SHORT SNAPS.

Inc race Tor city attorney is be-
tween Kellar and Jones. Brer Minor
is not in it little bit.
Find out the candidate the EX-
press is for then vote for the other
fellow and you will be right."-Evcn-
ing Journal.
I'VE will treat you in the future as
we did in the past" says Mr.. Gala
CHAN. This is enough TO scare all
voters away.
The BARRIERS will not vote for Ferdy
because they say he has not shaved
off his whiskers for nearly quarter
Of century.
Ferdy should withdraw and save
himself from defeat-for the people
are going to vote for II. B. Johnson
for city treasurer.
"The camp followers of Judge Cal
laghan have familiar look. They
have been there before and the peO-
pie voted them out"
NOW 10 llt lllllt W liNh iONdi
May wear a smile and leer,
For candidates are round about,
That can set up the beer.
.
Geyer & Co., the accomplished
wheelrights, say they are prepared to
do first class job of putting in some
new spokes in those wheels in Ferdy's
head on Feb. Sth.
Ferdy does not want to spend
20 cents line to tell the people what
has become of the sinking fund. He
wants them to make a rush on the
National bank to. find out.
Whenever Bryan Callaghan takes a
pinch of snuff, the parasites, cuckoos
and henchmen swinging to his coat
tail forthwith sneeZe. He should
drive such vermin off."-Lantern.
THE Callaghan preamble recites
that municipal affairs are in such con-
dition as to excite apprehension True
oh. King, but who is largely respon-
sible for this grave state of affairs If
not the administration of Mayor Cal
laghanY
The charter governs all city officers
from the mayor downwards and the
duties of officers and modus operandi
of official business are clearly pre-
scribed therein. No officer should be
permitted to violate any of these wise
regulations.
If Ferdy will come out with the
whole truth. and nothing but the
truth. and tell, who received the ben
eft of the sinking fund and who got
the money, there is hardly any news
paper in the city that wouldn't let
him have space.
Bob Minor will probably not make
many speeches during this campaign;
if he does he is likely to be asked to
explain some of the speeches he. made
two years ago denouncing Callaghan'S
administration of city affairs as cor
rupt and extravagant
There is one admirable thing about
Col. Thomas candidacy for city treas
urer. He didn't worry about arrang-
ing a ticket. "-Evening Journal. Cor
rect. But you can bet Ferdy had to
put up the dough, and the boys are
going to pull his leg some more.
"The election of Callaghan means
the restoration of his hungry follow
ers to office, and of the methods and.
ways that marked his municipal ca
reer. The people know what were
those methods and ways too well to
require any freshening of their recol.
ections"-Lantern. Let go, Ferdy;
let go.
whatever become, of the $4,000
voted by the people during Mayor
Callaghan's administration for the
purchase of garbage furnaces? Were
the furnaces ever bought? Not that
anybody ever heard of Was the
money covered back into the city
treasury? That is Il question for
somebody to answer" Ferdy ought
to know.
IF the sinking fund, which was set
aside by law for the sole purpose of
redeeming the city bonds, was spent

the city charaer the question arises
if somebody is not responsible for it.
Who was mayor ut that time and
who was the city treasurer 1t were
Bryan and Ferdy.
Suppose the manager of a bank
where all the people kept their money
so mismanaged the affairs of the
bank as to bankrupt the concern and
the people lost all their money. Then
in about four years the same man
would say to the people. "Come on,
boys. deposit your money with me
again. 1 am going into the banking
