[President Heber J. Grant Diary] Upon reaching Ogden I was interviewed by a representative of the Ogden Standard. I told him I had nothing further to say politically than was contained in the published statement over the signatures of myself, President Ivins and President Clawson, --that I had nothing further to say for publication but that personally I was for Reed Smoot for Senator. To my great annoyance I learned that he put that statement in his report, which I am sure will create a lot of unfavorable comment. He not only published it in his paper but the Standard wired the contents of this interview to the Salt Lake Telegram. The Telegram had the courtesy to send their representative to my home and read the article to my home and read the article to me but inasmuch as it had been printed by the Standard I told the Telegram they could go ahead and pujblish (sic) it and they could also say that I am for Hoover. My suggestion that I had nothing further to say politically being disregarded by the Standard, it is the last time they will ever get an interview from me, unless I change my mind.
