SOME CRITICS

didate for Mayor, was the principal
speaker at the big Democratic meet.
ing at Liliha and Wyllie streets.
Replying to derogatory criticism of
himself made by the other candidates
for the mayoralty, particularly by Achi
Mr.. Fern pointed to his seventeen years
service with the Wilder Steamship
company and the Inter-Island company
as proof that those in a position to re.
quire capable service had confidence in
his ability. For these seventeen years
he had been shipping master, employ.
ing the entire force of stevedores and
! sailors, paymaster, and time-keeper. He
made out the payrolls, received the
money from the company and paid the
men their wages. He thought a record
of seventeen years service in these
responsible capacities entitled him to
feel that such men as ]. NJ Dowsett,
the Wileoxes, and other large stock
holders in the Inter.Isand company had
confidence in him, in his honesty and
his ability.
AS to his experience in public ser
vice, he had been for two years now
a member of the Board of Supervisors
and he felt that his record was one
which would bear examination.
He told the people too that it was he,
who, at meeting at Aala Park fol-
lowing the return of the delegates from
the National Convention, had first sug-
gested the test of the validity of the
Municipal Act, resulting in the proceed
ing brought in the name of John EN-
meluth by Judge Edings, which deter
, mined the validity of the act and per-
} mitted the Inauguration of city govern
ment without the fear tina. confusion
5 might be brought about at any time by
the act being declared invalid

talked great deal about the straight
