From present appearances there
will be little II any strife In the FORTH
coming city election in Bismarck Al
least there promises to be no party
or organized opposition or support to
any candidate OF set OF candidates.
There will be no nominations made
by political parties and it is a free
for all race from mayor down. Who
ever wants to run for alderman can
do so. Whoever runs will run by pc
tition or sticker. There Is general
satisfaction expressed with the present
administration. and while it has made
some enemies and some mistakes 1t
is doubtful if one could be obtained
that would give more general satisfac-
ton. In the attempt to enforce the
laws it is believed Mayor Register
has endeavored to treat all alike, re-
gardless of political or personal al
~liances. 1t being the well settled pol
icy of resubmissionists as we'll as pro-
hibitionists to enforce the present laws
rigidly there a be no complaint of
Mr.. Registers course in this matter
and whether he is a candidate or who
aver may run for mayor it will be e X
pected that the present policy will
be carried out. The principle of en-
dorsing an acceptable administration
by giving it a second term appeals
strongly to many people and in this
lies the strength of Mayor Register.
