w. A~~NS
have been struck with The Alert's
claim that there is no question Of party
politics in the coming election for mayor
and I ask this space in your columns to
call the attention of other women OF
jamestown to this fact
This Is NOT campaign IN which a
candidates party, policy, even ability
questions usually of paramount import
ance-ought to be considered. Bailey
Fuller has kept himself 80 long before
the eyes of our voters, that many Of
them have become calloused to facts
that at one time shocked them, with the
result that they are capable of being in
huenced by minor considerations Of policy
prejudice, or so called benefits to the
city, which it is claimed that his admin
istration would bring.
This Is a campaign, on the other
hand, in which open immortality is max
ing brazen demand upon us not only
for our toleratlon, but for our support.
The women of Jamestown have no rea-
son for being calloused to the facts IN
the case, as have the men. They are
therefore better able to see the large
truth, that no real prosperity, but rather
lasting injury. will come to US if we de-.
clare ourselves alders and abettors Of
immortality, indifferent to social purity.
What is the conclusion of the matter?
That every woman in Jamestown. with
out regard TO creed, inclination or
station, is called upon to take an effec-
tual interest in this election. II We
have those among US who scoff at the
dictates of morality and who violate the
laws OF social purity, shall we exalt them
to influential positions in sight Of our
homes and families? Because they insult
us and our good name and fame by
insolently demanding it, shall we confess
to the world that 1t is such men whom
We delight to honor? Rather let us cry
in shame as David of old: "Tell it not
in Gath, publish il not in the streets of
Askelon; lest the daughters Of the Phil
istines rejoice"

MADE A GOOD MAYOR.
Mr.. Eager Deserving of an En-
dorsement for a Satisfac-
tory Administration.
Some Additional Reasons Why
Fuller Does Not Deserve
To Be Elected.

People are generally we'll pleased with
the business.like manner in which
Mayor Eager has conducted the police
matters of the city. For this alone
many think he deserves endorsement.
Chief Dewey has been one of the best
officers We ever hsd-fearless. careful
and reliable. It is no small task to
keep order and to keep in check the de-
predatlons of the tramp element, which
overruns these towns in summer. The
worst characters of the cities are driven
here, and lives aud property of persons
are never safe unless the town has
gained the reputation of maintaining
strict order and Furnishing Soffenders
promptly. This Mr.. Eager and his as
slstants did last year to the general sat-
isfactlon of the residents. This season
promises to bring more tramps than
ever before, in fact, they are already
thronging into the country in greater
numbere than ever before at this time,
and it will take extra good policemen
and special attention on the part of the
city council and mayor to handle this
part OF the towns business. If Mayor
Eagar is retained the people will have
assurances of salty and close attention
to this part of the city administration
as we'll as Others

DoDcINc IT..
Fuller Trying to Divert Atten-
ton from Himself.

Az reply to The Alerts statements
regard,IkMr:: Fuifer'6 political conduct
J. G. Warnock, under the guise ol
"Voter" in the Capital Thursday ,devotes
column to personal references about the
editor Ut this paper.
This is not the question and is no ar
gument. The question is are the charges
and statements about Fuller true OF
are they false? 1t is no answer to abuse
somebody else and ignore them.
The Alert stated that Bailey Fuller
was not good republican, such as tc
lay claim to republican votes on tina,
ground, and showed by his political
record that he had no ground for such
claim. The only reply made by him is
personal abuse of the editor of the paper
as an individual: This kind of reply
is no reply at all. The Alert is not a
candidate for any Office The public ls
not interested IN the editor, or concerned
whether he practices the virtues or
vices. 1t is Bailey Fuller who is the
candidate before the public asking for
your votes. Keep your eye on that
point. All such attempts as appear in
the Capital to divert attention from
Bailey and his methods and his record
to something else, or to somebody else,
are printed there for that special
purpose. Remember it is Bailey Fuller
who is the constant candidate, not the
voter who IS roasted" by the Capital by
Fuller's orders. If the press shows him
up as unworthy for the Office, don't let
any cheap attempt to talk on other sub
jects or about some other man attract
attention from him. He is the candi-
date. He is the man to be discussed.
The Alert made no reference to Sheriff
Eddy that could reflect on his official
character. Neither was any reference
made to ex.Msyor Halstesd. By bring
ing these parties before the public the
Capital hopes to turn attention from
Fuller, to others; hopes to create a
prejudice among those who are in no
way connected with Fuller's past
record. 1t ls the aim of Fuller to fool
the people again. to throw dust in the
eyes of the voters, to draw their stten-
tion away from himself in order that his
private and political career may not be

to cast reflection on the asylum man

be expected that no regard for truth

to cast reflection ON the management
Of the hospital, but the facts are that
while q number of the employees will

Morality or immortality.

Which shall it be? That 1t should
even be question in CHRISTIAN com-
munity is q paradox. 1t would be a
most unnatural husband, father or
brother who would permit the sanctity
of home to be invaded; then why i'm
peril the morality OF an entire CON-
munity by acquiescence in the election
OF corrupt officials? A mans conscience
should be as sensitive for his neighbor
az for himself. The civic conscience
should be quickened to the extent that
the citizen, in his relations to munich
pality and to the state should do his
whole duty--agRressively, jealous OF
their honor and reputation.
Every good citizen of jamestown
man or woman-must work with a will
for good government, for the exaltation
to Office Of pure men, against whom there
10 no breath of scandal, or sooner or later
he will pay dearly for his apathy or care
lessness in the contamination Of his own
precious household. A noted writer has
said, "Sin is never at stay; if we do
not retreat from it We shall advance IN
it; and the farther on We 60, the more
We have to come back"

A Wild Bluff.

The statement that Fuller will carry
the city by $50 majority, made in his
paper the Capital, Tuesdays the widest
bumcom be-Mr. Eager is gaming votes
every day and the outlook now is, that
he will be the next mayor by handsome
majority. Residents realize what 1t
means to the town to again elect such
man as Mr.. Fuller who wants the Office
for third time for his own personal ad-
vantages. Mr.. Eager has made good
mayor. He has put the streets IN the
best condition they ever were, and gave
q large number of workmen employ
ment last summer. He has won the re-
spect and confidence of Fuller's support
ers as we'll as his own. From his past
record it is easy to decide what his
policy will be in the future. His ad-
ministratlon has been 80 clean that no
man can raise word against it. The
silly objections to him on the grounds
OF politics are simply lueged in because
nothing else can be found, and are too
insignificant for sensible men to con-
slider seriously. Every man knows that
there Is no politics involved IN this city
election, except on the part Of Fuller.
who is beseeching republicans to vote
for him because he claims to be repub-
licsn.
Fuller's supporters are making the
play that If be is elected mayor the town
will be run wide open. This means that
gambling establishments, and low
dives, to fleece the laboring man, and to
encourage all sorts Of disturbances will
flourish. jamestown people who are IN
favor Of law and order must bear this in
mind.

Must Judge by the Record.

Mr.. Fuller became an aspirant for
public Office IN 1889, and has been before
the people seeking Office ever since, and
is again asking for further preferment.
It would be strange indeed. if during
the six years of official conduct, Mr.
Fuller we're not in position to do some
act that was worthy of commendation
If accomplished, and which the people of
the community who elected him, would
expect of any man. When Mr.. Fuller
was first elected it was supposed that he
possessed the ability and the inclination
to benefit tho community he represent
ed, but experience has shown otherwise.
It has shown that be has used his official
position solely for his own personal
benefit, and not for the benefit of the
state or the community whom he has
represented. The people know enough
OF Fuller's record, to be satisfied that
he is not the man to fill public offices
which are for him private snap. He
has been weighed IN the balance and
found wanting"
A good many railroad men who own
property here, and are strongly inter-
ested IN Keeping up the good name of
the city abroad, are coming to the sup
port of Mr.. Eager. Every man who is
a property owner and taxpayer is per-
sonally interested in keeping clean
city administration and securing every
favorable comment possible for James.
town abroad. Investors are frequently
attracted towards a town where the
record OF good government prevails.
Nothing will more quickly decide per-
son looking for an investment or place
of residence for family, than a town
that has acquired the reputation of being
in the control of the wide open element.
