 modest in "his running" for he Is siven credit for saving that should he head the ticket as he believes will be the case. he will resign the honor in favor Of some other candidate who will be elected with him, and is more qualified to fill the position.
 one by one the moments fall and one by one the candidates appear on the horizon. they acting as van for the large crowd to follow. A few teasers have been placed before the people. but the real power and strength of our next city council are still mask cd behind a strong defense which will show it's hand when the proper time comes
 The people are getting used to the [ fact that if takes seven men to make | up q council and the more they study the recent ordinance the better it ap- peals to them. No person is deprived ! of vote. all that is asked of them is to vote for seven of the most likely candidates seeking office, to insure the election of sufficient men to run the affairs of the city

Pearson and Bakke is a foregone conclusion. and Mayor CocE- ran we believe would run stronger than be did last spring, for the people have had time to see results and they realize he has been working for the interest of the city. But he is out of il. and the people are talking first about this. then that man for mayor. Carleton is often spoken of for the position, then a large number would like to see pr F.. F..

 Were the election held tomorrow. rbe indications are that the following would constitute the members of our next council. but who would be mavur isn't known for the people don't seem to know themselves. Rowe. Mclean, Carle- ton, Pearson, Bakke. Hnl and Polet are the strongest men in the field at the present time.
 Joe Ernst has declared his intentions lof entering the race. and Joe is a goo hard working citizen and a most ex- Icellent printer. But he won't try v.rv hard to land the prize he will work away at his job printing and place his chances of being elected in the hands of his friends. But in politics as in love to succeed one has to do he Lochinvar act.
 We are informed that Gilmore never leven gave SO much as a flicker of an Ieyelash when he heard about the anti plunking ordinance. but is reported as Igetting back into the legal chanels and the manner in which he is taking a fall out of Blackstone proves that he cah reao the hand writing on the wall. There Is some difference between being a number one politician and a good lawyer. and there is more truth, justice and brain developing material in an notations' and the different reporters of legal procedure than there is in trying to round up certain liquidation voters
