Business Government Is
Berkeley Campaign Issue
Candidate Hodghead Given Highest Praise
By State University Professor

BERKELEY, April 21.-"The issue in
this campaign is business against poll
ties" said Beverly L. Hodghead, the
good government nominee for mayor.
tonight at a large and enthusiastic
meeting in Armory hall. His clear cut
arguments in support of the cause of
deeeney in politics won him hearty
applause.
Max Thelen. one of the most active
young men in the struggle to rid
Berkeley of the influence of the politi-
cal push headed by Spear and Schmidt,
acted as chairman of the evening and
gave the various candidates for Office
an opportunity to say a few words to
the voters present

William Carey Jones. professor of
Jurisprudence in the University of Cali

Hodghead for 90 years, the acquaint-

tribute, Professor Jones said: 81 know
he will make good in the office of
mayor"
The speaker made strong point in
discussing the necessity of getting a
man big enough to be credit to the
Office. The man who will devote all
his time to his duties is not the man
we want-he is not the grade of man
we want. We want men big enough
to give the requisite amount of time
to their Office and the rest to their
business" said Professor Jones.
PUNCTURES CAMPAIGN LIE
Although the thinking voters were
quick TO see through the cheap politi-
cal trick of the Spear Schmidt push to
hurt Hodghead by insinuating that hia
appearance as an attorney for the
Western Union telegraph company in
different trials had disqualified him as
a candidate for may under the new
charter, Professor Jones made a few
remarks to show to the satisfaction of
those present that Hodghead was not

company and so was notssdisqualified
by the charter provision. This bit of
cheap politics has reacted, much to
the discontinue of Spear and Schmidt.
Hodghead made it clear that the

being nothing more than an organi-
cation effected at the home of George

feating eHodghead in the election He

adopted with the express purpose of
ridding the city of the influence of
professional politicians such as Spear

There is a distinct issue in this
campaign and it is not a mere scramble
for office" said Hodghead, in replying
to an editorial printed in local paper
that is supporting Spear. Its busi-
ness against politics. The aim was
to get the city of out of politics when
the new charter was framed give the
government back to the people and let
them take care of ii. 1t all depends
ON the people now. The freeholders
have done their part in providing the
charter, and it is up to the people to
do their part by voting at the election
to be held May l."
The greatest interest is being mani
tested in the coming election. The
activity of the good government forces
to secure a large vote to administer a
quietus to the push should make the
number of votes cast much greater
than in any preceding election. That
Hodghead will lead in the election
