JOHN H. LARSON
Republican Nominee for Councilman

resentative of the younger class of
voters Mr.. Larson has won the es
teen. respect and support of the old
as we'll as the young voters, He rep
resents the progressive clement Of
the city that is always for a greater
Ogden.
Mr. Larson was born in Logan.
Cache county, but came to Ogden in
1885 and has made ogden his homo
ever since He was educated in the
Ogden public schools. Upon leaving
the schools. Mr. Larson began work
Ing as an apprentice in the black
smith and carriage business.
About eight years ago he, together
with Peter ]. Anderson organized the
firm of Anderson & Larsan, black
smiths and carriage builders, located
on Twenty-lourth street Their hon

Stated the building of a large and
modern shop on Twenty-four.h street
between Grant and Lincoln avenues,
which Will cost about $4,000. This,
together with the expenditure Of $3.-
500 In a residence in Ogden by Mr.
Larson Is proof in itself that his heart
and soul are for n greater Ogden.
II elected To the position of coun-
Gilman, II is needless TO say that Mr.
Larson will look after the interests
of the taxpayers with the same
amount OF interest as he would his

gives assurance that a vote for Mr.
Larson next Tuesday will be for

Napoleon's Intrigues.

Once in a while the nastiness which
underles French character according
10 British ideas comes to the surface
mitigated by no wit or brilliancy, and this
seems to be the case with the book OF NJ.
Joseph Turquah, which Mr.. J. Lewis May
has translated under the title The Love
Affairs Of Napoleon (John Lane Com
pany). In it appears the name OF every
woman who in any way was connected
with Napoleon, and in 80 far the lover
Of scandal may be gratified.
II detracts fsom the value OF the book
that NJ Turquan has the lowest
possible opinion of Napoleon's moral
character. He regards him as a per
son who was ready to traffic in women
and what they could procure for him,
When his position was established he
treated them wholly from the sensual
side Whether this estimate be true or
rot would be immaterial il the author
only restricted himself to demonstrating
the facts. NJ. Turquan, however, seems
70 glory in the baser side he ascribes to
Napoleon. He gathers gossip without
sitting its probability, Every low in
trigue excites him TO rhapsodies OF his
own on the tender passion and his point
Of view is painfully juvenile and
vulgar.
1t is hard to make out what is fact
and what is purely legend With most
Of the women mentioned it is safe to say
that Napoleon had nothing to do, Over
others it might have been just as
well to draw the veil Of oblivion, for they
were Of no importance. NJ. Turquan's s
salacious, vulgar Napoleon is even more
false than the idealized Napoleon OF the
first half Of the last centuly.
