Show THE CITIZEN 10 The Senatorial Campaign FRIENDS OF ERNEST BAMBERGER ACTIVE IN HIS BEHALF. A PLEA FOR HIS NOMINATION AND ELECTION. America has grown. Weve become a country two thousand miles by three, with Alaska and islands to protect; with more than a hundred million inhabitants, a country of republican institutions, republican government. The past decade saw us emerging, an industrial power of the first magnitude. Our'commerce now encircles the earth. Obliged to compete with other, manufacturing countries, where wages are often only a. third of what they are here, we are yet able to maintain a standard of living that is the envy of the world. To the Republican Party went the task, to it belongs the credit of this transformation. The destinies of our country have been in its hands fifty-tw- o years out of the last sixty-eigh- t. How came we to this goal? By maintaining a protective tariff upon the products of our agriculture and our basic institutions. That tariff represents the difference between profit and. loss. It has enabled the farmer and the manufacturer to make a profit, when without it they would have sustained a loss. It has enabled the tiller. of the soil and the worker in factory to lift themselves above the level of serfs. . . An Old Issue. ' The theory of free trade has permeated, dominated the Democratic Party from its birth to this very day. America has forged to the front with no aid nor. encouragement from this y of a protective tariff, but despite its bitter opposition at every turn. Free trade has been thoroughly discredited, yet Democrats still maintain it. This worn-oold doctrine is still of the warp and woof of the Democratic Party, though, if put in effect, it would have kept us in the rank of second-rat- e nations, though it would send us curling back, if now adopted. Years it takes to build, days to tear down. Halt not, turn not back the hands of the clock. The clock will stop. Either we progress or we let dvilfza-tio- n perish. CITIZEN-VOTER- S: i arch-enem- ut ; We do have problems. What try is without them? The most coun- seri- ous of ours is to maintain, solidify, fortify the supremacy we have gained, by rural betterments, by meeting inevitable readjustments in industry, by improving our trade at home and abroad, so all of us will be secure in the opportunity of earning a decent living, a living that measures up to American ideals, American traditions. Its a business problem that lies immediately before us, but in the end the problem is also intensely human. This is a new and complex age. Where one suffers all suffer. We must look to the welfare of all, and steel ourselves to the task of bringing about our aim. Our Unity. 'merica is a great corporation. xund every one of you is a The stockholders ! mem-Hockhold- er. of an ordinary business corporation select the directors to run the company for them, because, if all of them undertook to manage its affairs, confusion would result.. So it is with our government. Upon you, voters and stockholders, rests the responsibility of choosing the best among you to sit on the board, your board, to protect your interests, to lead this huge company of ours safely ahead. You have right, you must know the record of the candidate, his views, his bent of mind, his fitness for the office he seeks. Otherwise, you cant say whether he is entitled to the confidence he is asking you to repose in him. ' The most sacred of all is a public trust. Search deep into the candidates past, if you would know the man, his capacity to serve you as your agent. Campaign promises are readily made, but only performance counts. His words, however sincerely spoken, are no criterion by which to judge a candidate for public office. But, locking back over the trail he has travelled since cradle days, we may see by it his natural inclinations, his purpose, sustained or unsustained, and chart ourselves his future course. The Senate. It falls to Utahs lot this year to choose a member of the United States Senate. The nation needs, the state wants a man of keen uni sending and round judgment, bom of the experiences of every-da- y life; a man who can and will deal intelligently, fairly, with both agriculture and industry, with labor and capital in their relation to each other, with the divergent 'and interests of the different groups and sections of this large country, with foreign affairs and with world trade; a man who will make himself heard, his influence felt in the councils of the nation. We want a man who will serve America, and Utah no less. The protective tariff, around which the country has rallied, around which she must keep rallying, serves well the interests of this state. It makes for development, without enriching any class. The farmer has benefited by the tariff on wool and sugar and al falfa; the miner, by the tariff on lead. Last, but not least, we want a Republican whose loyalty to Republican ideals is a demonstrated fact. Sound Timber. Ernest Bamberger was bom in Utah. His father came in the days of the pony express. He worked his way up from poverty, making new friends, yet remaining true to the cft-conflicti- ng For his son Ernest he mapped out a hard course. School over, Ernest went to work in his fathers mine, as a laborer. Then he became an engineer, and as an engineer he is respected by his profession, as is Herbert Hoover. Finally old, steadfastly true. came responsibilities of management. I When the tunnel in the Ontario caved in and water flooded in, Hearst quit the mine. Ernest Bamberger opened the tunnel, without the loss of a single life. The mine is now a producer. In the disastrous explosion of a powder magazine at the Daly-Wes- t, men were killed, a score inthirty-tw- o jured. Bamberger ordered the families to be compensated , and not a single suit was tried against the com- pany. A brother framed Utahs compen- sation law. From the first Ernest Bamberger was its staunch champion. Labor knows Bamberger. He stands not only for a living wage, but for a wage with a margin for saving, to educate the children and provide for the future. He has never had a strike. Labor is for him. Himself a farmer and stock-raise- r, he knows the farm problem as only a farmer can. He knows what it means to gamble with the elements and then with the markets. He knows the value to the Utah farmer of a tariff on products Utah raises. National and local leaders of farm organizations give him their hearty support. For twelve years Bamberger was a member of the Board of Regents of the State University. During the war he was chairman of the local Draft Board. Then, without compensation, he served as chief of the material department of the Aircraft Production Board for the United States and her allies. Later, he became a member of the agricultural loan commis sion of the War Finance Corporation. Recognition Comes. The Republican Party has repeatedly recognized his ability and integrity. He is the natioanl committeeman from Utah. He was offered the office of First Assistant Secretary of the Treasury at Washington, and that of Assistant Postmaster General. Responsibility gravitates to the man who can shoulder it. It has been so with Ernest Bamberger. He is of senatorial caliber, and, because he is, his friends among farmers and workingmen no less than his friends in business have induced him to enter the race, to submit his record for the voters inspection and to ask their ERICKSON HAT IN RING. Joseph H. Erickson of Richfield, former district judge in the Sixth jucandidate for dicial district, is also-nomination for the state supreme court at the Republican convention. Judge Erickson is a graduate of the University of Michigan, class of 1898. For many years he practiced law in Richfield, was elected county attorney and later made district attorney. The latter position he held for ten years. In 1912 he was elected district judge, and again in 1920. Judge Erickson is well known throughout the state, not only because of his legal capabilities, but because of his interest in mining and farming, in which occupations he was engaged in his youth. a IIMIMIIIHMf "s THE AUTOMOBILES MOST VALUABLE ACCESSORY Pay as you Ride ONSUEANCE ON THE MONTHLY PAYMENT NPLAa . .
