session of the state leg-- ; islature, the Republican party has selected not only strong and safe, candidates, but men of exceptional ability in their respective callings. They stand for tried and effective Republican policies of economy;, the fulfillment of the. they stand for a constructive administration-anparty program for deflation of high taxes and the curbing of the in- -' ordinate powers of public commissions. They merit your entire confidence and your vote. For the legislature the Republican party selected a strong ticket, composed of well known business men and women of character and high aspirations. The exceptional balance and the high character of the candidates to the lower house bespeaks a wider sense of duty, a lessened attempt to foist fanatical laws and fantastic measures upon the people and insures that all things possible to conserve the of all the people will be vigorously pushed and sustained. The Citizen can offer no better pledge of the aims and ambitions of the Republican party than to refer to the action of the county convention, which so generously awarded merit, honesty, efficiency and economical official operation, in renaming the entire personnel of the present county officials for another term, and also in adding to that sterling list the name of William H. Stenacker, a successful business man, long associated with and identified in large endeavors in two-hor- se co-operat- ion nt best-interest- s |
