visibility Of putting 80 much time upon
some things In arithmetic, such as taxes,
partial payments, insurance. bonds, etc,

associations plan will restore TO the bank
ers much Of the business in this line which
is now being done by the government
through the postofice. The general scheme
Is TO have a universal money order Issued
by bankers which will be honored at any
bank where the order may be presented;
For Instance. IL you want to carry or SEM
money an YOU have to do is to get a bank
ers' money order, AXE II with you or send
it In the mail and Il will be honored any
venience.
The idea is to charge one-tenth of 1 per
cent for the money order on small amounts,
which In about one-third the charge of the
express companies and less than the charge
made by the government. The universal
bankers money order system will also be
much simpler and much more convenient
than the government money order system.
In fact. the idea of the universal money
order IS TO make IL payable any place in
the United States without trouble as to
identification, genuineness of signature or
signing papers.

20 Urgent Demands of Bus
mess Men.

Alderman G. W. Mcdonald. yielding to
Ehe pressure Of bis friends and a large num-
Der Of representative business men. an
nounced himself last evening as a candi-
date for the republican nomination for
mayor. Ever since the opening Of the mu-
nicipal campaign Mr.. McDonsld's name has
been mentioned with more or less persist
.ncy in connection with the mayoralty nom
~ination, but as persistently he declined to
be considered a candidate for the office.
His intentions being sincere not to be a
candidate for the mayoralty, Alderman Nc
Donald sought and obtained a denomination
10 represent the Fourth ward in the city
council. Since the primaries Friday night
many Of Mr.. McDonald's friends and a
large number OF prominent business men
renewed their efforts to induce him to be-
come a candidate for the republican nomi-
nation for mayor. For business reasons
Mr.. Mcdonald hesitated. but the pressure
brought to bear on him was OF such a ma
ture that yesterday he decided he owed IL
20 his friends and the persons urging his
candidacy TO consent to their wishes.
Alderman Mcdonald has represented the
Fourth ward for one term in the city eoun-
Gil, during which he has made an enviable
record for business methods. AS local man
ager Of a large wholesale implement house,
he has ever since his residence In Council
Bluffs been prominently Identified with the
interests and welfare Of the city. He has
always been ready to devote his time and
energies when called upon to assist In any
public movement, and has also always been
willing to assist financially any movement
in the interests Of the community. His
friends who urged him 10 become a candi-
date for the republican nomination feel
that as mayor OF Council Bluffs he would
give the community a clean, businesslike
and capable administration.
