The announcement that Mayor In
gledue will be opposed for reelection
by Mr.. A. G. DAILY while not altogethe;
displeasing to the personal friends of
the mayor is to be regretted by those
who try to take an impersona view of
our municipal politics. The mayor was
first elected in a fierce fight. A very
respectable element honestly believed
that he was not the right man for the
place, and they voted against him
While others of equally as good nten.
tions did believe in him and supported
him great deal of noise
in the campaign was made for
him by those who are not looking
for what is best in police regulation.
The mayor, being a merchant. was told
that he would ruin his business If he
went into city politics. and that is the
almost universal opinion prevailing
among our best business men today

for fear of injuring their business
Two years have passed Mayor 1r-
gledue has worked harder than any
other man in Marshalltown ever
worked at being mayor He has given
the city the best that was i'm him. He
has unravelled the paving middle as
none but trained business man could
unravel it and has secured for 335
citizens a five-year extension OF the
guarantee on their paving. and rebate
of all costs even after they had signed
waivers and relinquished all their
rights. He has greatly surprised those
who did not vote for him. He has dis
appointed a few who did vote for him,
but he has given his city the best adj
minstration of the mayors office that
1t has had in twenty years, and ne
ought to have been rewarded by re-
election without opposition. Not so
much for his own good. for he seems
to grow in front of opposition. but
for the encouragement of other good
business men to go into city politics.
He has actually advertised his BUSH
ness.
Mr. DAILY is doomed to disappoint-
ment again. This opportunity is the
worst he has ever chosen in which to
run and he has had no little experience
in choosing opportunities to run for

! The county treasurer ought not to
feel the necessity of apo!ogizing for
the presence of his official signature
upon a notice to people to pay their
past due taxes. altho he can not be
blamed much if he feels that way for
the class of people who try to dodge
taxes, do pound an official over the
back when collection is forced 1t is
for this very reason that an outsider,
free from local environment, can come
in and do very effective work as tax

cial to apologize for in sending out
the notices. The tax paying public
should encourage him with expressions
of support for doing his-duty as an Of

late Judge Obed Caswell He gradu-
ated from the Marshalltown high
school several years ago. then entered

1900. Mr.. Caswell was Immediately adj
mitted to practice in both the state and
federal courts, and engaged in the
practice of his profession here, which
he has followed ever since. He has
never held a public office, and was
never a candidate but once. and that
two years ago, when he ran for the
same office and was defeated by sixty

attorneys. Mr.. Caswell's friends feel
that if he is elected he can be depended

the office.
