the Oklahoma Pipe Limo company IS

state or nation. Is not loud protesta,-
lions OF determinations or intentions,
but a person who knows the character
and methods Of the forces of evil, and
goes after them with a quiet detern1fn-
alton and intelligence and keeps on
going until the end is achieved. I
think there is no question but Mr.
Sweet conscientiously tried 10 enforce
certain laws during his previous ad-
ministration. but failed ignominiously
by reason his brass band" methods
and his system of ''red tape" and will
do SO again IL he be elected bv the
people Of Fargo for the coming adj
ministration. Therefore. the good
people who are determined to support
Mr.. Sweet, upon the theory that it is
going to give them a cleaner, more
moral town, In my judgment had bet
ter find another candidate to accomp-
lish their purpose. not that believe
that Mr.. Sweet is insincere in his
promises, but because know that the
gambling, vicious and criminal ele-
ments OF the city, viii hnd him a very
easy man to circumvent In his methods
for the enforcement of the laws
against their interests.
Another thing for which Mr.s Sweet
claims credit, is that he reorgaized and
established the present water system
Of the city.
This creation Of Mr. Sweets is hard
ly one which will reflect credit upon
his genius for administration, of which
he is so fond of boastiGg. Because Il
contains so many economical defects
in organization and in the distribution
Of its product that the city loses q
good many thousand dollars each year
through its defective plan of organi-
cation. so / am 4fraid Mr.. Sweet will
be obliged to find something else on
which to base his claim for the indy
ing gratitude of our citizens
Again, Mr.. Sweet claims that IL he
be elected there will be a complete
readtustment of the burdens Of taxa
ton upon all classes.
This is an interesting subject, and
we would all be glad to receive the
results of his efforts in thi. respect,
were It proven to our satisfaction that
the adjustment was going to be for the
benefit of all classes rather than the
few But unfortunately Mr.. Sweets per-
sonal record in this respect does not
show him to be man who has me de
any special strenuous efforts to see
that property in which he was per-
sonally interested, bore any of the
large burdens of taxation. IL has been
stated repeatedly both in public print
and on the street corners, without so
far as / have ever known been denied
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1910-04-02

by Mfr. Sweet, that az the time Of the
Bristol q Sweet IRE, the stock of
merchandise belonging to the Bristol
g. Sweet co. was returned for the pur-
pose Of taxation at a sum approximat-
ing $500, while upon the same stock
the company collected $4,000 insur-
ance, thus showing an approximate
value of $120,O at the current basis
of insurance valuations. Then the fol-
lowing year the company returned
only q nominal amount for assessment,
upon the theory that they had been
burned out. AID that their new stock
was not yet installed. although it was
not claimed that the 100000 collected
from the insurance companies was
squandered or had passed out OF ex-
istence. From these Things It would
seem as though Mr.. Sweet ought to
bring forth some works meet for re-
pentance'' before he can expect the
public to have confidence in the sin
certify of his conversation as a tax
reformer.
hgcauseftanjs OaimsblylceT5H cmfwpp
Another claim OF Mr.. Sweets is that
he saved the city money by having
the bills considered earlier in the coun-
ell proceedings than formerly. MY ex-
perience is that a man who has any
conscientious objections to the items
Of bill, will make them just as read
lily at 10 O'Clock as he will at 8, and
If Mr. Sweet vtthe to have had the
bills more carefully scrutdnized, he
could have appointed an auditing COM
mittee for that purpose, rather than
attempt to have people believe that a
city council was more honest In one
period Of the evening than in another.
For these reasons 1t seems to me
that Mr.. Sweets claims do not justify
him in receiving the votes of his fell
low townsmen for the office of mayor,
and that the best interests OF the
citizens and q cleaner and more moral
government viii be established by the
choice OF another candidate for that
position.

HIM TO BELIEVE Mr.. SWEET
WAS "A HERO.

To The Forum: I have read with a
great deal OF interest the published ac-
counts of Mr.. Sweets explanation Of
his previous administration. as report
ed in the Fargo Daily News. Mr..
Sweets FIRST claim is that he thorough
" organized the police department Of
the city, and caused the ONCE of desk
sergeant to be created and telephoned
boxes established throughout the city,
by means of which the city has receiv-
ed adequate protection. That desk
sergeant and telephone boxes are a.
great convenience in communicating
information speedily to the policemen,
whose duty 1t is to receive the same.
No one who is familiar with the oper-
alton of police department will deny,
but that a system of telephone boxes
and desk sergeant reports will furnish
protection to the inhabitants of the city
without the necessary skill and train
ing directed by the proper intelligence
from the executive department of the
city is ridiculous in the extreme.
Mr.. Sweet did install those things
during his previous administration
and rested content. with the product Of
his imagination, while gambling, vice
and crime fiourished in the city of
Fargo as never before during Mr..
Sweets administration. simply be-
cause he expected his "red tape" and
brass band methods to take care Of
the city without knowing enough of
the character of the forces with whom
it was his duty. to contend to intelli-
gently direct the operation of the sys-
tenn which he established.

agreed that If the money was not paid
within so many days after the vessel ar
rived at New York proceedings might be
taken 10 have the vessel sold and the
debt paid out Of the proceeds.
The money was not paid and I was re-
tained 10 enforce the bond and began
SUIT Some one interested in the yes
sci appeared in the suit and denied that
the bond had been executed by the mas
ter, as had been alleged.
''It became necessary to take testiZony
on this point OF a sailor whose name was
subscribed TO the bond as having wit

questions the sailor said that the captain
called him into the vessels cabin and
asked him to be a witness to the bond.
and he signed his name to il as witness.
and he spoke Of the paper as the bot

THE opposing counsel IN sharp cross
examination asked him how ne knew 1t

answered that ne read enough OF it to
