FOR COUNCILMEN,
A Word About the Republican
Candidates.

The republicans of the Ave wards
of the city of Oskaloosa have placed
in nomination for councilmen some
good timber that will add needed
strength to the city council. A city
is much like an individual in busi-
ness career, There is an income and
an expenditure. The city must live
within its income or there will be
trouble. Place good business men
on the city council who are thor
oughly business men and they will
legislate to the end that the business
of the city goes forward upon busi-
ness principles. Oskaloosa's council
needs little bracing in this direc-
tion. The candidates nominated for
Ito republican ticket are all men of
~ ''*s and sound business iudgs-
,sa,. "p "a ,, ks &c the council the
desired strength.
JAMES WILLIS 1sT WARD.
Everyone knows Colonel James
Willis, Mahaska county's famous
auctioneer. Mr.. Willis is candi-
date from the 1st ward. He is a
popular candidate and deservedly so,
for the people know the true worth
of the man. He has been resident
of the ward for number of years
and is well acquainted with it's needs
and its troubles. He has seen the
ward grow from year to year and
knows of the existing condition of
affairs. Mr.. Willis is ar earnest and
careful business man in his private
affairs and will bring the same iudg-
ment to the expenditure of the funds
of the city that he exercises in his |
own business. Mr.. Willis is an old
soldier and most worthy citizen in
every way and the people of the 1st
ward should support the man in a
manner that speaks of the apprecia
tion of good thing.
'BART" SINCLAIR, I'd WARD.
"Bart" Sinclair has been nominat-
ed for the council from the I'd ward.
The gentleman is known as cou-
tractor, carpenter and builder and
wood worker, and one of the best in
the city. He started in business with
meager means, and, laboring against
odds, he has established a lucrative
business and acquired property, thus
marking his efforts by a success that
was richly merited. He is well known
to the people of the ward and city as
business map and will be a popu-
lar candidate in the ward. The man
who has made his own affairs stand
upon a sound foundation is the man
who is desired in the city council to
engineer the affairs of the city. Mr..
Sinclair will be found ready and
willing at all times to give the af-
fairs of the city the same careful at
tention that he gives to his own bus
iness.
FRANK BAKER, BIRD WARD.
Frank Baker is the candidate for
the council from the Third ward and
the Republicans there made no mis-
take in selecting this young man. He
is a young man who has made q
wonderful success in his business af-
fairs. He came to the city several
years ago and entered tho foundry
and plumbing business with Warren
johnson. Opportunities were pre-
scented that enabled tho young man
to show his sxecutiye ability. and

Mr.. Baker in the council by record

wM. CUNNINGHAM, 4TH WARD.
The candidate of the Fourth ward
Republicans needs no introduction to
the people of the city. He has served
term of two years on the council of
the city and his work speaks for it
self. He is a man very favorably
known in the city and in his ward
and there is no doubt that he will be
returned to the council by an in
creased majority. Mr.. Cunningham's
work on the council has been gener-
ally admired. He had !. snlr !, .5
FORM for his people and as worked
toward that end with an earnestness
and faithfulness that will stand as an
example for years to come. The gem
tleman was placed upon several of
the working committees and he was
always ready to sacrifice time and
personal affairs to give attention to
the city's good. His attention to de-
tail is another virtue. The voters of
the Fourth ward should return the
candidate. He is needed on the
council.
D. L. COLE, 9TH WARD.

council two years ago is again before
the ward for their approval. The
of the ward are entirely satis-
fed with what his been done by the
Doctor on the council and they are of
the opinion that he should be returned
for the council has need of the work
and the advice of the gentleman and
it could be given by no other member
or candidate now on the ticket. The
gentleman is specially fitted for abe
work that has been given him by the
council and he should be permitted
to go on with the same. He has at
all times and in all that he has done
had the best interests of the city at
heart, He has been a faithful COM
mittee worker and has placed per-
sonal business secondary to that of
the city. Let us have the man for
second term.
