OBusil, because the city ola 1tS regal
advertising In the Evening Standard,
shows to what vieness the Utah poit-
ical -" will lend himself.
Frank Cannon was member of the
Ogden city council from Feb. IA, 1891.
until some time in January, 1893, dur
ing all that time Frank j. Cannon was
editor and manager Of the ogden
Standard, during all that time he was
city councilman and. not only editor
and general manager OF the Standard,
but the principal and largest owner of
the said Standard.
While this same Cannon was the
Standard owner and a city officer, the
following law was in forces
Section 1870, Volume /, Revised laws
of the Territory OF Utah. 1858, which
is word for word the same as the pres
ent law. Section No. 222, the law
quoted by Cannon's paper:
Section 222 of the revised statutes of
the state OF Utah, which was Section
1870 Territorial laws OF Utah, is as
follows;
Officer Not to BE Interested in Con-
tract-No officer shall be directly or
indirectly Interested in any contract,
work or business OF the city, or In the
sale of any article, the expense. price
or consideration of which is paid from
the treasury, or by any assessment
levied by any act or ordinance nor in
the purchase of any real estate or any
other property belonging to the cor
poratiOn, or which shall be paid for
by taxes or assessments or by virtue of
legal process at the suit of said cor
poration, mayor or other officer of the
city"
Here then. we find that Frank Cam
non was subjected to the same law
that the present city councilmen and
mayor are subjected to
Did the city do its advertising in
Frank Cannons Standard, when he
was a councilman? You bet he did
and at big rates too,
The ex-mayor of Ogden never or
dered an advertisement in the stand
ard and never voted to pay for one
but Frank Cannon did, when he was
councilman
Why. Frank Cannon and Doc. Graves
We're so raw at one time about adver-
Using In the Standard that Mayor
Turner vetoed the scheme to have the
paving specifications published.
After reading Frank Cannon's attack
on me. In yesterdays Tribune ] took
down the files Of the STANDARD for 1892
and. behold. the paper Is filled with
city advertisements by the vote of
Frank j. Cannon, city officer and own
err OF the Standard.
The prices Frank Cannon charged are
enough to make decent ogden citizen
blush for having ever voted for such a
social outcast as Frank j. Cannon.
II 1t is a crime TO be a city officer and
owner Of a newspaper that prints city
advertisements, then Frank ]. Cannon

For he was the only owner OF a news
paper In Ogden. city officer. who vot-
ed to put advertisements IN his own
paper and voted to pay for the same
from city funds.
Frank Cannon, you are the biggest
that was ever elected to an Office
In Utah.
Look at the following and see how
Frank Cannon, the self-confessed
CRATER robbed the city Of Ogden.
For estray notices Frank Cannon
charged $3.50 each. while during the
past four years only Sl.75 has been
charged for each notice.
For the city financial statement
Frank Cannon charged the city s3l.SS,
while under Glasmann only $500 was
charged for the same financial state
ment.
For equalization board notices Fnnk
Cannon charged for a rs line notice
$3.50. while under Glasmann 81 line
notice cost only $40.
We turn the pages Of the Standard
file and take the following dates and
amounts to show that Frank Cannon
city officer. during his whole term Of
Office had the city advertising done In
his newspaper-that he voted for Il and
voted to pay It, Note the following

The foregoing Is enough 20 show that
Frank Cannon, an ogden city officer. a
confessed robber, and owner OF the
standard worked the city for all there
was In 1t.
The foregoing is by no means q
