On the North Side we have Messrs.
Sites and lsgar for aldermen, both
men OF ability who will serve the city
honestly and conscientiously. Meth
er belongs to any clique scheming for
this or that privilege. Their only
pledge will be to keep faith with the
people of the city as whole. Blind
partsanship will not be their hobby,
and this is something the Fourth ward
voters should take into consideration.
DO not elect men who make politics a
business and must be guided by party
policy rather than the interests of the
city. While Messrs. Sites and Isgar
believe in Republican principles. they
are not politicians, striving for politi-
cal preferment and will not be under
the parth lash compelling them to ad-
vance the interests of the party rather
than the city.

The fitness of candidates for the
positions named should be carefully
considered by the voters of any city.
1t is not only necessary for candi-
date to be honest, but he should be
energetic and progressive, possessed
of that balance wheel which makes a
success of life. No matter how hon
est or how popular an officer may be,
if he shirks his public duties it means
disaster for the constituent he serves.
All these things should be carefully
weighed by our voters. The Herald
believes that a perusal of the names
of the Republican nominees is sufii-
cient to convince one and all that Du-
range will be in capable hands if the
Republican ticket is elected in its en-
