CITY OF SPRINGFIELD
For water-W oTk> Trustee,
FRANK NJ. BOOkWALTER.


Y" republican convention held in Clark
county ever accomplished more magnificent
results than that nf Yesterday. The ticket
l. H. >trouy A. could have. possibly beem So
lrrtrd even from the great r->ourcr> of
Ciarh-romty republicans.
Jolly. honest gu"d-uatured Uncle Bill
Baker needs Il" introduction /" the public.
There j. hardly a man. woman. or child in
the county that does not know him and like
him. lie, has administered the affairs of the
>hrrifi> office for the past tw" years /" tn"
thorough satisfaction Of the court, the com
mi>>iunrr>. and the public.
John W. Parsons i name that j. sure I"
command the respect and admiration of ey-
eTynne who knows the man and knows his
upright honest character and his line rrpu-
tatium A. a Businessman.
George Alt will make an honest.
economical mfirmary director in the future
a. he has in the past.
Jim Foley knows every body. Just aS every
body knows and RESPECTS him. He has a
Iiur rer"rd A. public officer. and will carry
the county with majority Just a. sweeping
aS that with which he carried il in the coll
Vrutiuu yesterday,
J. VI. Stewart. W. II. Craig and Joseph
Harrison. Tor trustees. and Isaac Kndlr.
for clerk. are not likely t" meet
with amy opposition. They are Staunch
upright men of sterling worth, who
have administered the township offices with
credit and general satisfaction. and will
continue 10 do -.
The general expression Of eyrIv one on
leaving the convention Yesterday TaS one
OF Self-congratulation that W. NJ. Rockel
had won the nomination for ju>tire of the
peace. He i a hard an earnest worker in
the cause OF republicani>m. and well de
serves the office. Moreover il is a step in
advance to be>tow this office on one who
has a Thorough knowledge of the law
Every one who knows his character will
rest assured that he will be- true Ia his
Trust and administer the office Ia the best
OF his ability.
Tom Jewett has made by far the most
efficient constable that the township has
had for years. and }. :. Bryant will make
one Just A. good.
WATEE-WOEk~ TRUSTEES.
The convention certainly made a tel
strike by nominating Frank NJ Bookwalter
for Water-WoTk> trustee Ia take the place
Of John II. Thomas. democrat. whose tenn
expire, this spring. This position is one
with which ordinary party politics has little
or nothing t" do. II WAS the general all
drr>tandng. when the board of tru>
tees was created. that the republicans
should have tw" members and the demo
crats one. However, two wears ago the
democrats took advantage Of their tidal
wave to put in one of their number. who
knew nothing about the business. and ou>t
a republican who had been Identified with
il from the first. thus giving them a maiuri-
y "n the board. In order to restore the old
and normal balance of the board. the repub-
licams this year hnd it necessary Ia I'LL the
plarc OF John H. Thomas. Their nominee.
Frank NJ. B"okwaIter j. not. in any Srm>e
"t the word. a politician. He has
lived the retired life of a student and
worker. Having the management of the
LrfieI Water-Wheel works for years. he. i
brtter pU~trd than any man in Springfield
ou hydraulics lie Is all" thoroughly con
yrr~amt with all kinds of mechanical con
Strurtiou His reputation as an astronomer
is well known. and he i in every way a
Thorough man Of >rit.mcr. Everyone who
knows him understands that if he can be-
induced to accept the nomination. he will
make one of the best tru>tr, that have ever
been on the board.
CuUNCIInMFN.
The ward tickets, H. far a. made
out. are priut,d elsewhere in this
ISSUE There is nu more important office
within the gift Of the people than that Of
councilman. and this subject cannot be to-
carefully considered by THE voters. There
are very important questions of city i'm
proven.eHts pending before that body. and
the men elected should hr business men of
experience. men OF good Judgment and
men who will eXpend the money of the cor
poration to the very best advantage. Just
Such men a this are f. T. Thomas of the
Serund. Charles t. Winters of the third. .
James \. Dicus of the fourth. F. z. Mast
of the fifth, William CUnklin of the sixth.
and Joseph II. Little of the eighth ward
Let every republican do his best work
now 10 secure the election of the entire
ticket put in nomination yesterday. The
republicans must not deceive themselves:
the nomination Of a ticket is not in every
instance equivalent To an election. In GER
