A Communication.

Mr.. Editor Judging from reports,
that are in clrcultion about the street
the las, few days it will be for the in
terest of every voter in the city to see
that his name is on the check list before
Friday night. Don't be satisfied that
YOU know your name was on last years
check list because it is possible that
someone might take to the small anu
dirty trick of scratching the names OF
voters that possibly would by their vote
ask for change OF Mayorsh'p al neA'
