by a group of interested Baltimore
citizens. Mr.. Johnson recently made

The above article or comment was
dished up, in the Chicago Evening

Saturday evening. March Is, and we
are proud of the fact that Col. Stuart
permitted the more than FIVE hundred
thousand readers of the Evening

max, for when white gentleman who
claims to belong to the superior race
will beat a colored newspaper editor
out of the small sum of thirty-five
dollars he cannot be classed with
honest and straightforward business
men.
1t seems mighty hard for the Hon
Anton J. Cermak, to play the part Of
a gentleman who is the big Demo
cratic boss of the Twelfth Ward.
for one day during the first part of
last week we came in contact with
Mr.. Sonny Sunshine on the second
floor of the Sherman House and while
conversing with him in reference to
the thirty-hve dollars which the Hon.
Anton ]. Cermak still owes US the big
boss strutted by US and he exclaimed
to Mr.. Sonny Sunshine: stop talking
to him and come with me, and if he
bothers you why don't you have him
pinched and we can live in this city
for twenty-five years without paying
the slightest attention to Mr.. Sonny

HERE'S WHAT HON. CHARLES
RINGER, REPUBLICAN CAM
DADE FOR COUNTY TREAS
URER SAYS FOR HIMSELF:

To the Voters of Cook County:
What l believe you want to know
from me, more than anything else, is
how / propose to run the Office of
county treasurer if / am elected what
specific and unevadible pledges l give
to assure all the interest on public
funds being turned into the county
treasury; whether certain banks will
be favored over others as depositor-
les; whether funds, when collected,
WILDE held back from the city and
other branches of our local govern
ment at times when they need these
funds.
As specifically and unevasively as
possible, hereby give my pledge that
every cent of interest on public funds
deposited with me shall 60 into the
public treasury; that my salary will
be nv sole emolument and that will
not derive 50 much as one cent of
profit from my oustodianship. Is that
plain, frank and conclusive? If !
could make it any more definite, /
would do so in a minute
True, there is a law covering the
handling of county funds, but it res
NAMED for my opponent to suggest
in a campaign speech that laws may
be evaded. The law will NOT be
evaded if I am elected, but on the con-
trary / shall take pride in observing
both its letter and spirit. There will
be no pet banks"
Moreover, ! assure you that there
will be no undue delay in the appor.
tionment of the funds among the
proper taxing bodies. Such delays,
am aware, have been the subject of
frequent criticism during other re-
gimes. Economy will result from
such a prompt distribution.
1t will be my ambition to have my
Office conducted with efficiency as
well as integrity. / promise business

RYAN HANDLES CERMAK
WITH GLOVES OFF
Asks Democratic Opponent for coun-
ty Board Head Where ~Slashes"
VIII Be Made

Hon. Daniel Ryan, President of the
County Board, on Tuesday slammed
some hot queries at his Democratic
opponent, A. ]. Cermak. He de-
manded a showdown on the latters
claims that, If elected, he will slash
county government expenses right
and left. He branded Cermak's insin-
uations of extravaganza" as mere po-
litical fol-de-rol, and declared that
Cermaks talk proves he IS woefully
ignorant as to county affairs.
"Sueh glittering generalities are
pure bunk" said President Ryan.
I'VE are conducting the county's
business with an eye always to econ
omy, and are reducing expenses as
rapidly as the nations return to nor
NAL conditions will permit. This gen
tleman should be more specific in his
talk.
Does Mr.. Cermak, if elected
which he won't be-propose to slash
the outlay for mothers pensions, for
which purpose the law provides a
specific tax of cents on each hun
bred dollars valuation? This tax,
approved by every civic body in Cook
County, yields around 100000 an
nually.
Does Cermak propose to reduce
expenses for jurors, whose compen-
sation is fixed by law at s. a day7
If so, how1 Jury service costs Cook
County about $4,000 a year.
will Cermak reduce the payments
to industrial schools, over which the
County Board has no jurisdiction, ex-
eept to pay on commitments made by
the judge of the Juvenile Court? If
so, hoW7
"Will Cermak reduce the outlay for
nursing service at the Cook County
Hospital, which has attained a ma
tion-wide reputation for excellence?
This nursing service today, as for the
past thirty-fve years, is under super
vision of the Illinois Training School
for Nurses, an institution endorsed by
every civic body IN Chicago and Cook
County. That costs around 100000
annually.
