THE TIME TO SUBSCRIBE.

The old newspaper saying, nov is the

than at present. The times are SO full

Near to the Bryan residence is a
house occupied by a prominent popo-
crat and his wife. The popocrats wife
is warm supporter OF the republican
party and Mckinley. Only one picture

that OF the Major. The husband Is en-
thusiastic for the Boy. but Tor certain
reasons he doesn't exhibit any OF his
enthusiasm in the front window. file

There are thousands OF Bryan and
Mckinley pictures in the front windows
OF Lincoln residences. Again candor
compels US to record the fact that the
Mckinley pictures are greatly in the
majority. In one place that We have
noticed there is a marked preponder-
ance OF Bryan Autographs. That is

stroke of campaign zeal that is sure to

We refer to the ladies campaign
clubs" In this city are Ladies' Nc
Kinley clubs and Ladies' Bryan clubs,
and the female politician is ready to
grasp her skirt iu one hand and
iiambeau in the other and sally forth on
the slightest provocation. The McKin-
leyized and Organized new woman is as
intrepid as John Currie, as Jealous as
neal itself. Mud hath no terrors that
she dare not brave. publicity no horror
that she may not Withstand. She is
ready tn walk with muddy shoes in the
Rarish street, or meet Bud Lindsey in
his native lair. She has buckled on the
armor. and wherever John goes there
also will Mary go; whatever John does
that also will Mary do. 1t is certainly
convincing to see the women painting
the town. Politics, since it was elevated,

others, were quite lax and careless in
their methods OF conducting the prim.
aries.
Mr.. Copeland, however. does not feel
that the party has done him an injustice;
neither is he politically ambitious; but
he nurses a very ardent desire to demon
strate that he can be elected councilman
il he wishes.
It's possible, however, that Mr. Cope
land NAV be constrained to defer his
ambition until the expiration OF Finley's
term, whom, in the event Of his Cope
and's) success. his sense of qualification
would be more keen and appreciative.
The Second ward has 90 far produced
James Stevenson and Alex Jeies as con.
testants for j. d. Parksr's chair. 1t is
quite likely that other gentlemer will
appear to dispute the right OF these two
councilmanic aspirants, as they both
have large array of bitter and unre-
lenting political and personal enemies.
Alex Jetes would undoubtedly have
been appointed to fill the unexpired
term Of j. ID. Parker had Frank Ora
ham received the nomination for county
treasurer, as in that event, Mr.. Parker
would have been acting mayor. and
would have vacated his seat in the coun-
Gil. As it was, Mayor Graham's declina-
ton to run for county treasurer blocked
his contemplated plan.
The Third ward will have something
new and startling on the primary
board" next spring. For several years
past politics and factions in that section
have been all presided. Hereafter it
will be somewhat different. The moral
and substantial element Of the Third,
ever since the defeat of Herman last
spring, have begun to realize their
strength. and have determined that no
mere count outs" will 60 with them.
The gang" is now practically powerless
in that ward. This was indicated by
the election Of Charley Spears last
spring. when he was bitterly opposed by
the element which had been carrying
things with a high hand previous to
that time.
The significant feature of Mr.. Spears
campaign, and one which substantiates
the assertions above made, was that
Mr.. Spears did not announce himself as
a candidate for the council until about
ten days before the primaries, and af-
ter all the wires had been laid by Mr..
Herman and his friends for the latter
named gentleman. and when it was
thought no strength could rout him.
While X. s. Young. at the present
time councilman from the Third. con-
templates entering the mayoralty race,
aud consequently will not he candidate
for third term, there is goodly num-
Der Of clean and able men ready to as
sumo the duties of the Office Mr.. Young
has so ably discharged. While only a
few names have so far been mentioned
in connection with Mr.. You ng's seat in
the council, it is safe to predict that his
successor will be as honest and well
qualified as he has been, in spite of the
efforts OF well known few to keep fair
men out of Office.
In the Fourth ward matters will be
very much complicated. A. II. buttons

Office, and that he defeated two Of the
most prominent and astute politicians in
the ward, namely, DIR. Holyoke and DIR.
Graham.
While Mr.. Woodward has always
actively participated in politics, he. like
Mr. Webster, has never been q seeker
after political preferment. But. in &C
cord with many others OF our citizens,
he became alarmed at the city's finsn
cial condition and the impending
danger which further threatened it's
treasury, and he. too. decided to en-
ter the council, il possible. and become
a watch dog OF the city's interests, and
that he has been such is proven by the
numerous wise and economical measures
he has introduced and made laws,
II ones ward support portends any
thing. Mr.. Woodward is extremely &C
ceptable to the people Of the Sixth
ward. as the overwhelming vote they
gave him atsests. He is conservative.
capable and far seeing. Being heavy
taxpayer. he is deeply interested in
Lincoln's future.
That Mr.. Woodward is no novice in
politics lie evident. That his following,
especially the laboring men, is great
there is no doubt. The support he
would receive from the taxpayers and
from that class known as the moral
element" would also be large. That Mr..
Woodward's candidacy will infuse unus-
ual vigor and interest in the campaign
is foregone conclusion.
And then there is the red oubtabie
and energetic George j. WOode, who, a
year ago conducted one Of the most
remarkable campaigns ever fought in this
city, in an effort to capture the honor he
now seeks. George Woo 1s needs no in
PRODUCTION or commentator here. He
has, and always will have, a host Of
admiring friends, and when he enters
campaign and means it the opposition
knows what to expect. He is stalwart
from the ground up, his record is clear,
and it is not unreasonable to suppose
that he might be successful in his second
attempt to ascend to the mayors chair
The candidacy OF John p. Maule is
looked upon by some with suspicion.
Not because Mr.. Maule would not enjoy
the honor and prerogatives OF the Office
of mayor is this feeling of distrust pre-
dominant in the minds of some Of his
friends, but the impression that he is
running for purpose other than bis
own election. induces it. just how much
foundation exists upon which to base
such an opinion is not known. but il is
surmised that some recent actions on
the part of Mr. Maule have given rise
to this idea.
II Mr.. Maule succeeds in Graduating
this view Of his candidacy he will put
up fight second to none in aggressive
ness and intensity. Having par
ticipated in politics practically all his
life, what he does not know about its
ms and outs isn't OF much value. He
not only possesses the appearance Of
Statesman. blu. has a mein in perfect
harmony with his looks. As speaker
he is eloquent, forcible and convincing.
AS political opponent he is verify IAN
ugly customer"
II is not presumed that j. d. Parker,
r. S. Young or Barr Parker will cut any
perceptible amount OF ice in that fight,
though it must be admitted that ap-

POLITICAL POINTS.
THE MAYORALTY SCRAP.

The contest for the honors Of mayor
for the next term OF Office may
be said to be now virtually on. The
several republican candidates, while
they are assiduously laboring for Nc
Kinley and Hobart, which, in substance.
means the entire republican ticket. do
not permit ghost Of an opportunity to
pass them without doing little mis-
sionary work on their own account.
Quiet little" schemes are being Matched
by the would-like to be mayors and
their confidential friends; divers shaped
wedges" are being driven with but .
muffled sound, and endless wires have
already enconpassed numerous polit-
ical influences.
The candidates for this very import
ant and highly esteemed Office have not
all been named as yet by any means,
and the more prominent the names which
are n entioned in regard to the mayor
atty Office the more exciting and inter.
esting the contest becomes.
So far the aspirants FOR the Office OF
city executive have been tame and good
natured. No arrogance nor luminosity
has been permitted to crop out. and un-
der such conditions-which are unusual
in political campaigns-even a casual
observer. while he cannot even imagine
who will be the victor in this strife. can
not resist the opportunity OF speculat-
ing on the visible power of some OF the
candidates, even il he speculates but
little.
Mayor Graham probably intends to
succeed himself. Possession is nine
points Of the law. In many respects he
has made an admirable mayor, for
which ress IN he will be stronger can
didate than he was TWO years ago.
Another man who will stir the ''ani
mails" up to the highest pitch is o. W
Webster, who was re elected to the
council last spring without opposition
he having consented to be returned to
the council only upon the most arrest
solicitations Of the taxpayers from bis
ward. Mr.. Webster is not politically
ambitious; in fact, he is just the reverse.
But he does believe that this city has
never been blessed with administrations
which practiced economy to the extent
that was possible and practical.
As "financier, economist and leader of
the council" Mr.. Webster has made a
lasting reputation. His constituency
is not confined to any one class Of men;
he is popular with all who know him,
especially with the taxpayers. Aside from
being shrewa and profound thinker,
keen financier and a prosper
GUS and prominent business man, Mr..
Webster can with pride PORT to spot
lees and brilliant record. Mr.. Webster
has also q moral standing which will
not be overlooked, yet he is liberal in
all his dealings with the social questions
which confront US.
The strength of Mr.. Webster is mani.
fest. At present he has an excellent
chance Of euccess.
1t will be some time before Sixth
warders will forget the memorable can
vass made by Mr.. W. A. Woodward last

and 10 the event Of Mr.. Webster's cleo
ton to the mayors chair. there will be
an additional vacancy to be filled in the
council, which. as a matter of course,
would be filled by appointment.
Mr.. Hutton's political fences are not
in as perfect and convenient shape as
he could have kept them had he been
less ambitious and more conservative.
While there may be nothing to be said
against Mr.. Hutton's integrity as an
official, his record does not even ap-
proach that made by his CO. worker and
colleague, MIR. Webster. though Mr..
Hutton may have accomplished that
which came within his range and power
with all the ardor at his command.
