Was Money Made Out of a
Compromised Claim2

Ed. Journal: In reviewing the work
OF the Republican city convention on
Wednesday evening some old familiar
faces are recognized, and it is inter
estlng TO look into the work Of the
convention. as we'll as the personnel
that constituted it.
Who was chairman Of the conyen-
ton? Why the young man who s few
years ago was condemned by a legis-
lative committee for doing the state
binding in a very poor and expensive
manner, and as a result OF that work
the secretary OF state has ever since
been ordered TO have that work done
in the competitive market. The young
man may have some good qualities,
but this is his public record.
The nominee for mayor again ap-
pears in an unfortunate connection.
Mr.. Joe Baker was in the good old
days sheriff Of Marion county, and
since then has been considered among
the rich men OF the town. He had the
misfortune when the Williams & Eng
land bank went under OF being bonds
man for the city treasurer, whose
funds were in the bank. What did he
do, settle like a man? No, he deliber-
ately told the city in so many words
that TO collect that amount from him
il would cost them $500 for litigation
lie then proposed 10 pay if they would
throw on the $500. This the push
council did, and paid a good, round
lawyers Zee in the bargain for the
privilege Of compromising a collectable
claim against a rich man. But what
was the sequel? Baker later collected
every cent of the city money from the
receiver of the bank, and got interest
in the bargain. And this is not all of
Mr. Bakers misfortunes. He is now
placed in nomination for mayor by a
man who has. among other things, a
very unsavOry bank connection, VIM.
Cherrington, and who. when president
OF the school board, so fixed things

ren's savings went into the Gilbert
bank, and went like the city's money.
Baker Is not a bad man, but his public
connections have not been such as 70

Rigdon. the Everything" in politics,
and one of the men who at first fought
hardest 10 down the crowd he is now
with. While in the council at one
time he was in charge Of street work.
About all he did was 70 build a good
street n the two sides Of his resi-
dence, in the extreme eastern suburb
OF the city, place an electric light on
his corner. and has ever since been a
populist shouter. He helped inaugu-
rate the present citizens movement,
and, because he could not command
favors from Il, now turns his back up
on il in favor OF the Republican gang
he has expressed so much contempt
for.
To cap the climax the campaign OF
this aggregation is placed in the hands
OF that immaculate pillar OF purity,
Ebe LAHORE, who was enthusiastically
chosen as chairman OF the city central
committee, and will look after the lit
tie matter Of getting the foaters and
hobos 70 the polls. He will probably
be hired 10 stir paint that he sells at
81 a day, when Judge Hubbard, as
councilman, lets a contract to paint
the city hall, as he did the court house
some years ago. He will be a handy
man TO have around in more ways than
one. He has been there, and knows
lots OF things about city AFFAIRS that
most Of our citizens don't, and never
will know. Perhaps he was put into
power 20 redeem the second ward.
which he used 10 carry in his vest
pocket, until he was cleaned out three
20 one. and that was two years before
the citizens movement was started.
Besides some Of the persons men
toned, the convention was pushed by
such saints as Doc Smith. who told
on the Marion county stump that he
would fight normal school appropria-
tions. and then voted these institu.
tons more money than they ever had
before. Ad Dilley who was the no
torious city marshal for several terms,
also had a finger in the pie. Ed. Edes
would no doubt have been there had
he been in town, but il they had nom
mated him there for recorder they
could not have put that plank against
a third term into their platform. as
this same crowd gave him the nomi-
nation four times.
