 ANDRE MAUREL JOHN KENDALL Globe is on the eve of an important city elec- ton and every voter should familiarize him. self with the candidates who have expressed a willingness to serve the people and weigh each on his record and on his merits. The Silver Belt this morning presents the names of the can didates on the democratic and those on the In dependent Non-Partisan League tickets. It is fine expose of representative citizens, and, barring politics, in some instances, it would be a rather difficult matter to make selections. The endorsement of J. D. Coplen for mayor by the non-partisan people is highly gratifying to the Silver Belt. Not because it entertained any apprehensions regarding the success of the democratic standard bearer, but because after research consuming a number of weeks, the non-partsans failed to find man who was will ing to cross swords with Mir. Coplen. The Sl- yer Belt was first to place the name of J. D. Coplen as a candidate for mayor before the peo- pie of this city. It did so because it believed him eminently qualified for the position and clean man in every respect and one who would quickly recognize his duty and perform it with out fear or prejudice. The Silver Belt, without consulting Mir. Coplen, suggested him as can didate for mayor. Mir. Coplen at first demurred He stated to the Silver Belt that he didn't care to enter into political controversy Pressed further Mir. Copen expressed willingness to make the race if he could go stripped of politics and as the candidate of the people of Globe ir- respective of party. We believed it was in the best interest of the city to accept MT. Coplen on almost any terms and the Silver Belt ven tured the suggestion of an independent ticket with MT. Coplen at its head. The Silver Belt had no other motive than to place John D. Coplen at the head of the city administration and was assured by the gentleman himself that there was no other avenue open. Later Mr. Coplen consented to make the race on the demo- cratic ticket as a party candidate. MT. Coplen IS democrat and the step was quite natural especially in the face of the fact that the party dominates in this city. It goes without saying that at the election next week Mr. Coplen will be named as the chief executive of the proms- ing city of Globe and that honor will come to himself and to the city.
 R. M. Anderson, the democratic nominee for city marshall is one of the bravest and most eff ficient officers in the southwest He has strong following and will undoubtedly carry the city by vote equally as large as that cast for him two years ago. During Mr. Andersons admin istration the city has been practically free from crime so common in other cities and the city or dinances under which he has been working have been faithfully enforced. Personally, "Bobu Anderson is one of the most popular men in
