IN HIS SUPPORT OF ERNEST BAMBERGER AND OF THE ENTIRE REPUBLICAN TICKET IN UTAH, . ; MR. CLARK SAYS: "As yo will remember, I tried to express " to the Convention, just after the nomination of Mr. Bambarger, my sentiments with reference to the altitude which should be taken at the election this fall by the members of the Republican party. As I recall it, 1 stated at that t'.me that, as a defeated candidate for nomination, I wished to say that tha party was bigger than any man in it, and the welfare of the state and nation moro vital than the party, that it was one of the glories of our free institutions tha',, though ve engaged in spirited rivalries for political preferment, yet when the cho'ce had been made by a majority, the minority yielded, abiding by the resist; and that our free irsaitutions would continue to exist ex-ist only so long as the citizens of the country yielded obedience to this principle. I then bespoke for Mr. Bamberger the support of all those who had honored me by working for my own nomination. I still have these sentiments and maintain these principles.

He is again asking the citizens of Utah to send to the senate someone who will vote with him, not against him. Senator Smoot's service to the party, to the state, and tJb the nation justifies him in the expectation that all of us Republicans of Utah wi'l so cast our votes as to grant his request. re-quest. . - "Nor should the Repblicans of the' state stop at this, because it is also of paramount importance that they shall return to Congress Con-gress our two Repub'ican Congressmen, Leatherwood and Colton, who have for years served the state and nation with credit and honor. : . "Finally, Republican voters can discharge their full obliga-: tions to the party and to the state by voting for Mr. Hoover and Mr. Curtis, and by electing the Congressional icket They must also, if Utah is to function in the highest interests to the people of 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 those who are candidates of the Republican party." |
