Three Score and Ten in Retrospect
Another jab was taken at Governor Lee in a keynote address on the campus of the Utah State Agricultural College in Cache Valley: Mr. Allen, Guests, Fellow Democrats: I am not only singly honored by being invited to speak to you on this occasion, but a near-nostalgic yearning to spend an evening at the Utah State Agricultural College is being most pleasantly relived. My father, my wife, and my wife's mother and father, all received their education at this historic institution. The old Sorosis Sorority still forms an adequate excuse for Orpha to meet with her old school companions of the A.C. School day stories from my father acquainted me with the whole Caine family and Uncle Ben Eldredge long before I had the pleasure of meeting any of them. I thrill with you in the realization of this Student Union Building - a magnificent addition to a grand school. My attention was directed to a short but interesting article appearing in the Salt Lake Tribune of yesterday morning. The headline, or caption, reads: "One Shot Lee Off." No, Mr. Allen, it does not say "a way off" it just says "off." The article then continues "Governor J. Bracken Lee left Monday afternoon for Lander, Wyoming, to participate in the one-shot Antelope hunt." Now, the Governor goes gunning quite often. You perhaps will recall that some time ago while returning from one of his frequent trips to the East he arranged for a stop-over to participate in a trap-shooting contest. The Governor is especially adept at trap-shooting. But the next time he attends a Governor's conference, heavily laden with his ideas on the United Nations, income tax, and education, he could avoid considerable embarrassment, and do the people of the State of Utah a distinct favor, if he would only learn to keep his trap shut. (Address delivered 9/1/54.) John certainly didn't need another job in 1956. In addition to his other clients, he was being kept busy as attorney for the Ute and Hopi Indians, and by work for other Indian tribes. John had become Bishop of the Yale Second Ward in November, 1953, and would continue in that position until December, 1958.
