Show fAClk VS. SENTIMENT Reasons Why Cache Voters Should Support Hon. Jos. Howell. ' W. II. KING COULD DO NO GOOD In a Congress that Is Overwhelmingly Repub- llcan.-As a Democratic Representative He Would Not Be Recognized. I Miin Democratic otcrs in Cache county rceogniro In Hon. Jos. Howell a playmate of boyhood dajs, a companion com-panion In sports and names, a school chum, and In maimer jeais a man whom they hac welcomed to their firesides us a personal friend to themselves; them-selves; a man who has many times bo-jfrlcnded bo-jfrlcnded them when a fiiend in need was a friend lndcedja man whom they have watched grow fiom boyhood to manhood and in wliosc advancement they have felt a personal interest; and many there aie of these same Democratic friends who will lcmem-Iwr lcmem-Iwr these things and will penult their friendship to stem the tide of lildc-iwund lildc-iwund partisanship and cast a otc for their friend, Hon. Jos. Howell. Mr. Howell will appreciate this Of course, but neither lie nor the Rcpub-llcan Rcpub-llcan paity desire to make this an Issue Is-sue in the piescnt campaign. There ; is no disposition to urge upon the vot-f vot-f ers of Cache county sentimental lea-h lea-h sons as to why they should vote for M the Republican nominee there is a X better reason, the best reason why iR they should do so, and wc have sulll-to sulll-to clcnt confidence in the Intelligence of B Cache county voters to believe tliat LJK they can and w ill see that it is to their rB advantage and to the glory of Cache ' county and the Statu ot Ui.i? that S they cast their votefoi 1U' Joseph 9 Howell. J ' In the Hist place, all that is lalmed (wf for the J)cinocratIc nominee, V. II. King, is that he Is "a brilliant orator, M a gentleman and a scholar." It Is 'M urged that these iiuallllcatlons would I sec me for him the attention of our 'M Congressional body and enable him to ;jt secure for the State of Utah many ad-I ad-I f fcntagcy unobtainable by a man pos-i pos-i - sussing jqual or more ability but in a less aluiwy degree. We aie willing to $f grant to King all the viitues and i qualifications his most ardent friends claim for hhn, but though he possessed pos-sessed ten times tho qualifications in ton times greater degree he could and would command no mote attention in our Congressional body than tho least of those who vote for him. Those people who ate familiar with the manner man-ner In which national business Is conducted con-ducted know that speeches befoic the Congressional body are of little moment, mo-ment, and unless made on some fea-y.. fea-y.. tuic that Is veiy Important and by J& some speaker of national fame, aie M seldom listened to by either Senators $V or Representatives. And the one fea-gj fea-gj t ure that must and will Impiess itself j upon the minds of Cachocounty voteis M is that it is useless to send any man to 9 Congiess who is not in line with the m administration, be that man ever so itt brilliant and eloquent. An able man jf might be listened to, but eveiy voter H knows that the administration is not 31 granting any fa vois to men who aie jl opposed to the administration. The rf Republican leaders, committees and f party managers in Congiess aro favor- iing only thoc Representatives and Senators who uphold tho admlnlstra-t4wi-not those who seek to tear It dwfn and as a consequence Judge King's requests and speeches in be-! be-! half of Utah would count for less than i nothing. These aro plain facts and H .Democrats will reeognizo them as facta and voto accordingly. What Is the use of sending to Congress a man who can not and will not be recognized? recog-nized? Although Hon. Jos. Howell Is tho equal of W. II. King In breadth and capacity of mind, as a politician, us a moral gentleman, and superior as a man of varied and successful business experience, gi t fi : tho sake of argument argu-ment that compailson of the two men uvsultsas unfavorably to Howell as tho J)cmociatlc press would have us believe, be-lieve, yet with all this Mr. Howell as the Republican Ilepicsentatlve could and would command in five minutes I moro attention and more favors In be-P be-P half of Utah than AV. H. King could becuro during a whole term us repre-hentative. repre-hentative. These ate facts, lion. I Joseph Howell Is on the tight this of I the fenco when It comes to asking for anything Utah may want and W. 11. ,, I Kint, is on tho vvioug sldo. If tho Democrats weie In tho saddle at J Washington, the case would be reversed re-versed and Mr. Howell would be of little moment but the Democrats are not In power and will not bo in power for a long while to come, so why should the voters of Cache county and of Utah for that matter, send to Congress Con-gress W. If. King when they must rcalle that lie would be of no earthly use thcie. Why not vote for Hon. Joseph Howell a man who Is capable of representing the State as ably as W. II. King and at the same time a man who can easily command those things which King can not touch. |
