The times dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1903-1914, 1910-04-21

OF the campaign was the placing inI
the mails about o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon of an anonymous attack on
Couccilmen Gilbert X Pollock and
James j. Burke, of Madison Ward. In
the opinion of many people seen last
night some of them not especially
friendly to the candidates, the effort.
denounced by some as "scurrilous and
underhand," will defeat itself and re-
act in favor of the two men who are
given no opportunity TO make any
answer.
The card is addressed TO "Mr. Good
Citizen" and is a printed slip advising
voters to pay no attention to the cards
Of politicians, but to use the slate IN
closed "as guide for the best in
terests of the people" the slate being
signed Good Citizen In the list of
candidates of the ward the names of
Pollock and Burke are conspicuously
scratched
When seen last night Mr.. Pollock
was most indignant at the anonymous
attack, which he denounced as an eff
fort to iriure himself and his Assoc
ciate in an underhand manner with
out giving them opportunity to explain
or defend.
q know none of my opponents would
do not believe the good people OF
Madison Ward will be misled by It..
But as an answer to this good citizen
who is ashamed to sign his name, !
believe they will give both him and
his methods a rebuke at the polls"
AS an entire refutation, Mr.. Pollock
says he is prepared to show his fell
low-citizens letters from Mayor Rich
ardson and former Mayor Mccarthy
indorsing his intelligence. efficiency
and usefulness, and expressing the
Council will rebound to the welfare
of the ward and the general interests
of the city"

In reply to former attacks on him as
a Police Court Lawyer" Mr.. Pollock
has secured from the City Attorney a
letter or opinion to the effect that
there is no incompatibility or impro-
priety in his serving as counsel for
persons charged with violations of the
criminal laws OF the state while 4
member Of tho City Council.
