The philoso- phy of his political faith, which he termed "service and unselfishness," t was delineated hy President Wilson I tonight in an address to about 700 postmasters, virtually all his own ap pointees, at the annual banquet of the National Association of Presiden tial Postmasters. He also touched upon the subject of peace, but only 'l to say that "in no other country are the processes of peace so free to move." I Introduced by Postmaster Selpb of i St Louis, presiding, as "the protec tor of American citizenship," tbe pres ident was given an ovation lasting mor than five minutes. Prefacing his remarks, he said he understood his : auditors were virtually all Democrats, i and that, therefore, he was more free ; to say certain things than he might ' otherwise have been, "As I look about upon you," the I iminmiiiiimm ! , i Keep a Supply of Milk in g ( I the House at All Times 1 ' I K You are ncter without milk oven p3 Wm though tka milkman foigcto you- g ( ii you baro on hand n can or two 93 Wk of thU pure, rich milk that is fl j MADE IN UTAH I GROCERY SALE ( Saturday and all next week, New ; list every Friday.

Because many serious things have oc curred, and the thing I have been most Interested In is organizing this government for the service of the country. "Most of you, I am told, If not all of you, bear commissions .from the present administration. That sets me free to say some things that 1 might not otherwise." All Democrats. When ho started a sentence a mo ment later with "If you're all Demo crats " he was drowned out by cries of "We are: we are!" "There's only one way of holding the confidence of the American pub lic," the president resumed, "and that is by deserving it, and I know by my Intercourse with the postmaster gen eral his slnglo object has been to make the postoffice of more service to the people of the United States than It has ever been before. "I have no interest In the political party except as an Instrument of achievement I cannot Imagine how a man can be Interested in a party that has not aspirations and a-program to bo worked out. I Inherited my democracy. But It would not stay In my blood long if the red cor puscles didn't have something to do. And If the Democratic party will bear all Its efforts to understand the Unit ed States and serve It, It will be con tinued In power so long as it prac tices that demotion." I Declaring that selfishness was the UUU UUQD1D vi it separates men Into camps, Mr. Wilson said that the United States "is now one of the few countries in which lines of hostility aro not drawn." Postoffice the Gauge. 'In no other country are processes of peace so free to move as in Amer ica," he continued. The president declared that in ev ery community the postoffice is "the conspicuous gauge and standard of what the government is doing for the people." "The administration will be judged by you the whole spirit of public ser vice judged by you," ho told the post masters, "so you gentlemen are cus todians of honor and distinction, not a only of the party you represent, but I the government you servo. You are good Democrats in that proportion that you love the government more than you do yourselves. "The word noble' we never apply to a man who thinks first of him self. That ought to be the spirit of f nf srnvernment service. How any man can sleep at night whose conscience is not clear as to the purposes for which he uses public office, I cannot sec. "The message I would bring to night is: Let us band ourselves to gether and let us prove to the people of the United States that we under stand what thoy want and are readier to do it better than anybody else they can find." HUGHES IS INVITED HERE. Provo, July 20. Mayor Jamesr E. Daniels has received a letter from Senator Reed Smoot, acknowledging the receipt of a telegram from the mayor and President A. P. Merrill of the Provo Commercial club, asking the senator to invito Judge Charles B. Hughes to visit Mount Timpanogos on his contemplated western tour. Senator Smoot writes that he has sent a written invitation to Judge Hughes at New York and will invite t him personally on an expected trip -to New York In the - near-future. GOVERNOR SPRY DECLARES HE IS A CANDIDATE FOR RE-ELECTION , Announces He Will Run' on Any Platform His Party Adopts ' Challenges His Enemies Bitter Fight Now On Within the Republican Party Leaders in a Wordy Quarrel. Governor William Spry iBsued a statement yesterday in which he de clared he would stand squarely on the Republican state platform If re nominated. The statement is an answer to the representations made by United States Senator Reed Smoot, that Governor Spry would not Btand on a prohibition plank If adopted In the Republican platform. , Governor Spry recites some of the history of prohibition legislation in the state and points out that ho has always acted in accordance with Re publican policies and platforms, and concludes with the declaration of his determination to stand on whatever platform is adopted by the conven tion. It was in reply to their letter no tifying members of congress of the mass meeting of citizens who had in duced Governor Spry to run again that Senator Smoot, saying ho placed party success above men, declared he "understood" that the governor would not run on a prohibition plank. While refuting that statement, Gov ernor Spry remarks that the records of several of his critics have always showed them In the past to have been more interested in themselves than in the party. Challange Attacks. The governor's statement follows: Much concern Is manifest over my candidacy for reuominatlon as gover nor by those who profess great soli citude for "party." It is significant that the intenseness of this "party interest" is strikingly manifest In those whose past political records es tablish them as less Interested In party than in individual. It is also significant that those whose political positions were made secure by care ful manipulation of a flexible 'senti ment" that has done yeoman service in connection with the political emer gency issue of prohibition, talk with high-sounding phrase about placing party above men. I am not an emergency politician. While placing party success above men, I hold principle above both men , and party success. The great fundamental of Ameri can political organization is the prin-. ciple of party obligation to party pledges, solemnly made, and stead fastness to party policies, authorita tively adopted, by the representatives of the people In convention assem bled Every citizen has a right to as sume an unflinching fidelity on the 3 part of successful candidates for of 13 t. nmmtcoa whinh renre- sent the will of the majority; and under our form of government the minority must abide by the will of the majority. I believe in political parties as a means of expediting the management of government and oi establishing a tangible responsibility for acts of commission as well as omission. Since statehood, the Republican party has enjoyed the confidence of the people of Utah. It has enjoyed that confidence because it has kept faith with the majority. Squarely on His Record. Twice have the people favored me with the highest political honor with in their gift. I had thought not to aspire to the office again, but I am now a candidate for renomlnation for two reasons: First, because a very large number of representatives of all sections of the state and of all class es of people in the state who have been in harmony with, and indorse, my administrative policies, have ex pressed a desire that I enter the race; and, second, because when I made no effort to secure a renomi natlon, I was maligned and misrepre sented with regard to certain of my acts as chief executive, and, by whis per and Innuendo, charged with hav ing violated pledges and prostituted the high office Intrusted to my keep ing to such an extent that I feared to face my record and go before the people. I am in this race, therefore, as a challenge to every whispering character assassin in this state. I am in this race because the announce candidacy throwB open wide the ledged accounts of party fi delity to party pledges and because, having been administrative head of the party during the past elgfit I shall insist that my stewardship of party pledges as well as my obliga tions of publlo trust be subjected to the fullest and freest, and, at the same time, most careful examination. I am in this race because I invite a searching scrutiny of my official acts and because my being in the race will permit every voter to base his choice on the record and not on the vicious misrepresentations of whispering fact-pervoters. I am in this race because every element of manhood I possess rises in resent ment against the vicious method of the vicious assaults wheh are being made upon me. As the principal excuse for personal abuse, my opponents assail my atti tude on the liquor question. The li quor question is as old as the human race. For generations tho liquor traf fice has been conducted under the l sanction of law and has been control led through statutory regulation. Whe ther right or wrong, the business has been made legitimate under the law. The Uquor Question. In 1908 when I became the nominee of the Republican party, the liquor traffic was carried on in Utah under legal sanction. I made my race for the governorship on a platform absolutely unpledged to a change in the liquor regulations and the people elected me, as they elected the members of the legislature, unlnstructed as to any change In the laws governing' this business. After the legislature con vened in 1909, two so-called prohibi tion bills were Introduced into the legislature. The session was prolong ed some ten days beyond the constitu tional limit in a wrangle over these two measures. A joint committee of the house and senate was appointed upon my recommendation to draft a measure that would meet the views of the various Tactions. This" committee reported its Inability to agree and, on the eve of adjournment, there .was dumped into my basket a measure, called a prohibition bill, which was disclaimed by a majority of the mem bers of the two branches almost he fore it had reached my desk. This bill I vetoed on good and sufficient grounds, and I supplemented my veto with the suggestion that In the adop tion of sumptuary legislation, the sen timent of the people should first be ascertained in order that any measure which might be written Into the stat utes would have the support of the i majority of the people whom It was intended to govern; and I also sugges ted as a beginning toward the 'further control of the liquor traffic, the adop tion of a local option bill, setting forth at the same time my firm' conviction that the surest method of obtaining an effective prohibition was through na tional enactment For two years I went Into this matter thoroughly, and when the legislature convened in 1911 the. members were pledged to a local option law. A bill was drafted which is today recognized as one of the best local option measures In the United States and that bill I signed. It mode the state dry, but provided that on a .vote of the people certain units might engage in the liquor traffic. The fol lowing year the Republican party, In convention assembled, unequivocally endorsed this local option law as the proper means of handling the liquor traffic, and I went before the people on such a platform. Tho same 3rear the Democratic party pledged a state wide prohibition law. and the ficlit against my candidacy was directed wholly on my attitude toward the liquor question. That election furn ished the only expression that the people generally of the state have made on the prohibition question. Dur ing the legislative session of 1913 not' even an amendment to the local option law was passed. In 1914, after the various parties had nominated their candidates for the legislature and af ter the Republican candidates had been nominated on platforms endors ing the local option bill, the Better ment league exacted of all candidates of all parties a pledge, not for the enactment of a state-wide prohibition law, but for provision for submission of the Question of state-wide prohibi tion to the people for their determina tion. The campaign on this issue was conducted In even' county of the state and not a member of the legis lature was elected In 1914 but was pledged to submit this question to the people. Given a free hand, the, members of tho Betterment league prepared a liquor measure on January 27. I saw this measure on January 2S and observed that it had mo provision for submission to the people. On January 29 I caused to be introduced Into the legislature a constitutional amendment forever prohibiting the manufacture and sale of Intoxicating liquor In this state except for mechan ical and medicinal purposes, affording, thereby, an opportunity for the mem bers of the legislature to redeem the pledge which they had made to the people. This constitutional amend ment was killed, In spite of the fact that I used every effort to have the resolution adopted, and but for my personal efforts the amendment to the existing liquor law which prohibits tho shipment of liquor from wet to dry territory within the state would have suffered a like fate. Aside from the fact that the bill which was hand ed to me did not represent the ex pressed wish of the people In the mat ter of submission of the question to them for determination, It was not a prohibition bill. It merely transferred the traffic In liquor from the saloon to the drug store and It provided that nothing in the act should be constru ed as to prohibit tho use of liquor in the home for family purposes. Statements to the contrary notwith standing, that is tho record of the liquor question in this state during the past eight years. I shall go before the Republican con vention with a record on this ques tion absolutely In conformity with the Republican policies of the past and the Republican platform pledges, and that record also is in absolute con- ROMANCE SPOILED, ITALIAN BEAUTY I .... . TURNS TO STAGE ppi? ' Xh . Mmo. Fernando Rocchi Riabouchin sky. Mme. Fernando Riabo'uchlnsky, who attracted considerable attention because of her remarkable beauty when she came to New York, city with her wealthy husband; is now to go on the stage. The Italian beauty, who speaks rive languages, said: "I am going on the stage for several reasons because I have always wanted to, because I wish to forget the past and make my own future, and because I believe that I have talents formity with the expressed will of the people In their endorsement of the Republican party. This is my record of fidelity to Republican pledges. My every act has squared with the party promisest and I shall make my race as nominee of the Republican party on the platf6rm adopted by it in conven tion assembled. uu "Never Again Eddie," at the Oracle today only. FRENCH ARMY DOES HNE WORK Capture of Underground Forti fications and Intricate Mass of Trenches Great Mili tary Stroke. TROOPS SKILFULLY LED Months of Patient Toil of Ger mans Destroyed by Prelim inary Bomjbardment. Paris, July 21.-5:45 a. m. The re- i sumption of the battle of the Somme i in the French sector has greatly en hanced the general confidence in the situation. The protracted halt of oper ations on more than a minor scale was beginning to make the public fear that the first results would have no morrow and that as In the case of the Champagne offensive a year ago there might bo a reversion to the old French warfare. Yesterday's bulletins effectively removed this impression. A particularly fine piece of work from the French point of view was accomplished In the new sector south of the river. East of the old French ervllle to half way between that vill age and the Fouquescourt Vermando. villers road, the Germans had con structed by months of patient toil and . iderground fortification In a star shaped wood and on the slopes of the hill. There were ninety trenches in the wood, very cheap with two series of underground shelters, in which the soldiers lay snug during tho hottest bombardments. Germans Offer Stout Resistance. The Germans here, as in the Barleux and Soyecourt region, where their positions formed an intricate mass ot trenches, offered a stouter resistance than elsewhere on the line of attack. But the French troops, carefully pre pared for their work and skilfully led, not only won through everywhere but held on to their gains and were pre paring last night to attempt to still further extend them. It now develops that yesterday's ef fort was due several days ago, but that the artillery preparation was de- I THE WINOUP OF THE BIQMIDi H SUMMER STOCK REDUCING I Department! 1 Another day these tremendous reductions quoted in I men's and boys' apparel will hold the center of the I PH stage, and you will have one more opportunity to save I fH on stylish summer clothing and furnishings for boy I and man. 5 t A few items quoted here will give you an idea of the H importance of this sale as many others await you at I I the store Come!

The French commanders report that the prelimin. ary bombardment was so effective that the losses of tho attackers were compartively light. French Counter-Attacks. The Germans have made no attempt to follow up the smashing blow de livered against the northern Verdun defenses a week ago. The French counter attacks, according' to the of ficials accounts, are gradually winning back the ground gained by the Ger mans at heavy cost in the vicinity of Thiaumont and Fleury. The inactivity on the part of the crown prince is interpreted by French military opinion aas evidence that tho Germans are finding difficulty in concentrating troops at any one point. The French officers say that each fresb assault on Verdun is requiring longer and longer time to prepare. They claim that the Germans took no less than 18 days in preparations for the attack of July 12. . rr - 'Temptation and the Man," at the Oracle today only. AUTOMOBILE TRUCK DESTROYED BY FIRE.
