THE NOMINEES.
That the convention succeeded in
naming a ticket III every way worthy
OF general support is beyond dis
pute. For the position of mayor
perhaps non. Of cur citizens are bet
ter qualified than j. T. Moak, whose
long experience in the public affairs of
the city well fits him to serve the peo-
pie lii any of the Offices. His record
as public servant is clean and able,
and be has repeatedly shown his value
to the taxpayers. 1t is foregone con-
clusion that he would well guard their
interests if placed at the head of the
municipal government.
w. F. Gruetzmacher, the nominee
for treasurer, is gentleman with capa-
bilities to fulfill in every particular the
requirements of those who demand
business men as the administrators of
public office. Mr. Gruetzmacher is a
business man in every sense of the
word active, able, industrious, sue
cessful-valued and honored in the
commercial world, upright and good
citizen. He has never sought the
nomination for any office, and it was
OnIU hoS Of hot h.
was induced to enter the field Time
after time he has refused to run for
city Office and as alderman in bis ward.
This Is his first appearance in politics,
and if elected it may be safely assumed
that he will honestly and efficiently
discharge the duties of the important
position.
The candidate for assessor, Charles
A. Gamm, is one of the younger genera
tlon Of our business men, and has al
ready met with considerable success in
life. He is conscientious, industrious
and progressive, and thoroughly capa-
BILE to render fair and honest assess
ment of the city's property. Mr..
Gamm's nomination is IN every way
case of 'the Office seeking the man."
