Now comes the municinal e,et

Now comes the municipal election.
Next Monday the people will be called
upon to decide upon the officers that
shall have the affairs Of the city in
charge for the coming year. This is
and important question and should be
settled purely upon the qualifications
OF the candidates to best carry on the
work in the interest of the city. We
feel that the majority of the citizens of
Devils Lake will agree with us when
we say that the man who can do the
city the most good as mayor is the
present incumbent Mr. Frank N. Whit
man. He has been a competent official
in every sense of the word. He has
saved the city probably more money
than any mayor it has ever had, by
his judicious discharge of his official
duty and strict attention to the work
being done throughout the municipali-
ty. Mr.. Whitman has taken an inter-
est in the affairs O; Devils Lake as

pusher for Devils Lake and it is a
certainty that he always will be so
long as he is a resident here. He is
familiar with every detail of the work
planned for the coming season, there
is no one who is more familiar with it.
He asks the people OF the city to re-
elect him that he may see the work
he has started finished as it
has been planned and with the least
possible expense to the tax payers.
Will he be reelected? Most assuredly
he will. The people of this thriving
city know good thing when they see
it, and if there ever was good thing
for the city Frank is it. Watch the
votes pile in for, F. N. Whitman for
mayor and after 1t is all over watch
this same Frank N. Whitman pull off
his coat, roll up his sleeves, and push
Devils Lake along.

Things are commencing to boom IN
Devils Lake and in a few weeks all

building costs the tax payers abso-
lutely nothing. The two mill tax is
for the purpose Of maintaining the
library after it is constructed. 1t Is
estimated that the tax asked will raise
$1,500.00 annually which amount is
necessary to get the donation of ten
times that amount from the great phil
anthrophist.
When it is taken into consideration
that the two mill tax cannot be burd-
ensome to us all, and it will give our
city a fine new building and a library
that will be a credit to us. Had we
nothing but personal interest in this
it would surely be sufficient incent-
i've for the appropriation, but when
we look further to the good it will be
to our school system and the public
generally, it surely must appeal to all
persons who wish to see Devils Lake
the best city in this part of the coun-
try.
1t is up to us all to push for Devils
Lake, the time is ripe for us to keep
on with our onward growth, and here
is chance where we have the oppor-
tunity to either push or hold back.
Where are you, pushing or holding
back?
