Canvas of Voters.

The Republican city committee has
completed canvas of the Republican
voters and fully 80 per cent. of the
men interviewed were first, last and
all the time for Mr.. Swift There
seems to be but little doubt that he
will receive the nomination and should
receive the support of the united anti
Democratic strength.
A year ago Mr.. Swift consented re-
luctantly to become a candidate and,
with his party torn asunder, he came
very near being elected. He is a man
of such clean and progressive ideals
in business and politics that he will
rally every friend of good govern
ment in the city. The campaign in
his behalf will be earnest and thor
ough. Steps have already been taken
to renew the activities of the Republi-
can Club; the policies and platform
are being outlined and such others
steps as are preliminary to an active
campaign are being taken.
Mr.. Swift begins the campaign full
of confidence asld enthusiasm. An eff
fort will be made at once to perfect
the several ward organizations in a
plan of campaign that is certain to
bring victory at the polls

In brilliant red that are very good.
There are bouquets consisting OF a

sprig or two OF green that are good.
Then there are zinnias, nasturtiums,
peoples and many other flowers in
their own natural, rich coloring.
The placing of the flower Is rather
important. 1t can be placed on the
