Continued From First Page.

"a fair fight and no favor" is the
motto of the Democratic party in this
campaign. But the Republicans refuse
to fight in the open. The weapons they
prefer to use are those OF yelled inuendo
and abuse.

That bump Of self Importance will be
materially reduced in Col. Wright when
the polls close on Tuesday night.

The political pot is ''cissing" I'm the
Sixth ward. Aid. Melady is certain of
a reelection. His course in the alder
manic body has been eminently salts
factory to his constituents. which.
added to his undoubted popularity in
the ward. will give him rousing ma
jority az the polls Tuesday.

IL the Republicans can prove any
thing against the public reputation OF
Mayor Smith, now is the time for them
TO do 1t.
Il
Disgruntled officeseekers are not the
best political guides. Such men are
usually devoid of principle. They are
out for the lOayes and fishes, and be-
cause they are disappointed III their

of repIenishing their banking account
at the expense of the public treasury.

The one duty OF the patriotic citizen
today is TO register-that is, if he has
failed 10 do so. This is the last day.

There is one feature IL the Second
ward canvass that promoses 10 cut an
important figure. Zimmerman, the
Republican candidate, was placed in
the aIdernanic field by the influence of
the powerful East side syndicate The
animus is the proposed purchase OF
the plat for the Lincoln park site. The
syndicate would be heavily benefited
by the deal, and the aim is to get Mr..
Zimmerman into the council to perfect
ii. 1t is unnecessary TO add that the
sentiment of the overwhelming major
ity OF the citizens of the ward IS antag-
onistic TO the scheme, and therefore
there is no danger Of Aid. Bolts defeat
in any contingency. Aid. Bot is OPP
posed to the Lincoln park deal, but does
favor the Indian Mound project, and his
position is i'll sympathy with the popu-
lar temper.
So -
Col. Fred Wright, the silk-stocklng
candidate, declares he will turn out the
gang" if elected to the mayOrality.
Who will he turn cut? The mayor has
certain prerogatives, but it will be a
long time before they will become OPP
eratiye. The only man he could turn
out, should the city, through some mex
plicable misadyenture, be forced to sub
mt to his domination, would be Carson,
the mayors private secretary. Can 1t
be he that the aristocratic office seeker
is after?

w. A. Van Slyke should need no
word of commentator as citizen nor
as an officeholder in st. Paul. His rec
ord as a public servant is without
blemish. Untiring and ZealouSly he
has labored to promote the interests OF
the city, and even his political OppOn-
ents haven't the temerity TO assail his
integrity, else the condemnation OF an
indignant pOpulace would administer
summary and condign rebuke. Mr.. van
Sykes services are needed in The as
sembly. and the voters will see that he
is returned.

While it is an admitted fact that the
First ward is steadfast i'll supporting
the Republican ticket, there are mag
nificent reports from this stronghold of
enemies OF the administration. j. z.
Peterson, the candidate for alderman.
is making telling canvass. be is one
OF the most prominent business men OF
that part of the city, methodical and
practical. and John Copeland has awak-
ened to the conditions. A short time
before the nominating conventions, the
latter proclaimed the fancy that he
would be Endorsed by the Prohibition
lists, the cabal and the Democrats. But
Democratic conventions have no pen
chant for indersing candidates inimical
TO Democratic principles, and Mr.. Pc
terson was nominated. Mr.. Peterson IS
entitled to the unqualified support of
all his neighbOrs, for he will prove a
true and consistent exponent of the
best interests of the ward in the cOun
Gil.

One of the safest and most capable
financiers in st. Paul is Hon. Ansel OPP
penheim. He has proven an exceedingly
valuable member of all committees that
have had to deal with finance since his
advent in the council, and the city can
not afford to dispense with his services
at this time. A city of this magnitude
finds councImen of his wonderful
capacity indispensable. He grasps every
problem with lntuitive talent, and is
never found in error when it comes to
figures, and his keen Judgment in make
ing necessary estimates has been a
guiding star in the assembly.
Il
o. o. Cullen'S fearless and independ-
ent course in the couScil has won for
him the confidence of the citizens of the
Fourth ward. This is, i'll business
sense, the most important ward i'll the
city, and the merchants, jUbberS, manu-
facturers and business men have a
right to demand that the ward he cared
for by man of high calibre, and who
always has the courage of his convic-
tions. o. 0. Cullen will be re elected.
-E-
Aid Conley has been tested until 1t
will be difficult to find any man identi-
fed with the business interests and
prosperity OF the city who will not vote
for him in the Third ward. His course
has been straightforward and cannot be
questioned.
II
One of the most valuable officials is
Aid. C.. }. Dorniden. His career the
past two years has marked him man
OF unusual ability and business integ-
rity. When the interests Of'hiS cOnstit-
ents have been in issue he has battled
perSistently and courageousiy, and he
has secured needed Fifth ward improve
ments. The taxpayers have no reason
for specializing in uncertainties. Mr..
Dorniden's principles are recorded IN
the city council proceedings the past
two fiscal years. and they give satisfac-
ton to the ward.

Mark Costello is one of the oldest and
most stable business man of the city.
His conservatism is a potent protection
to the taxpayers of the city, and they
will give him the same general support
that they did two years ago. There is
no question of his re-election-it is orhr
a question of plurality. The Democratic
convention appreciated this fact when
they gave him denomination week
ago.
