What more misleading tactics
could be adopted than those fol-
lowed by ID. +. Noftsker to further
his candidacy for alderman in the
Fourth ward. Thinking that the
landed property holders out on Seven
teenth street who sought To obstruct
the paving Of that thoroughfare- are
sore because public Improvement
did not cease at their dictation. he is
seeking their support by going to
them with the story that il will be
possible to undo what has already
been done by the council. with refer
ence to Seventeenth street. and that
if elected ne will devote himself to
that end. by seeking a repeal of the
ordinance. MIR. Noftsker will gain
nothing by such Misrepresentation
for the people of the Fourth ward
are for public improvements. and
will not risk their interests in the
council with a man who is opposed
to them.
