GLASMANN GIVEN
TWO HARD JOLTS
Apostle Shoots Left Bower
Repudiated Twice in
One Day.
AFTER TWO CHAIRMANSHIPS
BUT DOESN'T LAND EITHER
Machine Is Handed a Couple
of Raps That Mean
Something.

Figuratively speaking, William Glas-
mann, editor of the Ogden Standard,
and left bower of Apostle Reed Smoot,
in Weber county, was given couple
of raps IN the jaw Monday which
should hold even a less presumptious
Individual than Glasmann, for a while,
at least
Glasmann came to Salt Lake Monday
with the intention of securing control,
as president, of both the Utah Press
association and the Utah Republican
Editorial association.
For the first-named place Glasmann
was trimmed by s. l.. Radon of Park
City to the tune of 30 votes to IA.
This too, In the face of the fact that a
number Of Republicans voted for Glas-
mann, as president Of the State asso-
citation for the express purpose of using
that fact as lever to defeat his cleo
tion As president Of the Republican
association.
His Second Reputation
In the contest for the presidency of
the Utah Republican Editorial asso-
citation, the opponents Of the Smoot ma
chine had so well organized themselves
for the defeat of Glasmann, or any
other Smootite sympathizer, that Glas-
mann 8 friends did not dare present his
name. Harry j. Robinson was the
choice Of the anti Smoot people and
was elected by acclamation, after lie
Roy Armstrong, Democratic editor of
the Smootlte organ, had been scared
out of the race.
This was a blow to the Smootlte rep
resentatiye from Weber county, which
came MS near cutting him to the quick
as anything could. Glasmann, it must
be remembered, has been the prime
mover IN the organization of this asso-
clatlon, acting in behalf of the Nation
al Republican association, and he was
surprised, TO say the least, when defeated
by young man who is opposed to the
Smoot machine and who has only been
a resident of the State a short time.
The meeting of the Utah Press as
soclation, non-partisan organization,
was held first, the sessions opening in
room 400 of the Wilson hotel at 10
o clock In the forenoon.
The committee having the matter of
reorganization IN charge further report
ed that the treasurer announced $25 on
hand and that there was due TO the as
soelatlon S25 from former Treasurer
Williamson and 500 from former Presi-
dent Felt. Mr.. Felt explains that the
500 referred to represents money re-
bated to the association at the time of
the Portland excursion, because of the
fact that 4 Pullman car chartered by
the association, was not used during
the entire time, The money thus re-
bated, Mr. Felt says, was returned to
the members who had paid the amount
IN.
The recent resignation of President
Felt and President England also
was reported, together with the inten-
ton heretofore reached that all officers
should tender their designations, pri-
mary to forming new association, pro-
vided that the new organization take
the name of the old. This report was
adopted, the old officers resigned. COM
mittees were appointed to do the pre-
liminary work for the new association
and adjournment was taken until 9
o clock in the afternoon
Afternoon Session.
When the afternoon session opened
reports of committees were called for.
and II. j Robinson of the Bingham
Bulletin presented the report of the
Committee on Order Of Business, which
was adopted in the form as followed in
the later proceedings.
j Nj. kirkham of the Lehi Banner |
then presented the report of the Com
mittee on Constitution and BYLAWS
the matter OF bylaws going over to a
later date. The constitution, as rec.
provided that only bona fde |
newspaper men, who give majority |
of their time TO the business be eligible |
to membership, and that if it is found |
subsequently that any member does not |
fulfill the requirements that he be |
dropped. 1t was also provided that the |
officers, comprising a president, three
Independents, secretary, treasurer
and historian be an executive commit
Tee. The other provisions were the
