Tomorrow  the   people   of   Utah will  go  to the poles  to  select
the next G-ovemor of  Utah*   As  one   of  the   candidate   for  this   office,
1  have  tried   to   keep   myself above petty political   arguments,   in order
that  the voters  of  this   State would not  be  confused with   the  true
issues which   to   me   are for more   important  to   the Welfare of Utah
than   the  election of any  one  individual.   I have no   fight with
my  opponent  as  an individual.   I  grant him  the same   right to   his
views  on  the   conduct of  State  Government   as  I  expect him to   grant  to
me.  He  represents  one  philosophy  and   1  stand  for  another.  He ha s
conducted the   State  government as  he undoubtedly believed to   be
right.   I disagree with his   philosophy  and certainly   he must
disagree  with   mine,   te cause  he has  run the   State government   for   the
pastfour   years  in  sach   a manesr that   in my  opinion every   one   in
Utah gxarairi has  been airectly   injured, with   the  possiole   exception
of those few who have   enriched themselves  at public  expense.
It ha.s   always been my  opinion that  government   should  'be   run
for  the  benefit of  all the   people, regardless of   political   belief
of economic  standing,   but my  opponent by his actions  has shown
that his   own  personal welfare  as well  as   that of  his   political   friencfe
is  of greater   importance.   To me   there  is   only  one   issue  and   that is
shall  all   of  the   people of Utah  recieve benefits  from there
government  or   shall we continue  to   permit a few  men to   enrich them
selves  at  public  expense.   Do you want   to   believe  the   facts which
are  so self  evident  to all  or  do  you   want   to   listen  to   a man like
Gorden  Taylor Hyde ifeo has been  holding his   position   in our  State
Government  contrary  to  law,   and  individual who  has   oeen enriching
himself by  selling Gravel   to, the   State  of Utah   contrary   to   law,   and
#io   stands  to   gain personally by   the  election of  the   present
governor.   Isn't  It reasonable to   believe  that all   of his   high
