Following the meeting of business
men on Monday evening of last
week Messrs. Philbrick and Tyson,
two of the leading candidates for
mayor, neither one of whom wanted
to serve in that position, got to-
gether. and after consultation, as
we'll as talks with a large number
of men of Redwood Falls it was de-
cided to induce Mr.. VIM. d. Lines
to stand as candidate. He con-
sented after great deal of urging.

strong man at the head of city affairs

need the best kind of management,

given the necessary power Mr..
Lines administration will be a big
saving to the tax payers of Redwood
