Talk of the Tickets.

The two principal tickets are now be-
fore the people of Ogden practically as
they will be on election day. There
are some good men on the Republican
ticket, but there are just as good men
and better on the Democratic ticket.
Nothing can he urged in favor Of Will
lam Driver that cannot be said with
equal il not greater emphasis in favor
Of John a. Boyle. Nothing can be said
in favor of L. NJ Allison that cannot
be said with equal truth about Howard
Carpenter. II is perhaps true that Mr.
Allison has more rich corporations as
his clients but a man like Howard
Carpenter. who has had as much eX-
peTieDce with individuals as clients.
and who has defended them time and
again in suits with rich institutions is
just as competent TO conduct the legal
affairs OF the city as if he we're on the
pay-roIIs Of 90 rich corporations. 1t is
thus all alonE down the ticket. The
Democratic convention put up a ticket
of strong, able men, excepting, of
course, George Washington Jones.

The Populist general ticket. as fin
ally completed is:
Mayor-John \. Boyle.
Recorder-E. II Anderson.
Auditor-NIrs. Kate S. Hilliard-
Police Justioe-A- Peterson
Attorney-Howard Carpenter.
The two Populist nominees for coun-
Gil who are also on other tickets are
Z. NJ. Conrv, Democrat of the First
ward, and T. 2. Browning, Republican,
of the Fifth ward.
Certain Dema gogues have raised the
cry that the Democratic convention ig-
nored the women of the party by refus-
3rfe- he iTl 81 Nn-
the Democratic convention cd no such
thing. No woman was d candidate Tor
any Office at the hands Of that con-
Vention. No Woman's mama was
brought forward nor was sought to be
brought forward. Women have their
rights as citizens and one Of their
rights is 10 decline 70 take a nOmina-
ton if they so desire. The convention
had no wight TO force q nomination
upon. for instance. Mrs. E. s. Rolapp.
Ladies participated in the Democratic
convention. but none of them asked for
a favor Of the convention which was
not granted.
They say George washington Jones is
alnbling about amongst the voters OF
the Second ward and talking nimbiy
about the great success he Is as a
financier for the city council. how he
Iooeened up the city funds IN the OS-
den State Bank ana how he loosened up
the deadlock in the city council over
the mayors appoiutees. As to the lat
ter, il is said he omits to state that he
first created the deadlock by voting
with the Republicans the very first
time the navor sent il nominations.
when those nominations did not in
cIude Reardsley for auditor or Nunroe
for poll tax collector, both Republic
ans As tn the other matter 70 one
denies his ability as 2 fRancier, either
N looeening up funds or in conducting
his own affairs. That his private bust
ness is a success is not questioned. It
is. on the other hand some
times charged that AIr. Jones is q resi-
dent Of Salt Lake. This is rot true,
although he maintains a ticket brokers'
business there ard such talk should be
dismissed from the discussion OF his
candidacy. He has recently purchased
d valuable fruit farm in the Third ward
worth at the least calculation $1,000.
and it would not be surprising if in q
few more years he should give up the
Salt Lake business altogether and turn
his attention 70 fruit raising and poll
tics At any rate ne is a citizen of
ogden.
