may we beg to remind him that there
are several other members of the
council. without whose aid. nothing
could be done, even 10y the highly
efficient and capable gentleman. who
seeks % continue 20 run the city
affairs as commissioner.
We nave also heard that we are
opposing Mr. Fullerton because OF
politics. We desire To repudiate this
also. il there is anything behind it,
Mr.. Fullerton has been elected dur
ing the past few years on the Re
publican ticket This publication is
Republican in its beliefs.
The sole reason why The Alma
Record has opposed Mr. Fullerton,
and expects TO continue to oppose
him until after the election, is be
cause The Record believes that bet
ter results can be secured for the city
of Alma with two Of the other three
short term candidates elected at the
April election. Political standings of
the various candidates have been
thrown to the winds by The Record
II desires simply those men, whom
il believes and feels are best quail
fed TO serve the interests of the
people Of Alma to the fullest extent.
We would ask Mr. Fullerton 20 am
swer just few questions at this
time, and welcome reply from him

same full publicity that other ques-
tions will get
We ask Mr.. Fullerton in spite Of

If elected as ne is "a member of the

that we spoke the truth
We would ask Mr. Fullerton if 1t
is not true. that the voters ON Second
avenue and West End streets were
assured that II Mr. Fullerton were
elected that he would use his intlU-
ence to have these streets boulevard
ed
We would ask also if it is not true
that recently it was given out at
certain place that his initatory pc
tition was signed by over 100 bust
ness men of the city?
To bring an end to this little dis
cussion may be beg TO be advised By
Mr.. Fullerton if he believes that a
man. entirely out Of sympathy with
the commission form of city govern
ment. who fought it as hard as he
could. and who claimed that ii would
not be success and who pointed
out cities wherein it had failed. is
the kind of a man TO elect as com
missioner. on if he believes that
capable man, who is thoroughly in
with the commission form
Of city government, and believes that
Alma has a splendid future before
it under this form. should be the
man TO be selected at this time to
run the. city affairs.

The Record does not attempt the

does however claim the right and
duty of a newspaper to put before
the public the facts concerning men,
who may show themselves incom-
petent i'm Office or other citizens, who
may politically, morally or socially
disgrace themselves. even down TO
newspaper reporters.
II is the duty Of a newspaper to
create public opinion. rather than
wait and jump into the band wagon.

thoroughly in this prime duty of "a

Recently in addressing small
meeting of the ladies' of the women's
voting club at the city hall, il is un-
derstood that Mr.. Nelson Fullerton.
VINO Is candidate for commissioner
TO be voted upon at the election April
Z claimed that the reason why he
was being opposed by The Alma Rec
ord was because he opposed the rails
ing Of the rates of the Gratiot Coun-
~ Gas company last year.
If such a statement was made, il is
the desire of The Record to fatty re-
pudiate II, and it points out that Mr..
Mr.. Fullerton did not oppose the sub
mission of the proposed amendment
Of the gas franchise ordinance. voted
upon on April l of 1918. An ordin-
anee, known as ordinance 1O1 was
passed by the council and submitted
70 the voters Of the city. relative 70
the increase in the gas rate on a
sliding scale based upon the cost OF
gas coal. The vote shown on this
proposition puts Mr.. Fullerton right
with the other members Of the coun-
cli, all Of whom voted yea on the
measure. This means that Mr.. Full
ierton supported the gas company
rather than opposed il. and hence
this cannot be the reason for its be.
ing opposed by The Record.
We understand that Mr.. Fullerton
claims that electric lights are his
hobby. and that he is informing tn,

done Tor the city I'm this respect
