THE WARD NOMINEES
MEN WHO ARE SEEKING OFFICES
3 ON THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.
ALL SHOULD BE ELECTED
Many of the Men Named by SHE Party
Have Seen Former Service in the Coun-
Gil Room and in other cttys and
County Ofaces.

Now that the two parties have their
tickets in the field people are beginning
to ask who the candidates for the
different ward Offices are.
The nominees on the Republican
ticket are all we'll known to the rank
and file of the party as good and capable
men and every one of them should be
elected.
Otis L. Trenary, the nominee of the
party for alderman for the short term
in the First ward, is known to every
voter in the ward. He has lived here
for several years and has always been
interested in the eity's welfare. He
has never held public Coffee, but
straight and honest he promises to
make an excellent officialin the position
of alderman.
Edward Hollister, the well known
Main street druggist, who is in the race
for the long term in the First ward, is
a winner. He counts his friends by the
hundreds and his position on all
questions of the pubic veal is too we'll
known to need any further comment.
If elected Mr.. Hollister will make one
of the strongest mem bers of the Council.
John Sershon, who has been placed
in nomination for the Office of alderman
in the Second ward, is representative
of the great army of lab0ring men OF
the city. He has always been interest
ed in the cause Of labor and was one of
the charter mem bers Of the Transfers
union. He will make a strong run and
his election will assure the citizens of
the Second ward an honest representa-
tive in the Council.
In the Third ward the Republican
ticket for aldermen could not be
stronger. John Priddis is the nominee
for the short term and his official record
as a representative of the ward in the
Council in years past is the best
recommendation he could have to
secure the votes Of the people. Mr..
Priddis is a representative Of the rank
and file. He has never been an office
seeker and his nomination was the
action of his friends, who consider him
the best man in the ward for the
position. j. d. Harff, the other
candidate of the Republicans in this
ward, is known as one of the war
horses of the, party and there are few
men who have done so much for the
advancement of the city's best inter ests
as Mr.. Harff. He is we'll liked by all
regardless of party alliance. He has
had some connection with the admin
istration of local affairs, both as a
member of the Board of Education and
the County Board, and the duties of the
Offices were always regarded to be as
important as his own private business.
For the interest of the Third ward and
its citizens Mr.. Harff should and will
be elected.
The candidate for alderman in the
Fourth ward is new man in the
political arena, but before the cam
paign is over all the city will know who
| Frank Nelson is. He has resided in
the ward many years and holds high
place among the Swedish American
/ citizens. He has never held public
office, but has always showed lively
interest IN the political struggles of the
parties. In comparative short time
with rare business instinct he has built
up a large business and he is worthy
and capable and should be elected.
Harry Whitbeck, the nominee fer
alderman in the Fifth ward, is Keno
sha boy from the ground up.
He belongs to one of the best fam
| lilies in the CITY, and his many friends
| will see to it that he is the new alder
