Here is the one most certain fact about Dr. Brown's campaign for mayor: He is being enthusiastically backed by the most notorious lobbyists and legislative debauchers in the state. He is being backed by the sinister elements that made the independent voters turn away in disgust at the primary from the can- didacy of Walter F. Meier, a man personally clean. He is being backed by every selfish, special interest Tonight end Thureday, fair; moderate southerly winds, Temperature Last 24 Hours Maximum, 71. Minimum, 48.

The Star believes the people who will go to the polls in the final election on May 2 to elect as mayor either Dr. Brown or Dan Landon, are entitled to hear definitely and in detail from Dr. Brown on this important matter. That the ey may know just where he stands NOW, The Star asks Dr. Brown these questions: 1. You have received and have accepted vam- | paign money since the primary election from a group of leading bankers. How much, doctor? And what are you going to do with it? 2. Those bankers are throwing to your sup- port every influence it is possible for them to command. What, doctor, in return for. that support, do they expect you to do for them if you are elected mayor!
