To-day the citizens of Bellaire have
an opportunity to elect officers for the
city that are fully capable and compe-
tent to fill the office and all those who
know and feel this need will find the
Democratic ticket the one that will
give to all the people an administra-
ton that will be a credit to the city.

as when he was in office, he filled it
satisfactorily, and was a terror to evil
doors. He has the ability and is a
man who has the true manhood to be
fearless in doing his duty. Clement
L. briggs for Water Works Trustee. is
a man for this position, and is deserv-
ing of being the member-elect; Fred
Spriggs, as City Solicitor, is an attor-
ney of much ability, and one whom
the citizens, regardless of party, should
support. The balance of the ticket is
one that no citizen can mistrust, and
all are deserving of a vote that will
place them in power. Can Bellaire cit
liens afford to allow this excellent
ticket go down in defeat? No. The
people are awake and will vote for the
man. not party.
