Friends Do Heroic Work.

in the Aldermanlc contest in the Fifth

The people Of the Heights, ire
Hpective of political affiliations are
working like one man for Mr. McEwen's
election. It is not so much of a per-
sonal matter as it is local pride that
is prompting solid action on the part
of Heights people.
OF course there will be opposing
votes. No man can expect to carry this
precinct unanimously. There would
be- something wrong with his makeup
If he had no enemies. There never was
a positive man in politics but what had
some strong friends and likewise some
very bitter enemies.
A very good friend of ours said the
other day that he could not vote for
us because he was "rock-ribbed' Re-
publican. We would suggest that the
word "antiquated' be substituted for
'rock-ribbed." In up-to-date munich

to drop partyism, and look entirely at
the ability and integrity Of the can
didate. In this manner we have ben
able to receive very good local cavern
nrent here. How different is this from
the party government Of Republican
Philadelphia and Democratic Sa. Louis
and New York, where corruption has
run riot because Of a strong party
feeling among the voters.
Duluth has a clean city government
Almost every citizen recognizes this,
and it is due to the independent pol
itical spirit Of the voters. Mr.. Nc
Even expects good endorsement from
the people of the Heights. He believes
he has earned it because he has done
| things for this community that no non
resident Alderman will be capable of
| doing.
