A Statement

On Friday, Feb. 4th. the Watertown
Leader took it upon itself, without any
authority, to mention the fact that a
business man of this city might be per-
suaded to run for the mayOralty in the

point, such statement is regarded as a
Joke, and he asks that all the readers of
the last Fridays Week.. Leader also re-
gard if as such. E. W. SCHULTZ.

Petitions Being Circulated

Petitions are being circulated in the
city, asking that the question of license
or no license be submitted to the electors
in this city at the spring election. The
question involved is not license or no
license, but simply the submission of
the question to the voters, and at the
polls, each voter can, as he may be in
clined, vote for or against license. 1t
would be well to submit the question
and have it out Of the way and to that
