passage In the speech which Count

minister. delivered before the reich
srath on January "a, which Is now
causing a storm OF anti-Austrian ngi-

clcverly distorted 80 NJ to completely
change its meaning In the version
which the German Wolff bureau per-
mitted to go to England and America.
Referring to President Wilson's pro-
posals. the Anstro- Hungarian foreign
minister was quoted as SAYING

Rotten Railroadiny."

The brotherhood leaders used such
vigorous expressions as rotten rail-
roading' To convey their opinion of the
way the business has been carried on
since the government took charge. and
they offered to produce scores of in
stances of delayed crews. changes in
personnel and misuse of rolling stock
TO prove their statements
The ordinarily quiet course Of such
hearing WAS ruftled from the very
outset. Lee and Garretson, appearing
TO present the claims of their brother
hoods for wage increases, found several
railroad representatives present and
entered an immediate protest, declar-
ing they did not propose to deal with
two sets of employers. The commits
sion explained that the railroad men
were there by special invitation to sup
plemcn', not to antagonize the infor-
nation presented by the employees

 have made no promises, nor
 have I intimated, as to whom I favor for Chief of Police, or any other office.
 l stand for the strict enforcement of the law.
 l stand for the improvement of our public parks and play grounds.
 I believe the city should be man. aged for the interest of the tax payers and not for office holders and politicians.
 Politicians, and paid nolitica workers are telling the people that I will close the picture shows and other places of innocent amuse- ment op Sundays This is not so. This would require an ordinance passed by a majority of the con- mission.
 I ask the people not to believe the many misrepresentation that are being circulated about me.
 During my entire incumbency of office as City Commissioner I have always stood and made a clean fight for good government which the records at the City Hall will prove I ask you to inspect these records, after which I am willing to abide by your judgment.
