Show ! Candidates Take Ads To Tell Voters Of Qualifications Feeling that they wanted to make themselves known to more people than they have been able contact in hurried trips over the state, several candidates who will be voted on in next Tuesday's primary election carry ads in this issue of The News. Brief but imformative as they are, we recommend re-commend that our readers take advantage of the excellent opportunity oppor-tunity thus afforded to gain a knowledge of the background of the candidates and experience they may have had as preparation for the positions to which they aspire, as-pire, newpaper space lor such purposes offering numerous advantages ad-vantages over other mediums on which some of the candidates depend. de-pend. Among those whose ads appear this week, together with their pictures, pic-tures, is Val H. Cowles of Price, candidate for the Democratic nomination as representative in congress, whom we mentioned for this position in our Ruminator column as far back as January, 1939, up to which time he informs us he had had never an idea of such a thing. As we thought then we think now: Val Cowles is ex ceptionally well fitted for the office of-fice of congressman and people of all parties would ' be proud of him if the Democrats should make him their candidate in the primary pri-mary election, and a majority of the voters do likewise in November. Novem-ber. Reed Stevens, characterized as "a big man for a big job," is a candidate for the Republican nomination nom-ination fr governor of Utah and his remarkable success as a businessman busi-nessman and farmer-stockmen gives him a huge following among people who know him and his unusual un-usual ability. Mr. Stevens is a native of Utah, having 'been born in Kamas, where he retains extensive exten-sive property interests. From one small creamery, he has developed the extensive Brooklawn organization, organi-zation, besides having numerous other interests, and is recognized j throughout the state as an able 1 and progressive citizen of the highest type. Delbert M. Draper, leading Utah educator and lawyer, and candidate candi-date for the Democratic nomination nomina-tion as U. S. senator, with one of the ads mentioned gives a modest but strikingly sincere statement of some of his beliefs on subjects i of paramount importance to Utah, the ad being paid for by a fellow lawyer who is in a good position to know him well. Spoken of as something of a "dark horse" candidate can-didate for the nomination, Mr. j Draper no doubt will pick up a! large number of Democratic votes from members of the party who might otherwise favor one of the other two candidates but are becoming be-coming disgusted with the vic-iousness vic-iousness of the fight between them. Philo T. Famsworth jr., a native j of Beaver and now a prominent! Salt Lake lawyer, an ad in whose! behalf also appears in The News,! is believed by many to have an excellent chance of winning the Republican nomination for U. S. senator without the necessity of entering the run-off primary, and he has many friends in Beaver i county who are going to put forth every effort to bring this about. Appearing in The News of two weeks ago was an ad in behalf of Henry D. Moyle, one of the leading lead-ing candidates for the Democratic nomination for governor and it noj doubt made a deep impression on all who read it. A successful manager man-ager of livestock and agricultural interests in addition to mining and irrigation activities, Mr. Moyle has a statewide reputation as an organizer and leader and this ability has been made wide use of in many welfare activities.
