WILLIAM LOEFFLER.

William Loefiier has proved the right
man in the right place rs city Clerk
of Chicago. He is undoubtedly 1.-THE
best that ever happened in that re-
spec,. AS the logical man for the po-
sitlon. the Democratic party recognizes
that he has fully earned reward Of
merit by u denomination which stands
an excellent chance of success ON u
ticket headed by Carter Harrison.
Mr.. Loeillcr's political record has al.
ways been the best. For years Mr..
Loctller has been an active member Of
the county central committee. The
Democratic party realizes that he Is
one of its clcvcrcst managers. Carter
Harrison's nomination for Mayor was
largely due to this good-naturcd West
side political general. Mr.. Locillcr was
elected City Clerk in April by an over
Whclming evidence of his strength with
the voters of Chicago.
Mr.. I.oefiler was born across the sea
In Bohemia in 1857. and came 10 Chi
cago N thc age of IL. America became
the country of his adoption. In 1874
he located in Chicago and engaged In
business. Now he Is the owner of two
wholesale and retail meat markets.
William Loefller believes IN broad
Democracy. lie Is honest and his pub.
lie and private life Is seasoned with
this characteristic. In bcstOwing the
gift of the elective franchise on de-
serving public servants the people of
Chicago will remember William Locf-

After years of operation and much
