wiz Lyman DENY 1T

From information that reached
Democratic headquarters yesterday it
is feared that the party may be put
to the disagreeable necessity of prov

Mr.. Lyman was about to deny and to
say that, as he was not at Panguitch
after Frank Cannon was nominated
last year. he could not have used the

such technical grounds as that the
democratic committee may be under
the painful necessity of proving that
IN divers other places Apostle Lyman
used his church position to further the
interests Of the Republican party. For
instance, IN priesthood meeting in
Washington county he used that in

The fact Of the matter is that Apos-
