MAYOR DORAN'S ADVICE.
Following the mayor and the mayor
elect was a committee of three, con-
sisting of Gen. J. B. Sanborn, Herman
Schnell and Otto Kueffner. Mayor
Doran introduced the new executive,
saying:
Ladies and gentlemen and members
Of the common council, 1 take great
pleasure in introducing to you A. r.
Kiefer."
Then turning to the mayor-elect,
Mayor Doran proceeded to make a
short speech in which he pointed with
pride to the record made by himself
in the past two years, and expressed
the hope that the coming administra-
ton would prove a success. His re-
marks addressed to the mayor-elect
were as follows:
Col. Kiefer. mayor-elect: You have been
elected to and are now to be installed in
most honorable office, for it Is, indeed,
proud distinction to be elected mayor of cur
capital city Of Minnesota.
You have been elected under most aus
picious circumstances and your induction into
your position by such an eventful display
indicates the pride your fellow citizens feel
in you and the confidence you inspire.
The office is honorable and carries with it
ries with it selfrelance and fortitude to
Withstand alike the attacks of opponents and
the opportunities Of friends.
1t is a position in which, by a careful study
of the requirements, you may more clearly
than others judge as to the right, and you
will thus be able to justify in time some acts
for which you will surely receive criticism.
But you are not inexperienced in matters
of public concern and your constituents have
faith in your ability to make what l know is
your desire to be st. Paul's best mayor.
l am glad to assure you that you have
with you honorable council, the maj ,rity
OF whom are their own successors, as reward
for their devotion to the public interest dur
ing the past two years.
The record of your predecessor is made and
OF it the people are left to Judge. 1t cannot
pardoned for alluding to with pride. and that
is, whatever of error may have been COM
mitted. no waste of the peoples money has
been permitted. No contributions have\been
levied and no special privileges enjoved\ Ny
any where it has come to my knowledge, Or
where my efforts could prevent i.
And now hoping your administration will
prove all the success you hope you will now
be invested with the office by taking the
oath prescribed therefor.
The address concluded Mayor Doran
admonished the mayor-elect to raise
his right hand, and this having been
done the oath of office was read in
short sentences by Mayor Doran and
repeated by the new executive
