ACT IG DEFEND
Tells Business Men He Is in
Line With Progressive Prin?
ciples of New Board.
"There Is nothing In my record'
cither as business man or as member
of the City Council that 1 heed defend,"
said Marx Gunst to a representative j
gathering at tho Business Men's Club
yesterday afternoon, "and that fact j
commutes my best claim to your I
vote next September. During my en?
tire eighteen years of Service In both
branches of the city government 1
have stood consistently for tho pro- j
gresslvs principles which resulted In j
the. crcution of the Administrative
Board, and 1 can truly tldm lo be In
accord with the policy Which t..e board
Is expected to follow."
Mr. Uunst was presented by President
Thomas P. Bryan, o: the Business
Men's Club, and made a forceful talk.
As a man whose whole life bus been
spent In business pursuits, he said, the
most important feature in connection
with the duties of the new board
seemed to him tb be the fact that live '
men will be Intrusted with thu expen?
diture of the annual budget of more .
than $3,000.000?a trust which Is given '
to few olftcers cither In governmental i
or commercial life.
UcntU uf Ward Spoils.
"The thing which will give me
greatest comfort under the new board
rule, whether 1 am fortunate enough
to be elected to Its membership or1
not, ' said Mr. Gunst, "will be the ellrn
Inatlon of ward lines In malting ap- i
proprlatlona, For years 1 have op
posed ward distribution of the public
funds. In thu appropriations for the |
Improvement of streets, particularly, \
ward politics hus played a pernicious ?
part, and I herald gladly the approach
of tho day when the greatest good to
the greatest number of citizens will
be the criterion which Will govern
appropriations, rather than the need ;
jf uppeasir.g rival w?rds."
Mr. Gunst declared ,himself as une- j
qulvocalty In favor of requiring the
vote of four-fifths of Uio members of
the Administration Board oa all im?
portant administrative business. It
might be practicable even, ho thought,'
In some cases to require a unanimous
vota of the membership.
"If a life spent In business pursuits '
is any recommendation lor a man as
; plring to a place on what is in its
I essence nothing more than a large
I business committee." concluded ilr.
\ Gunst, "then I claim to be amply
qualitied. If you will elect me to the
Administrativ? Board 1 promise to re?
turn to the city 100 cents ot service
for every dollar that may be paid me
in salaries."
Candidate John Hlrschberg will ad?
dress the members of the club this af?
ternoon.

gates were appointed lo the congres?
sional convention to be held in Bristol,
but no preference was expressed for

} Tne convention was about evenly
divided as between Taft and Rouse
' veil. The Taft adherents succeeded
; in preventing any demonstration in I
j favor of Roosevelt, and the speakers ;
j were very careful not to aliude to
either in a manner that might have
resulted In a demonstration. It ap
I pears that the followers ol the Bu.l
1 Moose were afraid to come out in the
I open and offer resolutions or make
j an effort to further the cause of the1
ex-President.

I to the nmount of sotno Jt.uOO.OOO. In
l fact, she was regarded at the time ot
'her marriage, In 1812, as the greatest
I heiress of her day. The early days of
I her married lifo were spent at her

For several years Lori and LaCy
Mornlngton llvod happily together,
then suddenly a change came over the
carl; who for some reason that has
never been known, (since the person
most deeply concerned, tho plundered
heiress and neglected Wlfs, kept Iter
own counsel.) became a man of the
most brutal and evil life. What Is
known Is that night after nlg'.u, when

went on until lato m tho morning at
the great house, and If storlca of the

ridiculously low figure, on tho oondl-j

I from bad to worse, and became to1
such an extent uu outcant, that a fam

that he was unlit to be trusted with

Cohen), of Antwerp, had dropped his
i Hebrew patronymic for the nonce und'
had inscribed himself on tho register
I as "Count Raphael C. d'Anvers," which
probably had to the writer n more1
aristocratic sound. Not to be outdone,
j Baron Oppenhelm, with a twinkle In
I his eye. followed suit, recording him
self In the book as "Baron O. de Co- ?
