purpose and that is to vhelicate a
newspaper man who is determined to
boss the city. Some of them even adj
NIT that hit took almost a month OF
hard campaigning and an attack upon
his integrity to get the newspaper
man to do something that would need
vindicating.
The Ingledue men have threatened
the editor of the T.-R. that he will
be forced to give back Il ffteen-foot
strip of land which does not belong to
nm if he does not be good. This refers
to the parking along North Fifth street
adjacent to, the editors home which
the mayor was unwilling to grade
down owing to the expense until n
sidewalk had been ordered. The editor
grassed the sidehil TO beautify it UNI
I'll such time rs the city should order
the walk and do the grading. Other
men who have a fifteen-foot parking
which they are moving, but Which be-
longs to the city, should watch out.
The lihelous falsehood is also pre-
ferred that the T-R refused to sup
contract for $1,000 worth of advertis
ing. The T.-R. began supporting Mr..
Ingledue in his administration in the
spring of 1905 The largest advertls
ing contract he ever signed is dated
two years later Feb. is. 1907, for Il total
of S1,433.O4 and the advertising used
under its provisions extended over Il
perod of TWENTY-FIVE months. At that
time the big shoe jobbers of St. Lou
is had induced Mr. Ingledue TO try Il
heavy campaign Of advertising Just as
they are now doing in Des Moines when
the Register and Leader came out this
week with a shoe ad covering two full
pages explaining editorially The Pc
tiers Shoe Company and several other
shoe manufacturers of st. Louis have
adopted a system of publicity so elab-
crate and so costly as to attract atten-
ton everywhere. The expense of in
serting today's two-page advertisement
in the sixty leading newspapers of the
United States is not a small Item And
this advertisement is merely one of a
number that have been published in
the same way in recent years The
Times Republican carries advertising
contracts with other Marshalltown
merchants today larger than the 1ngle-
due contract and none of them are
running for any office. 1t might be
noted that the break between 1ngledue
and this newspaper came while this adj
vertising contract was still in force and
that there is a satisfactory advertis-
ing contract with him in force today.
He, in fact has used a full page ad In
the T-R for this campaign but he will
not say that It bought editorial sup
port A charge of this kind is the pun
ishment a newspaper must take Tor
mixing in politics. 1t is intended to
make the newspaper man an issue and
divert attention from the things which
the newspaper has said about the can
didate. 1t is libelous but is careful not
to be preferred by Mr.. Ingledue who
is supposed to be financially RESPONSE
BILE.
Voters will be confused as to coun-
cilmen at Large and forget to vote for
them because heretofore all council
men have been elected from the wards.
This year two are to be elected at large
from the whole city Just like mayor
and every voter should vote for two
Large. More than this
they should vote for the ablest bust
ness men they can select from the list
of candidates. Then they should vote
for one councilman to represent their
ward.
