II
to be Represented on the Repub.
lican municipal ticket this year
were nominated by . convention
free from political tricks and
underground manenvering. They
will serve the people faithfully
and impartially. The rights OF
every citizen will be respected,
no matter what may be his creed,
nationality or color. The ticket
is one that will bring to the city
council men of experience in al
most every walk Of life.
For Mayor. Mr.. Gordon has
many qualities that recommend
him. He is fearless and energet-
ic. He believes in an orderly
town, a lawabiding town and has
an interest in the growth and
future Of our prosperous munici-
pality.
1t is fortunate indeed that Mr..
j. l. Alexander is SO situated
that as city clerk he can give his
full time to his duties, and if
elected will always be found at
his post Of duty. He made the
county an admirable sheriff, and
the manner in which he closed
up the vast complications of that
Office, marks him as q prudent
and safe business man. He is Q
christian gentleman in whom the
people can place their full con-
tidence. and he will take special
pride in the work that our city
will most assuredly assign tohim
that Of City Clerk.
Everybody knows George Isen-
hart. There are a score of Re-
publicans who would have made
good Chief of Police, but not
any better than Mr.. Isenhart.
He will be a firm but humane
officer. He will see to it that
the town is well policed and our
property and our homes afforded
that protection that should be
guaranteed to every resident.
For Superintendent of Streets
and Water Works Mr.. A. L.
jackson will be found not only
fully competent, but having had
an actual experience in similar
work he will be able to make
many valuable suggestions that
will save the town money and
improve our public thorough
fares. Mr.. jackson should re-
ceive a very large vote. and If
elected he will show the people
that their confidence was not
misplaced.
No TELEGRAM reader needs an
introduction to Capt. Jas. II.
Smith. He is known as q true
citizen, a loyal soldier and an
honest and careful official. He
has teen tried and never yet
was unfaithful to a public trust.
In the position of Collector and
Treasurer q man must thoroughly
know the town and the people.
Capt. Smith has this valuable
knowledge and must be elected.
A. S. Crisis for Assessor. We
have yet to hear of Uncle
Andy's' name mentioned except
in praise of his long life of hon.
orable business pursuits. He
has never been an otfice-seeker,
and as one of the Oldest and most
respected citizens he is entitled
to the very large majority he will
receive.
School Commissioner is indeed
a very important trust, but it is
safe in the hands of VIM. r. AL.
exander. No other man has held
this Office and given it more
time and attention than Mr.. AL
exander. He takes a laudable
pride in the advancement OF our
schools. With him his duties
are not done when q teacher has
been selected, for he continues to
visit the schools and observe their
progress from week to week.
Mark our position on the sub
| iect-Cl arksburg cannot afford
to turn down w. r. Alexander.
Let us glance at the makeup
Of the Council. They are men
