Of any kind, as all the company asks
is that it be given the right by the
electors, as the law requires, to con-
struct and operate a hot water plant
and furnish heat to people who may
wish to install the system into their
homes, The franchise, as heretofore

the right to do business. Hon. Sidney
A. Foster and Ex-Governor Frank D.
Jackson. of Des Moines, are interested
in the project.
Eaermaycr Has Word.
j. H. Egermayer, who is IN the may
orally race, presents communication
to the T.-R. today, in which ne en-
phatically den the story that the
DAILY men. are circulating, to the erect
that he. Is not in the race to stay, ana
will withdraw at the last moment. Mr.
U,parmave,,s communication is as fol-
lows:
"Editors Times Republican,: ! am
very much surprised to find that MI.
Daly's supporters are still claiming "
voters that intend to Withdraw IN
favor Of Mr.. DAILY. The purpose OIL tnls
campaign argument fully understand.
but there are many who do not, ana !
want my supporters to know that !
stated positively, several weeks ago, at
a mass meeting, that was not In sym
Oathy with the kind of politics which
certain parties sought to play, when
a resolution providing for a steering
committee was introduced, and that
was not in the market for eleventh
hour political deals. wish it distinct
" understood that never quit until
am whipped. I have made no fight
against Mr.. DAILY, either personally or
concerning his published or private ut
terances, assuming that the protested
neutrality of his workers was in good
faith.
81 am Informed, however, that two
of Mr.. Daly's campaign managers have
been very busy trying to get several
roorbacks out against me- and/in one
case sought to procure signature to
prepared statement The public, it is
claimed by several parties, on Satur-
day night, will be informed by these
gentlemen in true roorback style, con-
corning me. 1t is also reported that
these men will issue a circular, with
the idea of affecting my candidacy
in favor Of Mr.. DAILY. only wish to
warn my friends not to worry about
such eleventh hour tactics. The pub
lie should remember that when these
gentlemen start rumor it should be
presumed that it is done with Mr..
Days sanction and coming at such a
late date should be held as unworthy
of consideration.
Il have deposited with the cashier of
the City National bank a forfeit of
$3.50, to be given to any charitable in
stitution in this city, in case any at
tempt is made on my part to throw my
support to either Mr.. DAILY, Mr.. Ingle-
due or any other candidate; said for
felt to be disposed of by either OF
these candidates against whom such
attempt would be made
Il am in this fight to the finish and
expect to win.
Respectfully yours,
