Show m A iveelc ago last Saturday the Evening Standard published the ar- . tide appearing on the lower half of this page today, which is rcpro- J duced, word for word, without the change of one letter as it is the ( 9 same article. The type was kept standing for the express purpose . . i of trapping that trust paper, the Ogden Examiner. That cor- x , -J poration sheet comes out and says that the publisher of the Bv ,4 , m ning Standard is a "liar" for publishing the statement made on tl" t .. lower half of this page. Now to make it interesting, the Evening Standard will give to any well known charity to be named by tho : Examiner, $1,000, if it proves that the statement on the lower half of this page, concerning the governor and legislature passing tho laws bonding the state of Utah for over two million dollars, is false and untrue, on condition that if the Standard proves that the same : are true and correct by presenting the laws as passed by the legis-: legis-: lature and signed by the governor, then the Examiner shall pay $1,000 to the Martha Charity society of Ogden, Now, Mr. Exam- iner, you have shouted "liar" in your editorials for days; you , bay the publisher of this paper lied whon he printed the lowor half i of this page; we throw the lio back into your teeth and offer a I $1,000 reward for you to show that this paper lied in printing the 4 lowor half of this page, in exposing the true record of Governor ; Spry's administration. j; The convict in prison says liar when he is accused. The mur- ' derer says liar when the witness testifies against him. The horse ? thief says liar when he is found with the horse. Every guilty scrub cries liar when he is caught with the goods. Even the attorney who has no case, calls the witnesses for tho other side liars. The Examiner Ex-aminer editor, LcRoy Armstrong, not only fills all the above qualift- 1 cations, but writes himself down as an ass if he thinks he can fool the people by crying, "Liar." Let, the people read tho lqwer half of this page; it is all the truth and we will forfeit $1,000, if we can not prove it all by the laws of Utah. , j It is dodging the issue to say the governor did not sell all the ! bonds, because no one said hn did, but the state is mortgaged and f the bonds will be issued to build the capitol building, which tho ' .. people had voted down at an election. In spite of that election tho governor demanded that the legislature shall pass the capitol bonds, ' and he proposes to build the capitol notwithstanding the fact that the people of Utah had voted down the proposition at a special election. ?; The Governor and State Treasurer -?
