CITY ELECTION NEXT TUESDAY.
Nominations all Made but Not Much
Agitation at Present.

The nominations for city and school
officers closed Wednesday night.
There doesn't seem to be much sgita-
ton over the election, which takes
place next Tuesday, but no telling how
matters might get stirred up before
election day. For some Offices there
are three candidates, named under the
following titles: Municipal Ownership
and Improvement League. Law and
Order League, and Republican. All
we're nominated by petition and the
two first named declared for municipal
ownership of public utilities, the Law
and Order League going step further
and declared for the reinforcement of
all laws" The republican" nominees
would ordinarily be taken to stand for
party policies and principles, but parti-
sanship never has counted for much
in small municipalities-in fact the
name is only adhered to because it
counts for something to those on the
ticket, even though party issues have
nothiug to do with city affairs, and
democrats are named under the repub-
lican banner. AS we understand it
the only difference between the two
Leagues is that the one declares for
more than the other The Improve.
ment League indicates what it stands
for-"improvement," for a progressive
administration. DR.. Hargens is for
that, and the many improvements he
made when he was mayor before is an
index as to what he will do again. He
is for progress and improvements; he is
active and aggressive; he will do some
thing. He will be mayor in fact as
we'll as in name. The fact that his
election seems to be a foregone con-
clusion is by no means an Indication
that the people of Hot Springs are op.
posed to ''law and order," for there are
other questions involved We believe
that all problems and questions that
affect the welfare, prosperity and hap
piness of the people of Hot Springs will
receive his honest and impartial con-
sideration and action.
