but tor the assistance ot the two gentlemen the paper would have died read mr bowmans statement and see how tha democrats tried to unload the odium ot the journal onto the republicans editor examiner I 1 want you to positively state that the herald tells s falsehood when it says I 1 am the representative of the gambling element of ogden city 1 am not such a representative and never have been and never claimed to be I 1 have not been in any gambling house in this city except one in months I 1 have sever solicited or received any feuds from any gambler for the state journal nor have I 1 at any time since the nomination of both tickets made any effort to influence any gambler to vote for either ticket nor have I 1 been in any ot their houses since then and further I 1 made the arrangements to make the state journal republican not because I 1 represented kuchler or any oilier ogden man but because bulard snyder the principal backer of the state journal is my brother in law ha has furnished the money for s long time to curf the state journal Jo I 1 went to salt lake city and told my birther inlaw that he was foolish to aw up money for a democratic paper while he himself was a lifelong life long republican and I 1 brought instructions from MB snyder tb maae the paper republican mr meteor the manager also being a republican and a mem of the republican state central committee lust no time in turning the paper republican neither mr ru dolph kuchler nor any one represents irm paid one cent toward making cappi republican in fact noth u s giitl to change the politics of isi ei alio democratic board of i jis 10 laise money to tie paper going 1 told mr ir aei hat mr sadder and I 1 would p the losses of the paper for a while it it went republican otherwise no and the paper either had to die or 0 o republican as the democrats refused to pay am thing to kep the democratic paper alive I 1 also state that henry gwilliam and W W the democratic knew that the paper would tea changed to a republican paper and signified their willingness to have the change made now the nuth of the maner Is that both I wllliam and bi owning have endorsed a efty note tor ile state journal and had refused 0 o furnish any more money hut rather than see the paper die preferred fo ha e li go 0 o the republicans if the republicans would keep it going as n ahls wai would be a prospect 1 of heir getting their names oft the not there is no reason why the gentlemen should squeal at this late date ci try to shove the responsibility foi the change 0 the journal an to ischler who never put up a cent for ii mr kuchler did not go with me to salt lake to see senator kearns or any other person in the interest of the journal or for any other purpose the herald misrepresents mr kuchler as well as myself further senator kearns does not own ono share of stock or any other interest in the state journal I 1 never solicited aid from him in fact have not talked with him in ten or fifteen years this all shows conclusively how the herald has misrepresented the whole transaction signed B A BOWMAN shame on you democrats your leaders have been trying to create the impression that senator kearns bought the paper and they did so in order to put the taint of keagins support on kuchler and all the time democratic directors of the flopping sheet were consenting and agreeing to let the state journal go republican because as sworn directors of the journal they refused to provide the money 0 o pay the employed emp loyes we say shame on you to try and ax the odium on rudolph kiichler when you knew he had nothing to do with it you knew that brigham bowman and his brother in law were the men your people did business with it Is known that doctor conroy ailed for the journals support the day he was nominated and manager meteer told him the paper was on its last legs and unless he paid for the expenses of the paper to election day no support could be given to him the doctor refused ta pay anything and then went up u the democratic convention and said be could have a pa per to support him if he wanted to buy one but he had declined the democrats ought to be ashamed of themselves to refuse to support their own paper and then complain when others do so but it is slander for tarm to try and cast odium upon innocent people who had nothing to do with the deal rt looks as though the democrats were ashamed of their paper and purposely fixed it so the paper would be forced to support the republican pany in order to maintain itself energy all gone headache stomach out af pf order
