MASON OR DAVIS.

Exactly how the two leading candi-
dates stand numerically in their cam
paign for governor is difficult to deter
mine One claims nearly all the dele
gate, thus far and the other claims
iu,t as many The contest has been OF
such bitter character that there is
nuen bad feeling and the prospect is that
something viii happen within the next
Thirty days that will retire one of them
from the race and probably both. The
idea Of compromise candidate, or rath.
er dark horse is growing. In that
event those most widely mentioned arc
Judge Jonn w Mason and Col. Thomas
+. Davis. Either Is well qualified for
the place and no one doubts but thQt
they would fill the place with just as
much ability as either of the present
ispirants.

can be done and no one who Is not fami-
liar with the work will know it. These
conditions are advantageous and re
quire every possible economy. The Of
ficials in charge Of these two depart
ments OF the city government have made
every dollar count, bat we hope it is
possible to yet improve the methods
employed, so that even more can be done
with the money expended. Best possible
results should be the honest aim. Sys-
tematic plan of work will bring this
about and The council can materially aid
in accomplishing this by the manner in
which il orders new work. Perfect sys;
tenn in the other departments of the
city government win also prove adyan-
tageous. Let nothing be overlooked that
win improve the city and see to it that
every dollar expended brings value re-
ceived.

LOOK AFTER STREETS.


The incoming council should early
give its attention TO street and water
works Improvements. First should be
adopted the most economical plans oil
having all work done. There should be
no expenditure that does not count.
Every dollar spent should be for sub
stantiai improvement and the greatest
care should be exercised to see that it
is thus, spent. The streets in various
wards of the city need improving very
much, especially so in the fifth ward,
where but little work with an exeep.
tion or two has been done the past yeaI
or so. That ward contains some very
valuable property and there is an mr.
gent demand that the streets along and
leading TO these properties be put in the
best possible condition. In other wards
OF the city also are important streets.
which should be looked after and not
only thoroughly repaired but permanent
~ improved so far as the funds of the
city will permit. The Telegram urges
that-neasures be taken nj the beginning
of the councilmanic year to do the work
here suggested. The revenues may not
be adequate enough 10 warrant such an
outlay of money as would be necessary
to make all the streets. what every
patriotic citizen would like them to be,
