John W Holtzman Viewed As Mayor and Man
The piece portrays John W Holtzman as upright personally yet weak politically. It criticizes his mayoral leadership as controlled by stronger interests and the Indianapolis News, naming Jim Beach, Charlie Polster, Blewett Lee, and the Indianapolis Southern case, all framing Holtzman as a tool rather than a forceful reformer. A concluding quip questions blame on farmers for holiday prices.
