Edward L. Xadnkin.

Editor Vadakn has been in Hot liable to be there three or four weeks longer.
 We have not consulted him about putting his name before the Democratic voters of this municipality for reelection to the office of city recorder, and do not know what his feelings are in the pre- misses, but in spirit of friendship, and with the knowledge of his official record before us, We take the liberty of publish ing his name as candidate, subject to the action of the Democratic primary election to be held February 26, 1901.
 In connection with Mir. Vadakn's ser. vice during his first term or office, nothing but clean, conscientious endeayor has characterized his actions.
 The office is responsible one and should De filled by man of pronounced clerical ability-such an one Is Vadakin, and no member of the council takes more piiuc III scIVus ms constituents honestly and faithfully than the present re- corder.
 We have spoken to a number of mutual friends in regard to presenting his name for re election, and all heartily concur with the idea of bringing him out without his knowledge, as partial acknowledge nent of their esteem and appreciation of his public worth.
 To his friends MT. Vadakin needs no commeDdation and we invite the atten- ton of the general public to his stand up- on all questions of public interest. He never fails to champion the measure which he believes will result in the great

o. P. Wolff.

Marshal Wolf, as will be seen by re- ference to our Announcement Column, Is again a candidate for the office which he now SO efficiently fills.
 Public sentiment and opinion is almost universally in favor Of Mr. Wolff as an officer and many Of those personally op' posed to him will vote for him when they go to the polls. Why is thi>?
 We attribute it to the fact that the majority ot the voters of Forrest City be- ieye that Oscar Wolff makes the best peace officer the town has ever had. Like all the rest of us, the gentleman has his faulte. but no man can offer a word Of adverse criticism in reference to his off gal actions. He Is terror to evil doers.
 Wolff is the chief of police-he is the whole force--and he runs inc town in his department.
 This is just the kind of man the peo- pie want to uphold the peace and dignity of the corporation and they are willing to sacrifice all personal feelings in voting for the right man.
 Remember Wolff's candidacy and give his claims fair and impartial considera. tion; his record as an officer is before you

 lion. John Ii. Tipton.

At the head of our announcement column this week may be found the name of Hon. J. II. Tipton. standing upon his merits as an official and his record as a conservative executor of the law, for reelection to the high po- sition which he now holds. As For. rest City's chief executive, John Tip ton, has made scores of friends and is now regarded as one of the most popn. lar public men in the city. The gen. eral opinion is that Tipton is d hard man to beat and his friends say: You cant't beat him.
 The present mayor is ambitious for Forrest City. He is inspired by lofty sentiments for the growth and ad- vancement of the town and never loses an opportunity to increase it's revenues, beautify and improve It's streets and further it's general inter. ests.,,
 To Mir. Tipton is due the credit for our present Complete system of water. works. His firm stand on this aues- tion and his persistence in engineering It through is above praise. Many citi. zens who were opposed to the bond is. sue for this purpose, and who subjected the mayors position to bitter and caustic criticism, are now the most en- thusiastic friends of the administra- tion, because they appreciate the value Of the waterworks and pealize that it was an important and progressive move. The water is a great conye. nience to every householder and Forrest City claims fire protection second to no town in Eastern Arkansas.
 We incidentally mention the foregoing facts in connection with Mayor Tipton's present aspiration that the voters may have no doubts as to the character of the man who asks their suffrage at the Democratic priL mary election on February 26. 1901 Consider his claims.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON. FEB. |. ioi.
Executive Committee Opens the Ball

The City Democratic Executive Committed held Its annual meeting Monday. the proceedings of which ma, le read in another column. Probably the most important act of tue commit t.e was the arrangements for the mu. nieipal primary, in accordance with in- struciions received from the mass meeting of citizens held d year ago al the county court room.
 The primary election has been de. monstrated good thing and has come to stay. It places the affairs of local pyernment in the hands of the best people and destroys that criminal pro- cess of "bleeding" candidates. which was originally practiced by the negroes and lower element of white voters.
 Good men may now offer and make i"e campaign for city offices at com paratively small expense. from pecu- niary standpoint and all the election. eering may be done in one day.
 Another strong inducement is the elimination of the immoral associa- tions which have heretofore been incl dent upon race for public office in Forrest City, and man may now em brace politics without sacrifice of self respect or a relinquishment of innate principles of honor and good citizen. ship.
 Since the meeting of the executive aommittee and the date of the prmar, has become definite fact, announce ments for city offices are comirg iit rapidly and we predict that lively and interesting campaign will be the result of an early primary.
 The excitement will be over in three weeks and prospective candidates would do well to come forward with their announcements at once.
 Candidates for aldermen, as well as those for other .pysitions, ought to an. nounce in the public prints, so tha, their claims and candidacy would be generally known in time to receive the
 
 consideration that such things deserve. It is not the part of wisdom for voters to step up to the ballot box and vote for just any old thing The merits, ability and fitness of every man for the place to which he aspires should be weighed in the balance, and if found wanting, he should not receive your vote, no matter what his relation to you, or how high he stands in your es- timation with relation to other things. Ask yourself first if candidate be competent to fill the position to which he aspires.
 Competency is the first and an abso- lute essential to the characteristics of satisfactory officer. Then weigh him with the weights of integrity 'so- briety.' energy courage firm ness 'geniality,' and whatever other qualifications an officer should possess. and let him receive or not receive your vote, according to the strict test of an impartial examination. Wise and economical government is a certainty if this rule be intelligently aud sin cerely adhered to-"

LOVELY MILLINERY.
At Muhlfelders' June Opening-Con-
 tinues To-Day

At Muhlfelders' June Opening-Con-
 tinues To-Day.
 Muhlfelders' handsomely equipped and thoroughly stocked big millinery establishment at S41-S43 Chapel street, presents a beautiful appearance these days, decked as it is for the June open ing in harmony with the month of roses and of weddings. The large show windows are most artistically ar >ranged, large floral marriage bells swinging in either windor.
 The opening will continue to-day, and it is expected that the store will be thronged as it was yesterday with ad- miring ladies' captivated by the new designs in millinery, the fine qualities of goods shown, and ,he very satisfac- tory prices prevailing. Everything shown has an air of summer and seems just adapted for the hot, dry weather naturally to be expected when summer is once in full swing. It is a noticeable fact that roses are big item in the millinery decoration for this summer, crushed roses being par ticularly the thing, with forliages, which beautifully harmonize.
 Muhlfelders', the successors of F. Moses X Co, is keeping up and if pos sible surpassing the enviable reputa- ton of the store for all the best and originality and fineness of workman ship, the goods shown are seldom sur passed.
