 gineer's Salary Fixed

To the Chairman of the Executive Com-
 mittee. Citizen Union of Ward B.
 City:
 Dear Sir-I have carefully read the pro- ceedings of your meeting last Thursday night, and also the resolution which was adopted to hold a primary of the mem bers of the Union.
 While this may be advisable and suit able in order to nominate hrst-clas men for Aldermen to represent your Ward, still I do not think that equal and exact justice would by your plan be obtained by myself as we'll as by the most of the other candidates who are making the race for Mayor.
 I am confident that this is as far re- moved as possible from the real inten- ton of yourself or associates. still the facts so appear to me.
 My reason for this is that one of the candidates. who already seeks the suf- frages of his fellow citizens Is a resi- dent of your ward.
 Again, the President of your Union was instrumental In requesting this gentleman to become a candidate. and thus his in- fluence must necessarily be felt among the members of the Union. I, therefore, respectfully request that my name be not considered by your committee. and fur ther request my friends to abstain from voting for Mayor in your coming primary
 Very truly yours,
 adv. E. J. Meyer.
