Show COMPARE THE FOUR. Consider the four candidates for the Legislature from Utah county, and compare their standing and ability with those of any other ticket, and you cannot but conclude they are the men for the place, and that with those four In our Legislative halls Utah county will be well represented. A lawyer, a doctor, a merchant and a farmer. No one can dispute that Mr. King is the moat popular man in Utah county for the Legislature. He is in the van of his profession, and w ill be a ready, able and willing legislator. But that body should not be made -entirely or considerably of . lawyers. law-yers. It is highly appropriate there should be some of that profession, profes-sion, but it is known that too many lawyers are almost a curse to legislation. legisla-tion. It is generally conceded that Congress has too many lawyers, and not enough men from the more practical walks of life. The Democrats have nominated a doctor for a place in the Legislature.

A railroad man for many years, but now in business and acquainted with several walks of life, he fills a necessary place in tie Legislature. Now comes the representative of the chief occupation of our county the farmer. Mr. Cunningham knows as much of irrigation, of the wants and necessities of that class as anyone among us. He is a typical farmer, but, Cincinnati's like, has been called from his plow to rule a thriving city. As a member of the city council, as a school trustee, as a farmer, and now as a mayor, may-or, he has been most successful. We agree with the Enquirer that there is no comparison between him and his contestant in the same city. Mr. Cunningham Cun-ningham will get two votes to . the young man's one in their own town, there being that much difference, iv their popularity, li it had aBai ured out before hand there could not have been found four such representative representa-tive men in the county of such diversified diversi-fied talent and ability. The people will approve the Democratic Demo-cratic ticket with their votes on the third of August most emphatically. |
