The genial, whore souled, kind and
yet aggressive Edmond Doyon, the
Republican nominee for Alderman of
Ward 4, after repeated declarations
that he was not a candidate for the
office, has yielded to the persistent de-
mands and requests that the ward
committee has made upon him, is now
willing to enter the fight which means
plenty of sacrifice on his part. but
when once in the game he plays it to
the finish.
Mr.. Doyon needs no introduction to
the voters of Ward 4. Twice before
he has run as alderman and although
being defeated, he ran ahead of his
ticket and helped wonderfully to cut
down the enemy's majority. The
world loves a good fighter and a game
one and it is this coupled with his de-
termination Gf elected) to see that
Ward gets a square deal and its cit
izens placed upon the same plane
when the needs of improvements, by
the way of sanitation, suitable streets
for pedestrians who are obliged to go
to and from their work in bad weather
and that they may not be obliged to
stand all day with damp feet and mud
covered shoes, such as is quite fire.
quent at the present time; adequate
street lights, enforcement of health
rules, proper sewerage system, school
facilities and teachers, early morning
snow plowing to enable mill employ
ees to get to work without exposure to
IL 4, 1nI
streets and numerous other civic ne
cessities.
Mr.. Doyon and his methods of do
ing business, his steady rise as busi-
ness man, his many charitable and
kind deeds, stand as an open book in
his ward. His ever ready willingness
to assist in any attempt for the uplift
of the people is a marked characteris-
tic of his personality. he is the best
living example of Uncle Abe" we have
ever seen. Mr.. Doyon is we'll fitted
and fully capable OF representing his
ward in the city government. No man
in the ward is now thoroughly posted
as to the crying needs and the neglect
that his ward is subjected to and in
his modest, yet forceful way, can
properly present them for eonsidera
ton. II elected to the city govern
ment (all present signs indicate that
he will) the citizens and tax payers
will know that they have one aid
man present in no uncertain way at
a majority of the city meetings. Mr.
Doyon is represented in nearly every
organization of fraternities in the
ward, having occupied chairs in near
ly all of them.

Joseph j. Lambert, one of the Re-
publican nominees for Councilman for
Ward 4, is a young man of immeas-
urable worth, coming from one of the
best families in the city and coming
we'll up to the standard of American
citizenship, young man Of spotless
reputation, enterprising, ambitious.
unafraid to stand by what he thinks
is right, possessing courage of convic-
tion, undaunted by threats, can stand
on his feet and fight for the uplift of
his own people and contest for their
rights, possessing good foresight and
generally looks before he leaps.
Mr.. Lambert reluctantly entered this
contest, but being pressed by his nu-
merous friends and promises of un-
divided support from both sides, ac-
quiesced and is out to win in the fight
for better municipal recognition of
Ward and its citizens.
Mr.. Lambert is at present employed
in one of the leading clothing estab-
lishments in the city, in fact, one OF
the largest in the State whose long
and successful career In the clothing
business has been due to fair dealing
and surrounding themselves by sales
men of Mr.. Lambert's character. he
is at present a member of the Retail
Clerks Union and was before entering
the clothing business, a member OF
the Loom Fixers' Union, taking
withdrawal card to enter the Clerks
Union, thus placing himself on the
side of organized labor for the pnr-
pose of betterment of the labor class,
when law and order is the element
that brings them sympathy from the
public. He is a member Of the Sacred
Heart Club, an organization deVoted
to social intercourse and athletics
coupled with American ideals, similar
to that of our Y. M. C. A, also
member of the Societe de st. Jean
Baptiste.
Mr.. Lambert is another of theI type
that the committees sought in order
that their character and ability might
be unassailable when up for the citi-
zen's support to place them in the
city government.
