Henry L. Lilienthal.
Who Is he?

Who is he?
Lilienthal is the spokesman-Re-
views stool pigeon candidate.
Lilienthal is the man who, flatter-
ed by the offers of a job at $50 a
month, consented to be used by Mel
son w. Durham and the water meter
gang as stalking horse for the cam
didacy of w. Fl. Acuff, who Is the
real candidate of the Spokesman Re-
view. the Washington Water Power
company and the Pacific States Tele-
phone company.
Lilienthal Is the man who served
as city commissioner and who, in
that position. did more to insult and
offend reputable business men and
taxpayers than the veriest strumpet
who ever paraded the streets.
lie is the man who, because Sam
Glasgow erected a small carrier at
his mill which was a mechanical ne
cessity, called that well liked bust
ness man to the city hall and abused
him like a dog, using his official po-
sition to bully one of the most gen.
tlemanly and easiest going men in
business. Not one man in the city
who Is a friend of Mr.. Glasgow can
afford to tolerate the candidacy of
Lilienthal, the stool pigeon OF Nelson
w. DurhgA.
Liliemthal is the man whose arbi-
trary methods in the city hall oc-
casioned the remark that, as mayor,
"the crown of the ear of Russia
would not make a collar for Lilien-
thai"
Lilienthal has no party, no plat
form, no excuse for running except
the treacherous intention of defeat
ing Floyd Daggett and electing w. II.
Acuff. the enemy of organized labor.
Lilienthal poses as the friend of
the laboring man. What did he ever
do for unionism? What isn't he do
ing now to help elect the avowed foe
of unionism.
If Henry L. Lilienthal is n friend
of unionism why does he not put the
union label on the dodgers and other
campaign printed matter which is be-
ing paid for by the Spokesman-Re-
viewAcuff party?
If Lilienthal is n friend of the
workingman, let him explain this
characteristic trickery in money mat
ters toward a workingman;
April 4. Lilienthal sent one of his
men, Jess Lane, to william Huggarh
to hire a wagon to be used for Lii
ienthal on contract work at the rate
of 25 cents a day. That wagon was
used % days.
When Huggard went to Lilienthal
last week to get his pay. amounting
to $3.50, Lilienthal offered Huggard
n dollar.
Huggard refused to accept the
dole. He went back to Lane and
after some trouble Lane paid Hug
gard So.
Lane told Huggard he would have
to get the other $3.50 out Of Lilien-
thal--IF HE COULD.
Mr.. Huggard has not been paid.
This Is but one of the instances
in which Henry L. Liiienthal has
shown himself to be an unsafe man
for the workingman to deal with.
Lilienthal boasts that he made
people put in sidewalks. He does not
boast of the time last summer when
he was caught cheating the city and
his customer in putting down a brick
sidewalk on North Monroe street
Lilienthal. although knowing bet
ter, ordered tho brick laid without
conforming to the requirements of
the street department OF put sand
ms the top layer In order to hold the
brick and prevent the sidewalk from
becoming uneven.
When Major Gwydir, sidewalk In
spector. visited the job he told Lilien.
thai that the walk could not be laid
that way. Lllenthal clustered and
threatened the venerable. gray haired
Inspector and dared him to make an
arrest.
Major Gwydir Is an old confeder-
ate officer Despite his age he has
the courage Of the rough riding
southern ge7.S man.
HE ARRIsrED HENRY L. ILL.,
IENTHAL. ARRESTED HIM FOR
FAILING TO LAY A SIDEWALK
TO CONFORM TO THE RULES
LILIENTHAL AT ONE TIME EN-
FORCED.
Street Commissioner Handley and
Major Gwydir will tell you that Lii
ienthal attempted to evadc the law
and the specifications.
HE TRIED TO CHEAT by PUT
TING DOWN AN INFERIOR WALK.
THUS SAVING THE MISERABLE
PITTANCE THE SAND WOULD
COST!
Lilenthal clustered and tried to
blum the two officials But they would
not he bldffed and Lilienthal was
held under arrest until he agreed to
conform to the law and do justice to
his customer.
A man who would be guilty Of such
