to he clipped from the Ogden dany
nanars hut that later the SeGnl-WeekIy
K Rays votes were admitted. AS Ling
contest grew exciting, coupons Wee
more and more in demand, anu the pa
pers began running off extras. ChaISes
of fraud were made and the StdnuaLu
proposed that an expert printer, L. u.
Browning. from its Office, and announcer
R. a Canine, from the Press ONCE, pe
anDointed 10 scrutinize ballots. Inc
committee. composed of A. G. Horn,
W, L. p. Peyton, Charles Holl1ngs-
worth. decided that such a commfntee
was unnecessary, as they were scru-
tinizing ballots, and were throwing OUT
fraudulent ones. So the matter went
on and candidates began jumping UP
at the rate of thousands day.
Yesterday the manager of The Her
aid bureau received indisputaDle evil
dence of the fact that fraudulent votes
were being printed, and presumably
being cast. He received and still has
an impression showing four of these
coupons printed together in a block. 1t
was asserted that this block came
from the Standard Office, and was
printed there. The false coupons are
certainly very clever limitations of the
Standard coupon. They were submit
ted to several expert printers OF the
city, all of whom said that while they
were not Identical with the Standard
coupon, they closely resembled it, and
might have been set from the same
case of type, but were not printed
from the same galley. The coupons are
Identical in size and shape, the differ
ences being in the style of some of the
letters and other characters. The Even
ing Press, IN a flash head article last
night, directly charged the Standard
manager with conniving at the fraud
a part of its arraignment being as fol-
lows:
1.-THE Evening Press got on a scent
three days ago, which, ON being care
fully followed up, ended at the Stand
ard office The only thing left to do
was to secure indisputable proof of
the fact that the fraudulent votes
which have been flooding the ballot
boxes this week were printed ait the
office of the Standard, whose editor
and manager, it will be remembered, is
also chairman Of the committee of ar
engagements for the Fourth of July eel
ebration. And this proof is now in the
possession Of the Evening Press. 1t
consists CT copies of the voting coupon,
four to a, sheet, that were printed ON
job press last night at the Standard
office, and the testimony of at least
four eye witnesses who saw them
printed there, and who also saw the
manager of the morning sheet present
while they were being printed
Mr.. Glasmann said in regard to the
Irregularities charged by the Press,
that no Illegal ballots had been printed
in his Office with his knowledge. He
accounted for the blocks of four" bal
lots by saying that some of the boys
in the office had put some blocks of
type together and run off a few strips
for themselves. and that the strip in
possession of The Herald man was pos
sibly one of these He had stopped it
as soon as 1t had come to his knowl-
edge. However, he had filled a large
order of about 1000 papers yesterday
morning by running off these papers,
printing only the sheet having the
coupon on. The purchasers of these
papers had asked that the coupons
only be delivered, so they had been cut
out in the Standard Office. Full paper
