declared that when ne Is elected police
men will no longer be compelled to walk
their districts singly after dark and that
the police force will have TO spend more
time catching robbers, thieves and foot
pads that prey upon our citizens than il
does In going ten miles outside the city
to wave a red lantern in the face of
bootlegger who ought TO be caught 10y
the authorities whose duty it is to guard
country territory

Then he (Ralstonl goes around talk
ing like Lew Shank is immoral Well,
JUST LET him keep his own skirts clean
and stay out of my back yard. He'd
