Scores of republicans in this city, being
to ''give the old man chance, .
are going to support Mr.. Mott for mayor
tomorrow, the man who will always sub
ordinate his personal interests to the wei
fare of the city.
At no tins since the campaign opened,
the ARGUS announces with great pleasure,
have the prospects of Mr.. Motifs election
been as gratifying as they are to-day.
Our citizens generally are pleased with the
man and his record; with his evident
anxiety to have some degree of account
ability to the tax payers by the city
officials respecting the handling of the
funds. They are entirely dis
satisfied with a policy which would keep
back the record from the light of day I'M
til after election, which would permit one
citizen to do as he pleased about keeping
his faith with the city and compel another
to march Up To the rack. This sort of
dealing has become a stencil in the n0strils
of the people.
For nobby suit call on J. B. Zimmer.

A more faithful servant of the people
