The Union extols Joe L. Haas as a
model city attorney, whereas as a matter
of fact he has been as big failure as a
city attorney as could be. To be sure he
has been obli9ing and has no doubt done
the best in his power. as it has been his
good fortune to be attorney during most
of our special assessment: improvements
where there was a good deal of work to
be done by the attorney, though it re-
quired no particular tact or ability as
Mr.. Haas has himself confessed he has
merely been the tool of the mayor. any
way. In the matter of suits against IL e
city bis administration has been one con-
tinuous series of blunders. The Dies

held the damage down to 81 and on the
trial with Haas on the defense 81, 900 was
the verdict are illustrations of this fact.

Haas went into Office. which has been
scaled down to $4,000. As one suit for
$4,000 was Withdrawn by W. A. Meese
it does not leave great amount to Haas
credit. In fact he has won but one suit

office. As stated before Mr.. Haas has
made very willing and accommodating
city attorney, but that is all.

Stephen O'Connor called at THE ARGUS
Office this morning. and stamped as a
falsehood the statement in the Union of
yesterday, that he was importuning bis
friends to vote for John Ohlweiler on the
ground that he (O'Oonnor) would be ap-
pointed street commissioner in case Mr..
Ohlweiler should be elected. While it is
hardly probable that anyone would be-
lieve the silly story, still Mr.. O'Connor
feels that in justice to Mr.. Ohlweiler he
should publicly deny it. He says he has
never talked with Mr.. OhlweiIer on the
subject and knows nothing of his inten-
