mentioned In this paper the other day
paid up their fees, and are now full-
1lcdged candidates for municipal honors
Tho fight In most OF tho wards will
be hot. Opposition is rife In all but the
Fourth Ward. In that ward the candi-
dates for tho lower branch have q walk
{, over, and for The Board Mcssrs. Barrett
and Moon arc counted as the winners
Mr.. Barrett Is present member. His
work has been exceptionally fine, and his
fcalty to his constituents has placed
him close to them. Mr.. Barrett Is
patriotic citizen, with no axes to grind
Z ana with only the good OF tho, city at
heart. He has often sacrificed his busi-
ness and social engagements IN the In
tcrests of tho city. and his constituents
feel they can hardly let a man like that
go.
Mr.. Moore is one OF the young men,,
energetic and fun Of the fire Of man
who wishes to help his city become one
OF high standing. He Is as popular as
any ono can be, and stands ready -
