Show As a matter of course the interest of this convention centered In tho instruction in-struction of delegates to the State Convention and it certainly Is a source of gratification to every good Republican Repub-lican In the county that tho instruction instruc-tion was for Hon. Joseph Howell, Cacho County's candidate for Representative Repre-sentative honors; in fact the gratification gratifica-tion extends to the Democratic ranks, where Mr. Howell has a host of friends. If a Republican Is to rcpre- sent the State of Utah, the Democrats of Cache County would rather have Joseph Howell than any other man In tho State. Mr. Howell was born at Brigham City in 1850 and when quite young moved with his parents to Wellsvllle, of which place he has been a continuous resident. In later years his fellow citizens honored him with the Mayorship of Wellsvllle for three terms, and Joe becamo so popular that Cache County called him forth to higher honors, electing him to serve as a member of tho lower house of tho stato legislature during '84, '80, and '88. He served the county and state with such faithfulness and ability that lie was elected to the State Senate Sen-ate in 18i)8, and is now a candidate for tho nomination of Representative for tho State of Utah. Mr. Howell is known to practically every man, woman and child In tills county as a courteous gentleman of Hlguafaiillltyi and a man worthy of the honors that have been his, and the greater one for which he Is now striving. Tho best wishes of his Cacho County friends, regardless re-gardless of party affiliations, go with him In his battle royal tomorrow. |
