"PARTY STANDS FOR ELIMINATION OF STATE GOVERNMENTS"

CONNECTICUT COUPLE ASK NAMES TO BE PUT ON UTAH BALLOTS FOR 1924 PRESIDENTIAL TICKET

Salt Lake City, Utah (JFK+50) On May 21, 1923, The Alaska Daily Empire reports that a Mr. and Mrs. David S. Beach of Bridgeport, Connecticut have sent a letter to Utah state authorities stating that they plan to run for President and Vice-President of the United States in the Election of 1924.

The couple say they represent the "People's National Independent Corporation Ticket," and request their names be added to 1924 election ballots in Utah.

The Daily Empire reports that the PNIC stands for elimination of "all state governments" and the establishment of only one "central" government.

Mr. Beach has even gone so far as naming his prospective cabinet.
