MAY BE OBLIGED TO
WITHDRAW NAMES
Christensen and Cikanek Must Show
Cause to Remain on Ticket.

Order to show cause was issued yes
terday afternoon by the state supreme
court why the names of Hans Carsten-
sen and Matthew J. Cikanek, candi-
dates on the Socialist Labor" party
ticket for mayor and assemblyman, re-
spectively, should not be taken from
the official ballot, and why G. H. Strait
ton, j. Edward Carlson and Fred Miller,
who are on the ticket, should not have
the word Socialist" after their names.
City Clerk George T. Redington,
Christensen and Cikanek are cited to
appear this morning in the supreme
court to answer an application made by
Bircham F. Morledge. The application
recites that petitions "purporting" to
be signed by a large number Of electors
Were filed with the city clerk nominat-
ing Christensen as mayor and Cikanek
as assemblyman and that petitions
signed by over 500 votes nominating
c. H. Stratton, 221 West Seventh
street, for mayor, and J. Edward Carl
son, 598 Jackson street, and Fred Miller
for assemblyman were also filed. It is
contended that the designation Social
ist-Labor'' which has been placed on
the official ticket after the names of
Christensen and Cikanek, will take
votes away from Stratton, Carlson and
Miller after whose names a blank has
been left.

awarded the contract in every instance
to the lowest bidder, the ability of the
bidder to comply with the terms of the
contract being, of course, also cOnSid-
cred. There has been no discrimina-
ton in favor of anybody, and the rec
ords of our office will bear out this
statement in its every detail
AT Col. Wright'S Mozart hall speech
he is credited with having charged the
administration with extravaganza in
sthe lighting of the streets.
The records fail to confirm the truth
of his statement. In 1901 the city, as
an experiment, installed 600 incandeS-
cent gasoline street lamps, paying an
annual rental Of $50 per lamp per year.
In 1902 the old board ordered all the
gas lamps changed to incandeScent
burners, at rate of $29 per year, and
converted all the gasoline lamps into
incandescent burners. There were
some 1000 of the lamps to be SO con-
verified at the start.
No Favorites Played Here.
In 1902, the council by bringing in
competition, reduced the cost per lamp
per year to $23.96 for gasoline incan-
descents and for gas lamps the price
per lamp was $29.
Snafp competition IN 19U5, Suppl6Q
by new company, under the wise adj
ministratiOn of the Democratic council
which was still playing no favOriteS
further reduced the price paid by the
city and a new contract was entered
into by which the city obtained mean
descent gas lamps at $26.45 per year,
a reduction Of $3.50 from the original
figures paid under administrations, and
on total of 2,555 lamps resulted in a
saving of $6,515.25, while the reduc-
ton of $5.04 made on the gasoline
lamps means a further saving Of SILL
S94.80. The city under the new fran
chise has gotten the price per electric
arc lamp down to a point where it
saves 81, 900 per year on this one item
alone, meaning a reduction in the cost
of lighting the city under the present
plan from the original prices of $685.

Visitors Enjoy the
Worlds Fair at Little Cost
First Class Accommodations Furnished
for Thousands Within the Grounds
Reservations Can Be Made In
Advance IL Desired.

The folks who raised a hue and cry
about the lack Of accommodations at the
Worlds Fair and the prospects of high
prices at hotels. have had to take a back
seat, for the Worlds Fair Management
keenly alive to the fact that accommOda
tiOnS and moderate rates must be furnish
ed to the people, to assure the success of
the Fair, have built right within the
grounds a magnificent hotel, capable of
entertaining tens Of thousands of visitors.
This hotel which is called The Inside Inn
surpasses in size, in general equipments
and in cOnVentenceS anything ever before
attempted in the way Of worlds fair ac-
commodationS. 1t stands in the southeast
corner of the grounds, 200 feet above the
level Of the city and is readily reached
from the Union Station by the Market
ST. Laclede and Couteau Ave car lines
means of the 1ntramural Railway which
passes its doors. 1t is three stories high
with broad veTandas extending round the
entire building. 1t is 400 feet wide and
800 feet long, contains 2,257 bedrooms
and has dining room capable of sea ting
$500 people at a single meal. The inn
IS run on both the American and European
plans, and the rates vary from $3.50 to
$3.50 per day European, and from SO. 90
to $500, American. including admission
in both classes. The range of prices is
determined solely by the size and location
of the rOoms-all guests having equal din
ing room privileges. To those whose visit
TO the Exposition must be short, the con-
venience of thus living within the grounds
cannot be overeStimated. All Wearisome
and annoying street car or suburban train
service is avoided and no admission fee
other than the first is required. The saw
ing thus effected is obvious. The enor-

ample accommodations for all-no matter

The young men who wanted a speak

It is curious to observe the different
effects which the varioue articles OF
intelligence have on different persons.
Thus one individual will turn up
his nose at an article on manufactures
and railroads and look for paragraphs
on more frivolous subjects. One de-
lights in tale of slander; another In
an essay replete with pious instruction.
One in ecstacies at meeting with a
violent political article. Another
eschews politics and looks for romantic
incidents and stories. One searches
for scientific information and another
sups at q humorous anecdote or conum-
drum. One devourS with eagerness
whatever relates TO war and military
glory, while another reads with delight
every paragraph illustrating the bless
inRs of peace. One likes the paper
because it chronicles all the births
and another takes it because it
contains list of deaths. One stops
the paper because it contains too
much religious matter and another
returns it because it presents start
ling array OF incidents that portray
human weakness. The poor deluded
person who kicks because the paper
contains too much OF this or that does
not realize that the editor has only to
step around the corner where he will
be congratulated because the article In
question was printed.-Green Bay
