that l should explain the motive, or the
issue involved, in order that all tn"
public may think and act intelligently
on the subject. L believe that the
masses Of the people want to be fair
with the council, who are their repre-
sentatives, and 1 am sure that | want
to be fair and frank with them.
in the first place this ward was
created by and thru the influence OF
one man, and mostly for his self seek
ing PURPOSES. 1t was to place him
again i'm the council where, | am free
to confess, he made a most enviable
record as an able and honest man.
Another object he had in view, so it is
claimed, was to create a political pre-
cinct for partisan and personal pur-
poses. His first plan failed, the sec
ond seems to have been successful.
do not believe ali the members Of the
council, who voted for this measure,
understood at that time the situation
as they now do. 1t WAS {; hasty act,
not fully considered, and certainly a
mistake. No ward should ever be Gre
ated for the special benefit of any in
dividual, however good citizen he
may be, nor should Il ward be abolished
because the representatives of that
ward are obnoxious to other members
of the council. II q mistake has been
made in the choice of councilman,
it is the privilege of the voters of that
ward to correct such mistake, and they
certainly will do it sooner or later.
The council is the legislative body
of this city, anc 1t should be SO organ
lied in it's boundaries as to bring about
an equal and fair representation or
the entire people upon the vital ques-
tons at issue before them. The pres
ent boundaries do not do this.
THE principal question before the
people In this city today is prohibitions;
license or no license. They may call
it by whatever name they will, or try
to divert the mind of the people as
much as they will to other questions,
1t is bound to all round up in this.
The very elements that are leading in
the opposition to this ordinance, out
side of the ones personally interested,
above named, show this to be true.
Many of those who are today fight1ng
to maintain this ward severely CRITICIZE
ed the making of it when it was made,
before they discovered their vantage
ground.
'"The Sixth ward contained loo votes
at last count. They have two council
men to represent them, both prohlbl-
tionists, and unqueStionably their sue
cessors will be Of the same class. The
First ward has nearly $50 voters, four
to one being -prohibitionists, and
it is represented by only two council
men. Is this fair representation upon
this, or upon any other vital question
before the people? In a ree-cornerei
fight prohibitionist was elected last
year in the Third ward, and that party
all over the city have ever since been
boastingly claiming that they would
capture one or two more, with
mayor, this year and then no more sa-
looms for Marshalltown. This might
easily be accomplished where several

j. II. Egermayer to Use New Paper to
Present Carnnainn 1 iteratu1a

Present Campaign Literature.
A new paper, started as an adver-
Using scheme by Joe Whitacre. re-
porter on what was once the Evening
Herald, is to be used to place before
the public the campaign literature of
j. Fl. IIgermayer in his fight for the
mayoraty. The work of soliciting the
advertising is already in charge of two
boys, who are canvaSSing the city in
the interests of the paper, which is to
be known as The Free Press.
MIR. Egermayer, contrary to the gem
eral opinion as given out by the adver-
Using solicitors. is not Interested fnan-
cially IN the venture. He has been
planning for some time to present what
he claims will be interesting reading
matter before the public, with regard
to actions of the present city admins
tration, and WAS approached by MIR.
Whitacre with an offer to print the
articles in his proposed paper. provid-
ing he would give him the exclusive
publication. These arrangements have
been made, satisfactory to both MIR.
Whitacre and MIR. Egermayer.
In making the contracts for the adj
vertisng, the boys i'm charge claim
that the articles to be printed in the
Free Press concerning city government
affairs, are to be to Marshalltown
what the "F'renzied Finance" articles
of Lawson have been to Wall street.

vertising contracts are being taken on
a basis of three months. The publica-

day of issue. Mr.. Whitacre expects to
be able to get out his first issue next
Friday, and explains his hurry in order
to get started before another makes
it's appearance. This reference is to a
monthly journal that X. X. Waterbury
and others have in view, which is also
to be an advertising scheme. Mr..

Member Of the City Council Defends
Majority's Action as to AboIishins
the Ward.
Editors Times-Republican: There
seems to be a wide misunderstanding
in regard to the issue involved in the
boundary ordinance now pending be-
fore the city council. The opponents
of the ordinance, or at any rate most
of them, have cunningly, and with a
purpose, sought to divert the public
mind from the real issue, to one en-
tirely at variance from the facts, and
one which is certainly unpopular, if
true. They have sought to show that
it is move by a combination Of the
council to remove from their body two
members whom they could not control,
and who were obnoxious to them. In
asmuch then, as strenuously opposed
the creating Of this ward in the first
place, and drafted and presented the
ordinance eliminating the ward it
seems to me that it is entirely proper
