total of 271 electors enrolled. Reg
istry Agent Kleinoeder will reopen
the great book next Saturday from l
to and from to O'Clock to register
those who were unavoidably prevented
from registering during the regular

Little Interest has been manifested
thus far in the election, but late de-
velopments indicate lively contest
for the mayoralty and for aldermen.
Petitions have been filed with Clerk
r. C. Parnentcr nominating William

ticket and F. H. DriEkcnberg OH the
"Municipal" ticket.

and John o. Lagerquist. In the third
ward two aldermen are to be elected
and three candidates, M. j. Flaherty,
w. E. McGlauf1in and Frank Wallin
are in the field.
The candidates from the Riverview
addition are making an aggressive
campaign, they being particularly de-
sirous of removing the red light dis
trict to less conspicuous quarters and
away from the residence sections.
They also want the water mains ex-
tended, to assure fire protection and
other improvements.
There being no opposition to this
program on the part of the citizens of
the old parts of town, and Mr.. Steih
and his associates on the Citize ms
ticket being most heartily in favor OF
all measures calculated to advance
the moral and material interests OF
the entire community, there is really
as matter of fact, no issue at stake;
and the voters are merely called upon
to choose between the opposing can
didates with view to selecting the
best men for the offices. All are
