THE CITY ADMINISTRATION.


The spirit Of the Chamber OF Com.
merce. successor to the Commercial
club, is one which commends itself
10 the people ~ an aspiring city. II
IFS resolved, il actions and words
mean anything, and they do, that by
sones shah be byaones. so far as past
political differences are concerned
Within this new civic and industrial
organization. for the upbuilding of
the town and the surrounding COM
munity.
So, with the new city administra-
ton, we assume that, until such time
as it may be necessary to discuss
candidates and policies again preced-
ing another election, there will be a
general disposition to accord the adj
ministration, which has Just taken
over the reins Of government, all the
assistance that lies within the power
of every loyal citizen of the city.
II l p JOl " GA ptIItu -l1dl We
shall agree with regard to either men
OF measures. Were we all in accord,
we should not enjoy the great Amer
lean privilege of ripping one another
up and. down the back and across the
abdomen during political campaigns.
This is a glorious right which no
great and patriotic American is pre-
sumed to be ever willing to relin-
quish, wet or dry" rain or shine.
The new city administration, even
under the most favorable circum-
stances and conditions, will be labor.
ing under IA handicap, at best. It has
assumed office upon a platform of
economy and public service, and nat
urally more may be expected Of it
than it will be able to deliver. 1t
cant shut up shop'-it must keep
the city a-going, in keeping with the
trend of modern conditions. What it
saves, if anything. aside from the
difference in salaries under the com
mission form and the present form,
must result from chopping off a little
here and a little there.
But the new city administration will
be a success if it continues to hew to
the lines upon which the campaign
was made-and If it receives the
cordial cooperation of the people of
the city, for without such cooperation
no council, no city government, can
long succeed.
AS already suggested, we believe
that the administration will be &C
corded such assistance along the
lines of its duties as would be ex-
pected from a progressive and ag-
gressive and enterprising people.
A fellow at the Met. the other night
got many enthusiastic hand-claps by
his impersonation of a character of
worldwide reputation. Even the
staunch friends and admirers of the
.caricatured person greeted the i'm.
personator with rounds of applause.
He rushed upon the stage in an awful
hurry, riding a hobby horse and
wearing a broad-brimmed hat and big
pair of goggles. Without waiting fol
any sort of greeting he cut loose with
a pair of revolvers, aiming at every
thing in sight and nothing in partic
Iular and pulling the trigger at every
jump. Just as he rushed off the stage
he said it was the bull JOS invas
lion Of Mexico-and everybody pres
lent knew it without anybody telling
Fem. The impersonator thought the,
were cheering him and he bowed ant
scraped-but they weren't-they were
cheering Teddy!

CONCERNING PUBLIC UTILITIES.

Az best, public utilities, always
within the zone Of criticism in local
politics, are especially sable to as.
sault during campaigns fl one side or
the other thinks that votes may
thereby be won.
During the late city campaign and
during The campaign OF a year ago
when the form of government was
under consideration, the waterworks
company in Watertown was made the
target of bitter assault.
The attack Of a year ago was re
newed with greater vehemence. Zig
uratiyely speaking, the head Of the
water company was portrayed as an
octopus whose t]entacles were reach
ing out TO enslaye the populace.
AS a counter-irritant, we take it,
and to divert attention from one pub
lie utility to another, the gas com
pany, and particularly its head, who
has been prominent in political mat
tiers for more than a score of years,
was singled out for sharp criticism.
This counter-attack, like the origin
al assault upon the water company,
was intended to swing votes from one
side to the other. The probability is
that the net result made no appre-
ciuble impression upon the public
mind, one attack olfsetting the other,
except, possibly. the creation of a
doubt With respect to the good faith
of all public service corporations, the
tendency being to develop the thought
that all are bad, some being a little
worse than the others.
We doubt not but that both sides
in the late controversy will freely ad.
nit, IN their calmer moments, that
both the water oompany's franchise
and The gas eompany's franchise am
ply safeguard the interests of the
people.
We will go farther by saying that
we doubt whether any city in the
northwest is operating under either
q water OF a gas franchise which
affords better protection to the pub.
lie than the two franchises mentioned
i'm Watertown.
Whether the two companies whose
names We're branded about during
the late campaign in this city are
living up to the letter and the spirit
OF their respective franchises, we
are unable to say, from personal
knowledge, but we are inclined to the
belief that beth of them, together
with the other public service corpor.
'ations in the city, have met both their
private and their public obligations
within the spirit of sound business
principles and the terms of their re.
%spective contracts.
The Saturday News deplores the
tendency in political campaigns to
capitalize prejudice and the disposi
ton to indulge in personalities.
neither of which ever made a people
great or ever won lasting victories
for the right.

however, that squirrels eat birds eggs
and that the more squirrels the fewer
birds there will be. Not many SPUR

SENTIMENT FOR HUGHES:

Unquestionably, we think, the re-
publican sentiment of the country
leans towards the nomination of jus
tice Hughes as the standard-bearer
of the party for 1916.
Tie Literary Digest has beer poll
ing the legislators OF the various
states, and it finds that those express
ing themselves at all, even in the
ragorite son" states. are inclined to
believe that Hughes would have 2
tendency Il. cement all elements Of
lhe party together to. make comm m
cause against the democratic party.

one Of the peculiartties OF the re

1acteri2ed by some as the creates lily
ing statesman while others regart
him as one Of the most dangerous
public men Of the generation ,opin
ions ranging all the way between the
1.-TWO extremes.
Nevertheless unless it becomes OBJ
yious that Hughes is likely to accep

nomination to him, the pro-Rooseve'

land the selection of the former pres;
dent to lead the party in 1916 is no
altogether improbable.

brammer FOR Representative

Inc colored voters of Polk county
We're never more united in the sup.
port OF any candidate for public Office
IMAM they are in supporting George
L. brammer tor county attorney.
George Brammer is known to be far
and unpreJudiced; in TACT he demon
strated his absolute fairness in the
last session Of the owa legislature, of
winch he was a member from this
county. He gave courteous treatment
and consideration to every person
having public business to transact
with him, and he may be expected to
40 the same thing in any office in
which the voters may place him.
Mr.. Brammer introduced and cham
ploned what was known as the zap
preparation bill" for the colored peo-
pie and in many other ways showed
that he is unbiased and safe man
to occupy public Office.
George Brammer is we'll qualified
for the position he seeks and seems
to be receiving as strong support
among all classes as he is among the
colored people. Indications are that
he will be winner" by a good ma
jority. He will make a good county
attorney.
