Sailors are tender-hearted and love
pets. Every ship has its mascot--a
cat, dog, pig, goat or some other ami
nal. Sometimes the most inharm0n-
Ious animals become friends from the
close association which ship life com

on board q ship and piggy became

SHARTEL IS CLEAN GUT
AND TRUSTWORTHY man
Democratic Candidate for
Alderman in Fourth Ward
Good Aldermanic Timber
His Opponent, A. J. Lyle,
Adopts Anticipated Tactics
Against Union Labor Man

Joseph shartel, the Democratic cam
didate for Alderman in the Fourth
ward Is putting up most strenuous
fight for election against the present
incumbent, A. ]. Lyle. Union labor
Is vitality interested in this campaign
in this ward. Both aspirants for poll
teal honors are members of bona
f1de' labor organizations. and both
have enjoyed more or less prominence
in tho labor movement.
. Mr. Lyle is member of the Boiler
makers union, but has not worked
at his trade for many years. He IS
now an employing printer and until
recently was hotel proprietor Mr..
Shartel is a member Of the Cfgar-
makers union: is employed at his
trade with the Tom Reed cigar fac
tory; Is chairman Of the State Gen.
tral Political committee Of the Minne-
sofa State Federation Of Labor, and
was president Of the Duluth Trades
Assembly for the past two years.
No Question Of Unionism.
The unionism of either candidate
cannot be questioned in this news
paper. 1t was not generally known
that Mr.. Lyle was a member of a.
trade union until he became a candt-
date for Alderman two years ago, and
ne made his campaign on that issue.
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1907-01-26

Mr. 'Shartel has been an active men,
ber of union labor ever since coming
to the city.
But we are not espousing the cause
or any candidate on the simple ground
that he carries a union card. It re-
quires something more than piece
Of paste board at a fixed price per
month, to be a capable and useful
public official. We seek the election
of men who stand for the things that
organized labor stands for. We want
to see men elected to the common
council Of this city who are friends
of the people, rather than to the pub
lice service corporations who are ever
seeking favor from our aldermen.
Duluth for Municipal Ownership.
Duluth is municipal ownership
city. We own our own gas plant, and
the time is soon to come when we
shall own our own electric sl.ghting
plant, and We want men In the city
council who will stand erect, and use
their influence to bring this about. It
is easy for candidate for public Of
flee to say that he believes in NUM-
cipal ownership, but the real test is
made when he is put up against the
proposition, when the smooth and
suave representative of a corporation
attempts to influence him, when his
vote is taken on every evasive meas
ure calculated to prolong the life of
private ownership and private greed.
During the contest in the city coun-
Gil last August between the city and
al 1kSS@ l~f>A
when = renewal Of tl:c street
lighting contract was under considera-
tion, a mere handful Of aldermen
stood out for material reduction in
the prices charged to private consum-
ers. When the question of cheap
lighting hung in the balance, no citi-
zen Of Duluth contributed more to the
cause Of the people than did Mr..
Joseph Shartel, who interviewed every
alderman, reminding them OF pledges
they had made before election, and
soliciting their support for cheap
lights for the working people, and
short time contract to enable the
city to promote its own lighting plant.

Mr.. Shartel stands before the voters
" IAAe L ouILH WdrO To-Day as the reD-
resentative of the best type of the
Duluth workingman. He is honest,
and If he possessed no other qualif1-
cation this one virtue should insure
his election: But he is more than
honest. He Is intelligent. He is a
student, and his wide knowledge of
economics Is matter of general COM
ment among his friends. He is care
ful, conservative and exacting to a
degree, and what better material than
this Is wanted in the city council?
AS. to these characteristics OF Mr..
Shartel, we give them to our readers
in the Fourth ward upon our honor.
We know that there are many people
In this ward, as there are IN every
ward, who are fearful Of voting for a
man for public office who has strong
connections with union labor. But no
man. no matter how prejudiced he
may be, need fear q man Of the type
OF Mr.. shartel whose reputation tor
