"You say I hall have the nomination and if I should get the norm nation you wont let me be elected, so what harm can come of my trying? But the Old Liners were Ann. They had no time for what tbey termed a fresn kid. thought he knew something about politics and wished to get municipal affairs on a broad plane and out of the old rut. There were thirty delccates In the nominating con vention. ami twenty one of the delegates voted for Mellett.

Elected by Big Majority. last ir an elected from the First tvard got in by eighteen votes. The Old Liners, the traction the" gas Interests, the public utilities fought him. but the people stood by him and Mellett Was ciected to the council by a majority ikhh (umaiiijiTii ahu then he begnn to keen his promises. Before lb election told the peopia of the rltv what would do and he did It.

He foiijrht tie' people's. battles from start to tinin and st the finish he was the victors Frend lirown. 'a young man, made a hole1 in a stdewalk to get to his place of business. The police rushed Hrown Into court, and he was fined for1 violating a state I law and threatened with a jail sentence. The Cnion Traction Company dug a hole in the sidewalk for an entrance to the company's wait fug room in the ibesement of the Union block.

Mellett inslated that this was Just as' much, a violation of the "law as was committed by Frend Brown and demanded tha4 action be taken against the traction company. But the city authorities declined to do anything with the big corporation. Ko Mellett filed the affidavit himself and compelled the police to make the arrest. Tractlan Company Fined The. traction company took changes of venue to "different, counties, i Mellett employed a lawyer to prosecute, 'paid' the witnesses out of his own pocket and finally a Grant county Jury the company The company paid the fine, shut up the.

hole In the sidewalk and moved the waiting room elsewhere. Now Mellett did not have any animosity toward the traction company, but It was agalust his sense of Justice that the little fellow should be punished and the hlg corporation ko free for doing tbe same act. There were complaints for a long time about the rates for gas and the quality furnished the reopie ot una city, dui tne gas company was in politics and the people had to suffer because the Old Liners did tiot care to Interfere with the preserves of one of their alltes. Mellett took up the flstit He wag able to get an expert T.ere. and the investigation showed that the gas was pr, the meters were; nmninr like race and the rates! njl too hlKn.

1 ne councilman me First ward then proposed to have 6J cent gas for the people of Anderson. Sixty Cent Gas Ordinance Mellett had a bard fight, and ie had. much to contend with, wit re lie got through an ordinance requiring the company to charge not mora than 60 cents for Its gas. This ordinance was never sizned by Mayor Foster, but the public utilities commission will take the matter up as toon as It gets in working order ami Mellett is satisfied that the romnilsMon will agree with him that 60 rents "Is a fair rate fer gaa In this city. Next came a f.gl for cheaper rates tPirphne service.

Mellett did not have to fight hard because the company aw what it was up against. If saw that the people of Anderson behind the oounctluian from the First ward, and It hurried to make pes" ith him by of acreement that will make a iit reduclton In telephone rates, as well as away with, one of the telephone Sterns now used here. Sot long ago the council appropriated i Vo to make certain Improvements. Mellett Insisted that thts money was appropriated, under a misapprehension, that It would nor be used for the purpose stated So he Introduced an ordinance to recover the J7.O0O back Into the general fund, where it could be of benefit to all the people. Police Refuse to ObeyjMayor.

the fight was on in the eouncli Mayor Foster refused to recognize Mellett. and Mellett took an appeal from the chair and was sustained ana nen tne mavor ordered the police to arrest the councilman front the First ward not one Muecoat offered to carry out tne oroer. know Mellett was in tne rignt. 1tn he sqvek hed the mayor's proposi tion to Duy a uwm'wmj vuv down yverai other expensive proposi tions.

The Old Liners, realizing that they are gettii the worst of It, are proposing publicly: to get betilnd Mellett help him Jn the race. Just as Mart Norton got behind Ted Van Nuys.

To all of these, thank is as the use of automobtle expedited the work of relief. CEspecUl mention must be made to the Taggart Baking Company, which offered free of chant and furnished thousands of loaves of bread, at a time when bread was the most needed article.

"The Rev. Mr. Nelson, the Kelson Free Mission, deserves the thanks of your honorable body for the assistance he rendered throughout the flood. "I wish to extend my personal thanks to Lieutenant Armstrong for the twenty five men he furnished without expense. Their services can not be estimated.

A voung fireman, George Townsend. from "No. 11 engine house, rendered excellent service at the Oliver avenue bridge, through being accustomed to the water. He was In the worat of It Mr. Reseller, of the Central Transfer Company, furnished trucks at all hours and these were of vital Importance In transferring boats.

Aside from tlie assistance rerfdered this department too much praise can not. be given William IseiUohr and his wife for the. relief work which thev conducted The Crescent Paper Company also gave the use of their motor truck. G. 1L above all others, was the man who furnished boats.

Of course, II the ow uners wish to support him, they can have that privilege "If 1 should be elected mayor," said Mr. Mellett.

"I will have not strings tied, to me. If I have to go Into the mayor's office bound and gagged. I don't want the Job. I am not a boss: I don't helleve in bossea. and won let any boea run me.

If I am elected it will be by the people and not by a bunch of politicians, and I will atand by the people regardless of What the bosses or' the politicians aay or think about it I have no platform except the most good for the most people. I stand for law enforcement, and I don't care who knows it I am not waiting until after I get the nomination. before telling the people of this city my position. I tell It to them now. and if any one thinks I won't enforce the law should I be elected mayor, he had better not vote for me: And I don't mean either that I will eni force the law against some little fellow and let.
