Perhaps you, have today no.
ticed, divers and many persons
wandering about the public high
ways, with their main entrances
distorted 30 as to express amuse-
meht, or entire satisfaction, with
tltssworld, these people, and there
sneslegions of them in Mo. Valley,
are what are often spoken of es
democratic. Some would-be poll
tical bosses were wont to say last
fall, that so far as democracy was
concerned, the only traces of it
wass.in the primeval forests Of
the politicnl world, but from ex.
ceedingly, very recent develop
ments, they are modern in all re-
speets.
Yesterdays city election in Mo.
Valley was a great victory for the
Democratic party in this city, the
entire ticket, but one councilman
being elected by fattering ma
joritiee. when the fact Missouri
Valley is. about sixty republican
on county or state questions,
Eff. James has emulated the
young man "Thrice mayor of
London" the voters Of this city
yesterday electiLg him mayor for
the third consecutive time. DUR
ing his past administration he
made record for himself which
the taxpayers and voters of this
citywere only to glad to recognize
BY theirsvotes yesterday. He has
concientiously. devoted his time to
the administration of the city's
affairs entrusted to his care. He
has always been ready to serve the
masses and not the individuals,
and during his past four years
service has not missed single
meeting ot.the city board unless
detained by sickness or absent
from the city. The state of all
city buildings, as we'll as the
streets and public conveniences
have been improved during his
administration.
The election M. O'Conner in the
Third Ward, by one of the largest
msjoritiss :evergiven a democrat,
gives assurance that he is the
favorite Of the voters of that ward.
In MIR. O'Conner's portion Of the
administration of the CITY affairs
we feel assured in stating that
good business ability will be
brought to the council chamber
from this ward, and that the needs
Of the city will be looked after
with the same degree of carefull-
ness as has marked the former
work ut s. VanPatten, al
derman in thr ward, for the past
two years. IL. O'Conner's busi-
ness is such that he can be con-
ferred with on short notice, at any
time when needed. He will make
the city splendid representative.
The reelection of w. O. Fensler
AZ alderman in the Second Ward,
although he was opposed by an
excellant man in Geo. Burbank,
is only z just reward of good SER
vice rendered in the past Mr..
Fensler's good work, during his
past two years service, was immed-
lately before the people Of his
ward, and the voters in the ward
could do nothing but recognize his
work by their ballots.
In the First Ward the election
Of ]. j. Amen, a republican, was
the only defeat suffered by the
democrats yesterday. L. N. Good.
rich, for the past two years, an ex.
cellant representative of the resi-.
dents Of the First Ward, in the
council room, had a large republi.
can majority to overcome IS well
as opposing the very strongest
man the republicans in the First
Ward could have nominated.
Frank Tamisies, city attorney
elect, has been in the practice o.
Law here for wears. and ia a mar
