for reelection.
This year Mr.. Alexander is again a
candidate. He .heads the Citizens

Peoples, headed by j. w. Kridelbaugh
a rising young attorney and partner in
the law firm Of Stuart & Kridelbaugh
This ticket is supported by large
number of the business men and prop.
erty owners of the city who stand fol-
progress and good government.
The committee in charge of the
Peoples campaign claims today that a
careful and thorough poll of the voters
shows beyond question that their
ticket will be victorious.
