published by w. H. Eustis, chairman of the
Republican city committee, and it will fur

To the Republican Electors of the City of
Minneapolis: An important election is at
hand. 1t is the one that comes nearest to
your home. 1t has to do with the laws, the
| morals, the education, the improvements the
health and beauty of our city. 1t is home

precedent. History repeats itself. In all
| large cities corruption. sooner or later, is
found in the administration of municipal
affairs. Why? Because the virtue, intelli-
gence and the labor and property interest
become indifferent to the election of the city
council. The best judgment and highest in
tegrity Of city should sit in its council

money to be voted, demand sound judgment
and unquestioned integrity.

The chief of police has arranged to have
police stationed at all the various polls to-
day, although it is not probable that the
patrolmen will have anything to do to pre-
serve the peace. Voters will undoubtedly go
quietly and orderly to the polls and deposit
their votes.
The vote to be polled to-day will be light.
The registration is not nearly SO large as it
was one year ago, although the population OF
the city is unquestionably largely in excess
of then.
The Democratic city committee met last
night and arranged for the distribution of
tickets at the polls to-day.
The Republican city committee failed to
meet last night.
There are thirty-two polling places in the
city.
