Miss MARY HUBBARD, Cor. Sec'y.
Capt. Frantz has made an excellent
city treasurer and certainly deserves re-
election. His administration of that office
has combined all the most desirable
traits. His Office is centrally located and
handy to reach. The Captain is always
there, courteous, obIiging and business
like, the books have been kept in good
shape and every penny accounted for.
There is no red tape about Capt Frantz's
Office. If you have business with HIM
you can always see him and be sure of
polite and careful attention BE careful
N marking your ballot that you mark the
Captains name for City Treasurer
1t would seem that Frank Mathews
would get tired of being City Clerk and
look for something higher. 1t does not
legitimately pay a very large salary and
is not naturally the ideal situation for a
man Of ambition and talent The fact
that he continues to seek it and hold it is
evidence that it satisfies him. On the
other hand the community would seem
to have given Frank life lease Of the Of
flee regardless Of the way he does his
work. We have heard great many COM
plants at various times about the way he
does his work, but no one seems to think
it worth while to say anything, as he has
his teeth fixed in his portion of the pub
lie cow and holds on with an iron jaw.
There is one popularity about Frank we
have always noticed very carefully. 1t
is this. He is q good Democrat and never
forgets his party friends The county
business is run for the benefit Of the tax
payers and the Board of Supervisors save
every dollar possible Every dollar Of
printing done for the county is let by bids.
A Republican printing committee gives
the Democratic papers the same chance to
bid on county work that the Republican
paper gets. But the city printing is not
|
let that way. Frank takes the city print
ing to Johnny and tells him to do it and
the city settles the bills Competition
cuts no figure in the city work To the
victors belong the spoils. That is prac-
teal politics according to Franks system
Of ethics. The people may be taxed five
per cent. to pay the bills, but that does
not alter the situation in the least There
has been altogether too much Of Tam
many's methods in the municipal admin
istration Of this city.
There was one of the pleasantest
gatherings Of Masons at Belle City lodge
room last evening that has been held in
the ely for long time The meeting to-
gether had no special significance. The
members Of Belle City invited some of
their brothers from Ken0sha and Union
Grove to spend the evening with them,
and they did so. The visiting guests
from Union Grove were met at the depot
by committee and taken to the Asby
house. The Kenosha delegation arrived
at Z o'clock and We're taken to the hall
The fore-part of the evening was spent in
Masonic work, which, being finished. an
elegant supper was served in the dining
hall, of which about hundred partook.
After supper followed cigars, and until
it came time to take trains the visitors
were Hospitality entertained by the MEM
bers of Belle City whose reputation for
Masonic hospitality was we'll sustained.
