Republican Principles At Stake.

Every reason that can be put forward in
favor of Mayor Leighton's candidacy applies
with equal force to Mr.. Milhken's candidacy,
and there are many additional reasons why
Mr.. Milliken should be elected. The New
Age rays: "Mt. Milliken is popular young
bueiness man Of undouhted ability"
And NO one of the Democratic party
in this city can say but what he will make
just as good mayor as Mr.. Leighton.
There isn't an intelligent Republican look
ing back on the years record but will say
be will make 4 better mayor. Mr..
Milliken, limself, will be the mayer
and that is what the people want.
But, if there we're no differences in the re-
spective merits of the two candidates for
the position, none the less should every Re-
pub lean, who believes in Republican prir :
ciples, which have never since the war sig

The chameleon, which in it's live state has

The sword will keep its popularity for the
