the following corporations were represented by leading officers the tha union pacific railway co tile the oregon short line railway co the denver rio grande railway company the salt laki lak i and utah railway company mountain states tel tel co utah light and railway co utai fuel company no wonder the governor govern or wailes e s third term lie he should a also is 0 wish at ahe same time that lie he were two governor so that he would le be able to accept the gumc numerous olis offee and corporation director oll liim him as lie he has in the past we find the governor in ili the awkward position of 0 being chief exec of the state entrusted with the enforcement of and passing on tile the enactment of banking insurance and coal mining laws and at the same sam time being the president of an insurance company officer of a bank and an all officer of a coal mining company why the bankers and their employees present at this meeting be tor for governor spry when they can transform the chief executive into a banking official the chief executive being ex officio dulcio bank examiner why the insurance company officers and their employees le tor for governor spry when they have bae tran transformed stormed him into president of a life insurance company and have him pass on and enforce the laws tor for regulation ot of insurance companies 1 why the officers of coal companies and public service corpo rations be for governor spry when they have transformed the chief executive who is virtually by his otice ex officio coal mine inspector to lo inspect their mines into a coal company official why the horde of public office holders and their relatives present at this meeting be tor for governor governo r spry so that they and their relatives relative may retain office and the chief ci executives favors ye gods has the state stale of uth utah come to this that its chief executive s office can be used as a recruiting station tor for the appointment of public service corporation officers and their relatives to public office a hot house for the propagation of private corporations po rations and the chief executive used as an instrument for promoting the same why all the special interests which were represented be for governor spry when they have transformed him into a dr bekyl and mr hyde to judge between the people and the companies who hold charters under the state people of utah Is the there any wonder the salt lake tribune c a corporation controlled paper finds it advantageous to support governor spry fo for re reelection election Is there any wonder thomas kearns aud and his associates t ea are willing to spend their thousands in placing spry back in power why not have bave judges pass on their own law ca cases ses when a citizen has a legal dispute with them thein people of utah the post puts the 1 record before you it is up to y you au to judge and decide whether the next governor to be elected shall be for all the people or occupy tho the humiliating position now occupied by our present executive provo post |
