]. E. Frick writes the Herald as fol-
lows: Being solicited by some of my
friends to make the canvass in the COM
irg campaign for the Democratic nomi-
nation for the office of street superinten-
dent of this city, and having concluded
after careful consideration, to become
a candidate for the same, I desire to-
make known to the public that am not
at this time, nor have been for the past
| four or five months, engaged in the
| business of contracting with the city,
| and do not desire to be so engaged in the
| future"
The Southern Pacific has just issued
| the following bulletin to it's employees:
IAN employee, while discussing politics,
| in a moment of thoughtlessneU H. stated
! that the company was trying to force
| it's employees to vote for certain candi-
| dates, and that a certain employee had
| changed his views after being convinced
| that he had to do so to hold his position.
| On being called upon to produce the man
who had changed his views the en-
! ploye admitted that there was no such
| person and claimed that the language
| used by him was merely a joke. The
employee at fault has been severely rep
| rimanded. Such thoughtless remarks
| are likely to do harm, as they reflect ur>
on the company and upon the heads of
the department by whom the men are
! employed 1t is we'll known that the COM
| pany has no desire to coerce it's en-
| ployes."
1t is claimed that ex-Councilman Tom
Strohm and DR.. c. Edgar Smith are after
| the Republican nomination for council
| man from the Seventh ward, and that
either of them would be acceptable to
the water company.
The Salyer children will be at Col. I.
| C. Messmore's meeting at the wigwam
| tonight. The Bryan Silver Quartette
| will also make its initial appearance.
