Where does William Henry Eustis
stand?
Why does he want to be elected mayor
of Minneapolis?
What will he do if elected mayor of
Minneapolis?
Has he policy, will he ever have a
policy, or does he think mayor should
have policy?
Since early in September William
Henry Eustis has been asking the voters
Of Minneapolis to make him mayor. In
all that time he has not said a word
about local issues. 1t has been said
that Mr.. Eustls is in favor Of this, that
and the other. Mr.. EuStis has said
nothing. The people have a right to
know the opinions of candidates Oh the
questions that have to do with the Offices
they seek. The people have industri-
Ously sought to discover Mr.. Eustis'
opinions, if he has any. Mr.. Eustis has
successfully baffled investigation and
Inquiry.
Where Does EustfS Stand?
Nh Eustis, if elected, must stand be-
tween the council, which appropTiates
money, and the people, who pay the APP
preparations. AS head of the city gov
eminent he will be responsible for some
line of policy with relation to public
peace and decency. Mr.. Eusts, If
elected, will be the manager of the bus
mess of the city Of Minneapolis. He
will be in position where he must have
knowledge of how the business of the
city is done, and whether it is we'll
HOOp and how If shall hn 6OOn
Has Mr.. Eustis ever said one word
that would indicate that he is qualified
10 face all these questions that will be
inevitably presented to the mayor of
Minneapolis?
Not a word.
MIR. Eustis has gone on from day to
day, all through the campaign, singing
the praises OF Minneapolis in sounding
phrases pitched to wake applause; he
has never for a moment descended to a
discussion Of facts and actual condi-
tions. In the mind of every thinking
man who has heard him speak William
Henry Eustis has left the impression
that his policy will he, like his speeches,
gittering generality as the
1eWdrOpdecked SPIDERS web of early
morning in June, perhaps, and equally
RnSubStantal.
Eustis a DOGger.
So good Republican as A. J. Board
man, who was a candidate for the
Republican nomination for mayor, COM
plains of the way Republicans have
managed the business of the city of
Minneapolis. MIR. Boardman says that
the valuation Of the city of Minneapolis
Is only S100,OO0,000, approximately, less
than the valuation of the entire city of
Chicago, while rental value equal to
the entire valuation of Minneapolis may
be found within radius of twelve
blocks of the Chicago board of trade.
This is true. 1t shows that under Re-
publican management the government
of Minneapolis costs Minneapolis peo-
pie more proportionately than that of
any other city in the country does it's
people. In the Republican city conven-
ton, immediately after MI. EustiS was
nominated, BOardman gave the nominee
his cue by saying that he had hoped, in
the event of his nomination, to bring to
the front some issue of great
er importance than whether the
back door of saloon shall
be open on Sunday or whether it shall
be closed. He cited the comparison
with Chicago as evidence OF the reed
for some greater issue. Mr.. Eustis dis
regarded the hint. He has not only
failed to make grrater issue than the
saloon back-door question, but he has
even failed to make any issue at all.
He Has No Defense.
Mr.. Eusts seems to be laboring under
the delusion that his boastful pride in
Minneapolis and his abject worship of
the Mckinley tariff fetch, combined
with his unctiouS voice and rolling
Tentences, form the only issue neces-
Bary in local campaign in Minneapolis.
AS before stated, Mr.. Eustis has to-
tally disregarded the taxation issue.
He has done worse than disregard the
public decency issue; he has sought to
hOOdwink the people on it.
The GLOBE has repeatedly charged
William Henry Eustis with riding two
horses in this campaign. He has posed
as the close friend of the people who de-
mand a rigid enforcement of the ordi-
nances relating to saloons, gambling
etc. Before he was nominated he was
putspoken in his defense of the in
famous spy system that made the name
Df Minneapolis a reproach all last
winter. Since he was nominated he has
been asked to declare his position again
and again.
He has never had word to say-pub-
ncly.
Oll6 party VI NIL LuSllS CdIllpulS Ii
workers assiduously tells the Puritan
their wishes when elected. Another
party visits every saloonkeeper and
every gambler and tells them that Will
lam Henry will see that they are not
mOeSted if they will turn in and help
him.
Hypocrisy His Trump.
But private avoWals donot answer the
purpose of public utterances in polit-
lcal campaign. The public wants to
know last where William Henry Eustis
stands. Hypocrisy is at a discount. If
William Henry Eustis will not deal
fairly and openly with the people before
election, it cannot be expected that he
will deal fairly and openly with them
after election.
1t is pertinent to inquire concerning
Dtherelements of William Henry EustiS'
qualifications for the office of mayor.
The mayor Of Minneapolis should be
man in touch with the masses of the
people, inasmuch as Minneapolis is a
city Of working people. Eustis is not
such a man. Lobbyists for bills in the
interest of corporations are not the sort
Of men the working people can trust.
William Henry Eustis openly lobbied
The bill thai raised the price of
every pound Of meat brought to work
Ingman's table. He is the bosom
friend and supporter of Tom Lowry-is
interested in corporations with him.
Tom Lowry, made millionaire by the
muuificence of Minneapolis, wants
many more gifts from the people. 1t is
not safe 10 put one of his men into the
office of mayor. These charges have
been made against Eustis several times
during this campaign, and he has never
dared deny them.
What He Has Done.
Eustis plumes himself on what he has
done for Minneapolis. What has he
done? The meat inspection bill was
sample of his work for Minneapolis. He
has, it is admitted, made speeches that
could be reported in the newspapers
painting the glories of Minneapolis
nothing else. His whole career, if ex
amined with a view to ascertaininl
what he has done for Minneapolis, viii
