i CANDIDATE I

Richards Declares No Aspirant
Possesses Complete Qualifi?
cation for Board.
Charles E. Richards, candidate, for
the Administrativ? Board, struck a
new note. In hi- tddress before the
Business Men's Club yesterday aftcr
noon. with the startling declaration
that In his opinion not a single man of
the seventeen now offering for < lec?

position of city administrator.
"\\'i h'-nr much dally of this und
that man's qualifications f"i dflleo,''
said Mr. Richards, "1 don't believe
thai thefc Is a single man now seek?
ing election i" tin- board who lj
thoroughly qualified for the fVoaltl u.
'I'horough qualification ban come only
ftom experience on ili* board lt-eiv.
No one can truthfully lay , InIill to that
without having had that experience.
The best that one can do Is to offer to
s-rve on the hoard and devote to it the
same practical knowledge that lie has
shown In the management of his own
affairs ."
Following this line of reasoning.
Mr. Richards called attention to his
long and varied business experlenc.
In this city and to a successful ad?
ministration of his own husino-s,
which, he thought, spoke well for his
ability to manage the affairs of the
i lty.
Progressive tn Council.
Mr- Richards referred to his st\
Mars of service m the Council, and
particularly to his work on the Water,
Street and Finance Committees which
brought him In touch with thi details
of the city's business. in the Coun?
cil, he said, he had always beeil a
pr ogresslve.
"I have even gone to far," said Mr.
Richards, "as t-i prefer charges

iriot cart st this time to name these

Mr Richards declared himself to be

The tu lief that his sudden departure

Up to two month:! .lite. Priddy. who

that for several months he had been]

and had set mod deeply Interest! tl

Later on he was called upon by the

that there had been a mistake, nnj that

but a ruse to enable hint to regain his

so.in afterwards when he heard of her

He returned to his work last Monday,

It'was suggested yesterday that he

the State The fly. heretofore the mo-t

At llrst the dining rooms were

under Dr. Flanhagun's demands; the

that the germs of disease may not bo
