OF SANDER FAILS
Silly Attacks on Anti Martindale
Men Turned Aside-Goldberg
Neatly Nails Lie.

The school board gang is becoming
frantic in its effort to save its hide
In the coming election. Fresh walls
OF vituperation are being uncorked
almost hourly, and In the effort TO
cast aspersions on the candidates OF
the ants some of the purveyors Oh
scandal seems 10 have lost their rea-

Gang methods were well illustrated
in meeting in Bohemian Turner

day night. called in the interest OF
Herbert Bush. Inspector Goldberg
opponent in the Twelfth ward. Oh
the score or more present, about II
were Goldberg supporters and Gold
berg did not want for defenders. Al
one stage of the proceedings 1t looked
as though the meeting were going to
break up I'm a fist fight, when Bush
urged as one reason why Goldberg
should not be elected that he has no
children.
This aroused the fighting blood OF
the Goldberg adherents, one OF whom
pointed out that the inspector Is prac-
tically the head of family OF seven
brothers and sisters and a widowed
mother and that, in addition TO looking
out for their interests, is raising the
family OF his deceased brother, Louis
Goldberg. and educating the children
in the public schools.
Bush also asserted that Goldberg
and the other anti-Martindale candi-
dates were practically in league with
Secretary Anthony Pratt, Of the Mu-
nicipal league, and others to down the
saloons, and claimed that Mr.. Pratt
had tried &c induce him 10 sign a
pledge to put the saloons out of busi-
ness.
The anti-machine press got theirs"
from Frank ID. Eaman, former assist
ant prosecuting attorney, who has
been pressed into service by the Mar
tindale crowd. The Times in partic'
ular came in for a scoring at his
hands for it's active support of the
"antis" in the interests Of cleaner

office. was another speaker on behalf
OF Bush.
Secretary Lee, OF the board OF edu-

pa. defeated for denomination In the
Ninth ward. have been canvassing the
saloons OF the ward, 1t is reported. in
the interests of Bush. They struck a
snag Thursday. however. when, 1t Is
said, they weree0rdsred out of one sa-
loon for making remarks derogatory
10 Goldberg. The proprietor happen
ed to be a good friend of the inspector
and took exceptions to the statements.
A favorite weapon OF the gang is
to attack the citizenship of the anti
machine candidates and Inspector
Goldberg Is the latest victim" The
gang is proceeding cautiously in this
instance. however, for Goldberg has
rolled up his sleeves and dares the
crowd to come on.
II am citizen OF the United States,
as was my father before me-" he
says. And II anyone thinks he can
disprove II. let him come right ahead

who afterwards took out naturaliza-
tion papers. The gang has scrutiniz-
ed the records of the United States
courts. the Wayne circuit and the re-
corder's court and reports that II can
find no record of the granting of citi-
zenship papers to Morris Goldberg.
The simple reason is that the papers
were not taken out In this city. The
gang knows where they were taken
out, though. and has sent to investi-
gate. expect to have the papers, or
copies of them In few days"
The gang has also circulated the
report that z. Dworkowski, Inspector
Miehms opponent in the Eleventh
ward, is not a citizen. The records
show that Mr.. Dworkowski was ad-
mitted to full citizenship Nov. 9, 1905.
