Show A FEW SHOTS HERE ANDJHERE Chairman llcano sajs the drift towards Cox Is assuming tremendous proportions. Franklin D. Roosoclt said some tlmo ago that there was n tremenodus swing towards Cox. Wu think both gentlemen nro telling the ttuth, but tho swing Is on tho same order nB that In which Maggie swings at Jlggs, with sleeves rolled ulgn nnd fists doubled up. If a few moro collego presidents como out agnlnst President Wilson's Leoguo of Nations, tho Republicans party will have all of the professors except, ot courso, the President. It Is reported that at a political rally at Clarkston, or somewhere on the west sldo, Commissioner Moses Thatcher said "I am the guy that raised your taxes.'' It I s likewise reported that at a meeting of Stato Board of Equalization when the state ment was mado that tho farmer would "rage" over tho general Increase In-crease of taxes that Chairman B. H. Roberts said "Lot tho farmer rage; I llko to fight an angry man." It Is also said that Commissioner Thatcher Thatch-er at about tho samo tlmo that Chairman Roberts Is reported to have mado tho nbovo statement, said In speaking ot tho farmers taxes, "Screw 'em. up. Screw 'em up." If these gentlemen havo been correctly repbited It should bo said right hero and now that they should bo commended com-mended for their candor. "An honest hon-est confession Is good, for the soul." Tako your tax notice to Jho polls. t Some follow mude the statement tho other day tnat tho Logan War Chest was going to offer nt public auction, forty acies of Its possessions In western Ilox Elder county. Tho land camo Into tho possession of tho Wnr Chest as a contribution of n certnln rich man who held a piomlji-ent piomlji-ent position In tho Dempcratlc party of tho county, as woll aH In tho wnr council. It wns wild, uncultlvntca and useless at tho tlmo, but It Is to bo hoped that It may bring a fewdollars now. Fritz Is a young man, you know, and ho should, remember that thero Is such a thing as convicting ono self. Everybody who knows him, however, would not for ono moment list him among tho "loungo lizards" that constituted tho "Second army of tho Potomac.'' If per;hanco thero should ho ono, his tine pedlgreo as catalogued by himself ' dispels all such thoughts or Intentions. Ills dally associations with tho thousands of messengers and door keepers, and swivel chair officers with proper credentials cre-dentials as to their standing with the elito, who fought tho war with red ink at mahogany desks near tho shadow ot tho Washington monument monu-ment rather than In tho Argonno and St. Mlhlel sectors, and who received a Dlstlgulshed Service Medal at tho hands ot Pacifist Baker who thanked God America was unprepared, whllo tho boys constituting tho rank and tllo ot this great country and without with-out "pull" fought and won tho war, could not contamlnato Fritz. Oh, no, Fritz, It Is not necessary for you to say you aro tho Bait of tho earth. While It Is frequently tho hit bird that "flutters," everybody knows that you aro alright. But say, Fritz, what will Hoover do now that you have gone back on him? You charge him with doing tho "flip flop", Just another word for a turn coat. Da you think he will survive tho chargo? Perhaps he will call you a naughty I boy for calling him names. Eh, Mr. Frederick Champ, H " i 1 Tho Utah Supreme Court says "E H cry candldnto for public oQlco is ', 9 amenable to public and prlvato crltl- M clsra because tho com- jfl munlty hns a right and It is to Its fl Interests to know tho character, hab- ' ts, mental and moral qualifications , of Its public servants. Undoubtedly ' for this reason, tho freedom of the , press was Intended to bo secured and " a newspaper has the samo right as s a prlvato individual to discuss the character and qualifications ot a candidate for office." It Is tlmo for the voters to bo checking up on tho candidates beforo them for election. If thore are any tight wads that de- . sorted the peoplo In tlmo ot need they nro unfit to represent a loyal peoplo. Tho moetlng at which Senator Don B. Colton, candidate for Congress, was to spoak at Lowlston Third ward (Continued on Pago Eight) I 4 -yj AFEW SHOTS HERE AND THERE (Continued from Pago One) Tuesday evening, wag postponed on account of tho storm. Tho roads In Lowlston off tho main road nro almost al-most Impassable. Tho people are turning out splendidly splen-didly to tho rallies, that is, to tho Republican rallies, and wo hopo they nro to tho Democratic rallies. This Wilson League of Nations will no't stand lnvestlgaton, nnd wherein It can bo put before tho pcoplo the verdict Is sure. J "Well Cache County" says D. H. I ilobcrts, chairman of tho Bamberger I Board of Equallatlon, who runs 'one I t tho sovcnty-flvo automobiles that! tho Bamberger administration has Invested in. Cacho county voters will tako their tax notices to tho polls. i i i Wouldn't It Jar you how some young hopeful Is always rising up and saying what his dad would do If he were only hero. Why not do it yourself. This way of wanting "Qcorgo" to do It Is all bunk. God hates a coward, anyway. Major Charles R. Mabey, soldier, statesman nnd next governor of Utah, will bo In Logan next week. Watch" for tho date and hear the man who was not afraid to fight. Tho Republican commends tho statement of Attorney lloj D.Thatcher, D.Thatch-er, candidate for District Attorney on the Dcmociatlc ticket. It Is a plain statement of fact, and anyone who knows Roy D. Thatcher knows that ho will always respect and honor a trust Imposed upon him by tho pcoplo. While wo nra sup- -US porting Roy B. Young for District Attorney, nnd want to seo him elected, elect-ed, we are pleased to say tho above in behalf of Mr. Thatcher. Our Democratic neighbor need not lay awake o'nights on this "don;t start anything1' business. As far as wo aro concerned wo repeat, little ones, you may take your own course "start anything" you llko nnd wo will take caro of It. You began by throwing Insults at prominent men on (ho Republican ticket. Wo checked check-ed you up. We aro ready to defend tho Republican candidates, as well as tho loyal ones on tho Democratic ticket, for that matter, against attack. at-tack. So proceed, tako your course. We have tho goods ready for delivery. deliv-ery. In the Journal last evening wo noto what it says with reference to a certain traveling man who called call-ed at twenty-five Republican newspaper news-paper offices In Utah and Idaho for a copy of the League of Nations and was unable to find a copy of the covenant at any of the offices. We wonder how many Democratic newspapers news-papers were called on by this same gentleman and we wonder If he would havo found a copy of the Leaguo of NattonB In any of the Democratic newspaper offices in this or any other state. Wo will say In conclusion that Mr. Traveling Man did not call at this oQco and ask for a copy of tho Leaguo of Nations without recolvlng one. Wo have a number on file and are not proud of tho document. |
