courageous who is willing and ready and does boldly state his position to the american people that they might be informed as to how he stands upon all of the great and momentous questions confronting our nation and in his bia language we declare for a national leader who in place of the man who says 1 I dare n not 0 the th man who says 1 I dare in pla place oe of him v who ho says 1 I doubt the man who says 1 I believe in place of him who says 1 I tear fear the man who 1 I trust in place of him whose first thought is is ie this course expedient the man who says is this course right in reply to the following declaration in said republican platform an auspicious auspicio ng era of prosperity SEEMS to he be dawning and there and should not he be a disposition to change or obstruct this era of APPARENT prosperity in all candor we w e ask these republicans to point out the common people to whom prosperity SEEMS to be dawning and those who have the vision to see thy the prosperity in view 0 of f the prevailing distressful conditions in this country whereby under this republican administration farms and homes have been lost by the hundreds in our county through the foreclosure of mortgages and the sale of the same for taxes when during this republican administration in the one bankruptcy district of the federal court to which sevier bovier county belongs seven hundred seven ty six industrious people from high to low in financial affairs have been declared bankrupts when during this entire administration farm products with the possible exceptions of sugar beets and wool have been a drug upon the market when thera ther was any market at all for them excepting except ng perhaps during the last few weeks when through political m manipulation wheat has had a mar ket but at a price nowhere nearly commensurate with the cost of producing the same when within the united states farm values have shrunken forty billions of dolla dollars xz and when in our own sevier county lands that were quick sale under the administration of woodrow wilson at per acre can not now be bartered at an acre and when in accordance with the great state republican paper the salt lake tribune under date of september 16 1924 under the glaring head lines nations tax burden piles still higher on the front page it states that our national taxes are now cow heavier than they were in 1922 when in our own county there are honest hardworking men by the score who under the last democratic administration were well to do dc and thought themselves to have a life competency are now wiped out financially and unable to abt obtain ain a dollars credit at the bank we call attention to the fact that du during ring this republican tion the purchase price prace of a dollar has gone down down and down so that today while extremely hard to get it will buy only about fifty two cents worth of the common necessaries of life and we challenge the republicans to find within our county any honest man among the farmers the cattle men or the day laborers who has the nerve to step forth and say that he is prosperous and that he has prospered under this republican administration we ask the republicans of sevier county to ain to us what metamorphosis gov charles R mabey has passed through since four days before his nomination when they shunned him upon his visit to our city as if he were unclean and at the elaborate luncheon prepared in his honor none of them deigned to attend axce except pt only our city druggist and city undertaker that some of them now incline to support him we declare that the one pertinent fu fundamental nd question that every voter should ask before casting his or her ballot on election day is do I 1 want four years more qt the kind of ex experience p ermence I 1 have had under this republican administration and it if the answel Is yes vote the republican ticket and it if it si no vote the democratic ticket we declare that every conscientious voter before casting his or her ballot should ask the fu further ither question has there been such honesty integrity and efficiency shown be the republican officials of our nation state and county to entitle them to the plaudit well done thou good and faithful servants and if the voter determines that the republican administration is not entitled to be so approvingly addressed then the republican ticket is not entitled to support we join with the republicans of this county in favoring the repeal of the law now in force whereby the absolute control of the waters of the state rest with the state engineer but nevertheless we condemn the policy of the present republican governor and state administration in endeavoring to enforce this harsh law by attempting to intimidate our irrigation officials at the point of guns guna as was done dome by them at the head waters of the richfield canal we invite to join the democratic party all progressive thinking people all who believe in honest government and that public orfice office is a public trust we are proud of the efficient and untarnished record of our democratic county recorder who during her tenure of office has rendered a public service bervice unsurpassed in the history of our county we are also proud of the work of our democratic county commissioner carl tuft we are opposed to the tha law enacted by the republicans making the term of office for most ot of the county officials tour four years and we pledge the legislative nominee of this convention it if elected to work for a repeal of this law we pledge the nominees of this convention it if elected to an honest energetic and efficient management of the public affairs of sevier county and that the economy conformable to the absolute necessities of our growing community shall be observed by them we stand upon the record of the last democratic administration in III our county state and nation as a guarantee to the electorate that the attales of the people and their
