The Minneapolis mayoralty contest
has been attracting attention from all
over the state. ! All good citizens have
been earnestly hoping for the renomi-S
nation Of Mayor Jones, because of the
stand he has taken for the betterment
of the city. The state OF morality ex
listing in the metropolitan city Of our
state is a matter of interest to all citi-
zens Of the state, and it Is a matter
Of pride to all who are interested in
promoting good morals that Minneapolis
scored the victory she has in the re-
nomination Of the present mayor. A
campaign backed by the entire strength
of the liquor interests has been waged
against him, but the lovers of good
government united, both republicans
and democrats, and after a hard-fought
battle succeeded in defeating these in
terests. The result is credit to the
city. ( 5..~: = '.....,.,. .---..s- - 90

Principle Versus Politics.

The defeat Of Congressman Buchanan
and the success Of Mayor Jones in the
primary election should encourage all
citizens who believe in electing men to
office whose characters are above re-
proach, and who are true to the people.
There are many men who never run for
office, but who take an interest in poll
tics solely for the good they can do.
Sometimes the voters are Indifferent,
sometimes they make mistakes, and
these tend to discourage those who are
endeavoring to promote the cause OF
good government rather than advantage
for some political party. At other times
the reward for we'll directed endeavor
is ample, like in the cases cited. ~.

wickedest city in the state, an opinion
which must be revised and held in

ties, assisted bv those who will brook
no restraint, no lid, may possibly join

was at Minneapolis where Mayor Jones
was pitted against DR.. Williams for
the position of mayor. During the ad-
ministration Of Jones he has enforced
the law, with vigor and kept the sa-
looms tight on Sundays and suppressed

of Minneapolis whether they wanted to
continue such policy and up to going
to press it seems that Jones has won
out by small vote.
