Mr.. Heard, formerly Of Heard, Biber &
Easton-I have known Mr.. Gourley for
some time, and I expect to give him my
vote. I consider him eminently qualified
for the place.
Mr.. James Loughridge, No. 623 Smith
field street, am not politician, and take
no active part in anything of a political
character, but I have been a close observer
of Mr.. Gourley and I consider him q very
competent man. In fact he is as good
man as know for the Office. He is as good
as can be found. 1 am Republican and
seldom leave the ranks, except to avoid
bad man. I expect know Mr.. Gourley
better than he knows me, as he is public
man, and it is just for that reason that ex-
pect to give him my support.

Gourley Mayor. He is man of ability and
integrity, and if elected will undoubtedly
conduct an able administration. Our per-

friendly, and 1 will cheerfully accord him
hearty support. He has worked hard and
faithfully through many years for the inter-
ests of the city as President of Select Coun-
ell, without a cent of compensation, and
now consider that he is entitled to the first
Office he ever asked for to which there is a
salary attached. Twill be only too glad to
accord Mr.. Gourley my humble support,
and will do all 1 can to get my friends to
support him.
Senator John G. Newmyer-I know Mr..
Gourley's character as business man better
than as politician, and in that respect it is
A No. 1. think the same is true of him as
a politician. If his taking part in muni-
cipal affairs is crime, then suppose he is
guilty, but don't think his honor or in
tegrity has ever been impeached. think it
would be better if more men like Mr.. Gour-
ley would give more attention to municipal
affairs instead of standing aloof and gazing
with suspicion on those who have to do the
burden of the work.
Senator W. F. AulI, of the Denny estate

respectable, honest and Intelligent, and will
make an excellent record if elected. Person.
