S It has been an invariable rule with Mr. Wattis that no matter how far away from jj . h's home his activities might take him, the earnings from his various enierpr..-:e-. ? should be devoted to the development of his native state. He has never gone away 1 I ' o:.. home in ;:earch for capital, because he was able to command th0 confidence and a respect of those with whom he was intimately associated and who were willing to jj trust him with their means. jj His philanthropies have found expression in such institutions as ihe Thnniag IV j Dee Memorial Hospital of Ogden, of which he is president, and of whiib be ba- Ik-i ii 1 a trustee ever since it was taken over by the Church of Jesus Christ of Lntter-'tnv Saints. 3 Fe is a member of the Weber Club, the Chamber of Co.nmcrce of Or.Iivi. of J ' which he was president for three successive terms.

If I am elected I see, as my first duty, the support of every measure thai will speedily end the war with victory a support that must be wholly above partisanship. partisan-ship. And when the war is over I shall expect to study closely all the great problems that are bound to arise during the reconstruction period and to apply to their solu- M tion with my utmost ability, the principles of sound slatcsmanship that are inherent H in the Republican party. ' I shall stand for the protection of American industry against cheap foreign competition, which means, of course, that I shall also work for the best interests or American labor. And I shall count myself fortunate if I am able to employ to the advantage of our state the ex- ys jf y J s perience I have gained in recla- X , yf J -r mation work and stock raising in J sAsflLlSfjQJ' 7 the West, when measures affecting SY If r r JS S yy, the agricultural and livestock in-J V f V7 terests of our section come up for ' consideration.
