FOR MAYOR.
Geo. LaFOnd-a Man Who Would Look
After the Best Interests
=. Of the City.
From Tuesdays Daily.

/ -
| If the people of Little Falls could
add to the honor or prosperity of
Judge Richardson by re-electing him
mayor for the fourth time, the feeling
toward his present canvass would
be quite different. He. has had the
honor of the Office and the satisfac-
tion of repeated endorsements, and
it would seem reasonable that he
fwOuld some time come to the con-
clusion that some other citizen might
possess the ability to act as the ex-
ecutive head Of the city government.
Little Falls has elected no other
mayor since the adoption of the
charter, and we think it is about
time to pass around the responsible
ity as we'll as the honor. If Little
Falls has only one man fit for the
office the fact should be developed at
once, and the only way to do SO is to
test some other material.
1t is not appropriate, desirable or
reasonable to attack Mayor Rich
ardsOn's long administration as
mayor, but we do believe that no
harm will result from change, and
| that his opponent in this campaign,
Mr.. George Lafond. is in all ways
qualified for the Off &C. He is a ma
tive of Little Falls and.has built up
prosperous business here, securing
the confidence and esteem OF the peo-
| pie OF the city. He is Just the one to
lead such campaign as may be ne
cessary to defeat one who has such
clinging qualities as his opponent.
George is aggressive and persevering
and when he once starts he doesn't
make any pretension of leaving his
campaign entirely in the hands of his
friends.
AS q matter of fact, it required a
large amount of urging to induce
him to enter the race, and the sourc-
es OF the pledged support were very
f1attering to him, regardless of the
result that will follow. The Trans
script was not aware that he even
contemplated entering the race un-
til he had decided the matter. but
when he announced that he would
run this paper deemed it proper to
support him. and we believe that no
interest in the city will suffer by his
election. He can certainly bring as
good business ability to the service
of the city as it has yet enjoyed. and
tl.at consideration is one OF the most
important.
