Today's Election.

Only one ticket is presented to- the
citizens of Augusta at today's
municipal election. the local Democracy
again deeming discretion the better
part of valor. This is the strongest
kind of a compliment to Mayor Tit

ment of 1901, and shows how well salts
fed are our citizens of all classes AMI
parties with the clean, business-like
and economical administration of city
affairs for the past year. The record
for the year is one to be proud Of and
is guarantee of what will be done
during the coming year. Though there
is no contest at the polls, today, the
vote should not be light one. Our
citizens. regardless of party should
deem it privilege to express by their
ballot their cordial endorsement of
Mayor Titcomb's administration. So
vote, today, and see that your neighbor
does likewise.
