CANDIDATES
ARE ANXIOUS

E The mere hint that the merchants
are to take n hand in the next cam
I paign was sufficient to start the goose
flesh on the skin of some of the can
. didates yesterday. Up to date forty
four persons have announced them
! selves candidates for divers and sun
r dry offices and each man. including
Vida, believes he is entitled to the full
) est consideration by the voters.
1T is one of the best things so far
done" said Fort street merchant yes
terday, after the meeting. land you
noticed that the planks suggested may
be inserted in the platform of any
party. That win give Achi a chance
to fix his. / realize more fully than
ever the necessity for prompt and
effective action on the part of the peo-
pie to break the machine. We thought
the times required ii when the Civic
| Federation was brought into existence
| but the conditions of year ago were
| not circumstance to those of today"
And there will be n hundred other
| good business men to say Amen to
that. Under the machine rule where
the departments of local government
are controlled by machine, clean
politics IL out of the question.
Frank Archer has been prevailed up
on not to appeal from the decision of the
county committee. His friends tell him
that having been fired from the ranks |
of the Republican party he can be an |
Independent candidate with impunity |
and no one dare say nay. 1t Is under |
stood that Archer is a stronger can
didate than De Fries and will probably /
be elected
LOWS SUPPORTER.
Senator McCandless apparently justi-
fies Manager Lows action In packing |
the precinct club and primary by say
ing Archer's men voted anyone who
offered a ballot and Low could do the
same. And yesterday the rumor was
in circulation that Archer had person
ally spent 5000 on his election. This has
been traced and 1t Is said by the de-
feated mans friends that Archer's total
expense was $S25. Albert Warehouse
may press his appeal to the Central
Committee where he hopes to have n
better recognition.
