Show THE CITIZEN 10 In 1924, Mr. Deni was nominated for governor by the Democratic party, and his nomination was endorsed by Progressive party. He was the , , . only Democrat elected, receiving a majority of between 9,000 and 10,000 votes in spite of the fact that it was a presidential year, in which the Re- -. publican candidate for president car-- . ried the state by a majority of 30,000. Instead of being a swivel chair gov-- , emor he has made it his business to visit every county of the state in or- -. der to gain first-han- d knowledge of the conditions and problems of the various communities. He believes in the future of Utah and is a consistent . " . ; ; booster for her people and her re- sources. In protecting the interests and future development of his state he has taken a conspicuous part in securing Federal legislation granting to , the state the minerals contained in school lands, and in the proposed leg-- ; islation providing for the development , of the Colorado River. JOHN E. HOLDEN SEEKS : tical measures were passed and became law. The bills have resulted in the saving of much valuable time of busy public officials, and have increased efficiency. Claims are now sent direct to the auditors office for checking and certification. They are sent to the state board of examiners on a large readable sheet, whereas they were handled individually under the old laws. Mr. Holden introduced bills budgeting the district school fund, fish and game fund, road commission and securities commission funds. The appropriations year was changed through the activity of Mr. Holden, and it is now the same as the fiscal supporters to his banner throughout the State. It is conceded that Johnny, if nominated, will be elected. He is popular, a vote getter and what is more, he is well qualified for the job which is one of the most important in the cle of State. John would bring to the office the benefit of a world of experience as the result of his long association with banking and financial institutions. He is well and favorably known in Weber County political circles. For the past three and a half years he has held the office as State Treasurer and has had custody and control over all state securities and monies. This of- fice has ac- - made him intimately supreme court on the Republican ticket. Mr. Folland was bom in Salt Lake December 5, 1877, and has lived here all of his life. He was educated in the Salt Lake public schools, the Latter-day Saints college and the Uni- versity of Utah law school. Prior to engaging in the practice of law he acted as official reporter in the Third Judicial District court. May 9, 1910, he was admitted to practice law in the state courts and soon thereafter to the United States District court and the supreme court of the United States. Since 1917 he has acted in the capacity of city attorney for Salt Lake City, having been appointed ft, . suc- - -j J 1 TREASURE. I JOHN E. HOLDEN, state auditor, is ; l I i ; an active candidate for the Republican nomination for state treasurer, and carries the best wishes of those who know his qualifications and at-- ; tainments. It is predicted on all sides that he will be nominated without any difficulty, as his record of public ser-- . vice is outstanding. Mr. Holden has served his state in public office, and his government on ithe battlefields of France, with equal credit to himself and the people. As a soldier he was the very personifica-- , tion of courage, and was decorated for valor. As an auditor he has proved himself intelligent and efficient, and :has won the admiration of account- he , ants on all hands. As a party man !has served the Republican party with faithfulness and activity. Among his records of performance in the office of auditor, was unceasing energy in behalf of the state at the time of the meeting of the legislature, with the result that many prac- ! j ! ! i i No Merchant needs to deprive his business of the benefit of a National Cash Register because of price.

Mr. Holden was one of the outstanding heroes of the world war. A mem- quainted with the work of the entire state administration. The friends of John Walker feel they have a man eminently well qualified for the office which he seeks. ber of the Seventeenth Field Artillery, he was wounded many times, and DEAN OF THE BENCH bears his wounds today. He was decorated for valor. Four years ago he was the feature of the state election. He was nominated by an overwhelming vote in the delegation. He led his entire ticket by 6,790 votes. He led his opponent by 26,883 votes. The Constitution of Utah forbids the state auditor from having a second term. Mr. Holdens friends point out that the office to which he should naturally seek election is that of the state treasurer, and this he is doing. His familiarity with the office of state auditor well equips him for the new post. Morris L. Ritchie, presiding judge of the Third Judicial District Court, is a candidate for renomination on the Republican ticket. Judge Ritchie has been a resident of the State of Utah for thirty-seve- n years, coming here from Illinois. For more than twenty years he has served as District Judge, a longer period than any other man in Utah. During his regime he has occupied the bench in every judicial district in the state, either at the call of the Governor or by invitation of the judge of the district. Judge Ritchie has tried many important civil and criminal cases, some of which have received nation-wid- e attention because of the wisdom of the decisions rendered. He has filled his post with honor and justice and his past record proves, beyond any doubt, hig capability of carrying on in the important position he now holds. JOHNNY WALKER FOR SECRETARY the present is making a run for the office of Secretary of State that has placed him well in the foreground for the nomination to that of- JOHNNY WALKER, fice at the forthcoming Republican State Convention.
