is gratefully remembered, and those
who know him best will delight to
give him lift now that they can do
so.
Harry b. Simmon, the democratic
candidate for city treasurer has the
confidence and esteem of the whole
people. Recognized as a careful and
reliable bank official he will give the
same attention to public trust with
the result that the city will have it's
finances most excellently handled.
The candidacy of S. r. Kenworthy
for the office of city attorney has
met with the hearty endorsement of
citizens generally. He is young and
energetic and possessed of the quail
ties that will give the city's legal de-
partment an earnest advocate and one
who may be relied upon to do his full
duty.
If YOU elect the same old crowd YOU
will have the same old methods and
the same old town. Put new energet-
ic men at the helm and you will have
enterprise and go-ahead policy that
will be beneficial to every manufac-

Not much wonder there is a bond
of sympathy between William McCon-
ochie and Phil Miller. Both are chron-
ic seekers after a particular office.
McConochie has been an aspirant for
the mayors chair seven times in 13
years. and Miller has been perpetu-
ally after the marshalship since 1880
when he first held the office.
The essential qualities that should
go to make a good assessor are mani
fest in the character of NJ. w. Bat
ties, the democratic candidate. ~
builder of long experience, perfectly
familiar with property values all over
the city, and in addition Il conserva-
tive man of excellent Judgment, he
will fill the Office with credit to him
self and party.
The announcement became current
today that the length of the residence
in this city of William G. Pitman, the
republican nominee for collector, de-
ponds upon the outcome of the cleo
ton tomorrow. He is understood to
have already made arrangements to
leave the city in a few days provided
he is not the successful candidate.
Daniel Mckinney, Fl. c. Wehling. s.

son and William Beals. the demo-
cratic nominees for aldermen, are
clean and progressive and their elec-
ton will accomplish a much-needed
renovation of the city's law-making
body. The Westbay- observation-disclosures
Gall quartet is growing just Il trifie
stale and had better be paid off.

republican candidate for mayor. He
das a large and varied audience.
| George was not the sole attrac-
ton, for there was q song by quar-
tet and musical and dancing stunts
by local artists before the curtain
was rung up on the main act. George
himself, of course, did the star act
and he fairly burned the boards.
When he had run down it seemed as
though there was really nothing left
to be said or done. He pulled off an
other question-answeTing contest and
the judges, taking pattern after the
precedent set by the Judges in the
first affair of the kind, cut" the roll
giving each of the contestants s.
apiece Georges efforts brought him
a solid column of advertising in the
morning paper. for which he express
es himself as duly grateful.
