I THEATRICAL MANAGER DIES
NEW YORK, Oct. 30 A. Paul Keith,
who had been head of tho Keith the
atrlcal Interests since tho death of
his falher, B. F. Keith, died of pneu
monia here tonight.
D. 0. MM ADVISES
VOTE 'IS" ON
PROHIBITION
On Tuesday, Nov. C. 191S. the peo
ple of (his state are asked to vote for
or against three proposed amendments
to the state constitution. In the order
in which these will appear on the of
ficial ballot, question number one Is
tho prohibition amendment.
Undoubtedly, public sentiment in
Utah Is overwhelmingly favorable to
the prohibition of tho manufacture and
sale of intoxicating bovcrages. Even
many or those who opposed the pas
sage of tho prohibition law are now
warm supporters of it, having seen its
beneficial and uplifting effects. In
this instance, to them "the proof o' the
puddln is the eat'n o' it."
Now the question Is, shall this law
become a part of the constitution so
that no legislature of the future can
change or repeal it without first hav
ing submitted tho proposition to tho
people?
There being such a general approv
al of the law, it would appear that the
only danger to tho registering of prac
tically a one hundred per cent affirm
ative vote on this question would only
be either indifference or forgetfulness;
and so all that seems necessary would
be just a gentile reminder not to for
get or neglect to make a cross (X)
after the word "Yes" on question Num
ber One.
However, only yesterday morning. I
read an article offering an objection
that should not pass unnoticed. It
was this:
"Such an amendment will lower tho
tone of our constitution." The only
basis for such an objection must lio in
tho assumption either that the law
now on tho statute books Is not fun
damental, or that It has not practical
ly the unanimous support and sympa
thy of the people. Surely, it does not
lio in tho nature of the principle it
self! In answer to tho first assumption, 1 j
should like to say just this: In spite !
of occaional "bootlegging," prohibition
in Utah as elsewhere has reduced to a
remarkable degree tho evils that fol
lowed in the path of intemperance.
Any law that v.-Ill minimize a cursed
condition that carried down to a pre
mature grave, every day, more than j
two thousand American souls might'
well be deemed "fundamental" in our'
government. The gentleman offering
this objection says, truly, that "The
constitution expresses our ideals of
government." What higher ideals of
government to ask, than that which
conserves the manhood and" woman
hood of a nation; than that which
stands for morality and as against im
morality; for virtue as against vice;
for right as against wrong? Such a
law instead of "lowering tho stan
dard" of any constitution would do
credit to the noblest document over
penned. Some day some such worthy
law will shine as one of the brightest
gems In the constitution of the Uni
ted States.
Now as to the second condition on
which- the objection must be based:
Of course, before .a law is made part
of the constitution. It should have
practically the unanimous support of
the electorate. That the prohibition
law in our state has this has been re
peatedly manifested To demonstrate
again tho unanimity of our confidence
In it. and our desire to make it fun
damental and continuous, let every
law - abiding, community - building,
home-loving citizen vote for the pro
posed amendment to make prohibition
part of the state constitution.
Vote "Yes."

Congress Tuesday i
JUNEAU, Alaska, Nov. -1 Alaska
voters tomorrow will elect as territor
ial delegate to congress either Charles
A. Sulzor, Democratic candidate or
James Wickersham, Republican nom
inee. Returns on the night of the fifth, it
is believed, will settle a contest of
over two years' standing between Sul
zer and Wickersham regarding the
possession of the delegateship.
Wickersham, a former delegate, lost
to Sulver by a court recount after the
last election. He carried his case to
Washington, D. C. where it is now m
the hands of a House of Representa
tives election committee.
Messages from Washington last July
said the. committee had decided In fa
vor of Wickersham. Later messages
said the committee decided not to re
port back to the house until after the
November election. In the meantime
Sulzer held the scat.
Tho northern voters on November

a number of representatives to alt

Rolph. seeking two nominations, ob

reported.

DUCK HIT
William Henry Stralton, 272C Mon
roe avenue, son of William and Sarah
Jane Slvatton of Riverdale, died at
G:30 p. m. Saturday, of heart failure,
while hunting ducks on the South Run
west of Hooper. He had gone hunting
with Howard Williams, 5S0 Twenty
second street, trap-drummer at ihe
Orphoum theater, and had just shot hie
first duck. Ho walked from tho blind
which the two men had built, to pick
up tho duck and, as ho reached for it.
fell face down In the mud.
Williams called twice to him, think
ing he was lying down to hide, and
then walked to his side and turned
him over to find ho was dead, his face
resting in the mud and water.
StrattoH was born in Riverdale De
cember 18, 1S05, and lived in Weber
county most of his life. Ho was in
partnership with his brother, Arthur E.
Stratton, in the automobile repairing
business, Twonty-first street and
Washington avenue.
He Is survived by his widow, Laura
E. Rackham Stratton", to whom he was
married a little over a year ago; his
parents; two brothers, Arthur E. and
Clifford, and two sisters, Eva and Flor
ence Stratton, all of Riverdale.
"We left the machine about two
miles or more from where wo made
our 'hide.' said Howard Williams, in
tolling of tho tragedy. "Bill complained
of his heart and I took the guns and
straw to relieve him of the burden. We
waded out In Iho mud about a milo to
the edge o Ihe lake where tho ducks
were plentiful and Bill got one which
circled within about two yards of us.
Ho ran out to whero it had fallno and
it started to fly but he shot It and
reached to pick it up.
"I was busy with my shots and paid
no more attention to him for a minute
or two, but upon looking up, found him
lying face downward In the mud.
Thinking ho was hiding from the
ducks I went out after mine. He had
not moved so I called to him twieo.
then ran lo him. turned him over and
found he was dead. He had been lying
with his face in tho mud and water.
"Two PIngree boys, Vern and Dale,
and Jack Harbertson, were not far
away in another 'hide' and I called
to them. They came over and helped
mo to pull him out of the mud. One
of the PIngree boys went with me to
tho automobile to get help and a quilt
to carry bim in. On the way we met
James II. Riley, of tho Pingree bank,
and his chauffeur They went back
with us. Wo put the body in the quilt
and the six of us-carried if to the ma
chine and brought it to the Lindquist
chapel."

VICTORY IN ST1TE
OF UTAH
The following forecasts of the re-j
suits of Ihe election tomorrow inj
Utah are from the Republican and!
Democratic state headquarters. '
By W. D. Cnndland. i
Chairman Republican State Committee1
Utah is normally a Republican state'
Sho has been swept off her feet occa
sionally by some deceptive slogan such'
as "He kept us out of war." but wheni
the Republican party has been torn
by factional strife and differences.
This year, however, the Republicans
arc united. There are no factions.
A splendid state ticket for Justices
of the supreme court has been nomi
nated. Two strong men of towering!
ability have been selected as congress-!
men; good, capable men have been '
nominated in tho various counties forj
county officers and for the legislature.
Reports received from every county!
in tho state indicate that the Republf-1
cans are alert, .alive to tho importance)
of the occasion and determined to re -:
sent at the polls the attempted dicta-.
tion by Democrats as to how they shall j
vote. We expect to elect our nominees;
for justices of the supreme court, both
our congressmen, a majority of the
legislature and the county ticket in
most of the counties of the state.
By William R. Wallace,
Democratic State Chairman.
In my opinion President Wilson is
stronger in this state than he was two
years ago. At least 25,000 of our citi
zens arc out o the state in the army1
and engaged in war work. The vote,)
therefore, will bo less than that of two
years ago, but tho Democratic plural
ity will probably be proportionately
larger. There are many Republicans
like the late ambassador to the court
of St. James, the Hon. Joseph, H.
Ghoate, who said in nearly his last
public utterance at the time of the
visit 6f Joffre and Balfour to the Unit
ed States:
"I am one of those who complained
of watchful waiting. I havo criticized
the president on account of his refusal
to'4becomo embroiled with Mexico. I!
have been impatient because he hold
aloof from the present war in Europo
until convinced that tho hour was ripe
ind his people ready to enter It. But
Lime has changed my viewpoint and
closer acquaintance with the facts of
svhich he was cognizant has convinced
mo of his wisdom To have followed
iny other course would have suited our
memics and endangered our future."
Thousands of independent Republi
cans arc of tho same opinion and will
,'ote to support the president. ;
