HONEST ALFRED CAVE
An Earnes Worker for the Good
of the City.
THE MAN FOR THE PLACE
The Democratic Aldermanic Candidates
Are just the Men to Assist Mr..
Cave in a Business Admin
istration.

Missoula March 3l.-"Honest Alfred
Cave'-that is the way every man who
knows the democratic candidate for
mayor speaks of him. He is an honest
man and an earnest worker for the good
of the city. Even his political oppon-
They know him and they appreciate his
sterling worth. He has rendered the
city and the county faithful service in
the past and he is competent to continue
many dollars by his careful methods in
the county treasurer's office and has
added to the revenue of the county by
his attention to collections. He has lived
in Missoula ever since there has been a
city here and is familiar with the con-
ditions and needs OF the municipality.
No better selection could be made for
the highest office in the city than this
respected citizen. If he is elected Citi-
zens may rest assured that there Will
be no jobbery in the management OF
the city's affairs; that the collection
of all moneys due the city will be care
lully dlleuueu 10 anu tHdl LIE chptiiui-
lures will be watched with jealous at
tention and care. With Mr. Cave as
mayor the city's financial condition will
improve materially. A vote cast for him
is a vote for economy and honesty in
the administration of city business.
With the excellent business prospects
that are now ahead Of Missoula there
will be a natural tendency on the part
of the city administration to become
extraVagant in the conduct of the at
fairs of the city. What is needed is
just such a man as Mr.. Cave a the
head of the city government
No better men could have been
chosen to assist in carrying out such a
policy of city government as Mr.. Cave
has in mind, in case he is elected, than
the four aldermanic candidates nomi-
mated by the democratic convention this
week. MI Pullam has already been
tested as an alderman and has been
found to be satisfactory in every re-
spect. He is a man whose business
reputation is without bemish and who
is known to be a careful and conserva-
tive man, with a deep interest in city
affairs He would make the best repre-
sentative man that the First ward could
select to represent it in the city council.
The democratic candidate from the Sec
Ond ward, L. Y. Simons, has been
known Cor years in Missoula as a good
and progressive citizen. He has built
up an excellent business in the city and
has done much to aid in the furtherance
of public measures that have been of
much benefit to the city. He may be
depended upon to look carefully to the
expenditures of city money and to aid
in improving the financial condition of
Missoula. Sid j. Coffee, the nominee OF
the Third ward democrats. has been so
long in MissOula that he needs no in
dorsement or introduction. He has in
vestments in the city and has been for
years identified with the business inter-
ests of Missoula. He is a man against
whom there can be nothing but good
said and is in all respects entitled to the
hearty support of the voters of his ward.
The Fourth ward democrats made no
mistake when they selected Frank M
Keim as their candidate for alderman
Mr.. Keim has served one term as rep
resentative of that ward and his record
is known to all. He has never missed a
council meeting since he has been in
office and has given more careful at
tenton to the business of that body
than any other alderman. AS chairman
of the auditing committee he has saved
the city many dollars in the monthly
bills that have passed through his
hands To continue him in office would
be to assure the people of the Fourth
ward that they will be as well repre-
scented in the future as they have in
the past and that they will be better
represented than they would be by a
new and untried man, who is not ia
miliar with the methods and conditions
Of city business.
This is the ticket that the democrats
have submitted to the voters of Mis-
soula. It is ticket of which all citi-
zens, regardless of politics, may wei
feel proud. The men On the ticket are
all representative citizens men who
have interests in the city and who are
known to be entitled to the trust anC
confidence of all citizens. No voter who
casts his ballot for them Will make {
mistake.
The campaign that is now fairly start
ed and that will end in four days prom
Uses to be one of the quietest that thi:
city has ever seen. The small registra
ton indicates a general lack of interes
and there is little or no dicussiOn OF
the streets, as is usual in campaign IL
Missoula. There is one very pleasan
feature regarding the campaign ant
that is the absence of any personalities
in the contest The campaigners arr
making their fight on party lines. Mayor
Webster, in his speech of acceptance
last night, expressed himself regarding
the ticket that is opposed to him il
pleasant terms. He said that the dem
ocratic candidates are all strong mer
and good citizens; that Mr.. Cave, the
candidate for mayor, is a man for whom
he had much respect and whose friend
ship he valued highly. With that spirit
prevailing, the campaign is certain tC
be devoid of any mud throwing.
