The new Woodward Clothing Co.'s con-
Germ is a "daisy" and their splendid store
rooms in the Bruning block would be
credit to any city.
Gentle spring has made her timely ap-
proach and the lake cities can look
eagerly forward to the opening OF navl-
cation and a genuine aud healthy re-
vival of business.
Mr.. John Coleman. secretary OF the
Turley Mercantile company, is the reg
ular Democratic nominee for alderman IN
the Fourth ward. His election is all but
assured, and it will follow that "bloody'
fourth will be we'll represented in the
council. ..
The political situation engrosses and
oyerwhelms all other news and the ar Is
saturated with political vapors rising
from the smoking headquarters OF the
rival camps. Noonan, Matchette aud
Scott are the nominees before the people
for the office of mayor.
An enormous increase in population is
| demonstrated by the large registration.
Nearly 1000 names appear on the poll
list. Duluth may we'll look to her laurels,
or the strapping young giant on the Wis
consin side will sail proudly by the city
on the s'Beetling Cliffs"
John W. Scott is the nominee OF the
Republican party for mayor. He showed
considerable ability as an organizer IN
defeating the gang" at the convention,
but on Monday night last it appeared
that the so-called love-feast in which the
Republicans we're supposed to be indulg-
ing was violently terminated by the an
nouncemert that Frank Matchette was
running independent. Alas for the q.
0. p. in Superior, we are afraid that they
cannot hold the city for the national
campaign.
Unity and confidence prevails at this
writing in the Democratic camp. At the
lconvention on Saturday last MFR. David
Dobie received the nomination for mayor
after bitter fight from the other wing
Of the Superior Democracy. Immedi-
ate1y upon being rendered the unani-
lmous nomination he declined TO run.
His resignation at that late hour threw
CONSERVATION in the ranks OF the Dem
ocracy. An adjournment was taken until
after supper and after forty ballots the
name { William Noonan was presented
to the convention as man who had been
identified with no factions whatever. He
received the unanimous nomination and
he has been Endorsed by the labor organ.
izations of the city. Both factions of the
hitherto divided Democracy are now
working harmoniously, and the outlook
for MIR. Noonan's election is exceedingly
bright. A short sketch of the life OF onr
next mayor may not be uninteresting to
the readers of the STANDARD. He was
born in Ontario, Canada, and moved first
to Chicago and then to Winona where he
is widely known and respected. He came
to Superior in the year 1887, and has
since been engaged as building con.
tractor. He built the West Superior
Hotel and many Of the great business
blocks that adorn our city. He is now in
the prime OF life and very popular with
all the business mon with whom he has
come ificontact, and also with the labor
ing element to which he has always been
constant friend. Both factions Of the
party have happily united on Mr.. Loud,
of the law firm of Loud &, OBrien, to
conduct Mr. Noonan's campaign to sue
cessful issue next Tuesday evening.
