L. Thompson has been all these years, the HEAD of the office IN FACT as well as in name, and thereby is entitled to be held vesponsible for the work, the good as well as bad, whether lie or an employe does it. and that also he has the power to employ or discharge employes with one exception and that one, with the approval of the mayor. So, if the work is not satisfactory, he is solely responsible. Accuracy is part of ef- ficiency, that being the case, how could a person hold a certain pn'&ition 13 years when its former occupant only vacated it eight years ago? M. Thompson is not responsible for, and does not know anything about the many demgatmv stories in circulation about the conduct of the office now heing used as campaign material. He is too much of a gentleman. he also appreciates loyalty and friendly acts. CAMPAIGN MANAGER. - e 2 STORES If It Swims—We Have 1t -—~>-' McKNERNEY and YEADON 1199
