By Little Bow Peep.

Bow Peep has been the cause of much speculation as to the author. but We will state that Dr. J II. Mustard has never written or given a sugges- ton to any of the numerous articles printed, but the writer has picked them up here and there over the town by mixing first with one faction and then another. or with friends of the respec- ] tive candidates as well as their enemies The campaign has reached that stage where we can commence to draw con clusions. and we believe We are sate m stating that d vote for Gilmore is a pledge for a wide open town where the Hid" will be taken off should the gov erumtut officials not interfere We like Gilmore as a hale fellow well met, good company. and his worse enemy. for he spends his money like water. and is such liberal cuss that the city would have to have ten times the present in- ' NplAlt NO llltNN lllt tAptHullultS lt would put the same to in order to carry out his schemes for the welfare of the people.
 Just stop and think voters the amount of money Friend Gilmore has made out of the numerous big law suits he has been engaged in since the early days of the camp one. two. three and five thousand dollar fees have been his price time and again and he has gotten the money. So he should be on Easy street.
 Before casting your vote next IT, ,s- ! day ask your self this question: Has Gilmore the business ability to help run the affairs of the city during times of retreuchment, when he goes broke running his own? Put aside all those feeling of good fellowship. for as the writer has stated we like him for he I is a hale fellow well met.
 Dr E. F.. Hin is gaining votes and seems to have the confidence of the people when one gets away from Front street In the homes he is popular and when one has the women folks in their favor they have good strong factor for getting votes
 Gus Borecn Is another strong candi- late and uo doubt win be elected to help out the old council in continuing tho present economical form of gov ernment in force in the city.
 r. W Carleton T. IT Mclean Will iam Pearson and $. I RaHie appear to be winners being on every u,liet made up by the voters as the winner The fact that the placing of the found alton under the public school cost be. tween thirty and forty dollars ov ihe councilmen doing the work themselves bv the day when contractors believed ft would require from one hundred 70 two hundred dollars 10 perform the work appeals to all taxpayers
 People say that it is ont of the l4es. ton 10 expect 10 elctc two lawyer. 'aud many are looking with favor to- ward Elwood Rruner as their choice If legal light in the council
 ". II Pearson has strong follow ing and has a most excellent record 10 back mp his Intentions"
 So scared are a certain few becpin- ing that they are batting themselves on the back and saving: United we stand. divided We fall" and are trying 'o merge interest to give strength ono to the other
 Yorkey is now claiming that Gilmo e stole his platform. and at hat ne cr- poets 10 head the list. Perhaps he will if Dad Williams should drop out. fur the bottom becomes the head when re- versed," one voter remarked when ask d his opinion of how strong ne would run. So there you have 1t the oaudi- ldate has visions of heading the ti,ltet and his friends has bugs" ;,tat he will come in at the tail end of the kite.
 There is a strong wave sweeping over the city eminating from the homes that the council should be free from ties of both saloons and gamb- ling Both may be right in the eyes of some, but they never should be mixed together
