especially if Mr.. Montgomery should
| have the temerity to run for a third
| term. Aid Montgomery has served
| two consecutive terms in the board of
| aldermen. During those four years the
honesty Of his motives has never been
| questioned, but his constituents have
nevertheless been disappointed in him.
| They want to be represented by an ag-
| greSS1Ve, pushing, energetic alderman
| who will stand up and fight for them.
They have found Aid. Montgomery too
| mild, too negative, too innocuous. In
all justice to Aid. Montgomery, it must
| be conceded, however, that he has re-
corded conscientious mo- on every
| important measure proceeding from the
Democratic side Of the house, and vot-
| ed AYE" on all propositions emanat-
| ing from Aid. Markham. The staunch-
| est Republican must bow to Aid. Mont
| gcmery'S keen sense of partisanship.
But there are herpublic-spirited cit
zens in the Tenth ward who might get
| one more vote than the mysterious
| Montgomery-for mysterious and secre-
| tive the alderman ISL anything. For
instance, there is Alexander Adams, the
foreman of one of the city's leading
iron manufactures. Mr.. Adams is a
Democrat, but that is not crime in
the Tenth ward, if it is in the Seventh
Mr.. Adams is also a public-spirited
citizen, who has the interests of st.
Paul at heart as all other good citizens
have He is also a positive, energetic
man, who, if sent to the council, will
represent the Tenth ward in the true
sense Of the word. Mr.. Adams is a
likely candidate for alderman from
the Tenth"
Oar F. Reese and F. G. Stevens are
booked to address the Young Mems Re-
| publican club of the Second ward, who
will meet Monday evening, under the
auspices of the Second Ward Central
Republican club, at StutZman's hall, 727

Assemblyman Rear6on declares en-
phatically that he will not run against
