JUDGE AGAINST
LEMCKE LEVIES
WiImeth Denounces CoIIec-
ton From Employees.

City Judge Delbert o. Wilmeth,
candidate for Republican nomination
for mayor, denounced the present
city administration for collecting
money from policemen and firemen
to help the campaign OF Ralph A.
Lemcke. in a speech at the Irving
ton Republican Club Monday night.
You cannot, as good citizens, give
your approval tothe vicious scheme
by which the city administration
takes money from you without your
consent and spends 1t to maintain
bossism in city government" he
said.
81 know now that when Mayor
Shank worked to get more money
to give to policemen they did not
care n rap about the policemen.
What they wanted was to extract
more money from you taxpayers
TO give policemen so the City Hall
henchmen could take It away from
them to spend I'm maintaining their
political machine"
