Show OGDEN ELECTION the result of the municipal contest in ogden february kh was a substantial victory for the citizens ticket the liberal candidates for mayo four councilmen and two justices of the peace having been defeated the greatest interest seems to have centered upon the mayoralty the fight for which was not only earnest and intense but in some of its phases quite interesting it began to look rather blue for the citizens an hour or so wore before the closing of the polls and some of the more jubilant liberals were offering immense odds 0 on u their success with few if any takers the methods resorted to by the gang as it was called while not altogether new to the political aren arena were nevertheless about as reprehensible as 88 anything of the kind ever practiced in the country one illustration of this being the numerous cases of illegal voting the offenders in every instance being heelers or hirelings of the liberal party or some of its managers the active part taken by the saloon element in the canvass and the arrest of the proprietor of the novelty theatre a resort with a most unsavory reputation together with the latter individuals lle arrest 0 on in the charge of bribery and his immediate release through the assistance of the whisky ele element would seem to show conclusive conclusively y about tle tie standard of morality which the liberals possessed and relied upon to carry them through safely it is no open secrete secret but an ope open n fact that the I 1 tough I 1 I 1 element was almost to a man for that party and that nearly the entire strength of the opposition consisted of men not noted as saloon frequenters and standing high in the community as commercial professional or industrial citizens this very nearly dearly tells the whole talland tale and gives a reamon reasonably ably fair idea of what a desperate struggle the law and order people had on their hands bands while it faintly illustrates the th importance of the result and the gratification fi of those who achieved it one incident out of many similar related to us we deem beem worthy of men lion As sheriff belknap bellnap was on his way to the county jail witha with a prisoner charged with illegal voting hoaas he was intercepted by a special officer acting ing ostensibly in the interest of good order but in reality for the furtherance of the liberal pro gramme the latter demanding of the sheriff that he be release his prisoner this insolence was met by the officer with an outburst of defiance he ordering the other to clear out or he would be arrested too the clearing took place instanter but the ed liberal went before a commissioner and swore out a complaint against the sheriff for intimidating io voters terel he was released on his own recognizance and instructed by a lawyer present to make a counter complaint against the deputy for obstructing ting an officer in the discharge of his bis duty the good people of our sister city are satisfied with their work and the news heartily congratulates them upon it the citizens as stated carried the majority and elected four councilmen and two justices of the peace following are the tabulated returns TIO TICKET KirT t id t id 1 NAME t bt or t g i 0 a 0 s 5 M mayor or 17 WH H turner 14 1494 Is 18 Re recorder norder john 8 corlew borlew 65 IN 1878 treasurer 0 P jennings 2 SW 31 3 1 1929 col collector lector E T flu laniski 4 1402 marshal george lB buck uck 12 1389 total tot maj list let ward council W W fange fang let it ward council oun B B E dean WH I 1 t ward justice B H ternes 9 2nd and ward Lo council uncil frank wco WO woodburn wooburn oburn ax 2 4 2nd and ward council HO H O 0 hartog 2517 and 2nd nd ward Just justice ioe I 1 williamson williamson Will tamson ward council thomas D dee 97 7 ard 3rd ward council B W shurtliff 2 78 73 3rd ard ward justice levi billings 99 at ath ward council john hurst burst ath ward council W 8 stone ath V ward ard justice M H 0 ath ward council counci frank fank J cannon 42 ath ward council james A calvert Oal vert 15 bah ward justice 0 B pash 81 NAJIB i 1 d 1 ft T V 0 a A 14 S mayor J W mcnutt 96 95 recorder thos bryan 74 collector richard i name hume MM treasurer Irea surer r irate W elbrich 51 in afi no marshal ami 1165 J W metcalf Met calt 5 1211 total tm mat first ward council K R 0 lundy 1 aj Fir stWard council john lomanis Mo Manis WL first ward justice thos B E fitzgerald second ward council H H tapen car second ward council dr M N graves Ur aves second ward justice george it L third thir d ware council frank A cook 13 third thir d ward council robert shaw T third h ir d ward justice Ju itice A 0 newill F fourth ourt h ward council bounell M K allison 11 11 fourth ward council J X B R elliott vl 2 fourth ward justice val gideon 4 fifth ward council B A reed heed fifth W rd Coun council wm win harcombe fifth ward Ja justice stice T A whalen |
