The clippings he pasted up on the front of his official headquarters???tales of recent Toledo crimes?to remind Toledo voters that Potentate Brown's candidate for reelection, Mayor William T. Jackson, had promised a crime cleanup, had not succeeded. The prize clipping related how the Brown Chief of Police had paid $7 to recover his watch from a pawnshop, whither it had been brought by a thief who had sneaked it from the room...
...lines will soon rise opposite the Capitol, north of the Library of Congress.
