ison's women campaign managers, and
Miss KATRINA Fetrig, a candidate for
nomination for city councilman, who
has been Endorsed by Mr.. Robson. spoke.
William II. Jackson, negro editor. kept
the audience roaring with his ludicrous
characterizations Of prominent figures in
the city hall crowd.
Despite rainy weather approximately
100 persons attended the meeting, which
was about half as many more than the
number who heard Mr.. Howe from the
same platfrom a few days ago.
When Mr.. Robson entered the audi
forum he was greeted with much ap-
plause and when Mr.. BookwAlter walked
back into the political arena the enthusi

ly touched by the tribute

CURED OF POLITICS"
with a declaration that he was appear
ing In behalf of Mr. Robson because Of
no selfish motive.
81 am that rare bird, a thoroughly
cured e1-politician," he said.
Because I refused TO surrender my
selfrespect and independent manhood
some years ago I met with rather q
turbulent reception and I have no doubt
that this time, for daring TO run counter
to the wishes Of the same influences
which could not control me before, that
my entrance into this fight viii be greet
ed rather warmly-particularly by the
journalistic Simon Legree family"
OUR FILL OF
SCHOOL TEACHERS"
He opposes Mr.. Howe, he said, upon
the grounds that. while he IS a fine gen
tleman personally. he is backed by iuflu-
ences which stand for everything opposed
to honor and justice and I'VE have had
enough experience from 1913 to- 1921 with
school teachers In charge OF our govern
ment"
He said that Mr.. Robson has been
tried in a public position as county treas
urer and found worthy and has been tried
in business and demonstrated his ability.

don't need q scientist. We've had that
sort of thing for four years"
NEEDLESS EXPENSE
DOUBLED TAXES."
Taxes have more than doubled within
the past year due to such actions as the
purchase Of a $4,000 garbage plant for
$4,000 by the administration Of Mayor
Charles W. Jewett, he said. He scored
the Jewett leaders from the mayor down.

STUFF PLANNED.
Right now they are planning to ram
their man down our throats. If they
do 1t in a fair election, unpleasant as
the dose viii be. we will have to take it,

or it borders mighty closely on socialism
AS a father l am opposed to the wide
open town and as a citizen 1 am opposed
to socialism"
He told how within the preceding sew
enty-two hours two negroes sat in bis
office and told him how over 1000 votes
were changed in four precincts after they
had been cast In the last municipal etec-

"And they are planning to do the very

IF they put that over this time I say
here and now that for the first time in
my life as n Republican 1 will refuse to
