Splendid Testimonia to Alder
man McEweA-No Party
Politics in City Affairs.

Joseph w. Reynolds, one of Duluth
most prominent attorneys, has without
| any solicitation on the part of Mr..
McEwen, sent the following letter to
number Of his friends in the Fifth
Ward. We publish it in this issue for
the benefit of our readers. We desire
| to call the attention of the voters to
| that part of the letter quoting the es-
innate of Watson S. Moore for Mr..
| McEwen. The letter is ais follows:
Dear Sir:
Without solicitation from any one
! and solely in the interest of good gov
eminent In our city, I take the liberty
to write to urge you to support Mr..
VIM. e. McEwen for election as al
derman of the Fifth Ward. On ac-
count Of sickness Mr.. McEwen is un-
able to give his personal attention to
his campaign, and it thus becomes the
duty of those who favor his election
to see that his cause should not entire
ly be neglected. 49,.
His Position With Labor.
"Mr. McEwen is one Of the prominent
leaders Of organized labor in this city,
and as such has both the confidence of
his associates and the respect of those
not so Identified. The laboring class
is an important part Of our population
and it seems only just that it. should
| have representation in our city govern
ment. No fairer, more conservative
or intelligent representative could be
expected or desired than Mr.. McEwen
has shown himself to be- In the per-
formance of his duties as alderman he
has been honest, .diligent and faith
full. No higher tribute can be paid to
an official"
Mr.. Moore,s Testimonial.
| Mr.. Watson s. Moore, q, fellow aid
ernan and a lifelong Republican, has
authorized me- TO- say foE him.
Il. have found Alderman w. E. Nc
Even to be an able honest and upright
man in every way; faithful to the in.
terests Of his constituents, and at all
times on the side Of the .city's inter
ests. The council cannot afford tc
lose him" ::~".....
There should be no party politics
in city affairs. Honesty and eff1cienc.
should be the only necessary require
ments of candidates. President Roose.
Welt has said on this subject:
Rooeevet on lnQcPehoont ACTION.
| 1.-THE worst evils that affect our 10.
cal government arise from and are in
evitable results of the mixing up OF
city affairs with the party politics OF
the nation and of the state. The lines
upon which national parties divide
have no necessary connection. with the
business Of the city. Such connection
opens the way to countless schemes
Of public plumber and civic corruption
Il believe that we. are contributine
to the welfare. not only Of the Fifth
Ward, but Of the whole city when we
return Mr.. w. E. McEwen to the coun-
Gu and hope you Will. help toward
that result.
