Where Church Stands on Other Important Questions
Editor Tribune Dear Sir In view of false impressions about my attitude toward city affairs I state my stance. A long time resident I cite 26 years in town and 35 years facing the world yet keeping Christian teachings and seeking practical methods to improve the city. I claim votes for the 1899 anti gambling law and I introduced the city anti gambling ordinance as alderman. I note Mayor Walter H Cleave asked me to run his campaign and he won a large majority over a strong opponent.
