LIKES THE NEXT TREASURER

In the announcemnt column will be
found the name of Mr.. T. Il. Johnson
as a candidate for city treasurer. We
have known Mr.. Johnson for number
of years, have had dealings with him,
and know him to be a straight man.
If he is elected to the office to which he
aspires, we feel satisfied that the peo-
pies money will be in safe hands. Mr..
Johnson demonstrated his ability as a
business man when he took the Light
as a leaflet and made it what it is to-
day. the leading evening paper in the
state. 1t takes a competent bust
ness man to fill the office of city treas
urer, one who has the ability to per-
form the duties of the office. In Mr..
johnson we have the man. If elected
he will treat all alike, and see to it that
the peoples money is paid out only on
legally issued warrants. Mr.. Johnson
solicits the colored vote, and will no
doubt receive it on the Sth of Februa-
ry."-Alamo City Advance.

MIR. ELMENDORF.


Mayor Elmendorf has formally
accepted call to again become can
didate for mayor. The people are
confronted with a mixed situation by
the presence of, four candidates for
mayor, Elmendorf, Levy, Callaghan
and Newcomb, Three Of these candi-
dates have made up tickets and cam
paign funds; Newcomb will run with
out ticket and have some good
company with him.
Mr.. Eelmendorf naturally wants to
continue in office in order that he
may round off his public career in
creditable manner; he fell heir to the
sewer enterprise and has had trou-
blesome experience, but in spite of all
adverse criticism the sewers have
been pushed to a close completion
and when finished will be the most
valuable and really great public en-
terprise undertaken by the city, and
one that will last far beyond the lives
of all our inhabitants and be bless
ing to our city. Mr.. Elmendorfs
greatest fault, and for which he has
suffered in reputation, has been that
he allowed himself to be influenced
in his management of city affairs by
bad advisers, who made him believe
that the way to succeed in politics
was to keep up a great machine to be
handled in elections: he has experience
ed what might have been expected
desertion on the part of those who
think him too weak to be reelected:
these assertions have caused series
of attacks upon his administration.
Mr.. Elmendorf has had many diff
cultieS to contend with, but had he
and his council boldly cut down the
city expenses to bring them within
the possible income, they might have
destroyed the machine but would
have held the confidence of the peo-
pie. Mr.. ElmendOrf evidently be
lieves that it is within his power IL
elected TO justify the confidence of
the people in making a thorough
change in the policy of the city gov
eminent. He wants to complete the
sewers, and put them in operation
and thus secure to the people the val
liable concession secured by the late
| Mayor Paschal from the WaterwOrkS
company. to-wit: the free water for
| the sewers, before some unfriendly
administration is allowed to step In
and interfere. Some OF the anti-sew-
or talk is backed by sinister motives
and the people are in danger OF having
this great enterprise crippled just
when its success is in yiew.-Nationai

1t is wonderful what means are
employed by the Breckenridge bank

POLITICAL GRAPE SHOT.
I'M the Weekly Lantern.1

From the Weekly Lantern:]
And now comes Gus. Duerler and
Ben Mauerman and pose as candidates
for alderman at large, espousing the
cause of Mr.. Callaghan, whom they
denounced but few short years ago
as an autocrat, unfit to be mayor OF
our city. Oh, Shame, where is thy
blush:
Well there is one redceming trait in
Mr.. Callaghan's makeup, and that
is. he sticks to his friends. The wa
ter god and the lightning bug being
among his warmest friends, he will
surely stay with them. And it is on
" natural that he should.
But why don't Mr.. Callaghan come
out in the open and tell the people
why he made that egregious blunder
in the Grandjean property on st. Ma
RVS street. causing loss to the tax
payers of nearly $4,000?
Why don't he come out in the open
and tell the people what has become
of the $4,000 appropriated for gar
bage furnaces?
Why don't he come out in the open
and tell the people what he has done
with the 100000 that was collected
for the sinking fund?
Why don't he come out in the open
and tell the people why he spent
hundred thousand dollars more year
than the budget provided for?
And why don't he frankly admit
that he has said. Damn the Dutch,
and must damn the people in the in-
tereSt of the corporations, if elected.
for he cannot serve two masters:

for Bryan Callaghan for mayor and the
non-partisan ticket. I deem the sue

more available as a candidate for city
attorney than was, 1 cheeTfully ac-

RAFTING THE GERMANS.

THE bible says the fowler setteth
not his snare in sight of the bird,
but Callaghan sets his net to eaten
the German vote directly in sight OF
the Germans. He believes the Ger
mans will vote for him, because he
has sugar-coated his ticket by piac-
ing Germans on it. at every turn, but
the trick of the politician is too trans
narpnt to humbug and delude German
citizens so far as to cause them to
forget that they had good grounds
for voting against him in 1895, and
that the very same grounds exist to-
day. The trick will not win."-Weekly

CAMPAIGN ECHOES.
For the Daily Light.
Judge Callaghan did finally make
an attempt to answer Mr.. Levy, but
the results were such that even Judge
Callaghan's opponents feel sorry for
him.
1t is said Judge Callaghan was
heard to remark ut the Bryan recep-
ton. 81 wish l had him in my cam
paign," forgetting that even with
Bryan's eloquence Judge Callaghan
could not offset Mr.. Lewy's statement
of facts.
Mr.. Levy has made many of his
earnest convincing talks to the voters
in different parts of the city and his
persistent effort to keep the attention
of the people fixed upon municipal
conditions and not upon personalities
is daily making him more votes.
Henry Elmendorf is in more senses
than one in the hands of his friends.
They are now kicking about the
heavy load they are carrying
Mayor Elmendorf appears inclined
to steal his thunder from the previous
administration. If he, had only car
ried out the plans laid by the late
Mr.. Paschal, who was assisted by
Mr. Levy as city attorney the peo-
pie would have less cause for COM
plant.
The EImendorf review of the FL
mendorf ticket is sufficiently full or
taffy to satisfy the heaviest contrib
utor to the ElmendOrf campaign
fund.

kinds of people to stand upon. IL

Mr.. Levy is so constructed as to

A mass meeting of those promised

lNTOXlCATION NO EXCUSE.

Not long ago a judge in one OF
the western communities held
that when a man deliberately
filled himself with liquor until he
lost control of himself he was leg.
ally responsible for whatever he
did while he Was intoxicated. We
do not know whether this is good
law or not, but it is good sense.
Any other rule would make it
too easy for criminals to escape
punishment. A burglar might
plead that he was intoxicated
when he robbed a house, or a
murderer might plead that he
was mad from drink when he
killed a man; but such an excuse
would not restore the dead to
life nor would it protect the com
munity from a repetition of the
crime. lntox.cation may some
