Alameda Office San Francisco Call,

1928 Park street, March q.
DR.. Charles L. Tisdale, member Of the
Alameda Board of Education and candi-
date for reelection, has threatened to an
nihiliate Brainard c. Brown, secretary of
the Municipal League and official reporter
of the United States Circuit Court. Mr..
Brown has issued def to the pugilistic
physician and has challenged him to meet
him in combat at any time, but specifies
that the encounter must take place on
some public street Of this erstwhile peace
full city All Alameda is excited over the
prospects Of a CORY outcome of the first
genuine gun fired IN the municipal cam
paign.
Politics is at the bottom of the trouble
Those who predicted peaceful election
were false prophets.
The quietude that followed the nomina-
lions Of the two conventions was mis-
leading. 1t was but the lull before the
storm, and the political tempest broke
forth In all It's fury last night when
Brainard c. Brown, who was scheduled
to address the Municipal League on cam
paign issues, delivered a discourse re-
plete with venom and vitriol charging AL

membership in the School Board; that his
coarseness OF manner before teachers and
pupils and his overbearing offensiveness gen.

Be that as II may, this rumOr having reach

practice has increased one dollar by reason
OF his official position. He loudly and re-
peated asserts that he has his books but

IN the School Board he had eight He says
that instead Of his official position being OF
financial benefit. IT IS q positive injury TO
him. For instead Of seeking the professional
patronage OF the teachers and their families
ne Is constrained to repel IL for fear the
teachers may consider that they have a pull
on him.
The doctors friends should accept his state

reelection. They should see to ii that he be

working for an unappreciative public.
The Municipal League rendered Mr..
Brown a vote Of thanks for his EFFORT,
coupled with the Endorsement OF the
League for the sentiments expressed.
Dr. Tisdale applied to District Attorney
Allen this afternoon to Issue a complaint
against Mr.. Brown for criminal libel the
District Attorney stated he would issue
the complaint II Tisdale insisted upon II,
but advised that it was not good pohtics
to carry a grievance of the kind into the
courts.
Tisdale returned to Alameda this even
ing nursing his wrath. He has not yer
endeavor to punish Brown with the stern
arm of the law or take the matter in ms
own hands and carry out his threat 10
