Show Elect Ernest Bamberger and The Entire Republican Ticket URGES J. REUBEN CLARK, JR. - Urging support for 'the Republican state and national tickets, J. Reuben Clark, Jr., Undersecretary of State, Washington, D. C, has written to Republican Re-publican State headquarters. Mr. Clark makes a special plea for the election of Utah's Republican Congressional Con-gressional candidates and for William H. Wattis, Republican candidate for Governor. Mr. Clark was defeated for the- Republican nomination for United Uni-ted States Senator, and now earnestly earnest-ly urges support for Ernest Bamberger. Bam-berger. In his support for Ernest Bamber7 ger and of the entire Republican ticket in Utah, Mr. Clark says:, "As you will remember, I tried to express to the Convention just after the nomination of Mr. Bamberger, my sentiments with reference to the attitude at-titude which should be taken at the election this fall by the members of the Republican party. As I recall it, I stated at that time that, as a defeated de-feated candidate for nomination, I wished to say that the party was bigger big-ger than any man in it, and the welfare wel-fare of the state and of the nation more vital than the party; that it was one of the glories of our free institutions institu-tions that, though we engaged in spirited rivalries for political preferment, prefer-ment, yet when the choice had been nir.de by a majority, the minority yielded, abiding by the result; and that our free institutions would continue con-tinue to exist only so long as the citizens of the country yielded obedience obedi-ence to this principle. I then bespoke for Mr. Bamberger the support of all those who had honored my by work- j ing for my own nomination. I still ! have these sentiments and maintain these principles. "In my view, the need of a Republican Republi-can victory in the approaching election elec-tion is imperative. The nation -as it exists today is founded upon Republican Republi-can policies. From all one can gather here, the election of Mr. Hoover and Mr. Curtis is assured. "For more than a quarter of a century cen-tury no man in the Senate has done more to uphold and advance Republican Republi-can policies than Senator Smoot. For the past twelve years his vote on great Republican issues has been negatived by the vote of his calleague who is a member of the opposite party. He is again asking the citizens of Utah to send to the senate someone some-one who will vote with him, not against him. Senator Smoot's service to the party, to the state, and to the nation justifies him in the expectation expecta-tion that all of us Republicans of Utah will so cast our votes as to grant his request- "Nor should the Republicans of the state stop at this, because it is also of paramount importance that they shall return to Congress our two Republican Re-publican Congressman, Leatherwood and Colton, who have for years served the state and nation with credit and honor. "Finally, Republican voters can discharge their full obligations to the party and to the party by voting for Mr. Hoover and Mr. Curtis, and by electing the Congressional ticket. They must also, if Utah is to function func-tion in the highest interests of the people of the state, elect a full state ticket, from Governor Wattis down to the last man named on the ticket. "I earnestly urge the Republicans of Utah to vote for these who are j candidates cf the Republican party." |
