He stood H up manfully until his party leaders appealed to H his party fealty and then he laid down. Why H should he be re-elected? Had there been a party H principle at stake it would have been different. H But there was none. It was a question solely H of putting the city in the hands of a corporation H for fifty years, a corporation that not only wanted M a franchise for half a century, but such a fran- jH chise as would place the city under its heel and JH give the city no chance to extricate itself. And H Mr. Hartenstein voted for it, cast the deciding H vote that he had often declared it would be in- famy to cast. Will his partisan friends reward H him by a re-election, and thus give notice that H with them party counts for more than principle? fM |
