Show Editorial . . . For Republicans To Choose . . . The Republican convention has spoken. To incumbent Lee they gave 848 votes to make him high man. To hopeful Clyde they gave 318. Now it's up to us to decide which of the two should be honored with the seat in the Capitol building. Both men campaigned on their records though they were of vastly different backgrounds. Both records are impressive, each in its individual indi-vidual way. The opponents are of a caliber worthy of each others metal. Governor Lee has been a man of conviction. Everyone knows where he stands. With him there is no backtracking. His opposition to federal involvements both at home and abroad has been courageous. Many, afraid to express themselves so openly, have said privately they wish they'd had the courage to take his stand. From these Lee will pick up many votes. George D. Clyde, director of the Utah Power and Water Board, is also a man of conviction though up to the present little is known of his stand on the controversial issues about which Governor Lee has expressed himself so openly. Ordinarily, perhaps, this would not be necessary. However, in these times when international government and national government makes itself so manifest in the everyday doings of Utahns it would be helpful for voters to know how Mr. Clyde stands on the United Nations, states rights, civil rights, federal aid to education to mention a few of them. At any rate, these men are beckoning you to the polls. Don't let them down. Don't let your state government down. Don't let your national government down. Learn the issues and vote for the man best fitted to carry out your philosophy of administration. |
