This delegation went uninstructed, but will return tagged to some candidate for the nomination of el George Southworth, re- sportsmens gathering at Geneva, and as real entertainers they copped the prize. Their old time tunes made a big hit and their fishing stories of long, long ago caused many regrets. How did they get acquainted ? Well it was like this: Joe Eastman was fishing off Pelican Point about fifty the biggest years ago; he hooked trout ever seen in the lake. He was fishing from a light skiff and the fish pulled him and the skiff across the lake to the mouth of the Provo river. Sitting on the banks there, were cent . Phillips and Robt. South-wortThe fish started up the river, then got tangled in the lines of the two fishermen and between the three the big fellow was landed. The fish George POLITICAL COMMUNICATION. John L. McNab, of California, has been chosen to make the nominating speech for Herbert Hoover at the Kansas City convention next Tuesday. McNab, who never spent a day in college, is not only an orator, but an accomplished lawyer, and a leader in the Republican party. MR. EDITOR: In your issue of June 2 appears an article under the caption The Democrats will hold their state convention at Logan August 25, where h. nominations for state senator and all state offices will be made. At this convention there will be 643 delegates and Chairman Draper expects a lively Gl of Truth or Slander, concerning me. It seems to have become the fashion to publish articles of this kind. A few months ago some of our dailies published an article under the caption of Can This Be True? 0 C1W OKI FOR 10 SOLID DAYS WE GIVE OUR PROFITS TO YOU To introduce the largest Camp Goods Department between Denver and Los Angeles chuck full of everything you need to make your outing more comfortable Tents, Cots, Beds, Stoves, Chairs, Stools, Ice Boxes, LantcDms, Camp Packs, Etc. COME IN TODAY (high-grad- e) at lowest prices in the city I have not seen an answer to any of these articles, and in all fairness to me, ask that you publish this letter, which is an answer, to both articles: The writer cannot understand why the challenge is given to prove my articles under the cognomen of Veritas. Enough time has elapsed for our public officials to make some move to contradict them, as the proving part does not lay with the writer but with those who caused such items to be put on public record. It is an old saying Fishing Tackle 11 that silence gives consent or, in other words, proof of guilt. Mr. Editor, in October, 1517, a young man disgusted with the fraud, graft and corruption alleged to have prevailed at that time, copied from Holy Writ and nailed his thesis upon the church door at Wittenberg, Saxony. The result was an overthrow of the whole system of graft and corruption. It is the vibration of those hammer strokes that made it possible to establish the government we are living under now. At this time when graft, fraud and corruption prevail, the writer has copied his thesis from the public records of our city, which records should be as sacred to us in this city as Holy Writ. I do not feel to profane this answer to you, Mr. Editor, with any figures copied from the city records made by these men, who have appar-entdefiled the best government ever given to the people. of our city, as the record of the first eight years proves. Only this I will say, I have no apology to make, no retraction, nor will I recant any of my published articles; the burden is on the other side; I fear them not. In conclusion, I will quote from an oration delivered 65 B. C. by Marcus Tullius Cicero to the Roman senate at a trial: A wise man never feels uncertain on any point, never repents of anything, is never deceived in anything, and never alters his opinion. Veritas. SOURCE OF POWER Some men get somewhat inflated ideas of their own power to drag home the bacon. Here is a story which illustrates our point. An ant was standing on the body of a dead horse. Overhead the sun was beating down pitilessly from a clear sky. The ant looked at the carcass wonderingly. Suddenly a man dropped some underground still whiskey near the ant. The ant sniffed the fumes, wiggled his antennae, and hummed a little ditty. He then drank one of the drops of whiskey. He licked his chops. His head swam, his eyes blurred. His antics became spif-fHe shivered his thorax and shimmied his antennae. Then he took another drink. Seizing the carcass of the dead horse by its head he said: Come on, big boy; lets go home! y. HAM AND EGGS. Ham and eggs still leads as America's most popular breakfast dish, according to Paul Reiss, supervising chef for Southern Pacifics dining car and commisary department. Travelers on the companys trains and ferry boats during 1927 consumed no less than 384,750 platters of this premier delicacy. Fine ham, Reiss said, is always fine ham; but an egg that was fine two weeks ago has become too. much of a veteran for dining car needs. In keeping with the companys reputation for speedy transportation, the dining car egg must be scheduled to reach the consumer not more than twenty-fou- r hours' after the hen has performed her duty. Why dont you attend church? asked the minister to a non-attenda- nt. Well, Ill tell you, sir.
