him how vital it was at this time that
citizens of his standing and ability
take the helm of city government.
He is a busy mantle head of a
large and increasing business and
heavily interested in property of all
kinds in this city-but he consented
to take a place on the ticket because
he realized chat the city needed his
services and that someone had to
make the sacrifice necessary to give
greater Albuquerque the administra-
tion of public affairs commensurate
with the interests at stake He is the
right man in the right place and
would win on hts record alone.
Harry f. Lee, who was nominated
to succeed himself as city clerk, has
a record in that office already which
is guarantee enough of his aOility and
integrity. He has made the most ef-
ficient city clerk Albuquerque ever
mad and the affairs of that office un-
der his administration, are models of
business-like methods. He is the best
posted man in the city on the mu-
nicipal affairs of Albuquerque, and
will be one of the men who will lead
his ticket in the April election. The
MIN to the position.
These three we're strongly advocat-
ed by The Citizen from the time their
names were mentioned and the Re-
publicans could not go before the
people with better men.
Progressive CounciImcn.
The men selected for the city coun-
ell from eacn of the four wards are
all that could be desired. They all
have good records and they are all
hard workers for the upbuilding of
Albuquerque. Any public question

y. w. Hayden, for member of the
council from the First ward, has a
/ record in that office which warrants
| his return without further question
| But in addition, his ability as a busi-
ness man and his business record are
above reproach and he will undoubt-
! edly be returned by a larger majority
! than he had before.
D. II. Boatright, nominated for the
council from the Second ward, IS a
business man of ability and should
| appeal to every voter in his ward as a
man capable of assisting in admins
| tering the affairs of the city in a busi-
| ness-like, honest and economical way
! He will without doubt be elected and
! should nave no opposition.
DIR. b. II. Briggs, nominated for the
! council from the Third ward. was the

/ all times, when the City's interest
