Clever Effort at Stirring Up Oissen-

all its statements. OF course. must be
taken with a good deal OF salt The
! burden of the Heralds song Is that
! Mr.. Glasmann is boosting A. r. Hey
wood for mayor and at the same time
is complaining that the people of Og-
den Will not take kindly TO Mr.. Hey
wood, and that Mr.. Glasmann has an
nounced himself as a candidate. also
| that Mr. Glasmann has selected John
| ID. Murphy as city attorney. John Z.
Baeley municipal judge. William Van
| Dyke as city recorder, Thomas T. Farr
| treasurer
So far as Mr.. Glasmann is concern
ed he Is not a candidate for the office
of mayor: has given no one any en-
CouTagement that he would be a can
didate. and has told the people who
have spoken to him concerning the
mayoralty campaign this fall that A.
II. Haywood is a logical and an avail
able candidate for the office The
Democrats have said he cannot
win. for they fear him, but the Re-

that he seeks the office. or that he

Ogden has had. He is especially
equipped for tho duties OF the Office of
mayor When Mr., Haywood was prac-
ticing law he cared for nothing but his
law business. but since he has been
elected president of the Commercial
National bank and president of the
Weber club, he is a somewhat differ
ent man in that his every interest is
a pu6lic one and for the good OF OC-
den. The people Of Ogden owe to Mr.
Haywood the establishment OF the
forest service In ogden, and | am
convinced had it not been for the en-.
crgetic action Of Mr.. Haywood that
the forest service would have been
located in salt Lake City. The way
he managed the forestry campaign is
enough to convince every fair-mindcd
man that Mr. Heywood's whole am
bition lies in the up-building of Og
den, Utah. There are a number OF
other important things Mr Haywood
has labored for and secured for Og-
den. but none of them so important
as the forest service, a service that

LAS 10 the story In the Herald that
| am opposed to James DeVine for
city attorney, | have made no such
statement 10 anyone. neither have
any knowledge of the combination be-
tween John r. Bagley for judge and
John D. Murphy for city attorney. The
only person who ever told me that
such a combination existed was the
present Attorney James DeVine.
told Mr. DeVine that I would take
no part whatever In the campaign this
fall-that I would neither aid nor op-
pose him as city attorney | have
not consulted with any Republican
leaders concerning the candidacy for
any Office. neither have the Repub-
lican leaders concerning the candi.
dacy for any office, neither have tho
Republican leaders consulted me and
If a slate has been prepared. as stat
ed by the Herald Sunday morning, it
Is without my knowledge or consent.
Some Of the gentlemen named by the
Herald undoubtedly will be nomlnat-
ed for the Offices named and ii Is
probable that the Herald man has
sounded the public pulse as to the
wishes OF the people of Ogden and
has conjured UP in his own mind the
story he published on Sunday morn
ing,
In conclusion I can only say that
II the slate published by the Herald
Sunday morning Is nominated il un-
doubtedly will be elected. but from a
Republican standpoint it looks as II
the Democratic Herald was afraid
that those names IT published as the
slate ticket Will really be nominated.
and II so the Democrats might as well
endorse the ticket. The Herald is
trying to cast odium on those names 1t
has mentioned and TO make the people
believe that a slate by a ring had
been prepared"
