DEFEAT VALENTINE

The entrance of Emery Valentine in the for Mayor simplifies the issues of the municipal cam paign It leaves one issue of paramount importance The interest we have in law and order continued development in harmonious progress along all lines demand the defeat of Valentine
 The entrance of Valentine into the municipal gov ernment at this time would be just like letting bull into a china shop There would be year of muni- cipal turmoil. There would be friction and quarrel ling from the beginning to the end. And Juneau has time for this sort of thing The city has been making steady progress, both in materia way and in moral way She is giving tfe< people better & kipafy service than Before, ahd better all the time. She afford to her face to the past She cannot afford to take backward step. She afford jeopardize her future by buffoonery. SHE MUST DEFEAT VALENTINE.
 There would be chance for Valentine if there had been full registration of the voters of the city He would be third in the against MT. Ercson and Mir Robertson if there 1,500 the voters lists instead of 1000 He will probably be the last man in the anyhow, if both the others re- should be eliminated. The Empire does not care fig which Both MT. Ericson and MT Robertson clean and capable. Either would make a good Mayor. The clean, forward-looking, up-standng men and of Juneau should concentrate the other of these men, and give him such majority that it will mean the everlasting burial of Valentine and Valentineism in this city.
