but they cannot be many when /

polls.
If you honestly desire to tell your
thousands of readers just what peo-
pie of Weber county think of me, why
not interview, say one hundred of the
leading business men and taxpayers
of Ogden City, and print what each
one says. Dare you do it? Or are you,
too, one of my enemies who hates and
despises me?
(Signed.) VIM. GLASMANN.
" "
By way of reply to Mr.. Glasmann's
personal letter to the editor of Truth,
and the open letter in the Standard,
we appreciate Mr.. Glasmann's gener
we say we appreciate Mr..
Glasmann's generosity in giving
Truth the benefit of the ad-
vertising afforded by his open
letter in the Standard. The few hun
dred copies which comprises the en-
tire circulation of the STANDARD cannot
be considered as a very effective ad-
vertising medium, but we are duly
thankful for small things. and appre-
ciate the generosity of Mr.. Glasmann
in giving us the best he had.
Mr.. Glasmann is entirely mistaken
in his apparent belief that either
Truth or it's editor bears enmity
towards him. and also greatly mis-
taken in his assumption that we would
not publish his open letter in Truth
where it will be given much greater
publicity than by any or all of Mr..
Glasmann's newspapers. We could
not suffer Mr.. Glasmann to Guido us
in generosity.

me. You make statements that, on
their face, seem an impossibility. For
instance, you say "Glasmann was
thoroughly despised and hated by the
people of Ogden. Yet by some means
or another, not easily understood. he
had a way of compelling those who
despised and denounced him the most
to thoroughly do his bidding"
Then again you say "The generally
accepted explanation of Glasmann' s
power or hold on the people of Weber
county is that he owned a newspaper
and used it so unscrupulously against
his enemies that men were afraid to
oppose him, dreading the lash" Then
you go on and say "Glasmann was
twice elected to the legislature and
twice elected mayor of Ogden''-where
the people all despise, hate or fear
him. Have you ever seen words pre-
senting more incongruous, paradoxical,
absurd statements?
Think moment Do you believe if
the people despised, hated and feared
me they would vote for me on secret
ballot? Do you think such man
could get more votes than our beloved
and martyred president, William Nc
Kinley?
Did the members of the fourth legis
lature of Utah elect me speaker be-
cause they hated, despised and feared
me or my alleged newspaper?
Did the people of Ogden hate and
despise me when they elected me the
first Republican mayor of Ogden and
elected me by almost two-thirds of the
votes cast?
Do enemies who hate and despise,
vote for each other on election day
when they enter the booth and cast a
secret ballot?
Mr. Editor, do you not think that you
are either wrong in your surmises and
that you have been imposed upon, or
that the people of Weber county have
no sense at all, or that the reverse is
true, namely, that the people of We
Der county are just as sensible as the
citizens of any other county in Utah
or the United States, and that Will
liam Glasmann is pretty decent sort
of fellow, but has been maligned and
misrepresented by his designing enc
mics, and that in Weber county, where
they know him best, not all the lies in
the world will turn the people against
him? How does that sound?
Who, Mr.. Editor, has told you that
the people of Ogden, who have so fire.
quently honored me, actually hate and
despise me?
Can you name one Ogden man Of
prominence? Can you name ore sub
stantial Weber county taxpayer who
will tell you that the people of Weber
county hate me, despise me, or feal
me or my alleged paper?
You cannot. Then why did yoi
make such false and absurd state
ments?
All! You say my enemies sly that

A Good Way.

Last spring &. w. Horton en-
gagged Wisconsin agriculturists
to take charge Of his 500 acre
farm in Traill county. The new
manager was astounded when he
took charge to learn that the
farm usually bought it's butter,
his conceptions OF q farm being
that it should produce it's own
butter, Provisions for a dairy
were made at once, the farm in
addition to it's own needs now
supplying the Horton families
with first class butter.
Another innovation on the
farm was the seeding OF eighty
acres to corn which, properly
cultivated and cared for, has
grown into as fine a field of corn
as in Mr.. Parks opinion was
ever raised in Wisconsin or any
other OF the so-called states.
Corn, for the product itself and
for the betterment it affords as a
wheat soil, will be an important
item in the acreage of the farm
hereafter.
He further devoted 100 acres
to feed IN the form OF timothy
and clover into which a large
number OF hogs were introduced
to fatten and thrive. In rota-
ton a certain acreage in this
wise being enriched the whole
farm will be renewed for the main
and revenue making crop
wheat.
And hereafter the farm, in ac-
cordance with the Parks idea of
a farm-whether quarter section
or three section farm-is to fur
nish everything for it's own sus-
tenance, beef, pork, poultry,
eggs, vegetables, butter and milk.

him what he thotght OF submit
ting the herd law question to the
people. The county commits
sioner's exact words are given
below:
II think by all means the herd
law ought to be repealed in Ward
county. I am myself a rancher,
having a ranch out on the Shell
Creek, but l believe that the
farming interests have grown to
such an extent, that we owe to
the farmers the repeating OF this
law. 1t will not interfere with
me in the least and if it did | am
not SO selfish as to try to work
against the interests OF nine
tenths of the voters of Ward
county. l shall certainly vote
IN favor OF submitting the ques-
tion at our meeting in Septem-
Der given an opportunity. |
never opposed the question in
the first place.
Commissioner Torbenson may
be depended upon as being in fa-
vor Of submitting the question.
We believe that the other com.
missioners will agree with Mr..
Torbenson and hope that they
will order the question submit
ted at their meeting next Mon.
day.
