Show MARCUSSEN WANTS COOLIDGE. A. Marcussen, state Republican chairman, has his way, President Coolidge will be a visitor in this city before he returns to Washington from his Dakota summer home. The president has intimated that he may be a spectator at the big Wyoming roundup, where the wildest wild west show on earth is held annually, and should he accept the invitation to be present, Mr. Marcussen believes the President can be induced to continue his trip south to see the wonders of Zion and Bryce canyons. No doubt he has already been shown some pictures of the wonderful scenery by our Senator Reed Smoot, and there is no question but what he would like to see the original wonders of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. If the President did not feel inclined to make the trip by automobile, the Union Pacific train will take him to the front door of these natures scenic wonders. Marcussen believes that the west should show everything it has to the President while he is visiting in this part of the country, and he will not regret his visit; besides he will meet people who are overwhelmingly Republican in their political belief, and if he decides to run again most of us will vote If Carl for him. UNITED STATES ON TOP. Less than a month ago, the United States was looked upon as a poor finisher in the aerial race for supremacy, but today our heroes have conquered both. oceans by the most wonderful performances in flying in the short known hi story of flying. Colonel Chas. A. Lindbergh won world fame by his daring flight from New York City to Paris, making the trip all by himself with barely enough food for the trip. He flew straight as the arrow from Roosevelt field, his native shores, to Le Bourget field, near Paris. He immediately became an in- ternational hero. While still Lindys praises are sung and the world is talking about him, Lieutenants Lester J. Maitland and Albert Hegenberger flew from San Francisco to Honolulu. Another victory for Americans. A few hours later, Commander Byrd, the first man to fly around the North Pole, with his crew landed in the sea, 175 miles from Paris, Le Bourget Field, where Lindbergh landed, flying across the Atlantic ocean without a stop. Clarence Chamberlain and Charles Levine, who flew from New York to within a hundred miles of Berlin, are touring Europe, via the air. Thus all worlds airplane records were tumbled in a heap and new marks set up for long distance flights, and all of them accomplished by Americans. Today America stands at the top in flying and the eyes of the world are turned toward us, and the talk is of us and our marvelous performances with our flying machines, and conclusively proves our big advancement in SALT LAKE CITY SA TURDA Y, JUL Y 2, 1927 |
