CITY TICKET


There is but one ticket for city Of
ficers, the candidates all filing as re-
publicans. and the candidates are a
representative lot of citizens, all good
men but they cannot all be elected.
Mayoralty Candidates.
Ed. S. Russell and C. B. Halbert
are mayoralty candidates. Both have
served as city councilmen and both
are familiar with the civic matters
in progress. Ed. S. Russell. the first
candidate to file, has made Wenat-
chez his home for the past eleven
years. His career here is typical of
many of the successes made in the
Wenatchee valley. Mr.. Russell and
wife were engaged in the theatrical
business for years. About eleven
years ago they heard of Wenatchee
and made small investment here.
Their summers for several years
were spent here but their winters
were spent on the road with a the
atrical company. Mr.. RusselPs in
vestment appreciated in value and he
increased his holdings, and by judi
cious handling and attention to bust
ness he has accumulated consider
able property. He is a public spirit
ed citizen and was one of the men
very instrumental in building and
furnishing the Commercial Club and
his personal donations to the COM
mercial organization amounted to
considerably over $1,000 During
the past six years he has given
great deal of attention to civic mat
ters, serving on one of the most i'm
pOrtant committees of the city coun-
Gil He is alive to the needs of the
city, and if elected mayor would
government as he has made as men,
make just as good head of the city
Der of the city council.
c. B. Halbert, his opponent, has
made success of fruit growing in
the valley as we'll as in business in
the city. He has taken an active
part in the work of the city council
and would be a safe man in the
chair.
City Clerk.
There are two candidates for city
clerk, Lee r. Gillette and Charles
A. Wildberger. Mr.. Gillette was for
years a member of the firm cf Fiske
& Gillette, a heating and plumbing
firm. and is at the present time one
of the city sewer inspectors. He is
a good clerical man, graduate of
the state college and is we'll fitted
for the Office to which he aspires. His
Charles H. Wildberger, is
one of the pioneers of the city. He
was for a time connected with the
Columbia Valley bank, but for sew
eral years has been with the Wenat
chez & Rock Island Warehouse COM
pany. Either man would make a
good successor to Clerk Sumner.
No Opponent for Attorney or Treas
urer.
Neither Sam r. Sumner for clerk
and R. H. Nowlan, for treasurer,
have opponents. o. M. Thomason's
name will appear on the ballot for
attorney as an opponent to Mr.. Sum-
ner, but he has announced his with
drawal and in fact has moved from
the city to Pullman.
COuncilmen at Large.
There are three candidates for
at large. F. c. Lemon.
J. H. Ferryman and l.. T. Armstrong.
Mr.. Lemon is at present member of
the city council and has rendered
very efficient service in that body.
The past year has been a construct
i've period for the city and Mr.. Lem
on has sought at all times to get to
the bottom of all propositions that
come up for consideration. He has
been considered one of the
strong men of the council.
J. H. Ferryman is pioneer resi-
dent of the city, living on West
Orondo avenue. He is engaged in
the wood and coal business in the
city and has large property interests
here.
l.. T. Armstrong lives on Orondo
avenue. Last year he was employed
as one of the inspectors and is very
familiar with the construction work
of the city.
COuncilmen for First Ward.
A. l.. Hill has no opposition as a
candidate for the one year term as
from the First ward. j.
W. Sussex and Ben Lowe are rivals
for the second year term. Mr.. Sus-
sex is a we'll known architect and
Ben Lowe is in the grocery business.
Either one of these men would give
the city good service.
COunciImen for Second Ward.
There are three candidates for the
two year term in the Second ward, |
Walter L. Mosley, w. r. Wilson and
DR.. L. F. Buck.
