Retrospection of Two Years Ago
From the Editorial Columns of
the Express.
Continued From Mondays Lie
To the DAILY LIGHT:
Now what did the Express have
to say on Thursday, February 9th
1893
"The Callaghan pot should not
inimadvert on the complexion OF its
erstwhile associates of the range"
Candidate Shardein assures the
people that Callaghan is not his
master. Then why does Governor
Hogg (the Governor who wanted
to enforce prohibition here) ask his
friends to vote for Shardein ito
help Callaghan out""
"Mayor Lockwood promptly

each Monday afternoon and en-
phasized the act by saying that it

Shardein campaign fund for the
amount of their fines"
"MayOr Lockwood, who with an
eye to the safety of the public treas

the city to the expense Of $50 for

which might provide for fair

next. Bah
You remember Callaghan made
Lockwood mayor, when Fritz
Schreiner-but then Fritz was a
German ought to have had the
honorable position for short
while.
On February 10 the Express
editor said:
"The election Of Paschal would
send San Antonio really up 10 per
cent"
"The Express fears that Bryan
Callaghan is poor managing edi-
tor. He does not use the blue pen
ell enough on Musicians manu-
scripts" (Musician supported Cal
laghan.)
"The "rounders" for Callaghan,
Shardein & Co., do not hesitate to
say that if Paschal is not voted
down, he will be counted down. Is
that the "policy" the people have
been trying so hard to get rid of?''
at is now charged-and not de.

who decline to vote the Shardein
ticket straight, find themselves out

(They were wrong, the Express
prefers labor-saving machines to
labOrers.)
Now see what it says Of Gala

LOCKWOOD AS CAESAR"
"There have been some high.

council in days gone by, but it was
reserved for Mayor Lockwood to
cast aside all pretense of respect
for the city charter and the rights
OF the people and assume the roll
Of absolute dictator.
The report of the council pro-

reads more like a chapter from the
medieval courts than Of a deliber-
ate body in free America.
That the mayor should assume
to act as supreme judge and decide
that an ordinance prepared by the
city attorney (then the Hon. Oscar
Bergstrom) was in conflict with
state law, was truly remarkable
and that he should assume to ad.
