Young Democrat Turns Candidate
administration. No one man has the capacity or the time to personally attend to all the state's business. Administrative achievement depends upon the selection of appointees of substance and worth with an honest desire to serve the people well.

In 1948, Orpha was President of the Parent-Teacher Association at Uintah Elementary School, John Jr. was a Cub Scout, Steve was waiting to "grow into" his trombone, Carmen was taking dancing lessons and Paul, the baby, was the center of attention in the family. John ran a good campaign, and it was said that his "popularity has constantly grown since the day he announced," but he lost to incumbent Governor Maw in the Democratic primary race, and Governor Maw was defeated by J. Bracken Lee in the November election. The following succinct campaign speech was given to a Salt Lake Kiwanis Club August 26,1948: I have listened with interest as this campaign has developed with a view of determining the issues involved.

As for experience - in my humble opinion, there are some experiences that it is just as well I have not had. Some have labeled me as a religious fanatic. 1 make no
