Citizens Who Stand as Candidates,
Who They are and What
They Do.


the centre of the city to the machine
shops of the Cox & Sons Company,
cheerily speaking to this acquaintance
and that. Waving hand to someone
who he knows well, always good
natured, always smiling.
At night it is the same way It is
the same man returning from his
work to his home, and in the same
way.
Again you will see him ON his way
to church. On Sundays you may see
him in his place in the choir of the
First Baptist Church, and again you
may see him quietly going here and
there attending to his business
Never anything but the quiet, un-
assuming, congenial gentleman
Unnecessary to say who this is.
Everyone of his acquaintance will
recognize him as David Jones.
David Jones lives in the First ward,
his home being ON North Laurel
street. Here he has lived for years,
and among those who are his best
friends are his Immediate neighbors,
those who know him best. If he has
enemies, they are discreetly keeping m
the background, and do not say a
word against him. 1t would be idle
if they did, for no one would listen
to matters averse to him.
AS a candidate for City Council in
the First ward, Mr.. Jones appeals to
all classes of people. He is an indus
trious honest mechanic, man who
has the respect of his fellow workmen
and who has the highest commenda-
tion of his employers.
Likewise Mr.. Jones is thoroughly
known by the influential men of the
city, and the business community
have entire respect for him.
Mr.. Jones has been careful, pru-
dent man, and has property interests
which gives him especial interest in
the welfare of the city. He has al
ways been student of public affairs,
and is well fitted to sit in Council and
assist in the legislation for the munich
pality.
The Republican party of the First
ward is fortunate i'll having Mr.. Jones
upon the ticket. He was not a candi-
date for the nomination The most
influential Republicans of his ward
urged him strenuously to take the
nomination, and while he was not de-
sirous of entering public life he ac-
cepted the proposition as good citi-
zen, and without opposition was unan-
imously honpred with a nomination.
| No clearer minded more fair, i'm
partial, honest man, can be suggested
! for Council His vote will always be
for the best interests of the people
and the city. Always can he be de-
pended upon to help blocking any raid
upon the treasurer or saddling upon
the town, measures not for the public
good.
1t is for the First ward to elect its
representative The Democrats have
not made their nominations. 1t mat
ters not who they may name in their
caucus, but certain it is that they
have not at their command a man
more fitted for the position than Mr.
Jones.
The Pioneer" believes that Mr.
Jones will be elected, because it has
faith in the good Judgment of the
people. 1t is the conservative repre-
sentative vote that usually is in the
majority, and it is this vote that can
be depended upon to go to Mr.. Jones.
Incidentally it may be suggested
that now is the time when the city
needs good timber in it's Council
manic structure. The city has kept
pace with improvement and there is
disposition to move on, but it is
highly important that the spirit of
progress does not sweep away all eau
tion, and the demand is for conserv-
ative, level headed men to accept a
place in the body of local statesmen.
Men who do their own thinking and
who will vote their conviction.
Mr.. Jones is that kind of man.
