OGDEN, July l9.-The proposed ap-
pontment of William Glasmann for the
Ogden postmastcrship, as announced In
ogden yesterday by Joseph Howell is
not palatable TO the people OF the city
and II his name is presented the Presi-
dent there will be o most vigorous pro-
test go forward The record OF the man
whom Howell has announced he would
name is so odorous and so offensive is
he TO majority of the people that there
Will be a howl go up II the Congressman
carries out his present intentions.
Many OF the leaders of the Smootite
party have taken up their arms They
say that Glasmann's appointment means
defeat. sure and certain, to the Smoot-
lite party this fall In Weber county. Oth-
ers designate II as an outrage on the de-
cent people OF the community and others
that there Is other. more desirable and
celaner material and better Smootites In
the city TO whom the honor might be
extended. and this includes Mr.. Davis.
the present Incumbent.
A number Of prominent men OF ogden
we're interviewed today on the subject,
and not one not a single one, expressed
himself favorable TO this political out
rage. Some OF the expressions are print
ed herewith:
What the People Say.
Dan Ensign, proprietor Broom hotel
cannot indorse Glasmaun for the Office. He is
TOO much OF trickster TO be in charge of
such an Office. The President policy that
efficient men, who have proved themselves
such should be retained in ONCE, means
that II the dirty politics of Utah are kept
out Thomas H. Davis will succeed himself.
4 close neishbor OF Glasmnnn said: The
proposed appointment is outrage on tho
people of Ogden. II n popular vote wero
ialcn Davis would be retained. II Glssmann
is appointed the American party viii win
Joe Howcll's campaign, but il is the rock
he will split on and II is going 20 make trou
bio for the smootite party. The proposed
appointment, is so unfit and so unpopular
that cannot believe it will be made.
John S. Lewis, president OF the Civic
Leasue-Of course. have been an ardent
cient postmaster ogdon has ever had, and
in the handling OF the Office he has satisfied
the whole people. To dcbase the ohlcc for
political ends would he step backward.
Davis should b. all means be reappointcd.
George Hnlvcrson, District Attorney do
not 10 he quoted in regard TO the mat
cd Weber county will certainly be lost TO the
Republican party in the coming election.
What Is Noted.
II will be noted that none OF these ex-
pressions are in opposition 10 Davis. and
that some of them are la the nature OF
an endorsement. while every one is an
tagonistic TO Glasmann. And that is the
sentiment that prevails In Ogden.
4 number of others were seen. but the
majority refused or declined TO have
their names uesd One man said: with
my experience of the man ] would not
let my business mail come into Ogden
nor the Ogden postofflce II his appoint
ment be confirmed" and numerous other
like expressions and opinions of con-
tempt were made.
The pointed remarks came from the
staunchcst OF the Republicans: 1T will
ruin the party. We VIII lose in Weber
county, sure. II the man is appointed
the Amrican ticket will win. Joe Howell
will go back TO Cache county and go on
the farm IL he permits or recommends
this outrage on decent people.
These are mere samples OF the express
sions OF dlsapproval OF the mistaken
course OF Howell 1t is explained that
Glasmann Is not only 10 give support TO
the Howell movement. but that he is
also TO be instrumental with packing the
Weber county delegation to the copven-
tion with Howell men, Those informed
say that he viii fail in this, because
decent men Will not follow him. Al any
rate Howell has stirred up hornets s
nest in the camp of people who were his
friends. and from present indications
there is no elixir that will remove the
pain of the sting
