Bonde hall was we'll filed by inter-
ested citizens last Monday evening in
response to a call for public mass
meeting to consider what action should
be taken in regard to the approaching
city election. Hon A. E Rice was
chosen as chairman of the meeting.
The choice for secretary fell upon V.
E. Lawson. The chairman stated the
object of the meeting.
DR.. johnson was called for and
made strong speech, dwelling prfn-
cipally upon the proposed bond issues
and the telephone question. He re-
called the fact that he was one of the
board of aldermen who had acted on
the telephone franchise when it first
came up ten years ago, and he had
been one OF those who opposed giving
a franchise extending for a long term
of years. Now he was surp1 ised. to,
learn thru local newspaper that the
company did not expect to apply for
a new franchise for the reason that it
had acquired perpetual right by
reason of it's large Investments. The
Doctor secuted the idea, and asked
the editor of the paper in question,
who was present, where he had secured
the information. This question the
latter evaded. The Doctor also
brought up the manner in which the
ticket, already in the field, had orig
mated and asked for information from
any one present. He said that as far
as he knew those named we're good
men, but he desired to know whether
they had become candidates on their
own initiative or who had asked them
to run. The Doctor stated that it had
always been customary in Willmar
for years past to call citizens eau
GUS to discuss city affairs and place
) men in nomination for city offices, and
he believed that was the right thing to
do,
5 Professor Hilleboe was called on for
remarks, and responded by simply
reading the comments in the Willmar
Journal on the telephone and license
issues.
"a. S., Peterson made some pointed
remarks in which he took occasion to
score the present council for granting
saloon licenses only to outside cor
porations and passing by home people
who owned buildings and were paying
taxes on them. He also spoke on tax
alton, and stated that the schoolboard
should be given credit for large part
of the reduction in city taxes, as there
was no heavy $5,0oo.00 levy for high
school building this year. II
The following resolutions were then
introduced by Peter Freeberg. Doc
tor Johnson spoke in favor of their
adoption, and ON the motion being
put, it was carried by unanimous vote.
We. the citizens and taxpayers OF
for the purpose of considering munich
" pal issues before the coming election,
hereby decla1 e.: -. -ss.:sSs s:s :5.}
First, We emphatically condemn the
method by which part of city ticket
\ has already been placed III the field.
We believe the purpose of pomina ating
4 s ticket in this manner is for the OBJ
iect of personal control of city affair
and not for the best interests Of the
city. ..3....5#5

Carlsbad, y. NJ, Dec. 22.---Governor
Curry and party arrived here this
morning and spent the day visiting
friends in Carlsbad and calling on
business men i'm the interests of the
irrigation congress at Albuquerque.
No public meeting was held although
the people were anxious to hear the
governor speak. The business men
of Carlsbad have pledged their unan-
imous and hearty support to the irri-
cation congress, as have all other
towns in the Pecos valley. That the
valley will fill its 5000 feet of space
at the exposition is certain and its
cash contribution toward the expense
of the congress will undoubtedly sur
pass the generous sum promised at
the big meeting in Roswell, The
trip through the Pecos valley has been
a tremendous success in every way.
The irrigation congress men have
secured everything they came for.
The governor has met hundreds of his
old friends and has placed the state
hood question squarely before the
people of the valley. who are salts
fled with the situation and ready and
willing to do everything they can to
help at home or i'm Washington. AT
Artesia al<.ne the Commercial club
proposes to pay the expenses of de-
legate to Washington should he be
necessary.
Governor Curry and party will leave
for Albuquerque Monday morning at
4 o'clock, arriving in Albuquerque at
on Monday.

Trade Expected to Improve e

Full Revival Is Not Looked
For Until After Election,
tBy Morning journal Special Leased wire.I


Boston, Dec. 22.-The opening OF
the last full week of the year finds
conservatism predominating in alt
New Eigland industries, but there is
no feeling of hopelessness apparent
anywhere and the general sentiment
appears to be that trade will partially
recover during 1908, though full
revival is not looked for until after
the presidential election. As this city
is the center Of the wool, hide, leathe.,
boot and shoe and shoe machinery
trades of the United States, and nearly
hundred cotton and woolen mills
have their head offices In Boston, the
commercial situation in the country at
large is usually accurately reflected
here New England banks stood the
financial strain better than institutions;
in other sections, only three banks be
ing compelled to close. OF these, one
has resumed and a second is making
arrangements to do SO. IL Is gener-
ally admitted that the financial out
look Is Frightening.
