A PEOPLES TICKET.

At citizens mass meeting held in
The council chamber of the city hall
Tuesday evening, second ticket to
he known as the Peoples Ticket
was placed in nomination for the COM
\ mg election next week. Like the gath
ering which placed the first ticket in
The field, this meeting was very har-
monious and passed off quickly and
very smoothly.
The meeting was called to order by
Ed. Davis who stated very concisely
and pleasantly the object of the gath
n ering and suggested that the business
be transacted as quickly as possible
and that only the very best available
timber be put in noinatiOn. Upon mo-
1 ton Mr.. Davis was made the perma-
nent chairman and F. Bartell, jr., was
ID like manner unanimously chosen
n for secretary of the convention. The
nominations for the various Offices
we're in each case confined to a single
,person and that individual nominated
by acclamatiOn and universal acquies-
ence of all those present. The follow
K jng excellent ticket was put out for
n the consideration of the citizens of
-Four town: Mayor, Ed. Davis, council
men for the two year term, Joe Ed
F Wards and w. 0. Hamisch; council
man for the one year term, p. j. An
ldersOn; treasurer, Frank Bartell, jr
NJ Mr. Davis, the candidate for mayor,
+ y one of the pioneer business men of
our little city and like the most OF
Them he started from very small be-
h Sgnning until today by careful man
'aS,ot ,ant nd ri h,,C
/. ods he is the proprietor of a large and
" lucrative business and is eminently
z 1tted for the position to which he has
been nominated and If elected will
!, give the city good clean business ad-
E pinistration. Mr.. Edwards, candidate
3 for two year term in the council, is
1n old settler of Okanogan county and
1ne OF the early pioneers of the Loom
rs neighborhood, having moved to OrO-
S'yflle several years ago. He owns a
very desirable piece of property in the
|3routh part of town and has proven
Aimself TO be an honest, honorable and
&Hpright citizen of the better class and
&D now lilling an appointive place on
lAe city council with great credit. Mr..
awards need make no promises as to
Is position in city governmental af-
Mrs as his present position in that
1ody is an open book. w. o. Hamisch,
ne second candidate for the two year
Dfm, Is also one of our most enter
pfistng and prosperous merchants who
me when the town was weakling
&0fant and has grown with the place.
&Mr. Hamisch has asked us to announce
thAt he very kindly declines the nomi-
ootiOn and does not wish his name to
s appear upon the ballot. We regret
2hts stand on the part of Mr.. Hamisch
~ he has proven himself to be good,
4 euccessful business man and one who
~ elected would give the office his best
en0rts The office sought Mr.. Hamisch,
Z - We have personal knowledge, so we
are in hopes that his friends will per-
suade him to leave his name on the
ballot and qualify if elected. p. }. An
dersOn, to whom fell the honor of the
one year term on the council, is an old
liner in these parts but more of a
newcomer in the business life of the
city than the balance of his colleagues
though he is showing himself to be
careful and successful business man
In whom it would be well to repose
confidence as we'll as the affairs Of city
government. Frank Bartell, jr.. the
nominee for the important position OF
city finance keeper, is one of the
bright and talented young business
men who has almost been brought up
within the confines of this city. He is
trusted employee of the general
merchandising firm of F. Bartell Il co.
and Is in every way nicely qualiiled TO
NIL with honor to himself and credit
to the city, the office to which he has
been nominated, should he be the sue
cessfu candidate. Taken singly or
collectively, this ticket and the one
placed in nomination last week, Is
composed of the very best possible
material for the successful handling
OF the citys affairs and the prospects
Tor good straight out and out Dusi-
ness administration could not POSSIBLY
be brighter
