GlaSmannia still runs rampant
through this community. Republican
are determined to keep their local idol
in Office and the higher the Office the
better it suits them. There was keen
disappointment among the faithful
when the civil service commission re-
moved GlaSmana from the Ogden post
Office for violation Of the laws, and
the fact that he was removed for try
Ing to collect funds from those un-
der him for campaign purposes en-
dears him all the more TO those who
run the campaigns in this community.
They look upon him as Il martyr to the
cause OF RepublicaniSm and are deter
mined that he shall have his reward.
There is evidence to show that Glas-
mann has surrendered to the impor.
tunities Of his friends and has agreed
TO serve again as mayor of Ogden
Day after day the columns Of his pa
per are full of the proof. He is de-
termlned to stamp out the reform
movement that threatens to cause
trouble in Republican ranks and crowd
the waterworks issue TO the front.
Glasmann was elected mayor twice on
the pledge of buying the waterworks
system for the city. He failed I'm both
instances, and the fact that some one
else has since done what he failed TO
do is taken as an affront by him-as
throwing a doubt upon his ability as a
statesman and financier. And so he
has trained his guns against the pres
cnt city administration for the pur-
chase of the waterworks. and the nat
ural assumption is that If given suf1i-
cient power he will repudiate the pur-
chase and turn the water system back
10 the private corporation from which
The CITY purchased 1t.
The ticket published in The Herald
some time ago is taken TO he the tick
ct of the local Republican machine
William GlaSmann for mayor. John d.
Murphy for CITY attorney, John f. Bag
ley for municipal Judge, William Van
Dyke for recorder. Thomas Farr for
city treasurer, GlaSmann has such
absolute control of the Republican ma
chinery that all he has TO do is to
speak the word and his word is obey
ed The fact that he has consented to
run for mayor again gives him the
power to name all the balance of the
ticket. and the above is taken TO be
his own personal ticket
In the wards the lineup is not so
clear. but even here the slatemakcrs
are getting things well In hand even
at this early stage of the campaign.
The slate Is not yet complete, but II
is well along in the making, John w.
Austin the present incumbent, will
be up for the First ward: Alex Moves,
John Larson and y. \ Smyth are he
ing pushed forward N the Second.
Smyth has been 4 Democrat hereto

Mr., Glasmann was shown tho fore
going from this mornings Herald and
said:
Better print it in the Standard and
show our readers what our Democrat
ic friends have to- say. The Herald
evidently seeks TO create the impress,
sion that the Republican voters OF Og.
den have nothing TO say about nomI-
mating a ticket 1t aims to create the
impression that | have a ring formed
to nominate the ticket this fall and
In chat way it hopes to stir up dis
satisfaction in the Republican party.
1t will not work The Republicans
are on to the Herald
"If my name is to be that of the
Republican standard bearer this fall,
II will be by no act OF mine as ! am
not m applicant for the Office.
The Herald shonid read the con
stitution Of Utah wherein it will dis
cover that when city once owns a
water system, tho system cannot be
sold without an amendment To the con-
stitution of the state. Hence the story
that anybody wants to sell the water
works is rot"
