FRED W. B0TT.
regular nominees of the two great par
ties are opposed by s0-called indepen-
dent candidate-a candidate who has
been put forw ard by the East Side syn
dictate. The object of this syndicate is
not public one. They want a repre-
sentative i'm the council for the purpose,
1t is alleged. of solely aiding them to
unload property on to the taxpayers at
an. enormous profit. The past record of
the syndicate is said to be an unsavory
one, of which the taxpayers on Dayt0n'S
bluff will hear more before the present
campaign is ended. The peoples fight
RgainSt the candidate of this soulless
corporation has devolved upon Fred
w. Bot, the Democratic NOM
inee, ana better choice it
would have been difficult to
aake. He is young man of excel
lent education, and has spent the main
portion of his life in this city, ard in
the Second ward. He is we'll and favor
ably known among the taxpayers, and
commands the confidence OF members
of his own-the German-na nationality.
But Mr. BOtt is not being solely backed
up in this fight by the German vote on
the bluff, although, by the way, it figures
prominently in the electoral roll OF the
support of all classes, creedS and nation
alities that are located in the east end
of this city. Republicans as well as
Democrats. The straight, manly fight
which he is making against the enemies
of the peeple-against representative
OF moneyed ariStOcrarcy-iS daily win
ming for him large number of votes.
He has pleased the taxpayers greatly
by his outSpOken declaration that if
elected he will not go to the council as
the representative of clique or as the
representative of a real estate gang, but
that he will 20 there as the representa-
tive of the people. 1t will be his en-
deavor to push forward the needed i'm
prOvementS required in. the Second
ward, and Will see that all sec
tons receive proper and adequate
attention from the authorities.
In the past only one section
of the Bluff has received attention, and
that section. needless to say. in the inn
mediate locality of the members of the
East side syndicate. Mr.. Bot has also
come out flat-footed in opposition to tile
unloading of real estate on to the peo-
pie, to fur ner the interests of any
clique, however influential from a
money point it may be. This is not the
first time that MIR. Bolt has been before
the citizens of the Second ward as a
candidate for a public position, In the
fall of 1888 he was the Democratic NOM
inee for the legislature. and, but
for the treachery of SO-called
Democrats, he would have
been elected. AS it was,
he was only defeated by very narrow
majority, the successful candidate being
the strongest one which the Republi-
cans could run. He will be successful
this time. The people are becoming
more enlightened to the tactics of the
syndicate; the uttefances of Mr.. Bot
are assuming more roseate hue every
day. The syndicate can only control a
few Democratic votes, and they are
largely those of dependents. These
votes, however. will be offset by the
large Republican vote which has been
promised Mr.. Bott Indeed. there is
some probability of the Republican call
didate retiring in his favor. The ward
could not have better representative.
He is well able to attend to the demands
of growing community. He has pro-
gresSive ideas, and in his keeping the
interests of the people would not suffer.
