EVERYTHING IS
/, IN READINESS
City Election Will Be Held To-
day.
POLLS TO OPEN AT SIX
CounCiImen and School Board
Members to Elect

Members of the city council and Of the
board of education are to be elected to-
cay by every ward in the city. The cleo
tion of the Republicans on the ticket
depends simply on one conditon-the in
terest and resultant action Of the voters.
THAT it is their duty to vote has been
Hammered into the people year after
scar. They have come to look for it az.
h regular reoccurring injunction 10 be APP
ndied TO the ''other fellow" This is true
In general, but there is hope in the fact
that each year the injunction leads some
,taan in every precinct, ward, city or
eftate to reason and, seeing the benefits
That are bound to result, to as relgiously
Tbserve the duty as he does his Office
hours. Wichitas welfare, financially and
!. otherwise rests in the hands Of its couL-
z Gil, school board and city officials. The
amount OF taxes that every property
owner in the city has TO pay depends on
the action of these bodies, and the action
az the bodies depends on the men elected
10 the offices. The men on tn Republican
ticket at this election are representative
business men on whom the people can
depend to administer their affairs with
discretion and conservative judgment.
The people. the friends and neighbors OF
these candidates, know we'll their charaC-
ter. but they can show appreciation of the
fact today in but one way only-by voJ-
irg. The campaign has been quiet one
and for this reason there is more dan
ger of apathy on the part OF the voter.
The quietness with which it has passed
of tends to cause the people to conside.
1t unimportant All after little thought
must realize that it is most important
The polls will open at o'clock this
morning and remain open until o'clock
this evening. Immediately after CLOCK,
The closing hour. the judges and clerk
: will count the ballots, after which they

where the board of canvassers made up
