K dent if It is tendered to mo, and 1

ways endeavored and always shall
endeavor to reduce to action, is tho
genuino rulo of the people; and there
fore I hope that so far as possible

REGULAR REPUBLICANS ARE

Upon receipt of the Associated Press
dispatch from Now York, giving tho
text of Colonol Theodoro Roosevelt's
roply to tho Inquiry letter of tho eight
governors In which ho announced
his intontlon to accept tho presiden
tial nomination if tendered to him,
a numbor of prominent citizens hero
were approached for opinions on tho
situation.
There was a general and notice
able indisposition to talk. It was
mostly pleaded by thoso so fooling
that thoy desired to take timo to con
sider the matter before oxpresslug an
opinion on tho situation. Most of thoBo
who consented to bo quoted at Pll
wcro very brle.fin their statements,
with few exceptions, and there seem
ed to .be a dominent wish to post
pono expression until contact with
others might bring about sufficient
solf-confldenco to pormlt free vont to

GOVERNOR WILLIAM SPRY. I do
not know that I can say rniy more
thun I havo Bald heretofore. I firm
ly bellovo that Utah Is for Taft and
that wo will send n solid Tuft dele
gation to tho Chicago convention. I
am under tho impression that some
of tho recent uttorances of Colonul
Koosovolt havo materially Injured
any chances that ho may have there-to-foro
had. I bollovo that Utah Is
absolutely safo for Taft. Of courso
one might enter into a broad discus

speech, hut I sco no rouson for doing
so, In so far as my position a', be

I have now expressed it, and I don't
know thnt 1 could say anything more
in clarification of that position.
HIRAM E. DOOTH, United States dls

I do not caro to express nny opin

tho present time, however, I um for
President Tnft. While I odmlro Mr.
Roosovelt very much as a gentleman
and a good citizen, I feel that Mr.
Taft has made a good prcsldant, and
is entitled to a second term. That
is as fnr as I wish to go nt present,

I think so far as I am personally
concerned, that President Taft 13

position to know what tho governors
of other states nro going to do, but
my opinion Is that Mr. Roosevelt will
be uble to count only upon tho sup
port thnt tho eight governors who
uddresscd him may afford. I havo
a perfectly great regard for former
President Roosovelt, but I really do
not think that ho should attempt to
displaco Mr. Taft. In fact it socma
to mo that his object is to gather the

SOME INTERESTING
VIEWSJ)N SOCIALISM
From The "Question Box" Pub
lished by Frank M.
Eastwood
Cy A. C. JApOBSEM
Socialism is a word having several
more or Joss distinct, but closely re
lated meanings. lt is used as alh'e
common narao of a certain Interpre
tation of history, a worklng-clabB
philosophy, an economic science, a
political movement 'and an ideal so
ciety. Tho socialist, interpretation
of history regards all history as fun
damentally a series of class strug
gles between a wealth-owning ruling
class on tho one hand, and a sub
ject working class on tho other. The
socialist philosophy is based upon
tho class antagonisms ana conse
quent social divisions arising there
from; and postulates the ultimate
abolition of classes through tho es
tablishment of socialized industry
democratically controlled. Socialist
science analyzes tho present capital
istic system of production, showing
that human labor Is tho source and
measure of value. As a political
movement Socialism organizes tho
producers Into a class-conscious po
litical party to capture the political
power aB a means of realizing its
Ideal. Its ideal Is u commonwealth
based upon a soclnllzed . Industrial
system.
How do Socialists propose to cap
ture political power and establish
their Co-operative Commonwealth?
That is a quostlon which require")
time and space to answer, and pa
tient study to fully comprehend. It
Is tho purpose of this artlclo to an

lit may bo so; hut whllo part, of
tho peoplo work to produce thoae
things needed to sustain life and
mnko it worth while, another part of
tho peoplo merely work tho worker.
With roference to tho means and
methods by which thoy got a living
tho wholo peoplo consist mainly i)f
two classes: tho working class who
havo little or ho wealth and are
therefore compelled by necessity to
soil their labor power for a wago,
and tho capitalist class who own the
means of production (that is, tho
land, factories, mines, etc.,) and
through such ownership obtain
woalth produced by tho real workers.

Editor Examiner I note your dl-

of such a plant and what It would

all of uhlch nro In active operation. jH
A building at Ilyrum lias been erect-
d with a like end In view, nnd ono jH
nt Franklin Is now Hearing complo- H
Hon, and will ho In active operation j
tho near future. jH
I nm advised that there is a. mar- H
hot for tho pioduct foi all tho factor H
ies, and that the demands exceed the jjH
production, and promises to contln" fl
so. 1 nm told that tho factories at !
Richmond nnd Logan paid out last !
year in dollars and coins, moro than H
wns paid for sugar beets nt tho Low- ll
Istou nnd Logan factories for 1911. i
That tha Logan factory alone produc- jB
ed in finished products $450,000 for fl
1911 and tho Richmond factory ?rol- jJ
ably exceeded this. tR
I could prolong this letter and jH
give additional data, that no doubt
would bo of Interest, but lot this jH
Biifflro for the present.
I nm BUggcstlng that tho Montpel-
icr Commercial Club get busy and IH
send a committee here at tho Club's H
expense and go over tho ground nt fJ
tho flvo factories. Surely It Cacho jH
Valley cansupport Uvo factories, jH
Bear Lake can support ono ns a be-
glnulng. 1 believe that they will l'h jH
tieatod with courtesy nnd no infor- IH
matlon requested will ho withhold. jH
It appears to mo that tho funds of -H
tho club will bo spent moro wlsoly In !H
promoting an industry of this kind, fH
than all tho printed matter that
could bo sont out. iH
The effects of such a factory ere- IH
ntlng a demand for milk would bo H
widespread, briefly better breeds of H
milch cows, cleaner methods of pro- H
duclng and handling tho milk, in- !
crease of and a constant demand for IH
forage nt good prices, creation of H
labor at good wages In tho factory; H
all of which would result in tho in- H
creuso values of lands, and property H
in gonornl, thus Inviting a new popu- jH
latlon, and that 1b what Bear Lake j
I bollovo the condensed milk inter-
tfits hero would assist in financing .i
condensed milk proposition and this
would bo, an advantage, slnco It fl
would bring with it tholr experience, H
their market, and would further ex-
tend their field of influence Thoy
no doubt would also Invito enough H
local capital to promote tho Interests M
and support nnd gonornl welfare of M
a factory, ' H
Aguln tho promotion of this pro- J
position would aid in stimulating tho ;H
construction of tho proposed road M
connecting Preston with the main 'H
Hue on tho O. S. L. at somo point, at !H
or near Aloxnmlcr; thus making u !
thorough route from Bear Lako to !M
Salt Lake, and stimulating tho prud 'H
ucts of Gontllo valley, of which milk vH
plays an Important part. '
1 havo Information that the Gontllo 11
valloy road is seriously considered fiH
and its advantages to both valleys Is HH
so manifest that It needs no (m- IH
merits.
Tho conJoufecd milk proposition is H
no longer an experiment. It Is a re B
nllty, and tho success In this valley ' IB
1b phenomenal, and liko possibilities fak?
is within tho roach of tho peoplo of mL$
Montpollcr and Bear Lako in general, iS
without any great .fforts. IHI
I trust you will continue to agitate el
this proposition nnd bring It boforo, lilH
tho club until 3omothlug is dono, na IB
