The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1903-11-04
A Refutation.

The following appeared yesterda,
in our Logan Special and we now pre-
sent it to our county readers in orde
that we may not be injured in
financial way by the statemtnt tina
we are not prepared to do all kinds o
work acceptably. The Republican
sent none Of Logan City's work ava.
but it admits to sending to Provo 70
some of the Smithiield, Millvillc ant
Hyrum work, for the reason that the,
ordered it too late for anybody here t
do the work. We sent it away al
their request and would have done II
all here had the towns notified us ii
time as Logan City did.
This plank has been a prominen,
one in the Republican platform fol
years.
1--WE believe in Logan City working
men for Logan City work and that nc
distinction on account of politics
should be made in the employment OF
men on public works of the City,"
j. p. Smith, the only printer in
town who can do book work asked fol
the privilege recently of bidding or
the contract for furnishing the neces.
sary books, etc. for the coming cleo.
ton, but the Republican councilmen
I'm charge of the work refused to re-
ceive bid from him and gave the
work to the patent" at its own price,
and the publishers of that sheet sent
the work to Provo, thus sending out
of our city about 5000 for work that
could and would have been done bet
ter and as cheaply at home.
Mr.. Smith Is Democrat, and the
patent" wanted rake-otf so the
pledge counted for nothing.-Journal.
The above is a most outrageous mis-
statement of facts, and instead of prov
ing point in favor of the Democratic
party, merely shows the insane jeal-
ously and envy of 1.-THE only" which
continually gets out dirty rag for a
newspaper and doesn't know a good
piece Of work from planer proof. THE
REPUBLICAN was given the Logan
City election work to do and PRINTED
IN THIS OFFICE the Registration
Oaths, Registration Certificates. No
tices of Time and Place of Registra-
ton, Ten Poll Books, ten COPIES of
Official Register" and ten Oflicial
Registers. All the registration books
bear our imprint. are printed on the
type which only this Office has, and
NOT ONE SINGLE PIECE OF THAT WORK
WENT TO PROVO. Any man who had
the brains of a gosling and knew the
difference between an italic space and
wrinkle trimmer would know that
that election work was printed in THE
REPUBLICAN office. We buy all our
ruled goods it Salt Lake, and we DID
SEND TO SALT LAKE for the special job
of ruling required on the registration
books, but the stock and ruling on
this job cost us but 1926.
AS to the appearance of the job and
quality Of the work we leave that for
printers to judge, and we have no fear
that they would say that the work
isn't up to any standard ever set by
j. =, Smith, or any other Logan print
er, For the blacksmithS who handle
that pile of scrap iron at the journal
Office to presume to express an opinion
in regard to any kind of work is ridi-
culous.
As to prices to be paid for that
work, the Logan Journal doesn't
know anything about it. THE BILL
HAS NOT YET BEEN PRESENTED This
paper has done great deal of work
for the city administration, and not
man has ever raised voice against
any bill presented and remember,
too, that there are two Democrats in
that council. We have been governed
in our charges largely by former
charges for the same work, yet in
many instances have been below the
prices of the Journal.
The Republican party has stood by
that part of its platform mentioned
nsthe above, and the ignoramuses who
ute our case as evidence that it
hasn't done that, is in proper shape
or the State Institution at Provo.
