There was complete absence Of Glas-
mannism at the city Republican conven-
tiOn held yesterday. Glasmann did not
even grace the convention with his pres
ence. His lieutenant, F. w. Chambers,
however, was on hand, but was silent
throughout the proceedings, which were
carried through with remarkable rapid
} ity. Rudolph Kuchler was the permanent
chairman, and his example of cutting out
: long speeches was in the main followed
during the meeting so that in less than
two hours and thirty minutes the entire
7 list Of candidates was selected.
There was the lack of the old-time en-
thuSiaSm. AS a matter Of fact there
were fewer persons in attendance at the
convention than at any like gathering in
years. There was only one real fight dur
ing the session. and that was for the Of
flee of treasurer.
William Craig. who was selected to head
the ticket, turned out to be decidedly pop
uar at the convention. although it is an
nounced that Glasmann has decided to
fight against his election and for this
purpose ii is claimed Chambers was in
duced 10 withdraw his name from the race
for council from the Fourth ward at
the recent primaries.
In connection with the nomination for
CITY attorney for which both J. II. De-
vine. the nominee, and David Jensen were
candidates, a movement was started on
Thursday night to induce Jensen to with
draw and go after the judgeship against
J. D. Murphy. During the convention yes
by promising Jensen the appointment as
assistant city attorney. This plum was
accepted and Jensen seconded the nom
nations of both Devine and Murphy
Two Candidates for Mayor.
For mayor but two names were pre-
presented to the convention-William
Craig and Dr. A. S. Condor. 1t took but

convention. Craig received % and Condor
81 In a short speech afterward Condor
said he dislikeN being beaten for the nom
inatiOn. but waN glad that II took the best
Republican in ogden to bring it about.
In the addresses, especially that of the
chairman of the city committee and the
temporary chairman, an American ticket
probability was referred to- Let good
enough alone" was pleaded, and more
than once the conditions as they appeared
to- be in Salt Lake under American
party rule were referred to. Even Bishop
f. W. Wade, in nominating + r.. Dal-
ton for city treasurer. took a fling al
Salt Lake and the American party ad-
ministratiOn in that city.
Usual Platform Adopted.
The platform was almost wholly di-
Tected at Ogden's present Democratic ex-
eCutive. 1t is as follows:
The Republican party of Ogden City
in convention assembled endorses and at
1lfflS Ille principles Oh OGI party aS al
nounced I'm the national and state plat
forms of the party. We commend the
policy of the national Republican admin
1stration in protecting the rights and pro-
noting the welfare Of the general public
and perpetuating the era of prosperity in
augurated by that grand statesman, Viii
liam Mckinley.
I'VE favor an economical administra-
ton of municipal affairs in order thai
warrants of the city shall be worth their
face value.
I'VE favor public Improvements consist
ent with the needs of our growing city
and with the ability OF property owners
and taxpayers to meet the obligations in
CURED.
That under an administration, all Re
publican, we Will be enabled TO bring
about a progressive and at the same time
economical government of the city.
I'VE therefore deprecate any departure
from the straight Republican ticket as
named by its representatives in cOnven-
ton assembled and urge all voters to as
sist il replacing the credit of Ogden City
