Show Where Is Orton? A few years ago, we in the ranching community had occasion to beg for help from our congressmen congress-men and representatives in an illegal ille-gal water grab undertaken by one arm of the U.S. Government. Senator Orrin Hatch, the champion of Utah, came to our rescue, but where was our Representative Orton-our very own Southern Utah representative? He must have been too busy or too preoccupied or just not interested enough to answer the urgent and continual call of his constituents. Once again, the question must be asked concerning the taking of Utah land for Clinton's so-called "monument." Where is Orton? He is a part of the Democratic Party, yet he had absolutely no influence in-fluence on changing the course of Clinton's astounding actions; as a matter of fact, his party evidently never even though Orton carried enough weight to consult him about the matter when the strategy was being planned. Is this the kind of representation Utah needs? NO!! Utah needs to have someone in that office who will show concern, who will truly represent the people, who will stand up for the rights of Utah, and who is willing to fight for a portion of the West the Democrats have heretofore used as pawns in their game of diversion.
