Hughes being a worthy citizen and
showing no disposition to withdraw, they
have not publicly declared against him,

One who has been cOnverSant with the

years and is a warm friend of Colonel
Hughes says that he will not vote for

too well and he don't want to see the
Colonel make a public failure of him
self Why, he says, Colonel Hughes
he has just as many friends or the joint

and Colonel Hughes is not the man to
go back on friend. no matter if the
friend is a jeintist.' Another prominent
Republican politician says that he is not
going to vote for nor support Colonel
Hughes because it is nc sure thing that

reason for being against Hughes
There is a leaf in the council record
OF Colonel Hughes that must not be
overlooked.
Last year there was a terrific struggle
for cheaper gas. and company pledged
to give the citizens dollar gas asked
Tor a franchise.
The man in the council who led the
fight against granting the franchise was
Councilman Hughes. Every step in the
proceedings was bitterly contested by
Hughes. When the vote was finally
taken there were II votes for the ordi-
nance and one vote against it, and that
one vote was cast by Colonel Hughes.
This is one proposition upon which
Hughes did not change his position. in
spite of the protests Of the people. The
city still holds the 81 900 forfeit put up
by the company.
