Somebody said that party politics
would "cut no figure in the present
city campaign, but the democrats have
become sufficiently alarmed or aroused
to call a meeting for tonight at which
the situation win be thoroughly can
vassed and the solid democratic
strength thrown to either Getz or Jones,
whichever develops the greater
strength. in the hopes OF thereby de-
feating the republican ticket and injur-
ing the party in county politics. Repub-
licans have been advised of this move,

MAYORALTY SITUATION.
On the eve OF the election ii must be
conceded that Mr.. Sears election is as
sured. A strong candidate from the
first. he has rallied the republican
forces to himself and to the entire city
ticket. The accessions to his support
have been gradual but steady, and came
from all classes, al the expense OF the
other candidates.. Mr.. Jones, who was
concededly the strongest candidate
PRIOR to the holding of .he republican
primary, has been losing ground since
then. and his republican following has
gradually deserted him because Of his
refusal to go into the republican pri-
mary. The fact that he was part of the
Pierce administrat ton and has been ac-
lively supported by the Pierce ring has
also injured his candidacy, and nov he
will have to he conceded no better than
third place in the mayoralty race. DIR
Getz has a good organization back OF
him and will secure a large vote, but
the widespread fear that he will create
fiscord on the council. whether well
founded or not, has caused many who
admire the doctor for his executive
ability and other good traits to go to the
strongest candidate Mr. Breckel is not
considered in the running

Had all the members of the council
stood for economy and a clean conduct
OF city affairs as have William Fisher
and Peter krcutzer. there would have
been less reason for republican party
ticket and less demand for general
change among those who have held the
balance of power on the council The
frank and outspoken demands of these
two men won for them place in the
affections OF the people and taxpayers.
and therefore there is no opposition to
their reelection. MIR. Henry in the
First and Mr.. Good In the Third had the
zane opportunity to serve the people.
but thru lack OF foresight and failure to
appreciate the public needs, and also by
their attitude OF being merely tools in
the mayors hands. they have caused a
decided opposition to their reelection.
The First ward is close politically and
Charles Speers that excellent young
buHnees man whom the republicans sa-
lected as their candidate, has hard
fight on his hands. but he has been
making vigorous campaign and has
grown In the favor of the people as they
became better acquainted with him.
Over In the Third ward the republicans.
and many democrats as well, propose
to elect w. A. WATSON over Mr.. Good.
and 1t now appears that he may lead
the republican ticket In that ward, and
will come out winner by large major
fly.
OTHER CANDIDATES.
The growing strength OF Mr.. Sears
for mayor and OF the republican candi-
dates In the First and Fourth wards is
having beneficial effect on the balance
OF the republican ticket.
One Of the important positions to be
hlled at the election Monday is that OF
city soliucitor. The voters propose to
place an experienced man in that office,
and for that reason Mr.. C. n. Van Law.
the republican nominee, will be elected
by q large majority. He IL one Of the

present political situation the safest
vote for good government is the vote
for the republican ticket. The Pierce
administration mas built up a strong
ring which is arrayed on the side of
Mr.. james. and despite Mr. Jones' asser-
tion that he is not Pierce candidate.
every body knows that the Pierce ring is
working For him and will hold a club
over his head if elected mayor. Mr..
Sears is all that any man could want In
a mayor and more than most mayors
are. A vote for the republican ticket is
a vote for him and for honest men TO
help him on the council.
However, DR.. Getzs friends should
remember that it will do no good to put
the doctor in Office and tie his hands
with an opposition council by returning
the old ringsters from the First and

THE CHINESE PUZZLE.

u t1fL 4SsftlINEiSF II E'ljLLIllI.
The successful effort of Messrs. Nc
CURE Henry, Good and others to Jug
gle the names IN the ballot and secure
better places for themselves and their
candidates is going to result in con-
fusion 10 the voters and likely benefit
to the entire republican ticket; this for
the reason that the people do not like
the idea OF running the risk of losing
their votes by wrong markings and
having the entire ballot thrown out.
People are coming to realize that the
only safe way is to vote the ticket
straight by PUTTING across in the circle
at the headNof the republican ticket, as
shown in the sample in this issue, Which
insures that it will count for Mr.. Sears
for mayor ard the republican candi-
dates for councilmen and other posi-
