If you went on honest assessment, vote for W. E. Brend. Madmen”. Some peoplef in Ward Four object to Mr. Greenslade because he voted the wrong ticket last spring. Yes, he did yote it and so made a mistake because he wanted to elect a person- al friend. After the election was all over he learned that those who really managed that campaign did not care and did not intend to elect his friend. ‘ They set him up and used him as a decoy todraw 06 votes frOm some one else, so their real 'man could be elected, just as they , want you to put up another man to draw votes away from Mr. Green- slade and so let Mr. Obee in. It is the same 'old rotten, dishonest game. Well, Fred was naturally mad and he vowed vengeance. on. that crowd any time he had a chance. All this he told, us in our home very soon after last spring’s election; months V and months before he was thought of or spoken of for alderman in his ward this year. That is why they are doing everything .in their pOWer { to defeat him. Now do you good, bon- est Fourth Warders want or‘ intend ' to hoist W.-J. Obee on the. city for _ another two years? That is, do you intend to punish every good citizen in Highland Park by fastening Obee on us for two years, just for the sake of “getting even” with Fred Green- slade? That is what it means. All the Obee,Cobb, Knox etc., cro‘wdwant , is for you not'to vote for Mr, Green- slade and you will be told all sorts of fasehoods, to get you to vote' for some one else or not Vote at all. The whole question is nowâ€"shall it to . Obee or G reenslade? and every good citizen out of your ward wants Greenslade. He can’t by any means he as bad as Obee. Unintentionally the writer did Charles B. Rice an inju-itiee last week inelassing him as a member of the political “gang,” to use a current phrase of the street, and criticizing him for being afiliated with them. We reflected not our own opinions merely, but the consensus of the thought and convictions of many of the beetmen in the town. Neither they nor we could understand, save on the grounds indicated. why he should allow the use of his name on that town ticket unless he a'filiated with the men who made it up and composed it. It now appears that the whole thing was done without his knowledge or consent. as he was out of town. We were told he was out of t0wn the day his name was put on, but that he returned the next day. and still his name stood there. Our inference was natural, but we should have inquired at his home as to his being in town or not, though not a shadow of doubt occurred to us People have {suggested just the things we stated When he refused to run for supervisor a year ago not a few said it was because he did not wish to break with the-Obee crowd.. Now his immediate, absolute. and peremptory withdrawal from that ticket, as soon as he reached heme, shows that our conclusions and criti. cisms were incorrect and uncalled for, though made in all honesty and sincerity. We make this statement just as pheerfully as we made the criticism,as it was a personal disap' pointment, as "in the case of Mr. E.A. Small; that such a man, "one with such a recognized position, standing and character should injure himself and forfeit somuch for the sake of any thing to be gained by an alliance with men and methods whom the good peOple of Deerfieid township and theocity of Highland Park utter ly repudiate .1. .4 A_‘ ‘ , --‘___ LL“; 'J -vr_._v,, We are therefore Very sorry that we did him an unintentional" injus- tice. and we are Very glad “ that he repudiates all alliance with such men, for they sought to use his name as they did Mr. Smail‘a, to give charac~ ter to their ticket and every good citizen will rejoice with us. It is no part of our policy or purpose to mis- represent any man or cause.
