THE BATTLE OF THE
BALLOTS OCCURS TODAY
CONTEST BETWEEN MUNICIPAL
CANDIDATES SPIRITED. TAKE
COUNT TO NAME WINNER.

The battle of the ballots to decide
the winners in the municipal primary
will take place Wednesday, and ev-
erything is in readiness for the voters
to express their choice.
Two candidates for mayor and
five candidates for the three alder
manic places have conducted their
campaign on a high plane, free from
personalities and bitterness. The
candidates are: For mayor, j. q.
Dean and j. d. Weaver, and for al
dermen A. j. Baldwin, T. D. Wall,
r. S. Martin, F. NJ. Jennings and w.
L. Pace.
There is no one who can safely
predict who the winners will be- Both
sides claim victory by q decisive ma
iority, but it is safe to say that
the race will be a close one, and that
it will take a count of the ballots to
decide who the winners will be.
The city executive committee met
last Tuesday afternoon for the pur-
post of purging the list of those not
entitled to vote, and removed three
names At this meeting it was de-
cided to use two separate tickets with
the names of each mayOralty candi-
date and the candidates for alder
men running with them, but there
was some objection to this plan by
four of the candidates on the ground
that one of the candidates would be
on both tickets, which they claimed
would give him an advantage over
the other four, and at later meet
ing, which was held Friday after
noon, it was decided to use only one
ticket with the names of all the can
didates printed on it. At this meet
ing two more names were removed
from the registration list. This re-
duced the number of qualified voters
from 447 to 442, which is said to be
the largest number ever known for
a city primary in Dawson.
Judge J. w. Peddy, j. A. Horsley
and G. A. Gibson will be managers
of the election. and G. S. Crowell, j.
H. Whitchard and Steve Cooke will
serve as clerks.
The city executive committee has
ordered 1000 tickets for the cleo
ton, which is about 100 for each
voter.

PATH OF HAPPINESS.

Wouldn't you be happy if you
could marry a beautiful girl like VIC
let Mersereau? Arthur Hamilton
says he would, and | believe | would
too. She is not mortgaged and is
looking for husband. Come to the
Palace Wednesday and see her. She
is perfect little queen, only 8 years
old, and as attractive as can be. She
will appear in The Path of Happi-
ness" Just think about it-this
beautiful girl in a fine tive-reel Rid
Feather feature. If you are married
leave your wife at home and slip
around to the Palace and see her.
Or, you might bring your wife along
with you; she can't get Jealous, for
Violet can't marry us all. The prop
osition is simply this: The Univer-
sal Film Company will give the posi-
ton Of actor to the best looking man
in America. Just send your photo
graph in with complete specifications.
In addition to this, Violet has agreed
to marry the winner of the contest.

TT COST TOO MUCH.

! once knew a bachelor who was
slowly crossing the meridian of life.
Around his temples the frost of years
had begun to form, and he was walk
ing to eternity alone and uncaTed for.
He was a man that had made a sue
cess in life. He had an income that
would have given him much pleas
ure, but his actual living expenses
were under thirty dollars month.
He thought of nothing, he thought of
no one, but his three meals a day
and a bed at night He was refined,
he was cultured, and in his younger
days had been attractive. He had
long intended to marry and start a
new life-when he had accumulated
money enough but the more he got
the more he thought he needed, and
the less he would spend. The girls he
visited found his company boring, he
talked of nothing that entertained
them, he was not one of them. He
never drank a soda water, he never
smoked a cigar, he never saw a pict-
ure show. (Hs was not able.) At
night he would hover around the
stove in a drug store, or if it was
summer time he would sit alone lis
tening to the boot of the owls await
ing until it was time to retire. How
different his life would have been if
he had realized that there was more
to life than existence. Had he ap-
propriated at least ten cents a day
to pleasure and seen the picture show
he would have been more happy. 1t
would have brought him in touch
with people socially. it would have
made him cheerful, it would have
made him up to date, it would have
made him more entertaining with the
girls. In fact, it would have made
his life worth living.

 ST. LOUIS, Feb. 4.-Presldent Will son delivered his address on prepared ness issues here today before an audi ence of 15,OOo people.
 The spech differed in a considerable degree from those that have preceded 1t during the preparedness tour, In that the executive confined his remarks largely to the navy and there was an almost complete absence of the vague generahzations and hints of threatened dangers that have been the feature of the majority of his previous ad- dresses on the subject
 Wilson this time spoke straight from the shoulder and gave his hearers many of the reasons upon which he
