whip" let er crack.
The candidates for the various offices
are So we'll known that there is but
little necessity for argument, and com
parsons are always odious. The Bull
letin kindly grants permission for the
election of Mr.. A. j. Bond for assessor.
He has been an honest and faithful
officer.
For city solicitor it s doubtless true
that Mr.. Burch has had much more ex-
perience along many lines than has his
opponent. Mr.. McLennan. all of which
is decidedly to the advantage of Mr..
McLennan. In some communities
where not so we'll known Mr.. Burch's
pomposity might carry weight.
| Nothing can be said against Mr..
Voss as candidate for treasurer. He
is one of the most popular and helpful
young men of Denison. No man ex-
ceeds him in quiet and cheerful liber-
atty. The effort to inject bank pre-
JUDGE into the campain is ludicrous
and uncalied for Mr. NJ. E. Jones.
cashier of the Craw ford County State
Bank, is treasurer of the school board.
We have never heard any complaint on
that account. Ii MIR. j ones were elected
he would undoubtedly deposit the CITY
funds in bank and not carry them
around in his pocket. There is no
doubt, however, about Mr.. Voss's cleo
ton by the handsome majority he de-
serves.
Mr.. George Davis has lived in Deni-
son for many years, He has been an
honest, industrious and upright citi-
sen. We wish the Bulletin had ex-
planned in what particulars he was in
ferior to his opponent instead of max.
ing the broad assertion that he was.
Mr.. Davis will be elected and make a
strong member of the council.
In the Second Ward we believe that
the voters can we'll afford to give en-.
couragement to the bright and indus
trious young man who has steadily and
earnestly forged his way to the front.
1t is true that Mr.. Lochmiller has not
made his pile, that he cannot stand
about the streets doing nothing, but
there are too many young men in Den
ison who are likewise working to make
their way in life to let this count
against him. In this city the class of
workers and toilers is much largec than
the leisure class. We believe that the
young. Woodworking men of the
second ward will appreciate the fact
that one of their number has been
honored with this nomination and will
feel that he is a young man who will
protect their interests.
Mr.. Herman Grill, who was probably
the high bidder for the democratic
nomination for alderman in the third
ward, is man who has lived here but
a short time, he has not associated him
self with the interests of Denison, he
has done nothing for the Intellectual
or moral or financial development of
Denison save to build for himself a
home out of the profits of his county
bridge contract. In fact his only busl-
ness dealings in Denison have been an
effort to compete without paying taxes
with the Legitimate tax paying lumber
interests OF the city. No man of Deni-
son has been more faithful in his ideas
of right and honesty than Mr.. Wygant.
He has filled former positions of trust
with honor and credit. And there is
no more loyal republican in Denison.
The republicans of the third ward
should see to it that he is elected.
| Retrenchment and reform is always
the cry of the demagogue who wishes
power. We notice that the democrats
have receded from their position of
criticism OF the public improve.
ments that have been made.in Denison.
Denison is in debt but it has receive
the face value of every penny of its in.
debtedness. Crawford county is not in
debt, but what has it to show? Miser.
able roads, weak kneed bridges and q
court house that is stencil in the
nostrils of every reputable citizen.
The county has had twenty rich town
ships to draw on for taxes and with the
immense sums thus paid it will be
hard to point out single public i'm
provement, unless it be the county Jail
which is worthy of the county ani
which represents the enterprise an6
progress of the people. Crawford Co
with good roads, good bridges, gooe
county buildings, and 100000 deb
would be much better off than it is to
day with all its moneys expended t.
satisfy horde of hungry democrati.
dependents.
We would again urge the republican,
of Denison to be loyal to the tickle
: which they themselves have nominated
/. and to see that it is triumphant,
elected next Monday.
