Approves Elder.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
The time is approaching for the els.
ction of two oouncilmen and mayor
under the Commission plan and the
voters OF Keokuk should be giving
sincere thought to the subject Of Sc,
lecting men who by character and fit.
ness can and will serve the commun-
ity with efficiency and fidelity.
It is with pleasure that put for
ward the name Of j. F. Elder for
mayor. Mr.. Elder is a man of large
capacity man of brains and known
honesty. He is man of financial
Judgment, clear headed, wide-awake
and thoughtful; is one of those men
who can see through things and
sift matter, clear of
non essentials and side issues and
get right at the bottom facts. He can
grasp the situation and make up his
mind and be certain of what to do.
He is one of those men of business
and affairs who is patient and pains
taking to find out the truth and then
Mn. Elder is o1e of those men whom
men of capital would choose to han
die large affairs and would pay large
sararies to on account of ability and
fitness. He is one Of those men who
could meet men of capital and bust
ness enterprise as equals and be at
home in matters of large moment. He
could be valuable to the city meet
ing wealthy men who might bring
capital and new enterprises to US.
Mr.. Elder would have the backbone
and courage to say mo- when occa-
sion required, and yet be fearless to
act when the conditions and circum-
stances demanded. | doubt whether
the whole city could be looked over
and as good a man found. Not wish
ing to disparage the claims of any
other of Keokuk's splendid men j yet
say unhesitatingly that Mr. Elder, in
my humble Judgment looms up large
as man o. worth and value to this
community
Now while it is true Mr.. Elder has
the character and personality to meet
millionaires and capitalists and tran.
sact business with them freely and
readily, yet Mr.. Elder would in no
wise be the richman's candidate. As
matter of fact Mr.. Elder is intensely
Democratic in his manner and make
up and the humblest laboring man or
woman or mechanic could easily ap'
proach him and receive the greatest
possible attention and consideration
| The richest and poorest alike would
find Mr.. Elder conscientious and
| faithful public servant ready and
willing to serve all alike.
AS the late Chas. P. Barge was the
pioneer in the water power enterprise
which means so much to Keokuli
would it not be most BETTING to elect
lJ r. Elder. the son-in-law of Mr.
Birge, as the first mayor of Keo1uh
under the new order of things?
