LOATH TO LET GO
Of THE OFFICES
Most of the Men Holding City
Places in Ogden Are
Seeking Support.

When the campaign opens up for the
fall city election this year most all OF
the present Republican office holders Will
be found lined up seeking denomination
and election. AS far as the head of the
ticket is concerned the consensus OF
opinion is that Glasmann will be the Re
publican nominee, although the mayoralty
pee is said to be buZZing within the heads
of William Craig, at present president OF
the city council and Harvey p. Randall,
formerly a member of the same body.
Both Of these men hail from the Third
ward
For the city recordership w ]. Critch-
low will likely be a candidate to succeed
himself, at least he said Friday prior TO
starting for Sacramento that he would be
candidate for that office if he was A
candidate at all At the same time he
denied being a candidate for council
man.
Salary Not Large Enough.
r. a. Moyes will not be a candidate
for the office of city treasurer. Mr.
Moves was appointed to the position
about a year ago, when James Halverson
son that the office is of such importance
that the salary should be made large
enough so that the man elected to the
office could give his entire attention to

self a candidate for the place. Mr.. Dali
ton Is at present deputy in the county
clerks office
Mrs. Florence o. Stanford is candi-
date for reelection as city auditor, and
so far she is the only person whose
name is mentioned for the place. She
has served but one term, and the rule
here seems TO be that person is en-
titled to two terms in office. providing
he or she can get it.
John e. Bagley, who has been looked
upon as a sort of fixture in the city
attorneys chair. came forward yesterday
Wit ha 81 ont haf he mot
be a candidate again this year. During
the past year Mr.. Bagley has had an as
sistant who has handled a greater por-
ton of the duties of the office The as
sistant is Attorney James II. DeVine,
who will make a try this year for the
position. So far Mr.. DeVine is the only
man mentioned for the place. and he
seems to have good chance for landing

Judge ]. d. Murphy, appointed by Will
liam Glasmann TO succeed Judge ]. A.
Howell, when the latter was elected to
the district court bench. and who was
nominated and elected without opposi-
tion two years ago, has so far hesitated
to announce his candidacy for reelection.
1t is expected, however, that he will be
full-fledged candidate for the office
before the campaign is far advanced.
For the Council.
Getting down to the councilmanic ques-
tion it Is already evident that there will
be plenty doing when it comes to select
ing those who will be called upon TO
make the race this year. 1t is altogether
likely that the greatest struggle will be
in the Fourth ward, where Edwin VIII
liams was appointed a councilman to
fill the uneXpired term of Fred w. Cham
bers. Mr.. Williams says he is a candi-
date for election to the office, and there
is a strong movement on foot to send
Mr.. Chambers after the position again.
The contest will be interesting from sew
eTal viewpoints.
In the First ward A. E. Weatherby,
who was appointed to fill the unexpired
term of ex-Councilman r. B. Paine, said
yesterday that he would not seek the Of
flee again. At the same time a movement
has been started in that ward that will
likely land the nomination once more for
Mr.. Paine. A H. Moyes is out red hot
after the denomination from the Second
ward, and it will not be his fault if he
fails to land it.
emphatic in stating that he will not be
a candidate for reelection to the council.
He said yesterday that his friends had
been trying TO get him to go after the
mayOrality, but as yet he had not de-
cided whether or not he would do so.
Joseph B. Dana, who was defeated by
Samuel Thomas, Democrat, two years
ago, is said to be working hard for the
nomination to succeed Mr.. Craig. H. p.
Randall. another ex-councilman, is being
urged by his friends to go after the
same plum, but he has not yet made up
his mind to accede to their wishes. Neils
KnudSen is also mentioned as probable
candidate from the Third
In the Fifth there is plenty of material,
but the aSpirants have been keeping IN
der cover so far. T. s. Browning, Demo
crat, another of those appointed to office,
completes his term this fall and says
that will end II so far as he IS con-
cerned. as he has no idea Of being can
didate.
