THE ALARM SOUNDED.

We are now on the eve of city
election, or rather primary which is
held for the purpose of putting out
men for the various offices to be
filled. We have a lot of good candi-
dates announced for the salaried
p lsitions but not a single one for
aldermen. There are four wards in
the city and eight alderman to lie
selected yet no one has come for
ward to offer for these positions.
The places must be filed and they
should be filled by the best men in
the city who are capable of legis-
lating for the good of our city. We
will admit there is nothing in hold
ing the Office with the exception of
working for the good and future of
our young and growing city and the
set of men who can go into office
and legislature its affairs in a man.
ner that will rebound to their
credit and that of the city will be
called blessed by all men. The City
Central Committee will meet at
TO o'clock Monday to complete the
ticket and the citizens of each ward
are requested to canvass among
themselves and pick out good m, n
and hand their names in to be
placed on the ticket. This is no
time to be lodging and saying 81
can't serve" or II will not qualify if
elected" it is time in our history
when all men should stand up and
say 81 will serve my city if elected
to the best of my ability and do all
| in my power to advance its interests.
