STRONG ARGUMENT
FOR ]. H. GRIFFITH

The necessity of selecting the best
men for the various public offices
was never more urgent than at this
time, and no man should ask the sup
port of the people in his candidacy
unless he has all the qualifications
necessary and desirable in one offer
ing himself as such cand date. The
tendency on the part of many people
to overlook the smaller offices is a
mistake. for, while some of them pay
but little, the duties required are of
such nature as to demand special
qualifications, and no one who IS not
fitted for the work can give satisfac-
ton
Capt. John H. Griffith. candidate
for Office of Custodian of Lost Tim
Der and Lumber, has had over 20
years experience IN bay work; he
thoroughly understands the duties OF
Custodian; he is honest, sober. ener-
getic and thoroughly trustworthy.
and has the ~CDe 1ence and support
the interests directly concerned
the onees who will have to pay the
Custodian for his work.

As large crowd OF army official
and citizens watched the flight of tn,
aeroplane Wright was cheered con.
stantly as he sailed about.
At one time, Just to show how easy
II was. he turned the nose of the ship
skyward, and sailed up until he
reached height estimated at 100
feet.
On account of the anemeter being
out of order the exact rate per hour
is not known, but the officials who
watched It and timed the flight, estl
mate IL at an average of 3S miles an
hour.
The greatest enthusiasm Is ex-
pressed by the army officials, who
hail Wright as the greatest aviator
the world has known, and say that
his fight makes good every statement
he ever made regarding the possibil-
tiles of the machine.
The performance OF the Wright
aeroplane this morning lnsures its
acceptance by the government under
the contract by which $4,000 will
be paid to tn eWright brothers. The
test today was not Official, but It Is
not doubted that Wright can dupli-
cate the feat at any time, and can
make the 40 miles an hour. as re-
quired, very easily on straightaway
course.
