Breitmeyer explained that he. did
not, by his announcement. indorse any
OF the charges against Smith or the
police department. but merely voiced
the sentiment that a change In the de
partment would be good thing fos
all concerned.
Il told him that I shall support the
Republican ticket In spite Of him,
said Smith after the conference. Il
want it distinctly understood that, with
all his faults, l regard Breitmeyer as
being a mighty long way ahead Of his
opponent when 1t comes to the Ques'

Before Smiths visit, there was a
long conference In his office, which
was attended by w. s. Dever, Allan

feeling OF soreness was manifested
very strongly. Cox accompanied
Smith on his call.
II is now intimated that a portion
OF the liquor interests which had sup

likely to get better treatment from
Thompson. There has been a feeling
with this element right along that, II

ing on the proposed compensation
acts which seek to establish fixed
rate OF responsibility on the part Of

says the court, ARE an attempt on
the part OF employers to restrict
their common laf liability The sup
position is that the employe assents
tc the contract under the stress of
the situation by reason of his neces-
