attacks on the character of any of the
candidates, but goodness. what a tear
ing up there will be on public issues.
Ell PasO is now on the forward move
and if public improvements are not
kept breast of individual enter prise
then the town will naturally 90 back
wards and improvements will stop. 1t
behOOveS every workingman in the city
to look well to his own interests. Would
they like to see the many new buildings
now going up finished and then have
the work stopped, or do they want to
see the work go merrily OF? The re
publicans have put up Il progressive
ticket ard think little of who shall be
appointed to the minor Offices. The
democrats have placed a ticket in the
field that is looking out for sslf interest
and the apDOi n tment of friends to office
Their whole fight will b. simply
scramble for Office and public patron
age, and in that party they promise
nothing in the way OF improvements.
| This campaign can be made one OF edu
carton a. the masses of the voters will
be reading and thinking people, and if
| the republi cans will conduct their cam
paign right they will pay little atten-
ton to the purchasable vote, but ap-
peal to the voters through their intel
| lect. There is much public improve
ment needed in Ell Paso to k ep apace
with the times, and every bit of work
done in that direction will help the
workinemau and keep private parties
| interested in continuing the improve
ment work now in progress.

The city of FL Paso is not so deeply
interested in who shall be the next
chief of police. the next CRY secretary
| or the next city attorney as they are in
a policy that will keep abreast of the
times with improvements and at the
same time keep the tax assessment
| down to a reasonable figure. The city
needs an administration that will look
| to its welfare and advancement, and
not an administration that have private
schemes to advance and personal
friends to put forward to feed at the
public trough.
A wave of water came down the river
| last Sunday and since then the river
has been gradually rising and the big
canal is full of water.
The ward heelers begin to think that
registration is a good thing in the
primaries. but a bad thing on election
day. However, no one but the ward
heeler's organ has made any talk about
not respecting the registration law.
Those little endorsing resolutions
