NEW CITY OFFICIALS

remarkable vote of confidence re-
ceived at the more recent city elec-
ton proclaims him to be one of the
most popular Office holders in
the city. He was nominated
for clerk against his wish; be
made no fight for election;
he did not ask the support OF a SIM
gle citizsn, yet so great was his
popularity that his majority was
considerably more than the ticket
of his party. He will make one OF
he best clerks that ever filled the
office.
Lee L. Frantz, the "red headed
Dutchman" showed how he could
run on election day. he brings to
his responsible Office years Of care
nj and successful business expert
ence,and training Careful, thorough
honest, he will make record In
the Office of collector and treasurer.
Mr.. Ryan, the new councilman
from the first ward. Is valuable
addition to that body! Earnest,
enthusiastic, progressive, determin-
ed, he will aeek to know what Is
right, and will then work for 1t
with all his might and power. He
never dies things by halves, and
the large vote he received indicates
that the pc pie of the first ward
have confidence In him and expect
from him asplendid record during
the two years he will represent
them In the councils of the city
government.
]. F. Frame, of the seconds one
of the best known business men OF
the town. He Is thoroughly famtl-
lar with the city In every respect.
His great experience In the railroad
offices has peculiarly fitted him to
represent the good people OF bis
ward In the city council. He will
be valuable addition to that body,
and will add strength to It's years
work.

We trust they will have pleasant
and successful year, and that under
their guidance, municipal affair may
prosper as they have never done

In the past land whose official lives
are at an end will lay down the ha-
billments of power, and they will be
assumed by the ones selected by the
people at the recent election to act
for them tor the exttwelve months
The reports for the past year will be
submitted, and plans for future
work laid. The appointed officers
will be selected and the entire
machinery of government over
hauled for an other run of a twelve
mcnth.
But few new faces will be seen on
the municipal government roll.
The mayor will be the same and
all of the councilmen except two.
This gives the former members of
council the majority. What
changes will be made in the ap-
polntive Offices remains to be de.
voloped at the meeting tonight, but
the chances are that they will be
few. The police force will doubt
less remain the same, and should,

other Offices most of the present in
