To the Public:
1 wish to offer a few words ri
explanation as to why 1 will not
avail myself of the invitation to

dacy.
In the first place, the meeting
is advertised as one where candi-
dates, seeking Office, shall be
brought into the open I do not
like the implied threat in this
statement, and l do not recognize
any authority on the part of the
Chamber of Commerce or its Off
GERS to make it. My candidacy

in this contest.

laration, wish to state that l am
not seeking the endorsement of
the Chamber of Commerce or of
any other organization, league.

putting my candidacy up to the
people as a whole, and not to any
self-appointed committee. Such
explanation as l have to offer,
will make to all the people and
that publicly My views, in this
contest, are, or should be, well I'M
derstood by the gentlemen in ques-
ton, but if it is not entirely clear
to all parties, please allow me to
repeat the principal items in my
platform.

terests of Rock Island. In fact,
the only pledges or promises l
have made are those appearing
over my name in the press of this
city.
I take pride in my former ad-
as being thoroughly
progressive and business-like in
every detail, and call attention to
the era of expansion and anneXa-
ton, inaugurated at that time, a
matter vital to the future of this
