Ham Oughtn't to Run.

Mr.. Editor
Some people are trying to get Mr.
Eugene Ham selected to serve on the
city council This IS not right These
people don't understand about poll
tias. They seem to think because
Mr. Ham is a good business man,
and large property owner, and a sen
sfble man, who has never asked for
any office. that he would make a good
member of the council, and will try
to look after the peoples business and
cut down taxes, and reduce salaries.
This hasn't anything to do with the
case, and people that think SO dom:
understand anything about elections
The question is whether he is go
ing to keep the old city officers ii
and keep the salaries up; whether he
is going to vote for Our quiet effici
.ent marshal, and Our political over
worked, and underpa;d engineer. for
re-election; for Mr. Watt or some en-
pleyee OF his, as city treasurer Is
he, going to permit the running OF
the municipality protected crap game
on Walnut street and the 1egalized
poker game on Washington Avenue
These are the things that have all
been arranged, and if Mr. Ham ain
Tor them he has no business butting
in. The other gentlemen that are
rl:nning, were Stated by three or
four men, .nd they are going to vote
for the men agreed upon for the of.
fices, and everything is going to be
harmonious on the council.
Nobody has thought anything about
what kind of eouncilmen they are
going to make. They have been Sc
! leeted because it IS known who they
arc going - vote for.
It is sclear that some people are s.
/ fashioned as never to get it in +
their heads that elections are held fol

/ holders. They still seem to think
that the people, whose money is Il

about it, and he oughtn't to ruin.

HOW TO BRING ABOUT
NORMAL CONDITIONS.

The country while recovering from
the DISASTROUS money calamity, IS
still feeling the effect to a great ex
tent. In some localities the 5trin-
gency of money is not felt SO keenly
as in other sections, but its blight
has left its mark over all, and to rem
edy this condition, to promote the
resumption of normal business con-
ditions, is a matter that is being dis
cussed by the financiers all over
the United States.
In this regard the board of diree
tors of the Merchants Association, of
New York,recently passed the follow
ing resolutions which were unani-
mously adopted. These resolutions
