Mr. ICUiott called the attention of Utah's naxt executive to the fact that prac-'ir:illy prac-'ir:illy all signers of the letter were 7-onuhlieans, all of whom were sorry sor-ry that they did not have an opportunity oppor-tunity to vote for him on election day. Anyhow, they did what they could for him during the campaign, -nd it is probable that their infiu-nce infiu-nce may have secured some votes 'or him in Utah. Residents of White Pine county feel that they were handed a very raw deal by Governor Mabey in his '.'ronrr opposition to the Lincoln 'dfrhway. hence their interest in the lection of Governor Dern, who is ;aid to be a man of broad vision in road matters, and who has expressed expres-sed the opinion that the State of Utah could make no better investment invest-ment than the completion of the Lincoln Way through the state Ely Record. |
