When Mr.. Caldwell, in
his opening speech of
the campaign, showed
that his chief, if not
only point of criticism
of Fitzgerald was his
retention of the present
superintendent of utili-
ties, it is but fair to the
voters to inform them

The Star is not at all
antagonistic to any i'm

Star is neither for Mr..

that most of the voters
