was something magnificent in its APP
pal1ing proportions. So it was decided

The candidacy of D. n, straup for
city attorney, seems to be deemed i'll
advised, especially when the firm of
which he is a member has so many
suits against the city for damages
There are. five claims which repre-
sent an aggregate demand of S56,260.
Besides Mr. Straup's firm is interested
in the suit of Arthur Pratt, the SuS-
pended chief of police, who viii IN
doubtedly have a damage suit against
the city sooner or later. Mr.. Straup is
familiar with all these actions and has
taken an interest in them. He has
advised with his clients and knows the
details. He could not honorably go
into court and take advantage of his
former clients by using knowledge OBJ
tanned from them and it is doubtful if
any attorney could be engaged to de-
fend the city's side for the compensa-
ton paid him for the same work. The
city would be loser. There is a con-
dition confronting the taxpayers which
it viii be well to avoid. There is way
of getting around the matter and that
is for every person interested in the
success of the city's legal department
to vote for w. c. Hall for the office and
avoid any entanglements.
