THE APPROACHING ELECTION

Then there will probably be Tax
payers" ticket This party this year
will probably not pledge its candidates
to license saloons, as that question
will be taken out of the councils
hands by the local option vote, though
its sympathy will be on that side of
the question.
This condition will no doubt result
in the Taxpayers getting up a better
ticket than ever before as many busi-
ness men have shrunk from standing
on ticket of party whose sole OBJ
ject was to elect councilmen pledged
to open saloons.
And that fact will influence the Re-
form party to put forward its very
best business men, for it will be recog-
nized that this will be a campaign on
the merits of the candidates more than
ever before,
These conditions ought to work out
for the great benefit OF the city
On one thing happily we all agree
that the city officials ought to be the
very best business men in the town.
The mayor and city council can do
much or little to build up a city. ac-
cording to their capacities or dis
positions.
The two principal things before the
city. perhaps. are to have the laws
enforced on the saloon question and
to get the waterworks system COM
pleted as rapidly and economically as
possible.
But there are many other matters
of Importance coming before the may
or and city council. that require busi-
nesslike ability. good Judgment. tact.
and a willingness to labor for the pub

best business men ~ never before.
