Ticket VIII Have Very Little
Opposition.

The city campaign is becoming very &C
| tive in al the wards, but up 70 date prob
ably the iveliest is in the Fifth ward. J.
E. Tandy is the candidate in the Third
ward against J. Giles Smith. 1t is the
general opinion in the Third that the
| corpulent and classic J. Giles will be very
thoroughly walked upon by Mr.. Tandy
when the votes are counted. Mr.. Tan
day has been in the grocery business for
! several years on East Central. and is ac-
counted by hisg neighbors TO be just the
man for the council from the Third ward.
| He is industrious, active reliable, and
will win out without difficulty.
| Gerald Volk in the Sixth ward needs no
| introduction to the voters of the Sixth
ward or TO Wichita people. His keen in
| terest in public municipal affairs and his
untiring effort for the progress of the
city in different ways is a valuable com
mendation of his candidacy for council
man. He has for several years been man
| ager of the Kellogg Newspaper Union
| here, and is no less known for his
strictly honorable dealing than for his
activity in municipal progress. The
Sixth ward could not possibly do better
than to elect Gerald Volk to the coun-
| ell, and the voters will see to it that this
is done.
r. Z. Guthrie is we'll known in Wichita.
His recent good work for the city in the
matter Of investigating claims due from
the county is well known. He IS an old
resident of the best standing. He will
have practically no opposition as an hon
est and conscientious citizen conducting
a fair and square campaign.
! George Cubban, who runs a grocery
store on the corner of Eighteenth and
Lawrence, will serve the Fourth ward
faithfully as councilman. His character
| is above charge and he will be elected.
Ben. Mclean has been a member Of the
city council for the past four years. Dur
| ing his first year in Office he was chair
man of the lighting committee and sue
ceeded in reducing the expenses of the
city s., 500 a year. He has been a member
of the finance committee during his four
years in Office. two Of which hehas been
chairman of the committee. His careful
work and conscientious discharge OF duty
while upon that committee is known gen.
orally TO the people Of the entire city.
He IS at present chairman Of the public
| improvement COMMITTEE one of the most
/ important committees in the city council
| He is also president of the park COM
mission, and If elected will continue to
be president of that commission for the
next two years. He is thoroughly iden-
| tilted with the interests of the city and
| the ward he represents, and the time has
never occurred that he was unable to look
! after the interests of the Fifth ward.
! And taking into consideration his large
| experience in municiHS affairs. he will,
! # elected, be enabled - confer greater
| benefits upon the ward he represents than
any other man that could be selected at
! this time. His well known reputation for
| honesty and integrity Is such that no ac-
cusations have ever been made against
| him for any OF his official acts. The anx-
| iety manifested in securing Mr.. McLean's
return to the city council is not confined
alone to the ward ne represents: the
| councilmen OF other wards who have Ia
bored with him in the past. the people OF
other wards whom he has so ably and
! conscientiously represented, will all be
pleased to hear of his return to the coun-
! Gil.
