Charles Il. Marshall's record as the |
guardian of the city's legal affairs is
in itself sufficient argument for his |
reelection. No one but him self has |
any idea of the hard work he has per-
formed during his two years in office
in protecting the interests of the tax
payers of the city. He has sacrificed |
his private business and has labored |
as probably no one who held the office |
before him did in order that the city's |
interests should be properly guarded.
That his administration has been a |
success in every respect |
all know. The public will place the
stamp of approval upon his work to-
morrow, when he will be returned to
the good work he has SO
earnestly and diligently prosecuted.
