replied that he had already taken steps
TO see that the laws are obeyed and in
formed the delegation that it is his de-
termination TO SEQ that they are.
Mr.. Webb called in Marshal Aeschli-

the strict enforcement Of the law
The closing came last Monday even

Henry Doupe Announces Himself for

City politics are not warming up as
fast as IL was thought they would
earlier in the year. In fact they are

appearances. IL looks AS if the people
are satisfied with the city ticket al
ready outlined. viz Bjork for mayor,
Gribble for clerk and Munns for treas.
urer. II there is any opposition to,this
list of.caniddates IL has not made itself
manifest yet
From surface indications il looks as
il the people are quite well satisfied
that the city is TO be in so capable
hands..as .those OF Mr.. Bjork .and are
content TO let matters stand as they
are
The second ward is the one that has
the greatest number Of vacancies "a
the office OF both supervisor and alder
man are vacant. Henry Doupe is th.
only man so far who has come forward
and announced himself unequivocally
as candidate. He is seeking the po-
sition of alderman.
There has been some mention of
John Soderman for supervisor but that
gentleman has not informed Ms OF the
truth of It.
Both.Mr. Doupe and Mr.. Soderman
are property owners in the second ward
and would be interested in the welfare
of the city.
We have been told that John Dawson
will be candidate again for supervis-
or of the third ward and that Frank
Scadden will also be a candidate TO
succee himself for alderman. Neither
OF these gentlemen have announced
themselves TO us but there seems 10 be
u well defined opinion that they will
f.be-in the race.
