AGAINST JAMESON

What looked like a calm municipal
sea couple of weeks ago is at pres
ent seething body of political waters.
First has come the filing of the pc
tltion to vote upon the question of SELL
ing Intoxicating liquors in the city of
Sank Centre. Thursday afternoon of
last week the Herald heard rumor
that A. j. Dubeau, who purchased the
Palmer House last winter, moving to
this city from Glenwood to take pos
session May 1, would be a candidate
for mayor against DR.. H. F. Henne-
mann. The rumor became a reality
Saturday when Charles Miller and
Frank Nelson circulated Mr.. DuBeau's
petition which received 102 signers.
At the same time r. r. Kells circulat-
ed the petition for DR.. Hennemann
and it was filed after 80 signatures
had been received.
Mayor Hennemann will go before
the people solely upon his record of
accomplishment for the city's welfare,
especially with the taking over and
equipping the electric light and power
plant. His supporters feel that his
efforts entitle him to an Endorsement
by the people.
Mr.. Dubeau has furnished the Her.
aid an outline of what he hopes to ac-
complish and what he will stand for
if elected. His signed statement fol-
lows herewith:
81 want the people of this city to
know where and how / stand. Il have
no political aspiration other than to
be elected mayor at the coming cleo
ton.
eff chosen mayor of Sank Centre,
I shall consider it an office of trust
<and not of profit. ~,
Il believe absolutely ia clean city,
and I shall see to the impartial en-
forcement Of some Of our laws.
"The utmost economy consistent
with efficiency will be practiced in the
administration of the city's affairs. I;
81 believe absolutely in clean polit-
les and clean election and stand for
the people in general. b
"T will permit no interests, private
political, commercial, or any sort, to
control me or any branch of the city
government.
81 have not and shall not make any
: promises of patronage and will conse-
!. quently make appointments to serve
the best interests of the people.
"The kind of business conduct
makes me Independent as l depend
largely on the travelling public. For
this reason 1 can serve the people on
equal basis and to the best of my
Judgment and ability; and in regard
to our new electric light plant, for
which there has been so much talk
about in the campaign, the work will
go on just the same. 1t is all In black
and white, all contract work, and II
will be carried out according to plans
and specifications, and everything else
that is now planned out for the COM
ing term, if 1T is the wish OF the peo-
nile. We have chance for much
larger and more beautiful city II we
will just get together and organic
and make extra effort to improve and
push it along. 1t can be done. Ouf
shipping facilities and location is un'
excelled and there is no reason why
we can not get some small manu1ac-
, turing plants and wholesale brancn
houses. We have some good boosters
but they require more help and the
support of the people of our city ano
to encourage them in all their un-
dertaings.
"Do you want your city to drag
along as it has in the past or Will you
take a chance and help make 1t q
better and cleaner one? | Will &c
all in my power to satisfy the ma
jority, and majority rules, and you
are the judge.
cart, j., DuBeau."
Roth gentlemen are high grade cit-
liens and no doubt either will make
a very satisfactory chief executive 81
the city,.

the aldermen from the Second ware
for several years, has filed his petit
ton for reelection. With the rest 81
the council he has devoted much time

terests of Peter Robischon's candidacy
for the place. 1t was filed late We'd
