is WILLING TO STAND ALONE.
Councilman Herman Offers Statement
to Public on His Position.

Councilman Herman Offers Statement
to Public on His Position.
Editor Times-Repubilcan In last
nights issue of the mayors newspaper
l noticed the following statement:
Mayor Ingledue says that after the
performance Councilman Herman gave
in the council meeting last night he is
perfectly willing that the anti-admin-
istration forces shall claim him and
appropriate all the glory he is bringing
! to them" herewith ask that you will
kindly give me space in your paper to
answer same.
I can hardy believe that Mayor In
gledue has made this statement for
publication, for it sounds too boyish,
and ali can make out of it, is the echo
of lost franchise.
have never considered that I, or
any other councilman, was ever elected
to dance to the music of the mayor, nor
did I know that there was such thing
as an anti-administration party.
We have heard for the past two
years that the council was the legisla-
tive body and the mayor the executive
head. In fact we have had this i'm
pressed upon US by the mayor so often
that no doubt every councilman goes
to bed at night and dreams of it. Be
as 1t may, If such Is the case and the
mayor had allowed the council to legis-
late on all contracts and purchases, 1t
would not have been necessary for
me to question as 1 did a bill for
twisted iron that has been placed In
the concrete dam and retaining wall,
which the contractor himself admitted
was necessary in the construction of
concrete in such work as building
dams, etc.
Perhaps 1 questioned this to closely,
from Mayor Ingledue's statement here
tofore mentioned. 1t looks as If such
is the case. must have shown too
plainly by my question the inability of
the man who drew the specifications
and contract for the dam and retaining
walls; but why should I, elected to
represent the people, try to cover up
and hide this and other matters from
the public who have a right to know
all these things, just for the sake Of
being called an administration follower.
If there is supposed to be any honor
to being called an administration fol-
lower then I prefer to decline the honor
and stand alone as I always have and
always will.
in regard to the insult which I ac-
cuse Mr.. Cleary Of offering me, wish
to state that after the meeting Mr..
Cleary did not deny that he had said
the word "nottings," but said that IL
he did say It, 1t might have been slip
of the tongue. This may have been the
case.

that I outline my views as to the ad-

the right spirit of enthusiasm, and of

varied ways that it is easy to think of
a new way in which it would be of adj

and comfortable common meeting place
where men interested in our city's
growth and advancement could meet
socially for an interchange of different
ideas. derived from different view
points, and where any proposition of
interest to the whole city could be dis
cussed and the merits or dement's of
proposition could be thoroughly gone
into and investigated, and IL the prop
osition had merit, in the judgment of
the majority of the club. 1t would then
