thinking women. as there are many
right here IN this room, who did
mot approve Of it.
I'VE did not aS Mrs. Mueller saids
Jump at conclusions, as we carefully
read the article. We are not as she

He Is not. Mayor Beach is a gentle
man in every way.
Are we going to stand for what
Mrs. Mueller considers as having
less intellect than the black sheep.
For some human beings could we
take a lesson from the black sheep.
In order to learn from others they
must know more than me and l take
objection to being considered less
intelligent than black sheep.
MRS. Mueller said that Mrs
Brandrup 'railroaded' the women OF
the w. G.. U. l am a member
Of that organization, but | do not
believe that Mrs. Brandrup did. J
believe that organization is made up
of thinking and intelligent women,
and that each one acts according To
her own convictions.
Mrs. Mueller spoke of the up
lifting club women OF Mankato, who
closed the ,closet door so as not to
expose the skeleton Of crime au
not believe our up lifting club wo-
men are doing that. ! know that
they are doing what they can to
suppress crime, and better the city
in every way.
Mrs. Mueller spoke OF our wo-

stamina to do what is right. Our
clubs have both pluck and stamina,
and have in the past accomplished
much for the up lifting Of the peo-
pie OF Mankato, and a great deal of
good has been accomplished by
them"

What Mrs. Brandrup Said Prior to
Election
The article referred to by Mrs.
Day as being published in The Free
Press is re published below, so that
people may know what article was
referred to: IF.
Mankato, March 29.-To the Free
Press: AS a member of the Man
kato Council of Women, an organi-
zation whose primary object is the
civic, educational and moral i'm
provement Of our city, have been
deeply interested in watching the
methods of the present administra
tion as compared with that which
Immediately preceded It, The off,
cial record of both has been care
fully examined and the following in
formation obtained:
Beach ministration-Total mum
Der of arrests, 1854: total amount of
fines collected, $7,149.O6H: selling and
manufacturing Of intoxicating IL
quors: Forty six arrests. The above
includes several successful raids
which were made. Cases carried to
district court (these are felony cas-
esq sixty seven.
Waters administration Total
number of arrests, 292; total amount
of fines collected, $2,379.14; selling
anu MISUNDERSTANDING vi iutOAlCdtluS
liquors, none: cases carried to dis
trict court (these are felony cases.:
thirty
During the first year OF the Beach
administration there were one hum
dred and eighteen more arrests
made and $1,261.94 more collected
in fines than in the Waters admin
istration. Twelve more cases were
taken to the district court in one
year than in the two years of the
Waters regime. The present policc
force has handled many juvenile
cases which do not appear on the
records and whom the Judge and
chief of police have kept under su.
pervision for long periods of time,
giving them chance to make good
rather than to attach to them the
stigma of police record. In the ma
jority of these cases the results have
been very satisfactory. During the
Beach administration twenty three
automobiles have been stolen in the
city, fifteen Of these were recovered,
and seven of the thieves apprehend J
ed and sentenced to penal institu
tions. Aside from the above, four
teen cars stolen elsewhere were re-
covered here by our police force.
There has been perfect harmony and
cooperation between the present po-
lice force, and the sheriff's office
and the federal authorities. The
above facts are sufficient argument
for the continuance of the Beach ad :.
ministration.-Mrs. ]. r. Brandrup,
704 Byron street. II
