Show I F. J KIESELTAKES UP SUTHERLAND'S CAUSE i; Builder Lauds Utah Senator's K Exposition Promotion; jp' Secured P. O. Building. Tho latest addition to the list ot names of prominent men In Utah f i subscribing to the movement for tho I election of the Honorable George r i Sutherland, junior United States scn- !; ' ator, is that of the Honorable Fred J. ' Klcsel, the Ogden capitalist and ; builder, who bears a national repute f-i for his activity among leaders in the 5' i development of the western country I ; and especially the intermountain re- : fion i ' Although frequently giving oral , indorsement- to Senator Sutherland's i j candidacy, Mr. Klcsel did not take up w ; the cause in behalf of the statesman a until yesterday when, in a statement. he asserted that the people of Utah jj ought to return Mr. Sutherland to the I senate if for no other reason than those found in the senator's accomplishments accom-plishments for Utah. Furthermore, he stated that Mr. Sutherland had started projects that are still unfinished and that he should be given the opportunity to carry them to a successful conclusion because be-cause they mean, in their finished , state of development, that Utah will I be moved to a more conspicuous place J on the map of the states that are re-!U re-!U cording the greatest advancement, !i clvlcly, socially and industrially, ff, ' j These unfinished projects include p. J the groundwork laid for an interna- 85 tional exposition for Ogden In May, 1 1919. This exposition will be in com-3i com-3i memoratlon of the fiftieth anniversary 5 of the completion of the first trans-TJ trans-TJ 5 continental railroad, which occurred - at Promontory Point In May, 1S69, I when the Golden spike was driven, i j uniting tho Union Pacific and Central M ' Pacific into one continuous railway A line, connecting the two oceans. The 'j exposition will be known as the 1 Golden Wedding celebration. I The work performed by Senator Sutherland in behalf of this project, which, when completed, wil mean ; that the eyes of the American public will be turned on Ogden during the summer of 119, is seen In the fact that he obtained congressional indorsement of a resolution to give the exposition i government and national recognition, j The resolution also called for the creation cre-ation of an exposition commission to look after the government's par in arrangements for the celebration. !j This action, first taken by the sen- I ate, and for which Senator Sutherland Is wholly responsible, insures the sue-J sue-J 1 cess of the celebration by making it I a reality. Further steps must be tak-I tak-I ' en In the way of securing appropria-I appropria-I tions. Inasmuch as the building of I tho Central Pacific and the Union Pa-1 I cific were government measures, it I is regarded as not at all unlikely that ( some federal appropriation will e IJ made for the exposition project. II The senate will look to Senator II Sutherland to further the project in It congress. It - will not be advanced If through the stages through which it I'i must pass except by the guidance of a 1 statesman, skilled In parliamentary t procedure and the art of diplomacy. These, and a comprehensive knowl-j knowl-j edge of ponstltutional law. possessed t only by a few, are accredited attrib-t attrib-t utes of" Utah's junior senator. I In considering his cairns for re-It re-It election. Mr. Kiesel stated, it 'vould I be well to consider the fact that I! Senator Sutherland was responsible 1 for Ogden securing a postoffico bulld-I bulld-I ing. which is a better and costlier I building than cities the size of Ogden I aro entitled to by governmental pro-I pro-I vision. I The re-election of Senator I Sutherland, said Mr. Kiesel, is II pletion of unfinished tasks which If he has started. These tasks are i I Important Inasmuch as they in- f volve future considerations for Utah's welfare. As a member of I I tho judiciary committee, Senator JJ lit Sutherland piloted the resolution to secure national recognition for j the Golden Wedding celebration j through the senate and also se- 1 cured the promise of favorable ac- tion on it by the lower house. This resolution not only makes j the celebration a reality, but It I goes a stop further by creating a commission to perform the gov-i gov-i ernment'o part in making the necessary arrangements. There is still work to be done for the celebration. The matter '. of appropriations must be con- II sidered. No beginner will be able l( to secure an appropriation for a I. project of this character. That is l a duty that can bo entrusted only to a diplomat and a person long Bv accustomed to senatorial proce-Ht proce-Ht dure. Senator Sutherland must Ij be re-elected because Utah needs r his services in securing this np-I np-I ! proprintion. r Personally, I have always found I- Senator Sutherland a big, fine man, always attentive to duty. Despite the fact he is actively I engaged at all times, he never I ' overlooks anything, no matter I how smnll and insignificant it I may seem, if Its object is to help I tho people or best interests of the I state he represents. Any recfueat i that I have mado of him always I has drawn a quick and ready re- sponse. Tho people of Utah can I not well afford to repudiate him f at this election. I. DO |
