TAMMANY NO OGRE,
 SAYS METZ
Defeated Candidate for Con- trOller Wants Educational
 Campaiqn Started

New York, Nov. 7.-Congressman n Herman A. Metz, the defeated Demo cratic candidate for Controller, sailed for Europe on the Kronprinzessin Ce- ellie from Hoboken yesterday. Before leaving he issued a defence of Tam many Hall, in the course of which he suggested that the organization should organize an educational campaign to protect it's fair name.
 I've are not all crooks and thieves and grafterS in Tammany Hall, as some New York newspapers seem to want to make us out,'' said Mr. Metz There seems to be a feeling that Tam many Hall is an ogre and bugaboo and steps ought to be taken to dispeI this idea.
 Charles F. Murphy never asked me for anything and he never asked me , to do anything. This same bunch of reformers that beat us on Tuesday has been working up sentiment for some time past against Tammany Hall by use of the words 'thieves,' crooks, and 'grafters |"
 This remark had no reference to any election returns, might have been suspected, but to an attempt to pan handle the congressman through the ships chief steward. The promoter of the scheme, which proved an entire failure, gave his name as Harry Camp bell. He was held by the police on a. charge Of disorderly conduct.
 Campbell appeared at the office of the chief steward on the Cecelie a short time before she sailed and hand ed him a card with the name Her bert J. Collins, of Grand Rapids. He said he wanted to see MT Metz The man in the stewards office said that the only Metz listed was the congress- man. To this the stranger replied that he was a friend of MT. Metz, and that MT. Metz owed him 15O marks. Camp bell held out watch which he said was valuable, and asked that the mon ey be paid him. He said that MT. Metz, on seeing the watch, would rec ognize it and pay the money and take the watch Just then MT. Metz hap pened to pass by, on his way to his stateroom, heard his name mentioned, and asked who wanted him. The man

Pangalay WE'LL Stop
 Your Aches and Pains

It is not an easy thing to-day to com vince some people of the value of proprietary medicine, unless it is pre- seribed by their physicians. n:o If it is ads telling all the people of its merits, many people will condemn it just because it is advertised.
 If, however, you KNEW a thing was wonderfully healing, that it would act quickly, would drive almost any kind of an ache or pain out of your system, and that this same article was recommended and used daily by the best physicians even though it was advertised, then! would you question it's value?
 This is just what PANGALAY GA. A, ' will do: aches and pains. For rheumatism sciatica, neuralgia, sprains, bruises, etc, and our advice to you is to try it and learn of it's great worth. Don't be preju- diced because you read this ad. Just re member that we want you to know about it, and how else could we reach you quickly?

ILLUMINATION For Commercial and Residential Purposes

The well lighted store attracts trade. It is the aim of the merchant to locate his store as the traffic center possible, but poorly lighted store in the city's busy thoroughfare is, to say the least, poor economy, and shows a lack of civic pride. The aggressive business is making every effort both by day and night to attract the eye to his windows and interest to his wares, through advertising of various kinds.
 The live merchant keeps his windows bril- iantly lighted every night in the week, because he knows that although his store may be closed, selections made from the displayed stock and many times the SALE is made before the customer enters the store.
 The electric sign is the greatest advertising adjunct to the business, because it flashes upon the mind in a more definite way than any other, LOCATION and the LINE carried.
 This company has emphasized this point and is ready to advise and cooperate with the merchants in the matter of light arrangement and sign selection for effective night illunnina- tion and advertising purposes.
 The same careful attention to illumination in the home is given, for both comfort and con- venience as we'll as economy are the issues to be met.

What Kind of a Man Should We
Elect as a Mayor.
,ditor of the Rice Belt Journal:

Editor of the Rice Belt Journal -
AS the time for the election OF new
set of city officials who will haVes
charge of the affairs of our city Tor the
next two years approaches, it is well
that we consider carefully the qualltl-t
cations and requirements of that most
important city official, the Mayor. ASs5
everyone knows, the Mayor OF any :
town has large business responsibility
ties to bear In this connection let us
consider few Of the qualifications.
that candidate for mayor ought tos
possess.
LIST He should be man VINO has
been successful in his own business
affairs as such a man is far more apt to-
be successful with the business affairs
of the town than another.
End He should be man who is pro-
gressive, as this is day of progress
3rd He should be a man, who, him.
self pays a considerable amount or
taxes, as in that case he is in better
position to feel for the other fellow
who pays taxes, when it comes to ex-
pending public funds or laying additions
al expenses on the tax payers.
4th He should be man who is
broad enough to realize that he
represents the whole people, and not a.
single faction. A man who recognizes
t the fact that every citizen OF the town
4 has right;to his opinion whether 1t
t accoras with. or differs from his own.
e 5th He should be man who is
S known to be a friend to the public
o schools, as the future prosperity or
|. any community is guaged very largely
e by the prosperity Of the pubic schools
b 9Th He should be man, whose al
fairs will allow him to devote con-
O. siderable portion of his time to the
N public's business.
" Without wishing to cast any refiec'
n tons upon any candidates, who may
NJ have already, or shall announce for
a. this important Office of trust; it is safe
no to assert that Mr.. w. 3. Gabbert EN-
bodies the above qualifications in
- high degree, and would doubtless make
" thoroughly competent mayor.
no A Tax Payer.
