mtntstration in a Democratic city
convention and with the Democratic
Newspaper here singing the praises
OF almost every part of the city
government the present council
manic year. there is general feel
in9 that the election OF the ticket
headed by Frank R. Moore should
be unanimous April next. With
out adverse critics and. with no fault
10 find. why should any one believe
that the Moore ticket is not strong
and winning one?
Especial attention is called to the
fact that within the year, the Expo
nent has strongly endorsed about
every department of the city govern
ment as its own words show and as
there is no laxity now in running
the city's affairs it has no just or
reasonable grounds for change of
mind. 1t is to he congratulated If
it shows courage and selg-respec;
enough to stand fly what it has said.
Note what the Exponent says
about Mayor Moore as follows:
Mayor Moore Is very qunctua!,
and he attends TO all affairs in his
court most .expedidously. Even the
residents5of the city who are not of
the same political convictions cannot
hep admiring the methods of tho
mayor, and 1t is unanimously CON
coded that he is the best mayor
Clarkaoung ever had"
In addition the Exponent says
Mayor Moore is high minded gen
tleman, and as a matter Of fact
wants all the ordinances of the city
enforced. He is just to the most
minute derail, and never suffers
himself to he influenced Dy his
friends Or personal ideas"
|. And further praise of Mayor
Moore is made by the Exponent as
follows:
One attending the mayors court
cannot help but admire The dignity
and the manly way in which he dis
penses with the city's perplexins
problems.
Mayor Moore is certainly described
as an ideal mayor by the Exponent
ana what stronger endorsement o.!
a public official, if any, could be
given than that 'by the Exponent III
! this instance?
Also the public finds the Exponent
giving similar praise to Harry l.,
Brooks, chief of nollce, when it re-
fers TO him in he following man-
iner:
"Clarksbumg's alert CHIEF Of po-
lice had his eye on a Suspicious
looking character"
Also the Telegram tilds the Ex-
ponent within the year describing
Chiei OF Police Brooks as valiant
and brave" essentials every good
lCulei VI ponce mas
Alert! Valiant. Brave! That,
is what the Exponent has said
Harry IL. Brooks is as chief of police
of the city. Remember that.
But the Exponent has not stopped
at the head OF the police department
in praising It as ideal, as it refers
to some of the policemen at least as
courageous officers" This fully
shows that it has strongly endorsed
the police department of the city
government.
Then, go to the water works and
sewerage board, of which John o..
Brooks, nominee on the Moore
ticket, is member, and one finds
the Exponent endorsing it, too, in a
manner that says plainly that it be
lieves that department is efficient
and doing splendid service. Here is
one OF the things 1T, has said about
that department:
They are conducting the affairs
of he city in plain, matter of fact,
and strictly business manner.
Thus, is another department OF
the city government most heartily
/ endorsed by the Exponent.
Discussing another feature of the
city, the Exponent has declared that
"C'arkshurg we'll deserves hetrepu-
tatiol OF being the mos, healthful
city in the state This is a splendid
tribute to the health department OF
the present city government. Again,
,yae public finds another department
OF the city government endorsed by
the Exponent.
Still another department, tina; of
the school board, is also endorsed
by the Exponent. Read what it says
