Tn. political antagonists o. Mayer

The political antagonists OF Mayor
Armstrong will evidently show their
spleen against him until his retirement
from ONCE. and then cuddle up 20 his
successor for favors. His every public
move is given adverse criticism by
these political enemies. being such be-
cause they couli not handle the mayor
to their satisfaction. No matter whar
the mayor says. suggests or does, its
wrong in the opinion OF those narrow
minded people. There's a reason for
all this, which is thoroughly UNDERSTOOD
by the general public.
The mayor has received complaints
OF the evil effects Of gambling places
and pleaded with TO suppress that form
OF vice. AS chief OF police the mayor
ordered the places raidad and that tney
oe closed in compliance with law. This
was done and two men alleged to DO
managers OF gambling rooms were ar
rested and fined. but another complain
ed of had previously closed his place OF
business.
Immediately after the raids the may
or was publicly criticised for enforcing
laws and his motives were questioned
And so II goes. He's damned for doing
his duty and he's damned n he don't.
So. there you are, gentle reader, ana
under the circumstances what can me
poor mayor do 20 satisfy those that VIII
not be satisfied?
