Years Record Fine.

Those wlseacres in the Demo
cratic camp who are paving the air
about the management Of the ,city's
finances under an able Republican
administration would do well to take
a few minutes on some afternoon and
look over the c!ty's account books,
which they will find, carefully adult
ed and in their proper places, in the
city building.
Among a number Of creditable
things in favor Of the present ad-
.ministration win be found some fig
ures showing that the present admin
istration with its skillful manage
ment has at a comparatively low cost
accomplished much toward %lessening
the city's Indebtedness and at the
same time has provided a consider
able amount of needed improvements
during the fiscal year not yet ended.
The city's books will show that $21,-
600 of the city's Indebtedness has
been liquidated for one thing. Then
it win be found THAT $4,000 in i'm
provements have been made on the
city water works system. OF this
$4,000 was spent for a new pump
and $4,000 in constructing an addi-
ton to the water works pumping sta
tion. Besides these things It will be
found that a considerable amount of
street paving has been done within
the year. About ten squares Of city
streets have been laid with brick and
put in excellent condition. Lack OF
space prevents a tabulatIon here at
this time of many other improve
ments that have been made within
the year, but suffice to say that per-
haps more has actually been done
this year with the inadequate means
at hand than was ever before ac-
complished in a similar period in the
history.

many Democratic votes. The city Is
normally Republican and never turns
the majority party down, whenA the
contest Is confined to party lines. such
as Is the case this time. A straight
Democratic ticket is therefore never
in the ascendency; hence has no
chance of election. as we find from a
careful survey OF the situatIon for
the Information and benefit OF Tele-
gram readers, though we do not say
this with any desire to create over
confidence or to make claims not to
be safely and firmly backed up. All
the Republican ticket needs. as we
see It, is TO see that the vote Is poll
ed, to which It is entitled. and VIC
tory win be proudly perched on its
banner the evening OF April 4.

Un ApnInst II.

The Democratic ticket is up against
hopeless cause. The organization,
better known as the clique, does not
hope TO win. 1t merely has the In
tentlon of trying to re-estalfsh a
Democratic party in the city, for
years demoralized and for all prac-
teal purposes extinct, so that the
party as a whole in the county may
be able to put up some sort OF
fight in the fall. 1t hopes to get
every Democratic vote this spring on
that account, hut will find itself
keenly disappointed, as city Demo-
Gratis are looking more to the inter
ests of the city now than TO- building
up the Democratic party in a cam
paign that Is hopeless so far as the
county is concerned. And, Republic
cans are too loyal to party and prin-
elple to come to the aid of the Dem
ocratic organization in its efforts to
further the interests of itself and
parry to the detrlment of the Repub-
lican party. Thus, is 1t readily seen
that the Democratic city ticket is
strictly up against the real thing.

CLIQUE COLLECTS Doodle.

The Democratic cliquesters have
been caught with the goods on them
again. They loudly acclaim for hon
est elections, denounce the use Of
Doodle and booze in elections and af-
feet the pure and indebted. But,
has that organization been
caught busily engaged in collecting
a Doodle fund. What for? To con-
tamlnate the ballot box, to corrupt
the voters, and yet they have the gall
to denounce such methods.
There is every reason to believe,
in fact We know it. that the Demo-
cratic clique has authorized one or
more persons 10 act as its mediums
in soliciting and collecting campaign
funds. An incident or two yesterday
proved 1t beyond successful contra.
dictlon and they do not dare deny ii.
and be believed.
Those delegated to collect such
funds were busy at it yesterday and
they expect to get much of it from
soutces that are to be promised i'm
munity, places which will he given
privileges, and the like
Among those delegated TO collect
such Doodle funds is a man, who it
in close touch with the committee
and the Democratic end Of the cam-
naign at this time and has taken an
active part up to date. His name
need not be mentioned, but he is
merely lluded to here to show that
we know absolutely what we are talk
ing about. In his case 1t happened
yesterday. whe he himself at a GER
tain place and by certain requests
plain for doodle money for the cam
paign-revealed, along with the ac-
tions Of others, the plan Of the CLIQUE
to pollute the ballot box.
This is, indeed. enough to expose
completely the lack of sincerity on
the part Of that bunch that is for
V e and ever proclaiming for a pure
and honest election. The exposure
dampens their ardor alright and dis

Mr.. Lynch for Mayor.


There Is every reason to know that
Truman J.. Lynch will measure up
proudly to the requirements of an
ideal mayor. His service in the coun-
ell this year has been beyond human
estimate. He has measured up be,
yond the expectations or his friends
in rendering good, efficient, business
service, but there never was the
slightest reason to suspect that IT
would be otherwise in his case, TAX
ing into consideration the fact that
he is a gentleman Of fine business in
tegrity and acumen, as his. success in
business demonstrates. As chairman
Of the finance committee, member Of
the street committee and counselor
in the meetings of the council he has
been careful. buslness-lIke and ever
eyinced keen interest in the admin
istration Of city Affairs SO as to give
the people the worth OF their money.
There is no discount on him as a
careful, shrewd business man. with
a spirit Of %liberality characteristic Of
progressiyeness such as the rapidly
growing city Of clarksburg needs at
all times.
The candidacy of Mr.. Lynch as
suredly appeals to all voters who de-
sire a greater C~larksburg. g8s such
men as he at the head df city
government can do and win much
to further the growth Of the city.
Its affairs will be Jooked after with
jealous personal attention and moth
ing Will be left undone to advance
c%larksburg with all legitimate speed
to greater greatness. Every thought
full man, irrespective Of political af-
citations, certainly looks upon Mr..
Lynch's candidacy with favor, IL that
man desires progress and greater
things for his city.
With such high recommendations
It Is the next thing to sheer foolish
ness to entertain other ideas than
that Mr.. Lynch Will be trlumphantly
elected. He is one in whom the peo-
pie Of Clarksburg as a business man
and citizen place their implicit CON
fdence and they do not believe he
would fail them as mayor of this
great city.

Winning Ticket for Council.

No long study of the question is
essential to the correct conclusion
that the Republican nominees for
city council viii meet with popular
approval of their candidates.. The
situation in the various wards is
conclusive even now and the cam
paign as it develops will show this
situation even more aattering.
Even were the opponents to re-
ceive every one of their party votes,
which they will not do, there would
yet be spared a big majority in most
of the wards and a safe majority in
all the wards for the Republican
nominees. But, the Republican
need not count upon even
a slight loss of their party vote,
and they r assured of a good

Editor ogden's Gall.

Ogden, who Yields the shears for
the Wheeling Intelligencer. gives a
sublime display of gan by persistent
ly referring to men who have been
Republicans all their lives, as RE
publicans for selfish reasons simply
because they differ from the Intelli-
gencer gang as to the proper person
to nominate for an office. Up until
the past year this same Ogden was
a tarIr-for-revenue-only Democrat.
He shifted his loose allegiance solely
for the reason that he made money
in doing so. He is wholly and al
together a Republican for revenue.
II the revenue ceased he would cease
to be a Republican instanter. For
a man of this stripe to continuously
misrepresent lifelong Republicans,
and charge them with ~selfshness in
adhering to their party, is the most
cheeky exhibition Of pure and UNI
a~dulterated gall ever called to our at
tention.

INDUSTRIAL AGENT FOR O, S. l.
Passenger Agents VIII Be Replaced
by New Official

An Industrial agency may be es-
tablished by the oregon Short Line
in Boise, doing away with the office
of district passenger agent, accord
ing to Assistant General Freight
Agent F. II. Plaisted, who is in Boise
spending a few days, says the Boise
Statesman. o
Mr.. Plaisted also brings the news
that work will soon commence on the
Northwestern road, which up until
the time of the panic was building.
Vice President and General Manager
Bancroft visited Huntington in regard
to this matter Monday, stopping in
Boise on his way back to Salt Lake.
Just how soon work is to begin again
on the road from Huntington up the
Snake river or how large force
would be put on, Mr., Plaisted was not
able to say.
The matter of establishing an in
dustrial agency in Boise in place of
the district passenger and freight
agents office is being considered
quite earnestly by officials of the
road.
If such an office is established in
Boise, and 1t is believed 1t will be as
1t is far more important than a dis
trict passenger and freight agents
office, both to the railroad and the
people of Idaho, there will be several
assistants to the agents who will con-
unually keep in touch with what is
peing done by the commercial clubs
and other like organizations that are
helping to build up the west at a re-
markable rate.
1t Will be his business to travel
much of the time and know what is
being done where there are openings
for people wishing different lines of
business, and have general source
OF information that the average
person wishing to settle in this part
or the country would care to know.
The work done by the district pas
senger and freight agent will be large
ly cared for by travelling agents.
Much more of this work is done now
py travelling men than several years
ago.

NO WEDDING BELLS FOR HER.
Ohio Woman Refuses to Wed When
She Sees Ia Grandc Man.

She Sees la Grande Man.
A correspondent at La Grande says
of wedding which failed at that
place this week:
Henry Shaefer, who has a ranch at
the head of Missouri Hollow. near
Pumpkin Ridge, was almost married
the other day He would have been
II his prospective bride had not sud
denly developed a case OF "cold feet"
and FLEW the coop"
II seems Henry advertised in mat
rlmonial Journal for a spouse and by
this medium got in communication
with Mrs. Hadley of Ohio She came
to La Grande last Thursday and was
met by Mr. Shaefer at the depot. As
1t was too late to get a marriage IL
cense they hired cab and drove out
to Mr. Shaefer's brothers home at
Island City, where they spent the
night.
The next day they came in to ge,
married. at least that is what Shae-
fer thought, but Mrs Hadley evident
ly had other plans She brought all
her things with her, and on reaching
here told her affinity" that oregon
would never be "home. sweet home"
for her and that she longed to get
back to Ohio, as the country did not
look good to her.
Henry was completely upset on
hearing this, but manfully took his
medicine and finding her determined
to go, bought her ticket and sent
her on her way.
