Show Advertisement. Republican Column. Deadly Parallel T ie Democratic party has had con trol of the affairs of government in this country for but a few years, fortunately. Once in the early 90's a clean sweep put them into pjwer and they had every chance to make good if it was in them or their policies pol-icies and to insure a perpetuation of their rule and their policies for many years. What was the result? T ieir efforts at handling the affairs of government were a failure; their policies distructive to the last degree to the welfare and prosperity of the country. That such is the case is proven by the result of the first election elec-tion following their term ,of office, when the voters of the country turned turn-ed the party out almost to the last man. When the Democratic party was turned out at that time the Republican Re-publican party was turned in again. It had had control of the government govern-ment for many years, had brought it up from an obscure power to one of the foremost in the world, had brought it to a state of prosperity never before equaled in any country and had generally proven itself capable cap-able and its policies such as this country coun-try and its people needed. Upon its return to power it was but a few short years until the tangled affairs of government were straightened out and until the olr? time prosperity was again sweeping over the country. This stasment is no idle one, nor is it merely a boast of over-zealous pol-iticans. pol-iticans. That it is absolutely true can be proven to the satisfaction of any one interested and every voter is interested . A comparison of prices ruling for the various commodities produced on the farm in 1893-7, the four years of Democratic rule, with those of the present time; after the Republican party ha J had things in charge for a short time, tell the story in a most emphatic way. You can find them below in the form of the "Deadly Parallel". Read them: 1893-7 Prices Present Prices Horses - - - $50. Horses - - $175. Cows - - - 35. Cows - - - 70. Pigs - - - 3. Pigs --- 8.

This is a producing section of county. Every man, woman and child in this country is dependent directly or indirectly in-directly upon the commodities noted in the above list for the money with which to buy the necessities of life. Which do you prefer of the two policies? pol-icies? That is the only issue of consequence con-sequence in this election. The Democratic Dem-ocratic orators and writers will try their best to lead you away from the subject, because it's a Under spot with them, but you know what your interests are. Don't be misled by 'any catch saying or glittering argu-I argu-I ment that fights shy of this one. It ' is vital. i Judge Jacob Johnson The charges made against the Hon. Jacob Johnson, nominee on the Republican Re-publican ticket for congressman, have proven entirely groundless and have been thrown out of court. ' What has been said has only proven of benefit to his candidacy. The affairs of Sanpete during its entire history have been as well administered ad-ministered as in any county in the country and no one man has been better and more favorably represented repre-sented in the affairs especially in a legal sense than Judge Johnson, Not alone is this the case in Sanpete county but our neighboring counties on the east are indebted to him for much of the success which they have attained by his expert advice on legal leg-al and public matters. Again, the cities of this county are almost without an exception indebted in-debted to him for their well drafted ordinances; in fact nearly all public legal matters have been carefully and successfully framed by him and the people of his home county are not unmindful of these facts and will so make it known in the coming election. A careful review of prominent and influential papers of the east show a decided turn of political affairs in favor of President Taft. One very notable feature is that of the Civil ! War veterans, who are almost to a j man supporting the Presidenc. Some of the reasons for this action are here given: While President of Princetown University, Dr. Wilson made a statement expressing doubt as to the utility of the workship of the Flag as taught in the public ! schools. Members of the G. A. R. I took exceptions to the remarks and Robt. S. Dana, special aid for that organization, asked Dr. Wilson for an explanaMon, but received in reply, re-ply, after some excuses, the following: follow-ing: "Allow me to add, that while I am perfectly willing to tell any citizen cit-izen of the United States, what I think on a subject of this kind, the intimation that your letter seems to contain, that the Grand Army of the Republic is at liberty to call their fellow-citizens to account for public j I utterances, seems to me both offensive offen-sive and rediculous." Again, while ! Governor of New Jersey, he made a ' visit to the Old Soldiers Home at Vineland and the old Veterans to-, to-, gether with their wives, dressed in i their best prepared to receive him ; with the loyalty due'the chief executive execu-tive of the state, but all their preparations pre-parations were received with cold-i cold-i ress and so far as recognition wes B . concerned, they might just as well i have been in Alaska, and when re quested to say a few words to the old veterans, he told them, "he had nothing to say," and the snub direct was extended even so far as to dine in a separate room from the boys in blue. Many more excerpts might fce given giv-en but lack of space forbids ut least in this issue. During 1912 the American Wool Growers paid to labor for the care of their flocks $47,580,000. The same number of sheep were handled in South America for $15,080,000, and in Australia for $7,280,000. This vast amount of money only represents repre-sents a small portion of the money spent by the woolgrowers, as the amount of feed consumed is to be figured in the cost of maintaining this vast business and the American farmer is benefited correspondingly. The article sent out by President Taft and carried by the big dailies on Monday morning, is no doubt the very best campaign literature yet put forth and gives a most careful analysis of the business and political situation. In it the President refers to the prosperous business conditions and the fact that the business interests inter-ests are being centered in the National Na-tional Republican ticket. Figures are given showing the increase in our foreign markets which are beyond be-yond all precedence. Our home markets have increased in 40 years from seven billion dollars to thirty-three thirty-three billions, which shows the farmers farm-ers are enjoying the greatest prosperity pros-perity in the history of the country. Every mail brings assurance to the President that all i3 well so far a3 the Republicans are concerned. At a Democratic meeting held in Provo, Oct. 16th, in which candidate Matt Thomas was the principal speaker, Jesse Knight made a talk in which he said, that sheepmen would make money if wool was reduced re-duced to 12 1-2 cents. Of course your j Uncle Jesse knows all about the 1 sheep business, but Mr. Sheepman, i ! do you believe it? Of course, Uncle I Jesse buys the raw wool for his wool- j ! en mills and consequently believes in 'lowprices and if he and his party can bring this about they will as- 1 suredly do so, but this isn't the only thing they will cheapen, so look out Mr. Farmer for your interests fs they are after you too, and just as' vitally as they are after the sheepman. sheep-man. i |
