From there the line ran to the

icans reached BOult-aux-Bois at four

A FINAL STATEMENT , j
To the Voters of the First Congressional District of Utah:
I wish to add a final word to further state my aims' and
hopes if I am chosen to represent you in congress.
I reiterate that the supreme duty is to make complete and
absolute our victory" in the war. To that end I would support
with my very best efforts and with all the energy I possess the
military and civil affairs of our government.
As I view it the war can not be much longer continued as
victory is in sight. In the business problems that rise after
wards if I am permitted, I shall support loyally every measure
calculated to restore stability and bring prosperity to the pro
ductive enterprises of our country and particularly thoss of
Utah, with which I am most familiar.
