I POLITICS IN THE CITY , OF OGDEN. Yesterday The Standard reviewed, in light vein, the men who arc being urged by theii friends to aspire to be mayor. Today wc have before us the distinguished citizens who arc being j told that the city needs them as commissioners. First on the list is Miles L. Jones. He is at present in office and has served four years. He bears the burden of the administration, and whatcer is good or bad is in part chargeable to him. J. M. Forristall, who was active in haing the Third ward sewer made an issue in the last bond election, will not object to displacing Commissioner Jones in the affections of his neighborhood. The gentlemen gen-tlemen live in the same district. Captain J. Ray Ward is a formidable candidate. He is a soldier who went across with the 145th field artillery and he offered his I services to his country at a critical time. t Earl R. Geiger has been active in public affairs, is well known in labor circles and will have a large following, if he decides to make an active campaign. But Gossip says there are others who would be delighted to serve the city during the next few years. One thing that pleases us in these city campaigns is that the nar-1 nowness of party politics is excluded and men are to be voted into I office purely on their individual merit.
