The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1919-01-07

that Mr. Vernon received unanimous vote BY that you
mean four votes AS that is onefth of your total vote
at the recent election will not quarrel with YOU
SIXTH-YoU AGREE WITH ME: You agree with
me that the people of the Fourth ward should have had
chance vote for Mr. Vests successor and thereby adj
NIT all The Republican has claimed AS that is the all
important matter Bishop after all stand common
ground" But it is your laundering around after this
admission, to legaze your illegal methods that gets me-
Bishop But if am the only one, why should you care?
No one takes any notice of my rawlings"
SEVENTH You say Possibly the
Board should not be so ignorant" You are right, and
notwithstanding your many incongrutes forced to
agree with you again. Ignorance of the law excuses
body" is old maxim that is hereby respectfully ten
dered to you. t-.--.,rsJ..-~s ,-4.asa ell I'd s.
EIGHTH-FIXING THE BLAME: You ask me
where does the blame rest?" And then you ask
lis there any law requiring members of ward to keep
track of where members in other wards ive?" In the
first place. you the President of the Board cannot fix
the blame how private citizen, enlghen you! In
the second place. would not be unfair to infer that
your duty to keep track of the residence of your
fellow members Frankly think your point well taken
there But you admit that you knew Mr. West had moved
and you want to fix the blame. Surely the bla i
rests somewhere pretty close to the board Why not ask
Mr. West? Let's join in asking him to explain and if he
can't explain let's ask the Democratic County Chairman
Mr. Vernon He is close to West and Haistone and your
sef and besides he the beneficiary of your acts and
he lives the Fourth ward and next to the Board ought
to know Place the blame. Bishop, let's have it.
| NINTH-THE NOISY EDITOR: You want to know
keep the board straight this matter Frankly Bishop
thought you, your friend Mr. Hailsone, and perhaps
the other members among those who took notice
of me, therefore had almost forgotten you Now that
II find mystef mistaken, am sorry you were defeated
am deprived of any future nosing around in order
of service to you in matters pertaining to the Fourth
ward.
| TENTH-NO POLITICS IN SCHOOL BOARD:
You claim there was no politics in the selection of Mr.
Vernon Perhaps not but here the circumstances Mr.
Vernon is the Democratic County Chairman Mr. West
la good Democrat; yourself and Mr. Haistone are mild
Democrats to say the least you have voted twice to fill
vacancies in the Fourth ward and both times for Dem
ocrat You have voted for Republican member of
the School Board. Either through ignorance inadvert
ence design you refused to let the people of the Fourth
ward vote to fill the vacancy You succeeded by
Republican in your ward, and Notwithstanding the fact
that the Fourth ward membership had been vacant for
sx months you rushed Mr. Vernons appointment before
Mr.. Casio took his seat. Now Bishop you dwell some
what circumstances on your next point, and really
honor bright don't you think the circumstances are
against you in the matter of the Democratic County
Chairmans appointment And that is all that has been
charged simply that circumstances against you that's
a AS to politics in the Board rather think you have
been careful ever since you got your first jolt when you
were first elected You will recall that unsuccessful at
tempt of yours to elect Democrat for clerk of the Board
ELEVENTH-YOUR PERSONAL WHINE: Your
personal whine in the matter of your defeat is be-
lifting to yourself OF you disappointed and
are You went to your own and your receiv
ed you not and now your own saying Let the CALLED
jade VINCE our withers are unwrung You flatter me
by charging with staging the deal In paragraph
you say few people pay any attention to me- and in
another paragraph you credit with staging the most
telling sweeping and humatng election catastrophe in
the history of the city. You humiate me moment
and elevate the next thank you for the compliment
i realize like the drowning grasping for straw,
you must lay it to someone so if you get any sasTac
ton In charging it up to me- go ahead Frankly pre-
fer to be with the 76 that voted against you than with
the 20 that stood by you and between yourself and Mr.
Casto commend the good judgment of the &C. And
again, Bishop if am the guilty party performed a
are kicking themselves, according to current
the Streets because they did not know that Mr. Casio
