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." (Signed) DAVID O. McKAY oo If you are not satisfied with the raise in your taxes, brought about through Democratic ad ministration, vote the Repub lican ticket.

WilSTIITTOKS SUDDENLY WHItE OH 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."

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."
