STEWART IS SURE
TO HOLD HIS JOB
American Leaders Refuse to
Discard the Heaviest Load
They Have to Garry.
HOWL ALL OVER THE CITY
MULTITUDE or COMPLAINTS
FAIL TO BULGE EzRA's PET.

The leaders OF the american party
I have determined TO carry Health Com
missioner VI. r. Stewart and his record
on their backs during the coming cam
paign. This is I'm obedience to the or
ders or Mayor Ezra Thompson, who
refuses 20 listen TO any one of the flood
or complaints which are going UP all
over the city about DR.. Stewards adj
lhlhlstration of sanitary affairs. and
VINO mas served notice on the American
COuncllmen that nc will not assent TO
Or. Stewards removal
People are beginning TO wonder what
sinister hold Or. Stewart has on the
american administration. American
councilman freely admit i'm private con-
Netsation that his administration is the
worst ever had and that IL is a mill
stone around the neck OF the American
party. but when complaint OF his do
ings is made these same councilmen
VIII rise IN their places on the floor of
the council and defend has every act
rom bis approval Of a padded grocery
bill TO his permitting fragrant
| nuisance to offend the nostrils and en-
! danger the lives OF citizens.
Four Charges Against Stewart.
Four different times charges have
been made and proven IN the council
binary circumstances. would have
caused his removal from office i'm dis
grace. The first open fight made on
him in the council was when Council
men Arthur F. Barnes and John Holley
dissected a bill for groceries for the
isolation hospital which Or. Stewart
had approved comparison of price
lists showed that this bill was 40 per
cent too high, but the American coun-
cilmen voted i'm a body TO approve it.
Later it was proven that DR.. Stewart
and his small army Of underlngs were
taking no steps TO keep people from
setting afire garbage dump west of
the Jordan river. Councilman f. $.
Fernstrorr1 charged on the floor of the
council that the fire was being started
by the health department employe who
was I'm charge Of the dump, and that
as fast as the fire department put 1t
out he would set fire 10 II again. The
American councilmen choked off an in
vestigation of this charge. although
Mr. Fernstrom gave the names of Wit
neFses. The stencil from the shoulder
ing mass almost drove people i'm that
neighborhood from their homes.
Later Or. Stewart admitted that he
was responsible for the dumping OF
garbage in Horseshoe bend. He was
arrested for this. and the jury which
tried him disagreed. Then County At
tOrney Farley Pratt Christensen dis
missed the case In order TO curry favor
with the American party organ, which
was then attacking him. Recently DR..
Stewart has aroused an entire neigh
borhood almost TO the pitch of rioting
by allowing pickle factory on Third
West street thirty days i'm which to
abate a nuisance which was and is
causing sickness in the neighbOrhOOd.
Losing Votes for Party.
Every time DR.. Stewart has per-
mitted a nuisance 20 exist he has cost
the America party from fifty 10 hun
dred votes i'm that particular neighbor-
rood. American councimen admit this
But they are backing Stewart up re.
gardless of what is brought against
him. His department is costing more
than IL ever cost before.
Dr. Stewart has a powerful pull. VIII
