RAMBLER ISk|NC

Because every advanced method of the
mechanical art is employed in building
the Rambler wheels. All the elements
of beauty, strength, originality and high
quality are blended in the eight Rambler
models offered this season. The RAM
bier bicycle has always been the easiest
running wheel on the market, and in the
twenty-three years of its manufacture it
is recognized to be as strong as any wheel
made.
The sculptor's reputation is not made
bv the first work of his chisel. The best
in everything is the result of Imaking the
good better, and in keeping everlastingly
at it. The Rambler is equipped with the
famous G. & J. tires; the handiest and
most durable tire made.
This wheel is on sale at J. 4. Berrys,
and in buying Rambler you have your
choice of all the latest equipments for
bicycles; such as saddles, hand1ebars,
pedals, bells, toeclips, graphite and oils

election returns came In it was
found that a good many who had
registered did not vote. 1t is
thought that the registration this
year will slightly exceed 1000.
If the law allowed the reglstra-
ton of all newcomers much
heavier vote would be registered
this year than ever before IN the
history of the county. But ae-
cording to law, the new arrivals
shall have been, when the
election day arrives, in the
state for period of six
months, otherwise they will not
be entitled to a vote. As the
election will be held on the and
of June, it will be seen that those
who arrived in the state later
than the and of last December
cannot register as they will not
be entitled to vote at the cleo
ton. Where it is found that a
man will be otherwise qualified
to vote on election day, the law
declares that he shall be regis
tered. For instance, If it is
found that young man will be-
come of age few days before
election he may be registered
while he is yet a minor.

UPHoLDs STRIKERS.
Des Moines Mayor Says Other Unions
Should Aid Girls.

Des Moines, June 27.-Mayor j. M.
Brenton, of Des Moines, makes the
statement that the other labor unions
of the city ought to declare a sylnpa-
thetic strike in order to aid the tele-
phone girls, now out on strike for
higher wages and the recognition of
their union.
They will never win any other
way" said Mayor Brenton. at has
been the universal history of all such
strikes, that where the men went
back without being recognized they
were dropped out one by one as fast
as their places were filed
81 hope the labor unions of Des
Moines will paralyze the wheels of in.
dustry and declare general strike if
the demands of the telephone girls
are not granted
"The girls are not being paid wages
on which they can live respectable
lives, and, even if the company offers
to meet their demands for wages, they
should not go back to work unless
their union is recognized
81 hope to see the telephone girls
win, and then l hope to see the girls
in the department stores, which are
making a profit out of the virtue of
the girls they employ, go on strike
and compel the stores to pay a living
wage. This is only the start of a
great movement in Des Moines, and if
| it wins here it will spread over the
entire country"
Mayor Brenton is union man, and
| it was largely the votes of organized
labor that elected him to his present
position. He is taking up the cause
of the telephone girls with enthusi.
asm and has visited the Bell and the
Mutual companies in their interest.
accompanied by the arbitration com
mittee of the Trades and Labor as,
sembly, which is giving moral and fl.
nancial support TO the strikers.
The companies refuse to recognize
the unions, but have expressed will
ingness to take back the girls and pay
| them the 81 day they demand. The
