No material saving can be accomplished through any to reduce the executive, attempt legislative or judicial or in other words, primary expenses of the state government. is much more similar and argument in the speech, and the ugument cannot be disputed: the ney is being spent, and spent for e purposes set forth.

There are people in Ogden who are not favorable to Air. Francis for the office of mayor, but what can they do so long as they allow one daily newspaper to monopolize the business of daily moulding public opinion. Ogden needs a Moses to lead her out of the wilderness of debt contracted while Mr. Francis was mayor. Ogden needs a mayor who has proven his ability to succeed in the business world, that he may apply business principles to the administration of the affairs of the city. The possession of the columns of the only daily newspaper in a city like Ogden is a tremendous obligation. It is more potent than the dollar sign, and one wonders whether or not it is being aeeepted as the qualification of a candidate for office instead of capacity and ability.
