THE MAYOR SAYS MUST

1t seems to be understood that the
hardest election fight Tuesday viii
be made in the First ward The
mayor is quoted as declaring that
I"Alderman Meehan MUST be re-
elected" Presumably His Honor
Twill do everything in his power to
compel the people OF the First ward
to obey his emphatic command, How
he intends to fierce obedience is mat
ter for some speculation,
There are various ways of making
people do what you want them to do,
or of preventing them from doing
what you do not want them. to do.
The police method in the cases of
some people who complained about
their methods or about some OF their
pet dive keepers, has been to chuck
them into Jail on Saturday evening
after court hours, hold them on bread
and water till Monday and some
times tap them on the head with a
club, But this is rude and primitive,
Probably His Honor would not favor
the use of this method in the cases
of any missionaries among the
300 registered voters of the First
ward.
There are other methods that may
strike His Honor as likely to be
more effective under the circum-
stances and one of them is persua-
sion. He has extraordinary persua-
sive powers. has the mayor. and he
has used them at times legitimately
for the city's good, for which he de-
serves credit. He is not such an
orator as his close friend Hon. Wal
ter Warder. 1t could not be said of
him that his tongue dropped mama
and could make the worse appear the
better reason to perpltx and dash
maturest counsel" Still, he has a
silver tongue" al right, all right, and
its seductive tintinnabulations have
disturbed the political atmosphere
with much violence on occasions
though with negligible results. To
what extent the voters of the First
ward shall prove to be susceptible to
the mayors eloquence tomorrow IS
also matter for speculation; but there
is strong reason to believe that the
people of the First ward will not be
in any frame of mind to listen to His
Honor's music, or to obey his man
late.

Y CANNON AND GREANEY.

During the last few days things
have been warming up a bit in the
Sixth and Seventh wards, where AL.
dermen Cannon and Greaney are can
ttidates for reelection. Friends OF
opposing candidates are strivig hard to
minimize in the minds of voters there,
the value of the signal service these
two men have rendered the people of
the entire city in their firm stand for
lower water rates. The benefits from
the measure which they helped to
mass in the city council with Alder.
man Greaney the leader in the move
ment) affect nearly every citizen in
Cairo and will be lasting. If either
OF them had wavered the ordinance
could not have been passed, and
the system of robbing the many for
the benefit of the few in the matter
of water consumption, which had
been fastened upon the people Of
Cairo by the Water company, would
have continued.
These two men have given the pub
lie faithful service not only In this
important matter but in other mat,
tiers: they gave that service freely,
because they felt pride in doing
what they knew to be for the peoples
interests; they stood firm and worked
hard for weeks, holding many con-
ferences, attending many meetings,
engaging in many controversies, in
curing the enmity OF men who Haa
been their friends-all in order that
they might secure for the people Of
Cairo fair treatment from the Cairo
Water company.
To defeat them now, and to defeat
them at the behest of the Cairo
Water Co.-and, worse still, to elect
in the place of either of them a close
friend even a family connection of
the Cairo Water Co would seem like
Shaping them in the face because of
their efficient public service and
would make the declaration that the
people appreciate faithful public ser
vice sound like hollow mockcry,
shallow pretense-a falsehood.
The people of these two wards owe
it, not only to themselves, but to the
entire community, to return these two
men to the city council, if not as a
mark of appreciation for good work,
then as rebuke to the elements
which are trying to encompass their
defeat upon various pretexts that
have no bearing on the matter at
issue in this contest.
