Endorsed candidates in Ogden were selected after public ward meetings inviting all voters. The group pledged to oppose franchise grabbers, tax hikes, and petty graft while enforcing existing laws. The candidates’ lives are an open book to Ogden, promising accountability and upright city affairs.
The Ogden People’s Platform convention adopts resolutions denouncing the city commissioners for granting fifty year electric franchises without fair returns. They criticize surrendering a thirty five year franchise, oppose increased salaries, urge a return to the old city government, and pledge candidates to revoke long term franchises and promote economical, open governance with public hearings.
