fection. In the Fourth il is likely

Bishop. Smith and Bacon are running
there with the fight seemingly between
the first two. Bacon is not without
backing. however, and no one is likely
TO have a walkaway. In the Fifth one
primary will decide IL between Framp

and Frampton has the advantage of
having served one term. In the Sixth
Fryer looks to be done for. Fryer is
not "A dishonest or corrupt man, but
he is weak i'm that he seems to be at
the mercy of the last man who does
any pushing. He has broken promise
after promise in the council and his
word is lightly regarded. In the
Seventh Henry Myers is making il very
warm for Lyman. and there are many
who say that he is going 10 win at
the primaries, although at the election
that's another story.
y
The campaign has been productive of
one good thing, IL has brought out a
strong and distinctive feeling among
citizens in favor of municipal light
ing plant. and whatever happens at
the ward primaries the council will
be forced by public sentiment to take
the action necessary to install one.
The present prices paid for lighting are
exorbitant, and the present over-capi-
talization of the lighting company is
so great as to absolutely prohibit any
hope of reduction in the future. The
only escape for the consumers is
municipal ownership. 1t is coming,
slow but certain. Meanwhile il isn't
safe to allow the gas company to use
the city council for the purpose of
forcing out of the lighting business its
only competitor at present, the traction
company, and so it happens that the
people and the traction company are
fighting on the same side this cam
paign.
Walter l.. Anderson. an aspirant for
the republican nomination for the Of

dent Of the city for over three years.
He is the Junior member of the law

Mr.. Anderson, in outlining his plat
form, says he stands for morality and
purity in municipal affairs. Concern
ing the official duties of the police
judge, he said:
Il believe in case of doubt the police
