CANDIDATES AND CANDIDATES

ministration REINFORCE Mr.. Griffin, his
policy is open as the day. What to
expect from him is a foregone con-
clusion, but with Mr.. Logan it is diff
ferent.. He proposes to tear down
the bulwarks and throw the town
wide open-a twenty-four hour shift.
His platform makes many prom
ises to which he has not subscribed.
1t will be well to vote to retire Mr.. |
Logan until some more favorable OPP
portunity presents. AS constant
candidate, we suggest that he await
the fall elections; then in the field
for county attorney, with his present
expressions in behalf of a certain
tabooed class, he should make a hot
campaign; a red light campaign.
Judge Macarthur, occupying the po-
sition which he has ably filled for
nearly two years. should be elected
upon his merits as an impartial dis
penser of justice. Enemies he has by
the score; many of them Influenced
in their spite against him because he
has been duty bound to lawfully pun
ish them or their friends for proven
misdemeanors.
Shall this performance of duty be
rewarded by turn down?
From financial point the police
court has been a success during
Judge McArthur's incumbency Nearly
every month of the past term he has
turned over to the city treasurer
enough and more than enough to
maintain the police department.
Is not that an evidence of his
worth and fitness?
Justice not unmixed with mercy
has been the ruling of his court.
Sometimes harsh to the misdoer, but
oftener uttering words of censure
than assessing a fine for trivial
breaches of the code, Judge Near
thur suits the position admirably A
certain class of offenders find in him
no leniency, as we'll they do not, and
the sentiment against him is confined
to that class and their running mates
who sooner or later expect to be
brought face to face with his honor
at 10 a. m. and get assessed ten dol
lars or ten days.
The city funds and collection there
of may never rest in surer hands
than with G. R. Griffith. He has
every qualification the opposing can
didates friends are claiming with the
addition of an universal acquaintance
in the city which he has seen grow
from scattered hamlet to preten-
tious city, big enough to have paved
streets and uniformed policemen.
Every person engaged in business or
occupation requiring a license is
spotted by Charley Griffith and puts
up the coin to the city for the privi.
lege. One of the duties of the city
treasurer, not less important than
keeping the city funds is to get them.
A man of extensive acquaintance and
liberal habits is the proper caper for
this Office, and Mr.. Griffith is the
man.
: OF the candidates for aldermen in
the various wards of the city nomi-
mated upon the citizens ticket there
is nought which can be used success
fully against their rightful ambition
, to become elected to the council from
their home wards, excepting only the
) terrible name of Murphy, in the Sec
ond. Mr.. Murphy, as has before been
; remarked, is a progressive business
man and man of good financial
} standing. His interests are all in Kali
J ispell and he is possessed of guam
tity of sense that will enable him to
perfectly represent the second, and
another thing, his name is a good,
: Irish one and not so terrible outside
of the cultured precinct of the Inter
Lake sanctum, although he scarcely
ever figures at pink teas. Mr.. F. E.
French, in the Third ward is also a
substantial business man, whose in
vestment represented by the Ameri-
can steam laundry in Kalispell runs
} into thousands. Mr.. French is also
