sessing fine of TEN DOLLARS he fines the offender FIVE DOLLARS. How can he do this under the oath he took when he assumed the duties Of the office. How can Mir. Ledgerwood explain his conduct to the taxpayers of this City. Has he sold himself. body and soul, to the lawless element of this community. His official acts would seem to indicate that be has. Will the better element of this com munity stand for and endorse such high handed oItrages as has been. and is being committed by Mir, Ledger wood almost every day?
 He has proven himself absolutely | unworthy of the confidence of the law abiding element of this community and should be retired from office
 Fellow Citizens, have no apologies to make for the changes preferred herein, for I want to defeat MT. Led gerwood for election to that very i'm por'tant office, and l want to defeat him for his presence in that chair is menace to the peace and prosperity of this City for he is allied with the drumming element and lawless ele- ment of this City, and now is the time that will prove what public sentiment Is in this community Will you go on luecord as being opposed to drumming and other lawlessness or will you per init that clement to control your city in the future?
 If Mir, LedgeFwood was worthy of the high honoTs to which he aspires and was not guilty of charges perfer against him I would not be opposing him today. l do not believe in oppos- ing a man for election to office with out some good cause, and if that cause is good ground for seeking his defeat, his constituents should be informed Of them, so that they might not cast a vote for some unworthy person.
 My record is before you all, ard If | any one can point to any act of mine which should act as a bar to my hold ing the office of Police Judge, let him ltell it now or forever hold his peace. appeal to all good Citizens who be- lieye the Courts should be conducted as the law directs, and punishment for violations meted out in accordance with the law as fl is written, and at the same time let Justice be tempered with Mercy, to go to the Polls on the . 10th of this month and vote for mf for Police Judge of this City
 My fight on Judge Ledgerwood is fight for the enforcement of the law f of this State and City, and not per sonal in any sense for any official wht
 violates, or has no regard for his off cial oath is unworthy of the conf dence of the people of the communit, in which he lives. THERE Is TOt MUCH OF IT NOW.
 The drumming evil as practced il
 this City is worse than the gamblinJ
 evil of which we have just been re lieved, and until those parasites arr
 removed from this community we vii
 never have peace. They are a thor in the side of humanity, and must b, eXtermina.ed hope my position il this matter is clear to all of you, ant am willing to stand upon the plat form which l have adc2ted, and if
 go down in defeat l will be conscious of the fact that 1 went down in thC cause of right and humanity.
 The facts are before you, and it is now up to you to say what you want done Do you want the law enforced or do you favor willful violations, by the people and the officers?
 There can be no half way ground in this matter, and I assure you I am looking for no favors from the drum ming element, for they know they can not expect anything from me.
 Many of you Know of my Physical iufrmities, and that it will he i'm | possible for me to get around to see yOu, but I beg that you will give my humble appeal your kind considers ticn, and if you think l am worthy and | well qualified for the position and will carry out your policies or your ideas of what you think is for the best oi this City, go to the Polls on the 10th of this month and cast your vote foI me for Police Judge.
