An ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK.

Al AYoR Howells message TO the people Of Whining
\ ton has made a profound impression. It is being
praised by thoughtful Of all parties able and
patriotic uttcrance that bears vitality upon the future
Of our city It has oyershadowed everything that has
been said by his opponents in the ror the mayor
atty II surface indications for anything at ALL
he should win on Saturday by a substantial plurality
DR. Willard Springer the Democratic candidate is
unable arouse any rubc interest in mis- candidacy
It fallen like blanket the city Democracy
He has been injured irreparaby political estimation
by the che &c made by Frank Mccoy. a Democrat Of
Democrats that Dr. Springer said in his presence that
he had promised Matthew d. Murphy in event Of cleo
ton appoint member Of the Board Of Directors
Of the Street and Sewer Department until he had
suited Murphy In other words, that Murphy who is
a machine Democrat is to be the power behind the
chair ii a Democratic mayor be elected.
Francis /. DUPONT the Bull Moose Progressive
didate for Mayor, has put his political hackers in
untehabe position by coming out openly for the Single
Tax and urging its adoption in this city Nor has the
fact that Mr.. DUPONT has admitted publicly that if
elected he could not make better Mayor than Mayor
Howell, has made, increased his popularity with
the Bull Moose Progressives
Therefore, taking all things into consideration Mayor
Howell is in particularly advantageous position lie
is at the head Of strong ticket that mas the support
OF the Republican the National Progressive parties.
He is popular personally politically officially and pro-
fessonally. His administration has been so good and
clean that It cannot be attacked successfully from
any quarter. His associates on the ticket are as a
rule, men who possess the confidence and esteem Of
the public
William p, White. the candidate for President Of
City Council is of the most popular young men IN
our city He already has shown his worth as a city
official andas head the National Progressive organi-
cation. performed an exceedingly valuable work In our
State last Fall He has a record for honesty sobrley
industry and progressveness that should bring to him
the undivided support Of the Republicans and National
Progressves and also that OF many independent voters
James f. Price the candidate for City Treasurer is
particularly strong From all sides he is re-
Giving hattering Of hearty support He Is
conducting splendid campaign and making 1t affec-
tvenot only for himself for his associates on
the ticket
James H. Morris, the candidate for Assessor and
Collector for the Northern District has made such a
good record In the tax Office that he should win re-
election by largelyincressed plurality That district
is normally Republican, but Mr. Morris has been such
good Official that he would carry it even were II
close one.
II IS pity that the southern district is so strongv
democratic Only for that fact, Leo j. Dugan the Re.
publican candidate for Assessor and Collector there
would defeat the Democratic candidate As u is he
already is assured Of the support Of all Republicans and
Naonai Progressves in the district and also that of
many Democrats.
The other candidates the Republican ticket ars
well worthy of support and doubt will receive n
All In all the outlook for Republican victory n,
Saturday is very encouraging
