Lightly Touches on Peace and
Tells of How to Hold Public
' Confidence.
i Washington, July 20. 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,

president said, "I gather many of the
impressions of the last three years.
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-

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

shaped wood and on the slopes of the

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

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.
