TO VOTE a
NEXT TUESDAY. .5e@
POLLS OPEN FROM 6 A. M. TO
9 P. M. "
VOTE FOR CHESTER R. SMITH
AND FOR THE CHARTER, WHAT
EVER YOU DO.
The Democrats are said to have col
onized a large number Of illegal vot-
ers. Watch out for them on election
day and don't let them vote. It is a
= penitentiary offense to vote illgally.
Z. j. Nelson will poll a larger vote
In his present run for the assembly
than he did two years ago, when he led
the republican assembly ticket. Mr..
Nelson is fortified by splendid record
in the council and an enlarged circle
OF acquaintance. H.: .. +
Our first advice is, as Republicans, to
vote the Republican ticket straight.
But if there should be some candidate
on the ticket you do not care to vote
for, just let him alone and don't vote
for his opponent Whatever you do,
however, vote for Chester R. Smith
and the chartre.
AS the election draws near the pros
pect for republican victory in the Sec
ond ward grows brighter. Alderman
Knauft will be returned by a larger
majority than was given him two
years ago. The citizens of the ward
appreciate his efforts in their interest
during his term and will show their
appreciation at the polls.
One of the very significant things
about the candidacy of Bob Smith is
that he is most ardently supported by
the gamblers and crooks. We do not
mean that all his supporters are such,
but the gamblers and crooks are giving
him their support because they believe
he will give them more license. Is that
the kind of Mayor the good people of
st. Paul want?
Under democratic rule the taxes were
enormous, but they were far from suf-
fcient to meet running expenses, so
the city had to run into debt at the
rate of $1,O00,000 year. Now the re-
publicans manage things so econom-
ically that the taxes are Is or 80 per
cent lower and there is money enough
to pay all bills and reduce the existing
debt. See the difference?
P. J. Quint, the candidate for the dis
trict east of Wabasha street, was
chosen two years ago to the same posi-
ticn and his reelection is assured.
William p. Fountain, who is the Sixth
ward candidate, Us making a campaign
which is sure to end in success in the
word where he is best known. He is
Thoroughly reliable and competent
and will make capable official.
The candidacy of Harry T. Drake for
the assembly commends itself to every
business man of the city. He is just
the kind of a man to whom the large
interests of the city may be trusted
with absolute confidence that he will
handle them with the same degree of
care and with the same degree of sue
cess that he has shown in the business
world. The taXpaying voters of the
city will not fail to vote for Mr.,
Drake.
August Filter is proving himself as
a good campaigner when his own in
terests are at stake, as he has been for
these many years in the interest of
Republican candidates and Republican
principles generally. Few men have a
wider acquaintance than the Repub-
lican candidate for the city treasurer
ship or are held in higher regard by
their friends. Mr.. Filter has entered
into this contest with the same earn
estness that has always characterized
his efforts in politics, and is making
votes every day, not only for himself
but for the ticket from top to bot
tom.
The approaching election finds the
Republican committee and candidates
working in thorough harmony with
each other, and everything in excellent
shape for the roundup May 1. Every
man on the ticket is hustling for the
whole ticket as well as for himself, and
the most encouraging reports are re-
celVed daily and nightly from the diff
ferent wards. Chester R. Smith is in
Creaslng the size of his majority with
every day of his campaign, gaining
votes as fast as he gains friends and
acquaintance throughout the city. AS
the voters meet him face to face they
realize that he is a straightforward
' frank business man, who has nothing
In his personal or business record tic
conceal, while he has the prestige OF
success in his previous undertakings
The local Republican campaign will
be brought to a close this evening by
a general mass meeting for the entire
city at the Auditorium. The occasion
will be marked not only by the pres
ence and the eloquence of the best local
speakers, but Captain S. R. Van SAINT
of Winona, j. Adam Bede, the sage OF
Pine City, and Hon. w. H. Grimshaw
of Minneapolis, will tell the Repub.
licans of St. Paul how closely the Local
campaign and the prospects for the ap.
