Ticket Wei worth voting.


Clarksburg voters generally will
have the opportunity next Tuesday
to'vote for the reelection OF several
men for city office, who have served
the city well and who are prepared
by virtue of their experience to
serve Ii still better. They are men.
whcecan be trusted to conduct the
attatrss OF the city in a business-like
and capable manner. The public
knows that for the reason that they
have been tried and not found
wanting They have gone through
the test successfully.
Frank r. Moore at the head OF
the ticket is an excellent mayor and
the praises given him during the
year by citizens irrespective OF party
afilfation are merited. That he will
continue the course he Is pursuing,
If reelected, every one admits.
That course has public appreciation
and naturally 1t is expected that the
people will show it with great em-
phasts election day by casting their
ballots for him.
However much those representing
designing office-hungry politicians
and coterie of men who want to
possess themselves OF control Of the
icity's affairs for personal political
Epreferment later say against
him. Harry L. Brooks is ac-
knowledged to be the best chief
of police clerkshurg has had in sew
Ieral years. Mr.. Brooks Is not only
capable but he is far more ex-
Eperienced than many men in the
police service OF the country. A
great part OF his life has been thus
spent. He was good member OF
the police force several years and
when. elected to the head of the de-
partment by the people OF the city
he entered at once on the duties OF
that office in a dignffed, honest, up
right and capable manner and the
conduct of the Office under him has
been such as to elicit much praise.
That public approval OF his course
will he expressed at Tuesdays cleo
ton seems certain.
VIII H. Cole is faithful, eff
fclent city clerk as all members OF
recent city councils will testify. The
records Of the city are kept by him
in fine clerical shape and he is OF,
Itenttve to ali his duties. Possibly
there is not a better city clerk in
West Virginia and his intimate
knowledge OF the AFFAIRS of the city
together with the commemorate
course he has pursued as city clerk
strongly appeal, to the people to
keep him there the coming year.
Exercising their deep appreciation
OF capahiIity and experience as well
as strlctest Integrity, they may we'll
consider it quite correct ana proper
to vote for him next Tuesday.
Say what they will, members OF
the opposition have not been able to
demonstrate to the public that they
are capable of furnishing to the city
a better street superintendent than
Edward j. Doyle. This was tried a
couple of years or more ago but 1t
proved signal failure. Mr.. Doyle
will be before the voters next Tues
day and there Is every reason to be-
lieve that they will support him to
the point OF making his election a
pronounced victory.
So widely known are the superior
capabilities and knowledge Of John
o. Brooks not only along the vari-
Gus mechanical lines necessary In
successful management of the
water works and sewerage system OF
the city but also in finances that 1t
is not regarded of real necessity TO
lay before the people further his II
candidacy for membership on the
water works and sewerage board.
AS member of that board the last
few weeks he has brought to it in
valuable aid. g9e was an enthusi-
