Brand Whitlock 
MAYOR OF TOLEDO, OHIO, 
The Task of Being 
A Mayor 
Tes WORLD TO-DAY takes pleasure 
in announcing that it has arranged with 
Mayor Whitlock for a most important 
series of articles on municipal affairs, showing the trials and pitfalls 
of running the modern American city. 
These articles will cover such vital topics as: 
The Management and Mismanagement of a City’s Finances. 
The Elimination of Graft. 
The Strength and Weakness of Civil Service. 
The Police and the Criminal. 
The Reformer and the ‘‘ Practical Politician.’’ 
The City and the Public Utility Corporation. 
Sac e is no more interesting figure in American politics than Mr. Whitlock. As 
n whose interests are pronouncedly those of literature he became the political heir 
5 “Golden Rule” Jones, and has just been elected for the third time mayor of the city 
of Toledo. He will give the readers of WORLD TO-DAY something more 
than an abstract discussion. The articles in a sense will be autobiographical. Readers 
of Mr. Whitlock’s stories of politics will set also that they will be possessed of 
all the a eness of real literature. There is no man in the country, unless 
it be ex-President Roosevelt, who to the same eokgis combines political ex- 
perience and: wrcicd idealism with literary ability 
Mr. Whitlock’s first article will appear in ae June issue. Every 
person interested in municipal government and reform should read aH 
these articles.. This is but one big feature; there are many more. ws
