By Little Bow Peep.

The writer has made personal can
 yass of the business section of the city
 to get the popular voice of the peopl,
 "n the new ordinance. and il can be
 said that at least sevcnty-fiye per cent
 of the people are in favor of the same
 being passed
 one supporter of what was termed
 the opposite ticket last spring remark ed Il have been against the old coun- cil right up till now. but men who have the courage to pass such a good ordinance on the eve of election when they were taking great chances of be- Ing swamped by public opinion are good enough for me to vote for and
 I'll vote for them if they run" ! The more the people study the meas ure the more popular it becomes. for it means better men as members of the council. If there isn't seven good men running why 1t is up to the voters to ge: out and get a goodly number. J II. Montgomery would make god member of the city council should ;.e run and many of his friends are out for him trying to get him to allow his name to he placed on the ticket A. Polet is still tending strictly to business up at his grocery store and isn't bothering his head about the campaign He is not sure that he will be candidate for as yet there are sufficient men who are expected to run to make a good council Bu- the public is inclined to have him ia the running. They believe that Tony wDuiG make a most excellent councilman and his name is often heard mentioned for the position
 Tonight or before We go to rress Monday there is supposed to be some thing doing The storm is about ready to burst in all its glory m the form of a mass meeting called and the hall paid for, by one who wants tp ba "t''. Then the storm may subsile dcwn to a tempest in tea pot which the indications of late leads oas U hs :. leve. It would be fine for a masl me. irg. and to have our friend Gilmore lampoon Bow Peep. for he can do sn in s, cr a nice smoothe way. and he loves pt litical flashes so we'll that he nay wax eloquent as he sends in a Hing bright remark. first from the left. then from the right. and as he puts his heart into his work We may have enough suggestions to run this ,n'u,r T for a week
 l Carleton and the other members Of the old council are still in doubt as to coming out and announcing them selves and it may be considerable pres sure may have to be employed to get some of the others 10 run. O. D. Coch-
 pn won't run under any condition SD the mayor is out of the question he has had all that he wants and believes he has performed his duty toward the people by giving up his time during the past two years
 With so fewmen In the running it k hard to tell who will be mayor at tho present time. and perhaps until after the registration, or the council has been elected no person will know The Bow Peep column has created sufficient interest fin the election to bring out q goodly number of votes for the coming election and no doubt the people will see 10 it that there are sufficient can didates in the field to give all a choice in their selection of a proper council to govern the city
 II sems to be stand off at the pres. ent time between Hill and Carleton fpr mayor, and quite a few believe if Gn- mre runs alone he may succeed in get ting elected on the council but some have grave doubts Of even that
 Some bets have been made that GlI- more will not run one, two or three on the tickt should he be a candidate so We are informed and by men who generally make a winning on city cleo tion. This Is the first straw we have heard of that tells which way the wind is blowing. but more may spring up between now and election so n better line on affairs can be had.
 All should go up and register this evening. if they haven't already for this evening. if they haven't already for this is the last chance and the books
