Opens Campaign Arthur Woolley of Ogden, Republican Republi-can candidate for representative in : congress from the first Utali district, ' was the principal speaker at a Re-J publican rally held Thursday night of; last week in the Victory theatre. Speaking in Minersville in the after-' noon and in Beaver at night, only an early evening hour was available for' Mil ford, the rally being scheduled; for 6:30 o'clock, which conflicted with the dinner hour of a large tram- I ber of people and made it almost im-; possible for th"e living on the flat to attend. What the audience lacked in number, however, it made up in enthusiasm when Mr. Woolley bore down on various features of the new-being new-being um-iiinfo cfidMloriusf Ralpho deal to which he is unalterably opposed. op-posed. I Senator George Jefferson, Repub-! lican county chairman, presided at the meeting and first introduced W. ; W. Seegmiller, former southern Utah two years ago, who is now making ; hi : heme in Salt Lake City. Mr. j Seegmiller told of some of the policies poli-cies of working and saving and providing pro-viding for the future which had governed the pioneers in their determination de-termination to conquer hard times, as compared with the unrestricted spending policy practiced by the government at this time. Despite glaring fallacies in the policies of the president, the speaker added, Republicans Re-publicans had stood behind the administration ad-ministration in the hope of recovery until the administration itself confessed con-fessed the breakdown of the NRA.J under which so many of our citizens face jail for this or- that infraction of a department order. Following along a different vein, Mr. Seegmiller Seegmil-ler told of having known Arthur Wooley from the day he was born down at Pipe Springs, just over .the line in Arizona, and of his reputation for courage and honesty of his convictions con-victions and that he was not a man who could stand for the abdication of congress. He also commended to his hearers Don B. Colton, candidate for United States senator and D. N. Straup, candidate for supreme court justice. I Frank Paxton of Kanosh, Republi-j can candidate for state senator, next introduced, told of being county commissioner com-missioner of Millard county for ten years and of two years service as state representative. He said he had' been a supporter of the railroads; as a big asset to both Millard and Bea-I ver counties, adding that he believed in good schools and good roads. He said that he was a dirt farmer and stockman, and didn't believe in any; form of relief that would lead the workers to say that Uncle Sam didn't: want them to work. ' Mr. Woolley told of his association! in Washington with the national legislative and information bureaus of the railroad brotherhoods prior to 1016 and his pride in a letter ofj recommendation from the bureau; when he returned to Utah to take up the practice of law, and similarly ofi his discharge from the army. He said: he claimed to be nothing more than aj young man trying to get along butj that he didn't want to be elected to'i the office to which he aspires unless he could feel that. he had a free handj to do as his best judgment dictated.; The present status of our country, he said, reminded him of an experi- ence as a kid when he was lost on the; vast Kaibab forest and didn't get his! bearings until morning came. He com-j pared this experience with the bewilderment be-wilderment of himself and others in the complications of the present vastj alphabetical government under which i we are living instead of under con-! stitutional government. The present, setup is a hybrid of isms, he said, and if the people wanted a congressman congress-man who would follow any man away from the constitution, they should not cast their votes for him for he refused to do so. No one ever spent himself rich, he said, and a country as rich even as the United States could not do so. As different from the Uncle Sam pictured to the people peo-ple in the past, the speaker isaid he now visualized an Uncle Santa Claus, who, stripped of his jolly disguises, dis-guises, appeared as a much worried man with a heavy pack of taxes and debts, instead of toys, on his back. Concluding, the speaker said he be-leived be-leived in an Americanism that is inheritednot in-heritednot imported and American Ameri-can government on the good old American plan.
