N THAT DISCUSSION there was no mention of the municipal rail way real ineue.

ALDWELL was frankly informed J by The Star that wince he had no other iasue against Fitagerald than the mere fact that he wanted the job, we could not conscientiously op- pone Fitageraid, who was already in the office, and whose record ax coun cilman had been exceptionally good. Un leaving The Star's of that occasion Caldwell was aasured that altho the paper could not sup port him, it would not attack him. The parting was friendly; and Cald- well stated he wasn't sure then whether be would run or not. ee FTER SEVERAL WEEKS Cald-| well filed for mayor. Then, for the first time, he “discovered” an in sue--the municipal railway. He started to hammer it from all diree tions, He surrounded it with a lot of mystery, He hurled carefully worded insinuations at Hanson, at Fitzgerald, at Tom Murphine, former railway superintendent; nothing defi- nite, nothing plain, but subtly under- mining their standing In the confusion of things, and In the storm of his campaign fire, fact was lost sight of that he | self knew of the city’s offer to buy the line at $15,000,000, and was oor- poration counsel at the time the f- | for was made, and that he Fave out optimintic interviews that day con. cerning the proposition.

Caldwell 4id not direct it, to be sure. He did not even suggest it, it is nincerely to} be hoped. But he surely must have | known about it. He made no attempt to repudiate it.

And so Caldwell led Fitzgerald by some 6.000 Readers of The Star will remember that, tho we gave our indorsement |to Mayor Fitegerald, The Star did |not launch any campaign against | Caldwell, and when the primaries | were over, The Star indorsed Cald | well as against James Duncan, | eee IESE ARE THE FACTS about the mayoralty campaign. | When the next mayoralty election rolls around, The Star probably will support Mayor Caldwell for re-elec tion for the same reasons that it sup portell Fitzgerald—unleas a real is sue ix presented against him.
