Show mciwAisivy vs OCT 29 BAMBERGER ADDRESSES VAST THRONG Speaking before a monster crowd that overflowed the ball room of the Hotel Utah, Ernest Bamberger, Republican nominee for United States Senator Wednesday night delivered his first set speech of the campaign. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Young Men's Republican Club. Mr. Bamberger made clear his attitude upon the various important issues of the campaign, came out whole heartedly for protective tariff, attacked Senator Kings record in Congress, assured his audience of loyal support for Senator Reed Smoot and declared he stands unequivocally for law enforcement. Referring to Senator King, Mr. Bamberger said he did not intend to inject personalities into the campaign, but thought it fair and proper that Senator King should go before the people for upon his congressional record. Mr. Bamberger said in re-electi- on part: There is probably no man in this state more broadly loved or widely admired, and justly so, than Reed Smoot, and there is no one in whom the people of this state have greater confidence and for whom they have more respect. What then has Reed Smoot said with reference to the activities of William H. King? 1 Recently at a meeting in this city, at which many of the prominent business and B.iLT ZJKX 0 professional men were gathered Reed Smoot said: I have no more implacable foe in the United States Senate than William H. King; no person in the United States Senate has so continuously annoyed, harrassed or opposed me as has William H. King. No other man in the United States Senate has been so industrious in his efforts to ridicule me and to nullify my vote on the great constructive measures supported by the Republican Administration as has William H. King.' and then, in a voice shaking with emotion, Senator Reed Smoot added: 'Gentlemen, if you have any confidence in me; if you have any appreciation of the work that 1 have done for the nation and for the State of Utah, and if you wish to make it possible for me to broaden those activities and to save me from further embarrassment, annoyance and humiliation in my activities as Senator from this State, you will do everything in your power to defeat William H. King. Let me say at this point that I will not deal in personalities in this campaign. I do not want any office badly enough to blackguard or vilify my opponent in order to gain it. It is a sad commentary on present-da- y conditions that political campaigns should, to a considerable degree, be made up of personal attacks and recriminations. It is only proper, however, that Senator on his King should stand for re-electi- on record. p SALT LAKE CITY, SATURDAY, OCTOBER Jw 27, 1928 L |
