"The organisation the worklngmen ' formed has alwaya bean open and above board in Its dealings, and ita aoie pur poat la to encourage honeat and decent municipal government, regaraieaa or po lltlcal affiliation. Tha worklngmen In taking a live Interest In city affairs were only doing their duty as taxpayers and exerclslnc their rlghta as cltlsens Thla la granted save by the employers' association, who fall to concede the worklngmen any rights politically or Industrially.

Casa of mule or Bain. ' "The reason is plain. It is a case of rule or ruin. What they cannot use to their own selfish interests they would destroy. "In the primaries tha employers' asso- platlon waited until the eleventh hour to send out a scurrilous jeuer, to tether with marked ballots In tha Inter est of Mr. Lombard. Tha effect was ao apparent that a change of policy waa thought wise. The latest means or de ception devised by these people la to cir culate among the business men with a abatement that Mr. Rushlight has made promises to tne wormngmen 10 appoint certain of their members to responsible public positions. . "In justice to the voters and to Mr. Rushlight, we deem it only fair to brand as false the reports circulated by Mr. Simon's supporters. Moreover, we wish (o affirm that tha worklngmen repre sented in the club have no written, oral or tacit promise or understanding from Mr. Rushlight or anyone elae, to the effect that any man or aet of men shall be given appointments. ? "The working people are supporting Mr. Rushlight on account of his record In the city council, where he has alwaya Bto for the people' and against spe cial Interests and against street vaca tionsfighting for what he thought waa right, just and fair to all the people. This Is-sufficient recommendation, and the worklngmen need no promise of of fice to rally to the support of such a man. M. E.
