among the employees that the Laughlin
tin plant would the first of the
year, and upon looking up the good
news it was found out that it emf
mated from the office, and it is to be

The buzz of politics grows louder ev-
cry day, and the nearer the time comes
for the primaries for the Republicans
the situation becomes more complex.
Politicians outside the city are taking
a hand, as it is now known that Mart

county offices, and each one of these
men are taking an interest In city af-
fairs. After the holidays are over the
fight for the nominations will COM
mence and then the fur will fly. From
the present outlook the number of an
didates in the field will make the out
come a problem that will be similar to
the English and Boer war-an IN
known quantity. The Democrats are
lying low, arc not making any claims,
will hold their convention late and will
wage a fight for reform and a pure
city government.
