Word comes from various quarters of
the city that James Reddlck, candidate
for County Clerk, more, perhaps, than
any other candidate on the Republican
county ticket Is gaining strength every
day before the people. A. prominent
young Democrat said the other day:
"Reddlck will surprise everybody by
the way in which he will run in the
northwestern part of the city, where
he is personally known. ! am from the
sixteenth Ward, and | know whereof
| say when | assert that half the
Democrats of that ward, as well as all
the Republicans, will vote for him."
This is a fine tribute for any man in
public life, particularly coming from
his neighbors. There can he no doubt
of Mr.. Reddick's election by an over
whclming majority.
