WHAT THEY DON'T LIKE,
And How They Would Have 1t Fixed
to Suit Themselves.

And How They Would Have 1t Fixed
to Suit Themselves.
Capt. Braden don't like the wet
weather on account of the stoppage in
building that city hall. But he don't
know how to fix it.
The school teachers don't like those
holes left i'm the school house yards by
the new park inspector, Joe Heller, in
which he intends to plant trees. Nor
do the parents of the boys. The holes
are all filled with water and mud and
at recess the boys push each other in
them and get home with muddy
clothes and cases of pneumonia. But
superintendent Smith can't fix it. He
has said so.
Geo. Dashiell:-I don't like to wade
IN the mud where the sidewalks
should be, on West Houston street.
How to fix it, don't know, unless it
is for the city to lay curbing and COM
pei the property owners to lay side
walks.
Mr.. Joseph Umschied:-What San
Antonio needs from the next election
is first class board of alderman.
That's the way would fix it.
That weather-vane on Soledad
street is shifting with the wind and
the Reform club doesn't like it.
Young Mems Reform club:-Yes,
we have had petitions out calling up
on Col. III. B. Andrews to run for
mayor, and we hope he will accept.
We don't like Callaghan's admins
tration.
Richard Hickey:-I am for the very
best man and think Col. Andrews is
that man.
Albert Devine:-I am in favor Of
either Mr.. French or Col. Andrews.
We want a good man.
A Contractor:-DotR Reform club was
sheeky. Der kids won't to deach dere
own faders vot they dond knows.
Amt it. French und Callaghan are
der only two men dot fights for der
mayor und French won't run unless he
got dot nominations. If he does run
den Callaghan knocks him down with
der solid German anti-prohibition
vote. dond think that Col. Andrews
stand any chance, if he would run,
vich was doubtful. Callaghan should
succeed because he has thousands of
tollars invested in der improvement
of der city, and der beeples should let
him finish der work. Dond it?
A City Employee: OF course the city
employees will, as rule, support Cal
laghan for mayor, but there are many
friends of French among them, and
French is the only man that the Cal
laghan clique fear. French has a
good negro and Mexican following
across the San Pedro, and will split
the administration influence there.
He will also carry nearly all the bet
ter element of the city, and is the
only Dan who can split the anti-pro-
hibition vote claimed for Callahan,
though he is not in favor with the
worst part, that section of our people.
| think and hope that French will be
the next mayor.
DR.. Adolph HerfF: L don't take
much stock in politics, but / think
Callaghan will be the next mayor.
DIR. Kingsley:-I am for any good
man to beat the present mayor, and if
l could select man, l would select
Col. Belknap as he is a good business
and progressive man.
S. NJ. Ragland, of the firm of Rag
land & Schachner-I want a good
progressive mayor and my choice is
Col. Belknap/ for think he could do
more for the city than any other man.
Walter Scott-"I am in favor of Cal
laghan," but he didn't say that con-
tractors usually went with the bosses.
