The Examiner SANDERS the
Good Government Forces


false statement by which hopes njur the good gov
ernment for which citizens of this city stand
In its issue of the the Hearst organ quotes Mr.
Dishman as follows:
81 was told that would all of my influence the head
of the department support of the members of the de-
parent good forces in the coming county
campaign could retain my position head OF the department
decline to believe spoke the card that he
authorized make any such proposition to me- know that the
members police commission would not for an instant en-
teran any such proposition of bargain or sale"
1t will be that in the foregoing the Examiner does not
pretend to say that proposition which makes Mr. Dish
man refer was authorized by good government organization
or anated from any of that organization 1t does how
ever attempt to reflect the good gov
ernment organization by suggestion and inference
Becoming boder its desire to disseminate this SANDER the
Examiner on Yesterday said in its columns:
REGARDING Mr. Dshn1an that emissary of the
good organization approached him recently with as
srance that if he the of the police department
to the good forces in the next county election he
might retain his office, etc
Here will be noted Of the good government
has pced up enough courage refer the who
was supposed approached Chief Dshman emissa
of the good government organization Furthermore in an
editorial the issue IT gains courage to state
etes making charges of the gravest character
The mayor degns reply and the police commissioners calmly
roceed with the decaptaton disregard of anything but
getting of office that does not meet with their aP
nrova1 Dishman charges he ousted because he
would not become agent the good government men,
Taking the Examiners story originally published IN
its issue 26h evident that the statement contained in
it's news columns the day that r Dshman asserted that
an eissary of the good organization approached
him is false evident that its editorial statement that
shman retres making charges of the character
false 1t is evident that its editorial statement that Mr.
Dhman charges oued because he would not become
agent of the good government men IS absolutely and wan
tonly false.
There was nothing contained in Mr.. Dhmans supposed
statement as originally published in the Examiner that cons-
ted any sort of charge At the very worst it contained moth
ing more than implication of wrongdoing against some
one not claiming be member of the good government
organization authorized representative It, Believing that
the statement purportng from Chief Dishman orig
nay published the Examiner weak though it was was un-
true The Herald Dishmah interviewed concerning the
matter of this paper he made the statement
as published in Yesterdays Herald While admitting that
made casual remark him Tuesday afternoon and after ne
was dismissed office that he might have been reapponted
had promised his influence as chief IN aiding the
good forces Mr. Dshman stated that the man rep
resented political party and IN no way had any auo "
make such proposition
"T knOzv'' said Chief Dishm1n, "he represented no
political party and convinced that the police COM
mission would cOuntenGnce any such de0L 1t was
mere remark that overheard, and like all such
STORIES spread, gaining strength as IT was reIod. me
absudity of the story of being approached such you
might cali it, appears ridiculous when it is known thar
this man made remark referred to Tuesday after
noon when was packing my belongings ana preparing
to leave central police heGdqnGrterS
So it would appear that Chief Dshman made the
ment attributed him by the Examiner There was nothing IN
his which would justify that deracto OF the good gov
protector OF influences IN
emsary good organization approached Chief
Dshman Disman retres making charges OF the gravest
Dshman charges he oused because he would
not become an agent of the good government men
This last effort the part OF the Examiner to nure the
good government in this city merely IN keeping with
which that paper has followed since the movement
nauguated by The Herald about which resulted
clearing the city of the des gang of grater that ever dis
graced gang which, by the while IN office and when
being their evil deeds at the recall election
enjoyed the full support of the Examiner
No regrets than The Herald that became 1mpos
sbe Chief Dsman and the good government police COM
mssoners to work of harmony without which e
of the cit interests is impossible How this came
about the citizens city will doubt be informed in
due time meanwhile they will probably not permit them
prejuded against anything that the official repre-
of the good organization may do by the
papaby false newspaper which has never failed
oppose openly overy everything that makes Tor
decency good this city, and has never tailed TO
show in one way another its sympathy for those evils IN the
city government against Which all good citizens arrayed
