Show THE BIGHT TO CHOOSE It "has come to my attention that there are people in Iron County who question why Clarence Clar-ence A. Kirham, Jr., Is affiliated with the Republican Party when his father was elected mayor of Beaver City on the Demochatic ticket. During the latter part of April, Ap-ril, 1966, Clarence A. Kirkham, jr was at our home in Beaver. It was on this occasion that he informed me he might file for the office of Iron County Sheriff. I had never discussed politics with him previously and I asked him which ticket he would run on. His answer was, The Republican Ticket". My reply to Tf that- is vour choice, my only advice is to be a good party member." In the early 1930's I had the opportunity to choose my political politi-cal affiliation and through the years I have never interfered with others in their selection, for the right of an individual to make his own choice makes our two-party system strong. To sum it all up: "Freedom and reason make us men. Take these away-what are we then.' Mere animals." ,TrTTA,, CLARENCE A. KIRKHAM |
