For many months the fight for more adequate schools
and improved school conditions has been in progress
this is the time that anyone in our city knew
that Mr.. Taylor has taken the least interest IN the
matter. To the public school reformers he was an
unknown quantity until he decided only a few days
ago to declare himself means for currying public
favor

improved market conditions the public knows that

have something to do with drafting certain Chamber

The fact OF the matter is that, instead OF being

to ho bill OF particulars with respect to his public
activities during The last hvo or six years nc would
be placed in an exceedingly embarrassing situation.
The truth probably is mat when the invisible gov

should stand for the Republican nomination for Mayor
he and Alice and his other supporters sat down and
spent hour building up platform made OF
planks upon which Mr.. Taylor never had trodden,
upon which he had troddon lightly to leave

those who know Mr.. Chandler surprised that his

When asked for the loving cup fund we felt sure
it would be forthcoming. More money than was needed
to purchase the cup subscribed the residue was
used TO purchase the other gifts.
BY the same token when asked the people OF the
